WASHINGTON.- Exportation of helium is favored by Admiral Moffett in order to assist foreign countries to avoid the danger of hydrogen in air ships. He said the United States has plenty and urges Congress to change the law which prohibits ex- portation. He said he doubted if there would have been any deaths in the R-101 crash if helium had been used.

DRYS WIN IN ILLINOIS
George Superintendent League Says Real
Election Results Decisive Answer Wet Majoties
of Straw Vote Referenda

stantly Waged in this state, Illinois can
claim to be the most conspicuous cham
pion of prohibition in the country and the
steadiness with which the drys maintain
their position.
There is additional satisfaction in these
results in view of the Literary DigeSfS
referendum now being conducted The
drys are not concerned with various nom
binding wind and straw referenda which
are the chief stock-in-trade of the liquor
interest today but when they are con-
fronted with a referendum that really
counts-With the nomination or election
of candidates for offices which have a di-
rect bearing on prohibition enforcement
they register their convictions in no un-
certain way.
In this connection it is interesting to re-
call that the Literary Digest took poll of
California voters in September, 1922, which
according to its published returns showed
a vote of about two to one against strict
enforcement, but just two months later
California voted dry by adopting the
Wright Enforcement Act with a majority
of 33 ,943. And in a referendum which the
Digest held in Ohio in September, 1922,
their figures indicated that substantial
majority of ti-prohibition enforcement
votes were cast, but two months later in
real election on the question of an amend
ment to the State Constitution to legalize
2.75 per cent beer, Ohio rolled up a ma
jority Of 189,472 against beer.

In a post-primary election statement
DR.. Geo. B. Stafford, State Superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League Of Illinois, says:
"The drys won a big victory in the pri-
mary election. Despite one of the strong
est campaigns the vets ever conducted in
this state to defeat dry candidates for
Congress, backed by the most powerful
wet newspapers of the country, the drys
re-nominated Illinois big dry delegation
for Congress, and nominated dry candi-
date for the United States Senate; they
held the lines against the terrific wet at
tack on dry legislative candidates. Prac-
tically all the dry members of both the
State Senate and House who sought re-
nomination won, and other strong drys
were nominated in addition.
To be more specific, this means that the

great city of Chicago with it's confusing
problem of law enforcement and criminal
politics, has still maintained large work.
ing majority of drys in Congress. Of the
twenty seven members to which the state
is entitled, twenty are solidly dry and two
more are casual supporters of the dry
side, giving the drys practically four ffths
of the Illinois delegation.
In the State Legislature the drys main

the State Senate with total membership
of fifty-one and continues to keep up an

FINDS LITTLE GOOD IN ALCOHOL
England Ministry of Health Issues
Warning Against Alcoholic
Beverages

Sir George Newman, chief medical Of
fieer to the Ministry of Health and the
Board of Education of Great Britain, re-
Gently made public his observations on
the effect of alcoholic beverages on the
health and welfare of the people. He
spoke out of an experience of thirty-fiVe
years as public health officer and first
hand study of the effect Of excessive use
of alcohol on individual and community
health.
The New York Times, Sunday, February
49, printed the report in full and used
the report as the basis for an editorial. We
quote the following excerpts from the New
York Times editorial
1.-THE testimony of Sir George Newman
before the Royal Commission on Licenses,
published full in yesterdays Times, fur
nished added material for the use of the
Anti-Saloon League and other organiza-
tons opposed to alcohol even If it does
not specifically advocate prohibition"
eff not used to excess does alcohol not
fortify and strengthen the body? The
answer is, I know of no scientific evidence
to support the view that alcohol in
creased and fortified the natural powers
of resistance of the body to infective
processes or that alcohol directly strength
ened the tissues of the blood
Its nutritious value is strictly limited
and transient And it's habitual use as
an aid to work is 'physiologically I'M
sound Lately the people of England
have been urged to drink more beer in
stead of tea and Sir George, as medical
officer to the Ministry of Health and the
Board of Education was asked whether
he approved such campaign. Again his
answer while not categorical was I'M
equivocal T should hope it would fall
Whatever value beer may have for a
workman is slight and transient Cock
tails are undesirable from a medical
point of view and whisky is not recon-
mended as a cure for influenza"

