 Members Discuss Changes
 At the outset Of both the hoHse end senate sessions today, general legislation held the attention of the Legislators. In both chambers, how ever. members were discussing the prohibition question in private con. Nersation and ill the cloak rooms and lobbies. senators and repre- sentatlvCs could be seen here and there reading with apparent interest press reports of the most sweeping plan to dry up AmriCa in the ten years since sale of intoXicants was prohibited by constitutional man. date

amendment, said it was clear the commission had concluded after eight months of study that the problem of prohibition is not one to be solved by tinkering with en- forcement procedure" and that it was clear also that the commission believes the law as it now stands is unenforceable"
 At the headquarters of the Anti Saloon league it was said the board of directors in session at Detroit had taken the report under consid eration. Although no announcement was available 1t was predicted fav- orable reaction would be forthcom- ing later.
 Deets Pickett, research secretary of the Methodist board of temper ance, prohibition and public morals, asserted that we favor the rec ommendation1 of President Hoover as they come to us" and added he regarded the report as a start" that might serve as an introduction for further statements.
 Today, there appeared little dis position among 'Wets," as d whole to oppose the recommendations Whether this attitude would con | tinue after a more careful study of the proposed changes was a ques- tion that time alone could answer, although a number of this group privately expressed the opinion that there would be no concentrated op- position.
 For several years many wet members have advocated cXpending much larger sums of money for prohibition than have been provid- ed, contending this would be one means of showing that the statute was unenforceable. A number oi this group looked favorably upor the resolution introduced yesterday by Senator Wagner, democrat, Nc'> York, to ask President Hoover tc direct the law enforcement commis sion to inquire into the suitability of existing prohibition laws for tn, promotion of temperance"
 ln the house. the annual appro priation bill for the treasury pos office department, which carrie funds for the prohibition unit, helt a preferred place today on the leg. islative calendar, and will be taker up in few days. Usually the con. sideration of this measure has beer provocative of heated wet and dry debate and many today felt in view of the present flood tide discussion of the subject that debate over the measure would be the most intense in recent years.

CTS found woodchoppers and others who recalled having heard the plane. In this way the search was being gradually localized about Lake Amston, and Mir. Rowlcy was the one searcher who proved to be closest to the place of the crash.
 MT. RoWlcy told the Associated Press that he was searching in the woods when he came to the plane. He had gone out at s o'clock and he found the wreck at 11:30. IL was about 200 feet from the lakes edge q half mile from the highway and d mile south Of the club house. Both bodies were badly burned, so much so that he could not have identified them he said. altering an earlier re- rort that only one was burned.
 Mir Rowlcy said he made his way back 10 the village and sent word of the finding of the plane. Medical Examiner Cyrus Pendelton, after viewing the bodies, gave permission tc take them to Willimantic.
 The fire which had charred both bodies seemingly had destroyed all the clothing and most of the equip ment, the men wore. On the body of one was a watch.

Washington, Jan. 14 (UP)-Rep- resentative Oscar Dc Priest. negro congressman from Illinois, will ap- point another negro to the United States Military Academy at West Point to fill the vacancy created by the dismissal of Alonzo Parham from the academy, he announced today.
 eff I don't appoint men Of my own race to the academy. who will?' De Priest said. "I do not pro- pose to be disloyal to my own group"
 De Priest refused to comment on Parhams s failure to conform with the scholastic requirements of the academy.
 He had previously said. however, that he was satisfied that Parham had received fair treatment at the hands of West Point officers.

NEGRO DISCHARGED
 FROM WEST POINT

Continued From First Pagc) action, they were ordered honorably discharged today.
 Of the 64 discharged, 4S. includ- ing Parham, were ''plebeS'' or freshmen and the remainder were second year men. General Smith pointed out that these figures show an improvement over last year when e or 15.7 per cent of the "plebe" class were discharged. The percentage this year is 11.3.
 Before the examination papers were sent 10 Washington for ap- proval, they were marked by the class instructors, then passed upon and checked by a committee com- posed Of the professors of mathe- matics, English and French and the commandant of cadets. Next they were passed upon by the academic board composed of all professors at the academy and the superinten- dent. This board considered each case individually and made the recommendation to the war depart mCnt for final action.
 May Attempt e-Entry
 The men discharged today will have an opportunity to attempt to gain reinstatement in March if they so desire.
 At that time they will be eligible to take re-eXamination and if their standing therein is satisfac- tory. they can be returned 10 their cla sses. A number of those dis charged will remain, il was expect cd. at the academy where tutoring will be availa ble, and will take the March examinations.
 The others on the list include none of prominence on football or other athletic teams. By far the ma jority of them were deficient in only one subject.
 Parham's stay at West Point nas been an anxious one in many ways There were reports that he would be treated 10 a conspiracy of si lence" by his fellow cadets; that is that he would not be spoken 10 or recognized. But all concerned, in cluding Parham himself, deny tha' 1 anything of the kind has occurred.
 Had Room to Himself Perhaps the only difference be ! tween the life he led and that ot other cadets was that instead o | sharing a room with two other men as is the custom, he had a room tt himself. When the present "plebe' class entered the usual plan Of per. hitting cadets to choose thei roommatcs as far as possible, wa | followed. No one elected to shar, a room with Parham and he wa left with a complete room to him self. Otherwise he. lived as did al the others. He had seat at tn, table in the great mess hall, betwee, two western cadets. He partici patcd in the intra- mural sports which are compulsory. He had no yet developed flair for any par ticular sport. however.
 Parham has repeatedly cxpresse, " ptll't liidL II dHylnlnS OulCerS II the academic and tactical depart mcnts have bent backward in giv ing me a square deal"
 He attended football games dur ing the fall with the cadet corp and engaged with the corps in al similar extra a-curricular activities.

 Shortly after the drone of their motor had faded away, however, the fog came in from the sea thicker than ever, reducing visibility to but a few feet and bringing fears for their safe return.

average golfer OF today doesn't
know a thing about the gutta

misses any casual mention Of
1t with the suspicion that some
body is slipping into his golf
dotage, the fact is that the
new, larger, lighter golf ball is
going to put YOU back just
about as near to the old gutta
percha era as modern-day golf
ball makers can put you, for
this new bau is going to be
something q good deal like a
very lively gutta percha model
OF 1900. The reason the
guilty" bah played so well was
because it behaved itself so well
on second shots and around
the greenland for the same
reason you win like the new
ball.
1t seems paradoxical to cite
that a large and lighter golf
ball than the present ball would
speed up golf, but that is what
the new bali will do because it
will promote holiness of play
and thus increases skill in sec
ond shots and play around the
green. It is in the short game
where the average golfer runs
up his extra strokes.
