PROHIBITION
 TO BE ISSUE
 '32 CAMP A|CN
Object of Opponents and Some Supporters lndi-
 cated-Fess to Stick

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13.- The career of Prohibition will come to a climax in national politics in the 1892 elections.
 This, appears to be the objective of both its opponents and some supporters, either as an issue be- tween parties in the Presidential election or in the form of a popu- lar referendum.
 The showdown has been advocat- ed by statements made by both Vets and Drys in Congress.
 It has developed that some of the Presidents Law Enforcement Com mission want a popular expression on the dry law after 10 years trial.
 Senator Simeon D. Fess today de- nied publishing statements he will resign as the result of his dry statements. He said Prohibition as an issue will split the Republican Party.
 Representative Beedy of Maine, and Britten of Illinois, the former a Dry and the latter Wet, have advocated making the dry law an issue. Former Senator Wadsworth, New York, Wet, has also suggested the same stand.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13.- With A state legislatures conven- ing early next year, the federal government will campaign for uni fled air laws as an aid to aviation
 A conference called by Secretary of Commerce Lamont will be held December 16-17 in Washington be- tween representative of the gov ernors of all the states and the aeronautics branch of the depart ment of commerce.
 The federal government will pre- sent it's case against overlapping Legislation as potential danger to civil aviation and seek for uniform ity and simplification of federal state, and municipal air laws, regu- lations, and practices.
 Discussions will be based on five subjects. They are: A uniform basic regulatory state air law; adoption of federal air traffic rules by the i states for purposes of local enforce ment; methods of local enforce ment; state enabling acts for air. port acquisition and control; and importance of uniform airport field rules.
 The outcome sought is an agree ment on the most advantageous di- vision of powers or control between the states and federal authorities.
 Included in the conference, to present the opinions of those out side governmental officialdom, will be delegates of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, represent ing the aircraft industry, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the National aeronautic association. Acceptance of federal licenses for airmen is one of the methods Of the department of commerce to do away with duplication of effort in the various states.
 At present 20 states require fed eral licenses for all aircraft and airmen. Nine states require federal licenses for those engaged in con- mercial flying and seven require either state or federal license. Six states require state licenses only. The remaining six have no laws covering licensing.

PassiOord Admits
 Residents to Homes On One Chicago St.

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 13.-It may be hard to believe, but As- tor Street, about half a mile long, one of Chicago's streets, is said to be without crime, It has its own police force main- tained at the expense of the wealthy residents. These resi- dents have provided regulations SO strict that they have given the officers a password and the residents must give this pass word before they can get into their own houses.
 Each month the password is changed and just Hello, Off, cer, hOw's everything" won't work.
 A very rich man found this out when he returned with a four days growth of beard. He gave the wrong password, which had been changed while he was absent, and he was not getting into his own house until his own butler happened to step outside, recognize him and con- ~vinced the officer the bearded man was OK.

RED CROSS DAY
 CELEBRATED BY
 LOCAL CHAMBER
HoIbrook and B e hrend S Tell Chamber of Services
 Rendered by Chapter

The Juneau Chapter of the Amer ican Red Cross and the national organization in which it holds mem bership is the best possible insur- ance against community disasters, declared Wellman Holbrook, Gen. eral Roll Call Chairman, in a highly interesting and informative talk to the Chamber of Commerce today. It was Red Cross Day with the Chamber which pledged its support to the drive.
 %. The success which has marked the career of the local chapter, said B. M Behrends. for many years its chairman, is largely due to the fact that it doesn't talk much but, elim- mating red tape from it's procedure, it attends to the needs as they arise without unnecessary fuss or delay.
 Predicts Success
 MT. Behrends paid a warm tri- bute to fellow officers of the Chapter, including Allen Shattuck, R. E. Robertson and M. H. Sides. q am sure that MT. Holbrook' s drive will be successful and hope you all will help him. he added.
 "As a body, I am sure the Cham Der of Commerce will subscribe to the Red Cross Roll Call one hun dred per cent" President E. M. Goddard responded.
 The Juneau Chapter had an en- rollment of 1,O61 members during the year just ended. Its quota for the current Roll Call is set at 1900, MT. Holbrook said, explaining the different types of membership from each of which the national. organl- zation receives 50 cents, the balance remaining in the treasury Of the local chapter.
 Recites Organization History
 MT. Holbrook recounted the ori- gin of the Red Cross and the his- tory of its growth from 1862 to date. He reviewed it's various ac- tivities, told of it's different kinds of service, and particularly dwelt upon the work done by the Juneau Chapter.
 The American Red Cross which has its counterparts in 59 nations throughout the world, has senior membership of 4,3o9.666 and 6,93o,- 849 junior members.

 NEXT CONGRESS
Administration Hopes fo r Democratic Aid, Emer-
 gency Legislation

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13- The Administration is striving tc avert a special session of the next Congress by expediting legislation at the December session.
 President Hoover took hold today initiating conferences with Repubh- can leaders in the Senate and House.
 The President has also written to Senator Robinson, Democratic lead CT, now out of the city. It is not known what or whether Robinson replied.
 Hope of inter party cooperation for the short term has been current since seven prominent Democrats, including Senator Robinson, said the Democratic Party would not use their election victory for ob- structive purposes.
 What effect the pledge will have on the approaching session is un- known.
 Senator Glass, Democrat of Vir- ginia, characterized the pledge as an incomprehensible apology for the Democratic victory.
 The first objective of the Decem- Der session is the passage of the unemployment measures including bills for expansion of public works construction and speeded develop ment of the inland waterways. and appropriations for seed loans to drought sufferers.
 The House Appropriation Com mittee hopes to have three of the nine appropriation measures passed by the Senate before the holidays.
