FIGHT
To- RETAIN
DRY LAW
Iowa Member of Commission
Would Keep VoIstead Act;
Harmony Seems Impossible

The center Of controversy in
the meeting of the Law Enforce
ment Commission today is Judge
William s. Kenyon, Of Iowa, its
outstanding dry" member, who
is opposed to any report from the
body to President Hoover which
admits directly or indirectly that
the Volstead act has failed Of its
purpose.
Judge Kenyon arrived in Wash
ington today, plunged into the
work which the commission has
done in the framing Of its rec
concentrations in the past two
weeks, and appeared to be op-
posed as sStrongly as ever to
any vital modification Of the
prohibition act.
The Commission is striving
desperately hard to compose It's
differences before New Year,
which it has placed as the dead
line. for the completion of its
work on the present status Of
prohibition. The outlook, how
ever, ZOE D group OF CONSTRUCTIVE
recommendations on the liquor
issue Is as remote as ever.
George w. Wickersham, chair
man Of the commission and for
mer Attorney General, is deter
mined to clear its decks Of the
prohibition issue without further
delay, so that it may take up
other phases Of the "crime Situa-
ton" in the country. He regards
this part Of its work. including
a comprehensive program for
speeding up criminal proSecu-
tionS in the Federal courts, as
more important than any other.
The commission expects to re-
main in session throughout the
Christmas holidays unless its
deadlock results in a decision to
postpone any sort Of report to
the President at the present
time
