have to be thrown out of work be
cause funds to pay them were lack

The wild flight of six youths from
motorcycle Officers who sought to
warn them of bad highway curves,
ended in death for five of the boys
and probable fatal injuries for the
other.
A small automobile, with three
youths clinging to the running
boards, carried them over so foot
embankment when they were unable
to negotiate cure in a winding can

The dead are: Melvin Letter,
II; William Brown, IS; Arthur Hub
bard, II; and his brother, James,

Charles Caldwell, 10, is near death
in hospital.
Two officers from whom the boys
fled, said they noticed the automo-
bile travelling fairly fast down the
canyon. When they speeded up to
overtake the youths and warn them
of bad curves, the car went faster.
Excess weight of the boys on the
running boards is believed to have
overbalanced the machine on the
curve.

VETS PROPOSE
UNITED FRONT
TO CHANGE LAW
Plan Support For Pro-
posed Modification Pro-
gram
BY PAUL R. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. W.H-A
proposed call for national conven-
ton of vets to unite behind a single
prohibition modification program
was being discussed today by Off
Gals Of the National Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
while congress continued to debate
the issue.
The suggestion for the convention
was made by former Senator Will
liam Campbell Bruce, Maryland
Democrat, who thought such
course necessary in order to set up
Il militant organization with sin
gle object-repeal or modification
of the Nolstead Act, the Canadian
liquor dispensary system, state op-
ton or the manufacture OF bee:s
and wines.
The association is understood to
be sounding out the sentiment of its
officials and hackers on a PROPOSE
ton which came from one of its
most influential friends. The idea
would be to gather delegates from
every state who are in sympathy
with the purposes of the convention
and have them work out platform
upon which the vets would stand
against the drys as a unit. 1T also
oontemplates an end of the present
disorganiZed state of the vets both
in and out Of congress.
A further step toward centrallza-
tion of wet efforts was taken today
when the wet bloc of the house met
to decide what witnesses would be
called for the repeal hearings to be
opened February -. The members
of the group are getting behind the
Dyer 2.75 per cent beer bill but
many of them also are advocating
repeal of the 18th amendment or
the Nolstead Act, or both.
Debate To Spread
Meanwhile there is prospect of
amplification rather than abatement
of congressional debate. Chairman
Williamson, of the house expendi
lures committee, plans to report to-
day and bring up Thursday or Fri
day his bill carrying out the first
Wickersham recommendation for
transfer of enforcement from the
treasury to the justice department.
This will open the debate to all
without the stringent time restrict
ions which have been in force thus
far. The three wet members of the
committee will file a minority re-
port.
Developments also are anticipat-
ed in the controversy between Sen
ator Borah of Idaho and Prohibition
Commissioner Doran over Borah's
demand for the truth about private
charges against Prohibition Admin.
istrator Herbert of the Idaho. Mon,
