Rep. Dyer to Be Heard
Mar. II on Light Drinks
By Wickersham Group

The Wickersham Law Enforce
ment Commission will hold it's
hearing on the proposal of Repre-
sentative Dyer (RD Of Missouri,
to recommend legalizing of ATS
per cent beer on March IL, Dyer
announced today.
With other Congressional vets
and anti-prohibition organizations
preparing to close their main case
before the House Judiciary Com
mittee tomorrow for repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment, Dyer
Is preparing to advocate beer and
light wines before the Wicker
sham commission as an immedi-
ate step toward solution Of the
question.
The Missouri Representative
plans to seek not only q legal
opinion from the commission on
the power of Congress to author
ize 2.75 beer, but to contend such
action would allay much of the
discomfort over prohibition and
make it easier to enforce the law
against hard liquor.
Breckenridge Long, Of st. Louis,
Assistant Secretary Of State in
the Wilson Administration, is
slated to be the first witness for
the vets when they renew their
demand for repeal Of the Eight
eenth Amendment before the
House Judiciary Committee to-

and possibly others, would be
needed to handle other phases of
air activities, such as the freight
business, and the activities Of
aviation schools.
Legislation which would carry
out the plans of the commission
is in the drafting process, and
Senator Bingham hopes to have
it ready for introduction within
a day or two.
The stand of the Chamber on
the proposal Of the Joint Con-
greSSional Committee on Airport
will be definitely taken at a
meeting Of the Chamber execu-
tive committee this afternoon in
the offices of the Chamber.
The Joint committee has pro-
posed that the District borrow
$2,50O,000 from the Federal gov
ernment for purchase of Hoover
Field and the Washington Air
port. Charles w. Darr, president
Of the Chamber, has expressed
opposition to this plan on the
ground that the Federal govern
ment should bear a proportionate
share of the expense, and that it
is useless to spend so large an
amount of money when the Gov
ernment already owns potential
airport site at Gravelly Point.
Endorsement Expected
It is expected that the COM
mittee at its meeting today will
endorse Darr'S stand. The CON-
mittee's findings will be reported
to the board Of directors of the
Chamber at its regular meeting
tomorrow night at o'clock.
The Merchants and Manufac-
turerS Association will appoint a
committee to study the problem
and make a report at the meet
ing Of the board of governors at
their meeting March IA. The
association has endorsed Gravelly
Point, but has taken no stand on
the suggestion of a temporary
airport.

no reason for granting the writ
of certiorari.
The test is provided through
the conviction of Alfred E. Nor
ris, New York investment banker,
who telephoned a liquor order to
Joel D. Kerper. at Philadelphia.
Norris, who bought rye whisky
for beverage purposes only, was
fined 5000.
In appealing for review, Charles
E. Hughes, Jr., solicitor general,
told the court that if Norris is
freed the action will have a very
detrimental effect upon the en-.

Admitting in it's petition for re,

was not made a violation of the
prohibition act by Congress, the

tended that in some instances the

gresS with the public in the dark

1T seems to me this first year
Of President Hoover has been q

work on data and blue prints; a
pear Of foundation laying. These
IRE the mark Of the engineering
mind.
/ Cappec said the President had

tEhe outset Of his, administration
IThe problems were listed as farm
relief; law enforcement, includ-
ing prohibition; limited tariff re-
Vision; inland waterways, prepa-

asserted the tariff bill, When
finally enacted, would be lin line

gram" adding that the President
was pleased with the Democratic

thigh industrial rates.
In the recent stock market
crisis, Capper said, the President
performed a mastery piece of
work" He added the London
Naval Conference would have
"good results, though perhaps
not to the extent that many had
hoped"
LaFOllette Thinks Otherwise
LaFollette saw an entirely diff.
ferent picture. He was uncer-
tain how the President stood On
tariff rates and declared "the
time is not far distant when the
Executive must show his hand"
LaFollette also was dissatisfied
with the Presidents attitude
toward farm relief, declaring one
of Hoover's "cloSe friends
Julius M. BarneS-had led the
fight against the Farm Boards
efforts to stabilize wheat.
mo one knows whether or not
the President approves the effort
Of Barnes to hamString the
modest program for handling of
wheat inaugurated by the Board"
said LaFollette. "All the farmers
know is that after pledges made
during the campaign that they
would be given relief. the prices
OF their staple products are lower
than at any time since President
Hoover took office"
LaFollette saw only a gloomy
future for the London parley. He
said that while the United States
is spending 66 2-3 cents out Of
every dollar on war preparation
or war costs. 1T appears on top
Of this, as q result Of the Presi.

Chided on Appointments
The WiSconsinite also chided
the President for numerous public
appointments to the courts and
Federal commissions. Touching
on the appointment of ClaudiuS
II. Huston as Republican national
chairman and HuSton'S connec-
ton with the Muscle Shoals
''lobby," LaFollette added: Can
there longer be doubt in the pub
lie mind that President Hoover is
sympathetic with the interests of
the power trust and that in the
struggle between the people and
the trusts. he takes his stand on
the side of the great power
