WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-Wonen
snti-prohibitionists had their day in
a noisy way at the house judiciary

their enthusiasm so noiSily.
Mrs. Mary T Norton, Democratic
congreSSwOman from New Jersey,
who argued for her referendum
resolution. and Mrs. Charles H.
Sabin. former Republican national
committee woman from New York,
drew such noisy applause that one
committee member. Representative
Yates rep. III, threatened to
withdraw in protest if the hearings
were allowed to degenerate into

Supported by Others
Mrs. Norton's resolution, which
she argued was constitutional
despite objections Of constitutional
lawyers, was supported by two
other New York women, Miss NJ.
Louise Gross of the National
Woman's Moderation League, and
Mrs David H. Morton of the
Women's committee for repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment.
Mrs. Sabin based her argument on
the contention that many women,
who formerly supported prohibition
because they thought 1t would pre-
vent drunkenness, have changed
their opinion.
AS proof of this, she said $4,000

form the anti-prohibition Organiza-
ton.
Joining Rapidly
Women she said, thought that
prohibition could be made as strong
as the Constitution, but they found
that it made the Constitution as
weak as prohibition.
Mrs. Norton challenged drys to
allow a referendum on the question.
why should members of con-
gress or members of the legislatures
of various states, who are only serV-
ants of the people. withhold from
them the right TO decide this ques-
ton for themselves" she asked.
One man appeared at the morn
ing session. former Senator William
Cabell Bruce Dem.. Md, who told
the committee it has not yet started
TO raise the lid of the stink pot
that is prohibition"
Bruce recently advocated a ma
tional wet convention to draft
measure for modification of the pro-
hibition laws.

SEES Ill SON

Preceding his team by 80 hours,
Walter johnson, Washington man.
ager, arrived in Washington at
z o'clock this morning from

Georgetown University Hospital
where his son, Walter, jr., is re-
covering from a broken leg, suS-
tanned three weeks ago when he
was the victim Of an automobile
accident near his home in Beth
esda, Md.
Leaving the hospital, Walter,
senior. declared his son Is doing
nicely and expects to be home
within a week or 10 days. There.
after, the Washington pilot went
to Alta Vista to greet the re-
mainder Of his family and to in
spect the farm and stock from
which he has been absent since
February IS.
johnson was his usual modest
self with respect to making pre-
dictionS for his team during the
coming season. He believed the
team Is better than sixth and
seventh where it is being rated by
the handicappers, but as to it
being one. two, three, johnson
was not so sure.
He was greatly impressed with
the condition in which Goose Cos.
lin reported to Chattanooga and
declared GooSe's splendid spring
shape is reflected in his daily
work with the team.
Walter would not dignity re-
ports Of o rift with Goslin with
any discussion Of the matter. He
planned an afternoon visit back
to the hospital to see Walter, jr.,
and then q trip to the bah park
to discuss the opening next Mon
day with Secretary Eddie Eynon.
