WASHINGTON. Feb 6.-Presi- dent Hoover and his Law Enforce ment Commission has been called upon in the Senate by Senator Robert F, Wagner, Democrat of New York, to uncover real abuses of Prohibition and propose reme- dies for their correction"
 In his first speech in the Senate. made on the preliminary report of the Law Enforcement Commission, which Senator Wagner described as disappointing, he assailed severe ly some of the recommendations and concluded with President Hoov- CTS original pronouncement that the study of Prohibition had start ed. It was rich in hopes but 1t ended in bad neglect" said Senator Wagner.
 Senator Wagner directed particu- lar emphasis of his attack upon the Law Enforcement CommissionA proposal to transfer trial of petts crimes to United States Commist sioners, listing 10 objections.
 eSo far, the Law Enforcement Commission apparently attempted to cure the difficulties of Prohibit tion, not by looking at the law itself but by eliminating all human considerations" Senator Wagner ] told the Senate.

NO TRACE OF LOST SON AND

Disappearance of Year Ago Brings No Results to
 Searching Father

LOS ANGELES, Feb. D. = R. C.. Hyde, who came here today after minute search of the north rim of the Grand Canyon, said that he had found no trace of his son, Glenn Hyde, who with his bride, Mrs. Bessie Haley Hyde, disappeared a year ago while attempting to shoot the rapids of the Colorado River in flat bottomed scow on their honeymoon.
 Hyde and his daughter, Jeanne Hyde, left their home in Hansen, Idaho, early in December and were joined by William Haley father of the missing woman in the search of Ia 31-mile strip of the canyon near the rapids in which the honeymoon 'scow was found wrecked.
 we made only about two miles a day" Hyde said We found no traces of Glenn and the girl The rapids upon which their scow was wrecked were not particularly dan gerous. They had crossed many worse, apparently in reaching that part of the canyon"

FAVOR SPECIAL TESTS
 FOR CHUTE JUMPERS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. G. Comprehensive physical and mental tests hereafter may be required of men who make practice parachute jumps at army air fields here.
 Serg. Erwin H. Nichols, parachute expert at Brooks field, has an- nounced that special examinations may be given as the result of two deaths here when men failed to pull the rip cord after stepping off"
 Such accidents, Sergeant Nichols believes, may tend to disprove the theories long held by army para chute men-that it is virtually im- possible for a person to fail to pull the cord after leaving a plane.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-02-06

T had supervised the jumping of 1,05l men and never had a fatal- ity until the other day" he said. We have concluded that even if a mar were too dazed to know what he was doing after jumping, he would involuntarily pull the cord. It is placed over the heart, the most natural place about mans body for him to clutch, even if he is unconscious or frightened"
 Aviation medical experts hold that failure to pull the rip cord may re- suit from several causes. A jump CT may lose consciousness because of his rapid descent. he may faint from fright, or he may be unable to find his rip cord after leaving the plane.
