HUSTON FORCES
SHOWDOWN
ON FOES
Calls Meeting Of G. 0. P.
Leaders to Consider Policies
for Congressional Campaign
BY GEORGE E. DURNO

Claucius H. Huston has forced
a showdown on the question Of
his status as chairman OF the Re
publican National Committee.
His call for a meeting Of the Of
ficers of the committee and the
chairmen of the Senatorial and
Congressional campaign commit
tees on July to discuss matters
of importance concerning the
forthcoming campaign" was, 1t is
believed by observers today, a chal-
lenge to those who have been de-
manding his resignation.
Huston to Stand Pat
That the challenge will be ac-
cepted is fully expected. Soon
after the call for the meeting was
issued, responsible leaders of the
Republican party here were lay
ing plans to GUST Huston should
he fail to retire voluntarily week
from Monday.
The strategy Of the chairman.
who has been under fire ever since
the Senate lobby committee delved
into his Muscle Shoals lobbying
activiti- = and his stock market ma
nipulation, is believed to be the
bold SummonSing Of the commit
tee officers into conference to show
them he has every intention of
directing the coming Congress
sional campaign-unless President
Hoover, the man who appointed
him, personally asks for his reSig-
nation.
Hand Must Be Forced
It Is known that he has specific
matters of party policy to lay be-
fore the July z meeting for "coun-
sci and advice" Most observers
anticipate he will confine himself
to such matters and say nothing
about his own case unless forced.

Ban on SensatiOnalism
While no official statement has
been forthcoming, it was the
opinion that Attorney General
Mitchell would order his subor.
dinate to eliminate senSationaliSm
from enforcement as far as
possible.
While the Government has no
hope Of accomplishing the i'm
possible-that is driving prohibi.
ton off the front pageS-an ef-
fort probably will be made in
that direction.
Col. Amos w. w. Woodcock,
the new director of prohibition,
probably will give definite in
structions to the dry forces that
firearms shall be used only in
emergency cases. Prohibition
killings-aSsailed by the vets as

caused the Treasury more trouble
and annoyance in the last two
years than any other feature Of
administering the law.
Shy of Criticism
There were more fatal shootingS
by Customs and Coast Guard
agents than by the Prohibition Bu-
reau. proper. the records show.
However, the Department of JUS
tice Is anxious to avoid this criti-
cism of enforcement.
In enforcing the national prohi-
bition act agents in the Depart.
ment Of Justice will get specific
| instructions to remain strictly
within the law themselves. This
would apply to such matters as
proper obtaining and use of search
warrants, avoidance Of raids with
out warrants. and other details of
that character.
