HOOVER BOARD
FACING DRY
BATTLE

Harassed by "drys" and anti
prohibitionists alike, the Wicker
sham commission appeared peril
ously close to an inglorious finish
yesterday.
After a years solid work OF in
vestigating other phases Of law
observance and enforcement, the
commission faced a substantial
drive in Congress to limit its 1u-
ture activities to prohibition only.
Should the, drive succeed, IL
would render, meaningless the
greater part of the commission s
work and be interpreted as di-
rect slap at President Hooyer's
dry law policy.
Appropriation Limit
The issue will be thrashed out
this week in the Senate when &C
ton is taken on the recommends
ton of an appropriations Subcom-
mittee to place limit Of $4,000
on funds to continue the life OF
the commission. This sum would
be restricted to an investigation
of prohibition.
In opposing the $4,000 limit
administration leaders will make
another valiant attempt to in
crease the appropriation to $3.50,
900, with authority for the com
mission to continue its genera
law enforcement studies.
Behind the move to limit th'
commissions funds to $4,000 is
a general dissatisfaction with th'
apparently negative consideration
which it has given to the DIR.
law problem.
DiScOrd Evident
In some quarters it is reliabl.

YOUNG 'HOUD|N|'
BREAKS JAIL

BOSTON, June % G.N.S0
Statewide search was under way
today for Victor Stanwhite, IT.
year-old "Houdini," who escaped
from city prison Sunday while a
police officer and two sergeantS
slept at their posts.
Stanwhite, with a record as a
gunman, was the first person, ex-
cept the late Harry .Houdini, who
gave an exhibition of how it
could be done, ever to escape
from city prison. The escape Of
young Stanwhite was more spec
tacular than that of the magi-
clan.
The youth, arrested Saturday
after he was alleged to have shot
pawnbroker, was placed in a
straightjacket in padded cell
in city prison. He had attempted
to hang himself in police sta
ton cell.
Stanwhite got out of the
straightjacket, reached through
the bars of the cell and removed
the keys from the sleeping police
mans pocket, left the straight
jacket at the officers feet and
departed.
Using stolen keys, he opened
the prison office, found clothes,
put them on, and walked through
the corridor to freedom.

WAGNER LABOR
BILLS URGED
IN HOUSE

With congressional leaders at
tempting to bring the present
session to a close, determined
effort was under way in the
House today to force action on
the Wagner unemployment bills,
with Representative LaGuardia
(R.) of New York, urging support.
Two of the three bills offered
by Senator Wagner and passed
by the Senate are out of the
House Judiciary Committee and
pending before the House Rules
Committee.
LaGuardia, whose minority re-
port on file today, charged the
House Judiciary Committee with
'emasculating the public works
bill by eliminating necessary sec
tions."
Hoover Leaders Hostile
Thus far House Administration
leaders have looked upon the
measures with a cold eye, but
there were indications they might
be brought to a vote as result
of insistent clamor.
Although the fight has been
conducted on a nonpartiSan basis,
Democratic leaders have indicated
they would charge Republicans
with failure to recognize the un-
employment situation in the pres
ent session. if they fail OF action.
The most important of the two
measures sets up $15O,OOO, ,OOO
Federal fund to be used in times
of unemployment for public
works.
A board also is set up to de-
termihe when an emergency
exists, or the country is facing a
cycle of tagging business.
Provides for Statistics
A second measure provides an
elaborate system of gathering
statistics on unemployment. 1t
is designed to end the contro-
versy which has ragged in Con-
gress for the last two years over
the number of unemployed, eStl'
mated from 100000 to 5000 900.
Senator Wagner has charged
the White House with using its
influence to hold up the meas
ures, and has enlisted the sup
port of a bipartisan progressive
group in the House.
A third bill Wagner regards as
most important was referred to a
judiciary subcommittee, headed
by Representative Dyer (Ro OF
Missouri, which will meet Tues
day to consider the bill, estab-
fishes a system of Federal-State
free employment exchanges.
Because of the opposition OF
private employment agencies and
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, the bill is not likely to
be reported.
Newton InterpOses
Belief that President Hoover
has taken a personal hand in the
fight over the bills was expressed
when it became known that Wal
ter Newton, White House sec
retary. consulted with members
of the House Judiciary Committee
and suggested changes in the
Public Works bill which was re-
ported.
Newton is said to have told the
committee that portion OF the
Public Works bill was duplicated
in the Employment Statistics bill.
which came from apother COM
rnittee. The bill was changed as
q result.
