Past Few Months Show Tremendous Increase in Interest Vets and Drys Prepare for Strong Fight in Fall Elections.

New York. March 20 UP) P)-Pro- hibition has become a dominating is- sue in the nation within the past few months, United Press survey dis closed today.
 Recent developments disclose that about 100 bills have been intro duced on the subject in congress; ? states have prohibition legislation either introduced, or about to be in troduCed, II recent polls have been taken inquiring prohibition scnti- ment and some still are under way; hearings have been started on several national measures: both wet and dry forces are tightening their lines for concerted drives either towards leg islation or towards election of con- gressmcn or state officials this fall.
 Lean Toward Repeal
 Where there have been wet trends in polls, the voters disposition has leaned toward repeal rather than modification of the dry law. These polls, however. arc considered gen. orally as inconclusive to date. On the other side is Il recent poll by the Pathfinder Magazine in Washington which revealed on prepondcrant en- forcement sentiment in dry rural communities.
 Chairman Wickcrsham of the Hoover law enforcement commission has said that 2.75 beer would mot satisfy the robust appetite" Desire for hard liquor" may explain some of the wet attitude in favor of repeal, but, in any case, vets at Washington have practically written tho mild 2.75 beer off their program of "cures" for what they regard as de- fleets in the present prohibition sit uation.
 Main legislative activity is in the east. The United States survey dis closed New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, arc the centers of the most heated state fights. In some of the western and southern states there have been introduced - and passed in some cases-amendment making more stringent the state en- iorcement laws.
 Activity At Standstill
 On the other hand q vast number of western states reported that legis- lative activity on prohibition was at a standstill. In many of these latter the legislatures are adjourned until next year and various organizations are planning prohibition measures both towards repeal and towards more strict enforcement - at that time. In Pennsylvania the Associa- ton Against the Prohibition Amend ment is actively participating to- wards ascertaining sentiment of of- flee holders seeking reelection. They have not announced their policy.
 In such western states as Colorado Wyoming New Mexico, Texas, Ne braska, Indiana. Utah, Montana, Mis- houri, etc, legislative activity is dor lnant. Wet leaders. however. forecast activity in many of the states in the coming legislative sessions.
 The south mainly is resting with it's present prohibition laws with Georgia, North Carolina, and one or two others having prohibition laws with penalties even more drastic than the national prohibition act. The

 Yoq never need waste your time wip- ing this razor dry. And there's never any razor pull" to deprive you of shaving comfort. These are only two of many improvements that have been made.
 In tackling the problem of razor pull" thousands of men were inter- viewed. Tens of thousands of razors were examined. The evidence all pointed one way. Most razors had been dropped and the corners dented. The

 The old posts are gone, too. They stuck through the blade and so often accidentally caught and dulled .the blade edges. Please note, too, how the guard teeth are rounded back farther, to meet the skin more smoothly, more comfortably, \
 Another great convenience - the ends of the new blade are square, for safer handling with wet fingers. The square ends fit flush with cap and guard and permit closer shaving around the tight little corners of mouth, nose and cars,

CASTLE DWELLERl
SUED FOR MILLION
Soviet Asserts italian Spent
Money Deposited in U. S.
Bank by Russia,

SAN RENO, Italy, July 19.-Signor
L. Cibrario, son Of a Turin lemon ner-
chant, is living peacefully in the DeEa-
chan Castle here, with a noblemanl as
a secretary, while the Soviet govern
ment is trying to get from the italian
courts an order for him and the Ma
tional City Bank of New York to pay
100000. Ne
The Russians claim they deposited
this money in the New York bank to
Cibrario's order.
The Soviet's case thus far has not
met with great success. 1t lost in the
local San Reno Court, and in the Court
of Appeals at Genoa. Now it is before
the Court of Cessation at Rome. 81
According to the allegations, Russia
commissioned Cibrario TO go to America
and purchase for them American films
and rights. They deposited a million
dollars in the National City Bank, and
told him to use it.
Also according to the Soviet's allaga-
tons, Cibrario did use it-but hot nfor
the Soviet. He found the New York
weather rather cool and returned to the
sunny Riviera and San Reno. He car
ried out his life'S dream by buying the
gorgeous Devachan Castle. -
The Court of Appeals at Genoa De
cided that the Soviet could not touch
the National City Bank, but could SELL
proceed against CibrarI In this con-
nection it is recalled that the Soviet
seized branch Offices Of the Nati0hal
City Bank in Moscow, Petrograd and
VladivoStok, certificated stocks and
bonds, imprisoned the stats, and never
returned dollar.
