could get started in such career before he would be dropped from the student body"
 Shortly after he finished, the con- mittec recessed until next Wedncs- day when friends of the 18th amendment will continue presents ton of testimony.
 Horace Taft Leader
 White testified his committee was q private organization headed by Horace P. Taft, brother of the late chief justice.
 The liquor law is really one of the easiest laws on the statute books to enforce" he began. Con necticut courts get from 70 10 91 per cent convictions as compared with 20 to 40 per cent convictions for reckless driving. It is much easier law to enforce than law against driving under the influence of liquor.
 Tn fact it is only when the boot 1 logger violates other laWs-Con- spiracy, bribery, perjury, forgery and sometimes murdcr-that he can make bootlegging a paying business, and it is really because of the diff | faculties of our courts in grappling with these more serious offenses that bootlegging can exist ! White said he thought there was probably as much drinking by stu dents in their rooms" as before. | Change in Drinkers
 "There is a noticeable change, 1 however, in the character of the present students who drink as com pared with the old days" he said. The youth who drink today arc characteristic of the kind of boys who like to drink with women and are not averse to doing things sur reptitiously.
 There is difference of opinion among the Yale deans regarding the advis2 bility of the 18th amendment and also the effects of the liquor laws on the character of the student body. Most agree. however, that conditions have steadily improved since 1924.
 ".At Wesleyan university. the col lege authorities state that there has been an entire change in the atti- tudc of the students and the faculty toward drinking. so that at the present time they have only about one disciplinary case q year in q body of GOO students. and for a stu dent to be known to drink liquor at all, is immediately followed by seri- ous disciplinary measures and a re- peated offense means dropped from the student body

 Both Parties Dry
 Robins told the committee that both major parties were dry and dare not be otherwise

 National prohibition come, he said, because wet states would not allow dry states to be dry, and be- cause "any social problem of such far reaching effect involving all the people is ultimately forced to yield to national consideration and treat nent."

 To Postpone Elections
 In this connection, the central executive committee of the soviet union today issued orders to post ponc the reelection of soviet villag" officials until the spring sowing cam pIign is over and then only to al 10" such reelections within certain prescribed limitations imposed by the committee. This apparently means the government has found newly elected village officials are largely responsible for harsh ad- mini-trative measures in dealing with the eXtermination of kulaks, or rich peasants, the collectivization of small farms and the anti religious movement

 The matter was about to be settled peaceably by doing nothing when Rep. Summers, democrat, Texas, a dry. arose and protested heatedly that the charge was an insult to Mrs. Peabody. His dry colleague, Rep. Hammer, democrat, North Car oiina, then moved that it be ex- punged from the record.
 The meeting was in an uproar with several committee members trying to speak at once. when Chair man Graham, the 79-year- old repub- llcan from Pennsylvania, dropped his gavel and adjourned the session.
 The drys were able to get only four witnesses on the stand and are anxious for an arrangement where by the cross examination of their witnesses may be limited.
 A report was expected from Mrs. Peabody on whether she desires any corrections in the record as taken by the stcnographer. The only other witness scheduled for today was Ralph H. White, secretary of the Connecticut committee of law enforcement who will give results of survey made in his state.

Relations Strained

Washington, March 14 UP)- Strained relations existed between vets and drys when the house judi ciary committee met today 10 con- tinue the dry side of the prohibition hearings.
 Chairman Graham indicated he would lay down q new set of rules for the conduct of witnesses and committee members in order to maintain peace between the bellig- erent factions. A limit of time for cross examination or general agreement to be peaceful will be suggested in order that the fervor of the opposing sides may be re- strained.
 There arc tariff railroad. power and farm hearings daily by house and senate committees, but none has developed the strenuous oppoSi- ton spirit which at times has pre- vented Graham from maintaining any scmblancc of order. Crowds of vets and drys in the audience ap- plaud and sometimes cheer, and upon one occasion an unidentified lady arose to protest that the cross examination by the vets was run ming too long.
 The particular issue to be settled now is whether the committed should expunge the charge of wet | Rep. Celler, democrat, New York that dry leader, Mrs. Charles w. Peabody, Boston. prompted and coached her witnesses when they were on the stand yesterday.

 The committee also heard Rev Ralph II. White, of New Haven. re- search secretary of the Fact Find ing Committee on Law Enforce mcnt in Connecticut, who testified that students in high schools and colleges had reduced their drinking since prohibition.

BORN RECKLESS' AT
 BRADLEY FRI.-SAT.

Gangland; shadowy. elusive coun- try, with euriously undefned borders, set amid the slums and the palaces of every big city; country where men and women are human beings whose vices spring from warped environment; country where fidelity to ones fellows is held far higher than human life; where a regular member of q gang has the support of powerful interests and where a "sauealer" meets his doom at the mouths of relentless automatics.
 This is the real underworld, accord ing to John Ford, Fox Movietone di- rector, whose remarkable all talking drama. Born Reckless" will play Saturday at the Bradley theatre.
 Broadly speaking" says Ford, 'the only difference between a gang yter and bookkeeper is one of ethics. You and. l have one code; the gang ster has another. And he lives up to his far better than you or l, probably, for in his case the punishment for failure is quick and certain. Aside from this code. the gangster is as human as anyone. This is the fact we have stressed in Born Reckless" by nortraying the underworld as it real ly is.
