 Prohibition Abuses Hidden
CALLS REPORT SAD AFFAIR
speaker Calls Upon Hoover to h. Ncstioatc Merits of Law Rather Than Invent New Methods of Try ing to Make It Work.

Ing 10 hal>c II Npfk.
 Washington, Feb. tP'-rrcsidcnt Hoover and his law enforcement commission were called upon in the senate today by senator Wagner. democrat, New York. to ''uncoveI tho real abuses Of prohibition and 10 propose remedies for their correc- tion."
 In the first speech in the senate on the preliminary report Of the commission. the New York senator described it as disappointing" as sailed severely some of it's rccom- mendations. and concluded that Mr. Hoovcr's original announcement for a study Of prohibition started out rich in hopes, but ended in sad neg lcct."
 Transfer Plan Played
 senator Wagner. a Wet. was q member Of the New York state iU- dietary before entering the senate and he directed particular emphasis tU an attack upon the commission s proposal to transfer trial Of petty crimes to United States commission CTS. He listed ten objections to this.
 In demanding that the law en- forccment commission go directly In- to the merits of the prohibition law and the question of amending it. he withdrew his resolution proposing = ,r'- ,asf ,1 n order this course.
 ''So far the commission has appar- cntly attempted 10 cure the difficult ties of prohibition, not by looking to the law itselt" he told the senate, but by eliminating as far as possible ! the human agencies necessary i'll the ] enforcement of the law. With all due
 respect. I say the commission IS on , the wrong track
 ! Wagner said hc wanted the in- vcsticativc work of the commission rcdircctcd into important channels.
 Wants Report on Amendments
