DRY LAW DISCUSSED.
FROM BOTH ANGLES.
Vets and Drys Making 0pti-
miStic Predictions for
Year 1880.
b the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
Spokesman for organizations sponsor
Ing and opp sing the prohibition laws
have entered the current controversy
with statements in which both draw
encouragement from the events of 1929
and make optimistic predictions for
1880.
F. Scott Mcbride of the Anti-Sa' con
League found a most hopeful sign" in
the discussion of the last fortnight in
that Legislative officers, as well as en-
forcement administration officials, in
Guiding President Hoover. are not side
stepping their responsibility in connec-
ton with the enforcement of the law"
Wet Advocates Views.
For the Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment, Henry H. Curran,
Its president, said that while "dYy"
spokesman 10 years ago predicted that
prohlb1tlon would reduce crime by so
per cent, the actual result had been
such that "the President of the United
states only few months ago consider
ed the crime situation so grave that he
told assembled publishers of the AsSo-
ctated Press that the dominant issue
before the people was law enforcement
and law observance"
Neither Mcbride nor Curran showed
any disposition to become parties to the
controversy that has arisen in official
washington. Curran did not mention
1t; but Mcbride said:
The present controversy is not being
carried on by the league or any Of the
opposing organization but by various
public officials. This has been the OBJ
Jective OF the league since the enact
ment OF the eighteenth amendment, and
VIII bring the liquor question up for
general consideration"
Illinois Report Quoted.
Curran quoted a report o' the H.
no1s Association for Criminal Justice as
saying That prohibition was a pivot
about which thuggery and racketeering
revolve because Of the enormous rev.
enue derived from traffic In Illicit
liquor. He asserted that the remedy
lay In repeating or amending the
eighteenth amendment, In such q way
that the States may frame their own
liquor laws In accordance with local
conditions
Meanwhile, a lull had develoned in
the bitter exchange of Statements which
has characterized the recent DISPUTE.
and interest continued in the letter on
prohibition which Senator Borah. Re-
publican, Idaho, sent to President
Hoover after denouncing from TOP to
bottom" the personnel Of Government
enforcement agencies.
Rumor Not Confirmed.
A report that Mr.. Hoover had written
o reply to the Idaho Senator could not
be confirmed either at the White House
or at Borah's Office and at the same
time the contents of Borah's letter were
. carefully guarded secret.
Senator Brookhart, Republican, Iowa.
has said that when Congress recon.
venes he intends to carry the prohibi-
ton question to the floor of the Senate,
which may precipitate a general dis
cussion there. Brookhart yesterday is
sued reiterated demand for the resie-
nation of Secretary Mellon, who, as
head of the Treasury, is in charge of
the enforcement agencies in that de-
partInent. A similar demand was made
last week by Senator Norris, Republic
can. Nebraska.
