SHEPPARD
Antl-ProhlbltIon Drive Met
With Move to SidetraCk All
Reference to Law lust Now

Congress is as dry as ever;
there is still an overwhelming
majority In both branches In
favor Of prohibition. There Is
no chance for modification OF
the, YOIstead Act"
This, pronouncement by Senator
Sheppard CD of Texas, father
Of the prohibition amendment,
was the answer today to the new
wet drive for modification to per
NIT the manufacture and sale OF
four percent beer and wine. Sen
ator Bingham (R0 OF Connects
cut. introduced a Senate Dill,
calling forl alcoholic content OF
4 per cent in beer and wine.
Sidetrack Favored
Administration leaders, fearful
of ulunging Congress into a tur-
buIent wet and dry war, which
might defeat other legislation,
will seek to sidetrack all modifi-
cation proposals. Their plan will
be to limit prohibition activities
to debate until after the Wicker
sham enforcement commission
files its report.
Senator Bingham said he would
press for action on his bill. He
hoped to gain consent Of the
Senate Committee on Manufac-
lures for public hearings on his
measure. It was significant that
Senator Bingham's bill was sent
to this committee, since Senator
LaFollette, jr. (R.) of Wisconsin,
a wet, is chairman of 1t. The
Judiciary Committee, to which
modification measures are usually
sent, is dry, with the dry Senator
Norris (R) of Nebraska, as its
chairman.
Complain of Silence
The complaints of wet Repub-
icans and Democrats alike
against President Hoover's silence
on prohibition in his message to
Congress were met by smiles
from Administration leaders. It
was explained privately the Presi-
dent was awaiting the Wicker
sham report and would have
nothing to say until he acted on
that report.
Senator Walsh CD of Massa
chusetts, a wet, went so far as
to say the country need expect
mo decisive pronouneement from
the White House with respect to
prohibition during Mr.. Hoover's
term as President" On the other
hand, the drys were gratified at
the Presidents silence.

HOOVER 'SFUNDS
PLAN OPPOSED

While both Democratic and Re
publican leaders in Congress were
ready and anxious today to ap
propriate huge sums for the re
lief of unemployment situation
there were indications that q
strong effort will be made to
have Congress itself retain con.
troll of the expenditure, and not
a Cabinet committee, as proposed
by President Hoover in his an
nual message yesterday.
Mr.. Hooyer's proposal was that
Congress appropriate between
500, 900 900 and 0,000, 900 fol
public works during the next sis
months, the sum to be expended
at the direction Of committee
of his Cabinet.
Democratic leaders, while an
xious to make the money imme
diately available, favor the ex
penditure under the control oi
Congress under specific appro
priation instead of at the direc
ton of the Cabinet committee
In this they are supported to q
considerable extent by Repub
lican leaders.
The Republicans confessed to
some embarrassment In meeting
Mr.. Hoover's plan because in the
Wilson administration they op
posed the grants of large
amounts of money to be spent
at the direction of the admin
istration rather than by Congress
itself,

Of SEA PERIL

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 3 dN.S0.
Mrs. J. NJ. Keith Miller. Australian
woman flier, and her business
associate, Capt. w. N. Lancaster,
were expected here today with

came lost Friday.
A second expedition left Miami
early today.

of the hackers of the Pittsburgh
Havana round-trip flight, took
off in a flying boat. An aviation
mechanic also was a passenger.
The party carried gasoline and
other supplies. Mrs. Keith-Mil-
ler's plane landed in the bush
on the eastern coast Of Andres
Island. Because Of its light
weight-about 900 pounds little
difficulty is expected in removing
it to the beach. where a take-off
may be made at low tide.
Her Feet Bruised
Stone bruises on her feet, iI1-
Cured in the 16-rnile hike to
Mango Bay, and several scratches
were tlIc only injuries suffered
by Mrs. Keith Miller In the forced
landing, Liggett said. The plane
was not damaged.
Liggett maie public a state
ment sent here by the woman
flier. She said:
81 am most unhappy about
myself, and as an experienced
fIier I feel ashamed to think
failed to reach my objective.
The kindness of the natives Of
Andres an0 the people of ne
Bahamas will ever be happy
memory"
Mrs. Keith-Miller branded as
"deSpicable" any persons who
might suggest that she had
flown from her course as a pub
licity stunt. She said:
Contrary to reports, / took
off with a favorable weather
report and flew on the CON-
pass course which was given
me. At the end Of an hour q
gale from the west carried me
far to the east. Storm clouds
arose.

