DEPT. OF JUSTICE
 ASKS DRY RULING
Seeks to End Uncertainty Fol-
 lowing Clark Decision

Washington, Dec 31 LPt-Seeking to end uncertainty regarding va lidity of the 18th amendment, the justice department had before the 1 supreme court today a request that an early hearing be given its appeal from the decision Of Judge Clark of New Jersey.
 With the request was a brief set 1 ting forth concisely the govern ment's disagreement with that jur- ist's conclusion that the prohibition amendment was invalid because ratified by state legislatures rather i than constitutional conventions. i Solicitor General ThaCher, who pre- pared the brief, with the aid of As sistant Attorney General Young quist and four other attorneys, an- nounced himself ready to argue the case any time.
 Briefly, the government argu- ment was that the language Of the constitution left no room for tha | construction given by Judge Clark; l that the supreme court had so held already; that substantially the ar gument presented in this case hau been advanced in the national pro i hihition cases of 1920, and that there was no "ambiguity' in the l language Of the constitutional sec ton dealing with amendments to require modification by principles of politjcal science" as held by Judge Clark.
 May Set Date Soon
 Justice officials were Of the opln- | ion the supreme court would set d date for the argument on its next opinion day, January II. The court at present is in recess until next Monday. It will recess again on January o6 until February 24, and the governments representatives arc hopeful the case will be heard be- fore that.
 Thacher said in the request for early hearing:
 "The decision (by Judge Clarh) has received wide publicity and has produced uncertainty regarding the validity of the prohibition laws which, unless promptly settled by this court, is likely 10 cncouraso disregard for those laws and will hamper the government in their en- | forcement.'
