of Question Covered in
House Hearing.
~ the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
Supporters of the eighteenth amend
ment announced today they proposed
to utilize the recess period in the House
judiciary committees prohibition hear
ings by going over the testimony of the
anti-prohibition group and arranging
to call witnesses to combat each phase
of the question that opponents of the
dry law had touched upon.
Mrs. Lenna L. Yost, in charge of the
presentation of dry witnesses, said it
was the plan of the drys to cover every
angle of the question from a moral to a
legislative aspect.
She added that the problem confront
ing her was attempting to arrange the
program to include as many as possible
of the number of people desiring to
testify.
so many kilograms have come from
all parts Of the country from persons
who desire to testify in support of pro-
hihitioh that IL wiz be impossible for
all to be heard" she asserted. I'VE in
1nnd 10 sift them and present d large
number briefly"
The drys have used their frst two
days in an effort to establish that
prohibition has been a contributing
factor to home comfort, industrial
prosperity, improvement through In
creased buying power Of the farm
market, the general health and that
the dry law has the Endorsement of high
society, the heads of industry, the
farmer and the people as whole.
Get at Least Five More Days.
Two full days have been devoted To
the friends of the eighteenth amend
ment, with at least fire more to come
They have said they will make use of ali
OF the seven days originally allotted to
them, and Representative Graham OF
pennsylvania, the chairman of the COM
mlttee, has promised them additional
time If they want it.
The chairman, who has twice de-
nounced the prohibition laws In the
course Of the hearings, made this state
ment when dry members of the commit
te objected to extended cross-examina-
tion OF dry witnesses and the introduce
tlon OF statements by wet committee
members as consuming the time allotted
the sponsors Of prohibition.
Eight Dry Witnesses Heard.
The drys have presented eight wit
nesses, including an economist, a clergy
man, society leader, prominent Cath
ollc layman, magazine writer. a farm
leader, one present and one former
member Of the House and a business
man.
AS when the vets were presenting
their testimony, the committee room
was packed with spectators. When the
dry witnesses were on the stand there
was applause for the statements of the
latter as there was for those of the vets.
The committee is devoting two DAYS
each week to the hearings, Choosing
wednesdays and Thursdays for this our.

OLD AGE PENSION BOARD
Alfred /. DUPONT is Appointed TO
Commission by Gov. c. ID. Buck


Commission by Gov. c. ID. Buck
announcement was made Mon
day afternoon by Governor c. p.
Buck that Alfred I. DUPONT has
consented to head a commission
that will make a study of the old
age pension siIation in Delaware
and make recommendations to the
next session of the General As
sembly. Mr.. DUPONT has made a
thorough study of old age pen
sions, at the present time, main
tanning a pension system of the
aged in Delaware with about 1.200
being benefited. He is paying
the pensions from his personal
funds. In view of the study made
by Mr.. DUPONT, the acceptance by
him to head the commission will
be greeted with much favor by
those who have been interested in
the old age pension plan. Under
the old age pension plan of Mr..
DUPONT, thousands of dollars have
been given to aged Delawareans.
For some time it was not known
who was providing the funds for
the old age penesion plan, but Mr..
DUPONT finally consented to per-
NIT having his name made public.
In view of the vast amount of
stury already made of this prob
lem by Mr. DUPONT, his selection
is regarded as the logical one.
Governor Buck has held a number
of conferences with Mr. DUPONT, in
regard to the old age pension plan
In addition to making recommen-
dations to the Legislature, it is
more than likely that this body
will also submit a bill for consid-
Grafton by the General Assembly.