BUS LINES BILL

Parker -Couzens Measure Will
Place interstate Traffic in
Hands Of |. c. C. Of the U. S.

Opposition to enactment of the
Parker Couzens bill which would
place interstate service bus lines
under control of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, dwindled
today when Senator Din CD OF
Washington. said he would not
filibuster. other Senators 'ndi-
Gated a disposition to permit The
committee bill to pass the Senate
and have the differences between
he House and Senate settled in
conference.
Point Opposed
Din and q group Of insurgents
oppose a clause in the bill, which
would require a certificate Of pub
lie convenience and necessity, to
be issude by the Interstate Com.
merce Commission. for every bus
line engaged in interstate trans
portation. Dill said:
"T think II Is q bad proposf-
ton, as It would give the lines
already established, q virtual
monopoly for two or three
years at least, until the Inter
state Commerce Commission
could get around to acting on
applications for certificates.
Amendments Due
Senator Pittman Cd Of Ne
vatia, has some amendments he
may present which may extend
the debate. but Senator Couzens
(R.) Of Michigan. chairman OF
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee, which reported the
bill last session, expects favorable
action within a week.
The bill is the unfinished busi-
ness of the Senate. and Couzens
said If opposition to the certifi.

ought to pass before the end OF

A comprehensive study Of the
liquor problem and cooperation
of churches to alleviate unemploy.
ment were the principal subjects
of discussion today at the second
days session of the executive
committee Of the Federal Council
of Churches meeting at New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Proposes the Survey
DR.. B. s. Winchester, educa-
tional secretary of the Federal
Council, suggested that study
Of the liquor problem be con.
Quoted by the churches upon a
non-partisan basis.
He recommended that the
young people particularly be
asked to study effects Of alcohol
upon the human body, mental
activity, industrial productivity
and social relations in home and
family life.
Unbiased Attitude
He said:
1--WE should make this study
with an unbiased attitude. First
we must take into account the
conditions which gave rise to
prohibition. Then the solution
which we face today and the
made toward its solution. We
must study why the liquor prob
lem has become such an issue
and what its effects are from a
commercial angle.
'"The other phase we must
study are personal liberty Of the
people, how prohibition affects
citizenship, and just what the
churches should do about the
matter"

BY Elsie Robinson

Novels-remember how you
devoured them when you were
a youngSter? What fears and
furies, thrills and ecstasies you
passed through in three hun
dred pages; what a sigh of re-
lief you gave when the plot
was finished and everything
came out right!
. Novels - unconsciouSly they
shaped your whole attitude to-
ward life. For. Of course, this
was the way life would be.
Built around a plot. Filled with
conflicts. But sooner or later,
coming to a grand crisis and
solution.
And so you went out to find
your story. But-you haven't
found it yet, have you? Al
ways you feel that you're just
on the verge of it. Pretty soon
the plot will begin. Half a
dozen times you thought it had
begun. When you fell in love
with Edith-or Ed-you thought
that life was getting some
where at last. When you fl
nally managed to take that
trip to Europe. or buy that
new car. or get that new con-
tract. then again you thought
that things were shaping up.
But they weren't. After it
was done-after the first thrills
were over-there was the same
old secret hunger and unrest
the. same old feeling that
the show hadn't started.
And you're getting discour-
aged. Five years ago, or 10, you
were .rarin' to CO.. And now
what are you doing? Just mark
ing time. Going places you
don't want to go. Doing things
you don't want to do. Fussing
over a thousand trifles in which
you haven't a particle Of inter.
est. Fumbling around, wonder
ing when you'll "begin to live"
You've begun already. This
rs life. You're in it now. You
are in it as much as you'll ever
be in it. Things will never
shape up" Life has no plots.
It does not arrange itself in pat
terms nor arrive at solutions.
Life just goes on and on, inter
minable as a tide.
Life is a tide-a vague, vast,
cropping tide, endlessly rising,
endlessly falling, fumbling its
way through the fog to some
far Shrouded shore. You are
part Of that tide. You will al
ways be part of a story, but you
will never know what the story
is all about
That is life. You can't change
it. And it's UP to you whether
1t makes a mess Of you-or a
man If you're going to get
mad at life because it won't
shape up into a story, get mad