Henry H. Curran, president of the AS
ISOLATION Against the Prohibition Amend
ment, testifying April 16, before the Sen
ate Lobby Committee, said that his organ
ization had spent $427,213 last year in adj
vocating the repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Curran also stated that 100 persons are
employed in the twelve Offices of the As
ISOLATION. He places his salary at $4,000
a year and expenses.
William H. Stayton, chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Association re-
ceives $4,000.
Asked if $275,000 a year would cover all
salaries, Curran replied in the affirmative.
Other expenses included $23,78 year for
rent and $685. 050 for travelling expenses.
Recent testimony of John j. Raskob,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, prompted the investigation Of
Currans organization. Raskob testified
that he was a director Of the Association
and had contributed $4,000.
According to Curran, one Of the prir-
cipal purposes of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment is the support
of Congressional candidates favoring re-
peal. Chairman Caraway of the Commit
tee, asked if the Association made direct
contribution to candidates for public Of
flee. Mr.. Curran said that 1t did and
added that the Association had given $15,-
600 to the Liberal Civic League of Massa-
chusetts in support of a wet candidate in

WILL NEVER Be REPEALED

The prohibition issue was brought be-
fore the annual congress of the Daughters
of the American Revolution at Washing
ton the other day by Mrs. Anthony Wayne
Cook, of Pennsylvania, an honorary pres
ident general, with the assertion that the
Eighteenth Amendment never will be re-
pealed.
In an address at the opening session Of
the congress, Mrs. Cook said: there are
at stake in our national life today certain
issues which are SO far-reaching that they
are not matters alone of politics or Of par
tisanship. One of them is of the utmost
Importance to the men and women of
America, to the mothers and fathers Of
the men and women of tomorrow. The is
sue to which I refer is whether or not we
shall as individuals stand back of the en-
forcement of the Eighteenth Amendment
of the Constitution of the United States
of America"

The christian Science Monitor Announces Prohibition Series

vets in criticism of national prohibition,
accompanying them with replies by drys.
The Monitor then proposes to analyze
prohibition as it is affecting the home, the
workshop, the highway, the business world,
the school, the churches, the social welfare
institutions, the government and the indi-
vidual. In each field the emphasis will be
upon the clear facts and a logical, common
sense Interpretation of them, not upon any
appeal to prejudice, emotion or denuncia-
ton. The Monitor expects this treatment
will result in well-rounded digest of "the
why of prohibition" in which dry may
learn much about how to defend his con-
victions or wet may find reasonable ma
terial for consideration.

"Is Prohibition Worth While?" will be

Monitor beginning May 5.
The Editorial Board of the Monitor in
communicating the announcement of this

said that this series will represent prima-
rily an endeavor to approach the liquor
question in its most modern aspects from
standpoint of calm, open-minded but
searching nationality. The Monitor is will
ing to have all pertinent facts considered,
whether apparently favorable or unfavor-
able to the dry law, and to this end will in

CURRAN QUESTIONED BY LOBBY COMMITTEE
President of Leading Wet Organization Admits $4,000 Year Salary
Says $275,00o Would Cover All Salaries

An item of $32,059 listed under political
expenditures and taken from financial
statement of the Association was cited by
CaraWay.
In reply to statement of Currans that
the Association was fighting to restore to
the states their rights, Senator Walsh
Oem) Montana, called attention to the
fact that the Fifteenth and Nineteenth
Amendments also had been attacked as
violating states rights and asked why the
Association did not campaign against
them.
''The Eighteenth Amendment Is the
most outrageous" answered Curran but
added that the Fifteenth and Nineteenth
Amendments, chad no business in the
Constitution"
The investigation continued on the 18th
at which time Curran testified that more
than one million dollars would be required
for the Associations work this year.
In 1928 the Association appropriated
$4,000 for the prohibition referendum, he
said
1--WE try to give the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the TRUTH" he de-
clared, which in the opinion of the wit
ness is not true of the Anti-Saloon League

into the future and gave his forecast
of what the newspapers of that day may
be like.
Drawing on recent scientific achieve
ments as the basis for his picture, he
told the National Editorial Association
that the horoscope hints at these things:
The editor will receice his quota of
general news. general advertising, pic
lures and features by radio, in facsimile,
automatically, by means of machines.
He will set his own local advertise
ments. perhaps by methods which we
have not even guessed at"
