NEW TARGET OF
REP. TINKHAM
By NATHAN ROBERTSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 10. U,D-
George w. Wickersham, chairman of
President HoOver's law enforcement
commission, was attorney for inter
national banking interests while he
was chairman Of the foreign pol
icy committee Of the Federal Coun-
ell of Churches, according to testi-
mony before the senate lobby com
mittee today.
The testimony came from Repre-
sentative George Holden Tinkham,
Republican, Massachusetts,, who
asked the committee to investigate
contributors to the Federal Council
of Churches. He used Wickcrsham's s
connection with international banG-
ing interests in support of his con
tention that the council, which he
charged with lobbying, was INFER
cstcd in international matters.
Tinkham carried his charges to-
dav beyond the Federal Council of
Churches and the Methodist Board
of Prohibition, Temperance and
Public Morals, which he attacked
before the committee yesterday, to
include the Anti-Saloon League,
which he said conducted a powerful
lobby here.
The Volstcad law, he declared
"is the work of powerful lobby
list. Wayne b. Wheeler, former gen
eral counsel of the league" En-
actment of, the Nolstead law was
the result of coercion of congress
by Wheeler, he said, declaring such
system was "perversion of repre-
sentative government
"The effect is general law'cSs
ness" he continued, "bccausc peo
pie will not respect laws passed in
that way"
