URGES RETAINING
 PROHIBITION AS IS
". (. I. U. Head Raps Govern
 ment Control Of Liquor

Chautauqua, N. Y. July p UP) In an address recounting the failure of government contror' sys- tems, Mrs Ella A. Boole. president Of the w, C. T. L., appealed to the nation yesterday to hold fast to ab- solute prohibition as the only means of doing away with the liquor traf- tiC.
 In the course of her speech, Mrs. Boole asserted that modification was being sought by a noisy mi nority,' characterized Dwight W. Morrow of New Jersey as "over- riding the platform of his party" and declared that the recent Liter ary Digest poll was not representa- tive of the true thought of the coun- try,
 The same classes who opposed prohibition every step of the way shc said, "are responsible for the agitation-the outlaWed liquor traf- fc: the moderate drinkers; society leaders who count the false stimu- latlon of alcohol essential to a good time; a wet press which magnifies every violation of law as an item of news; headline writers who misrep- resent the subject matter; motion pictures which continue to depict social drinking as an essential fac tor in American life"
 Hoover Election "Victory'
 The election of Herbert Hoover was a distinct victory over the op- ponents of government control. Gov ernor Smith overrode the platform of his party just as Dwight Nor row is overriding the platform on which President Hoover was elected and his policy Of law enforcement. '
 Mrs. Boole attacked the accuracy of the Literary Digest poll on the grounds that out of 2Q,000,000 bal lots sent out. only 5,ooo,000 were re- turned

KENWORTHY ASKS APPROPRIATION CUT
Labor Delegate Suggests Change
 in Naval Costs

London, July 22 UP)-Com- mander J. M. Kenworthy, labor, moved a technical reduction of 100 pounds. in the house of commons yesterday in the governments ap- propriation of 6,2S0,50O pounds of shipbuilding repair and mainte- nance.
 Assailing the appropriation as eX- cessive, kenworthy said:
 Britain can no longer rely on naval defense for security because we are no longer an island. Even if the conquest of the air had not taken place, the advent of the sub marine would have shown our ex- treme vulnerability. Instead of building ships. we would be better advised if We devoted our efforts to persuade all parties to keep peace by agreement through the policy which the Kellogg pact laid down"
 Kenworthy was proceeding to air his views on the responsibility of the labor department towards ma val questions when A. V. Alexander, first lord of the admiralty, interpos- ed and asked if kenworthy wished to prevent ratification of the Lon don naval treaty by making mis- statements.
 T want to see the treaty ratified" kenworthy replied. and another conference called as soon as possi- ble to prevent an increase in our tonnage and an imminent increase in American shipbuilding. 1 do not mind if the treaty is thrown out by other countries. l think it is of no use whatever"

TREASURES ARE BURIED
BENEATH MANHATTAN

NEW YORK, (N.AN.A).-A detail
map of the Manhattan that lies below
the street level, down to 100 feet from
the surface, would be interesting. AS
the city builds into the sky 1t also
digs down into the earth. Wires, pipes,
power plants and vast material stores
are down there. Along Wall street.
almost below the paving where men
walk, are rich treasure islands in
vaults.
Two floors underground are the new
vaults of the Bank of Manhattan that
now lifts higher than any other build
ing, as seen from New York Harbor.
These vaults of reinforced concrete
contain 100000 pounds of steel. One
block away, at No. l Wall street, the
new Irving Trust Co. Building rises
so stories into the air and vaults 42xl00
feet will fill five stories under ground.
Because of an inflow of water it has
been necessary to construct them in
caissons The walls are six and one
half feet thick.
All of the new vaults are guarded by
immense doors of steel. Wires, passing
everywhere through walls and about
doors, give instant warning, and almost
at touch. The doors contain chem
ical platS. When subjected to heat they
give of thick smoke and gas that
penetrateS any mask.
Tremendous amounts will be kept in
these vaults. Even now the Federal

the street, hold 5000, 900 900.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
AFTER WEAK START
Food Shares and Specialties
Featured, but Selling Is
Continued.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, May 21.--The stock
market again found itself at a fork in
the road today and was unable to de-
eide which way to turn. Speculation
and food shares, made some headway
for time, but was hampered by
another spell of speculative apathy. and
the weekly steel trade reviews, pub
lished early in the afternoon, were
rather disheartening.
The first railway operating income
reports to appear for April have pro-
vicied little encouragement. The freight
car loadings figures for the second week
cline of nearly 5000 cars from the
previous week. when an upturn OF about
sc, 900 was shown, and the total was
again far below the like periods OF
1929 and 1928. There have been sew
eral sporadic efforts of late, however,
to start an upward move in the rails,
based on favorable dividend yields in
this period of cheap money and vague
rumors Of constructive developments In
Washington.
The weekly steel trade reviews were
of a somewhat pessimistic tone, with
prices still giving ground" said iron
Age, "and with selling increasingly ag-
gressive the lull In the iron and steel
market has become more pronounced
Iron Trade Review pointed out that, IN
addition to unsteady demand and de.
clining prices, a new complication mao
been added by the revision OF Irelgnt
rates. The American Petroleum Insti-
tute's weekly statistics were also less
favorable, showing a moderate gain IN
crude production and a new upturn In
gasoline stocks. :.
New developments in the copper sit
uation were declaration of a dividend
of only so cents by Calumet & Arizona,
compared to $1.50 three months ago,
and a slackening of consumer buying.
Among the more reassuring items IN
the days news was the statement py
james A. Farrell, president OF United
States Steel, at the foreign trade con-
yention in Los Angeles, that despite the
present low levels of export and import
trade, the world outlook Is improving
and an increasing volume is indicated as
the wear progresses. Also, 1t was ru-
mored in Wall Street that large rubber
manufacturers are considering co-opera-
tive efforts to stabilize the industry. r.

Although offerings were light, the
market was practically without sup.
