DENIES TESS HOLDS
DRY LEAGUE OFFICE
Mcbride Answers Britten'S
Attack-G. o. P. Chief
Keeps Helm.

F. Scott Mcbride, superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon League, replying to a
charge of Representative Britten of I'LL
noiS, yesterday denied that Senator
Fess chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, Is a director Of the
league.
Senator Fess is not now, and as far
as know. never has been, director Of
the Anti-Saloon League" Mcbride
stated. The vets will keep up their
hubbub through the coming session, but
than two to one dry in both House and
Senate
Fess Keeps Seat.
Britten had demanded that Fess
either resign as the Republican party
leader or from 1.-The dictatorship of the
Anti-Saloon League and refrain from
being its spokesman"
Meanwhile the two groups opposed to
the reign of Senator Tess as chairman
Of the committee appeared to have
stalemated each other and left the Sen
ator in command.
The antisprohibitionist apparently
upset plans of some party leaders to
bring about the installation of Post
master General Brown, also of Ohio, as
chairman at the forthcoming December
meeting Of the National Committee.
Because of the demands by the anti
prohibitionists fer Fess' resignation It
was generally agreed in high Republic
can councils yesterday that it would be
bad strategy to force a change Just now.
Moreover, Senator Fess, holding the
post against his wishes, made 1t clear
to friends he would not, get out under
fire.
a.
Mr.. Brown has had something to say
about 1t, too. He didn't take at all to
the proposal advanced by Senator Wat
son Of Indiana, the Republican leader,
and others that he take over the chair
manship.
Nevertheless, there still Is a posi-
bility that the Craftsmanship question
may come up for discussion at next
months meeting of the committee.
Senator FeSS himself Is prepared to
continue until the June convention, al
though he previously informed Mr..
Hoover that he would like to be relieved
when Congress meets.
1t seems definite that Brown is to
take command of the next Republican
campaign, but it also is definite that he
does not want to 60 into the political
Craftsmanship now.

Before departing Col. Lindbergh ex-
pressed pleasure at the way the plane
handled. He said he himself was feel
ing fine and he anticipated an enjoyable
journey into the tropics.
among the passengers was Igor
Sikorsky, designer of the craft.
Col. Lindbergh said here last night
he has no intention of seeking further
transcontinental or intercontinental
honors. and indicated he will devote
himself solely to what he termed the
more important business of transport
aviation.
"Of course, it's lots of fun planning
those trips ahead OF time, but the
transcont1nental record now seems to
be IN very good hands and I have no
intention to seek it," he said.

The suspension Of Henry Dierks, dry
agent at Englewo@, Colo, for his part
in scufde which Resulted in the death
Of Milford G. Smith was ordered today
by Prohibition Director Woodcock.
The prohibition enforcement director
said Dierks had acted like stupid and
brutal peace officer" and that steps will
be taken to bring about his permanent
dismissal
Woodcock had received a report from
Dierks which said he saw Smith take
q bottle Of wine from his pocket and
place 1t on table in a sandwich stand.
Warns All Agents.
Dierks attempted to seize the bottle
and arrest Smith, who resisted, kicking
the bottle away and striking Dierks. A
bystander named Green is said to have
Joined in the attack on Dierks.
The proprietor Of the stand. named
Carpenter, was about to do the same
when Dierks struck both Green and
Smith twice with the side Of his pistol,
drawing considerable blood.
u,
Green and Carpenter were jailed for the
night. Smith was moved to the hospital
the next morning and died that day.
II hope every agent who reads this
will take solemn warning that we will
not tolerate this type Of activity" the
Justice Department ofdcial went on.

Woodcock said he thought local au-
~
leaving Smith without medical atten-
ton. He added:
"The criminal responsibility Of DierkS
from this standpoint is slight, II any.
OF course, he did not intend to kill
Smith and the law gives an officer a
right to use necessary force making an
arrest. lNW
'If charges are brought against him
trust for the honor of his State that
he will have q just and impartial trial.
II am concerned now with his avail
ability as an agent. ! find that he has
disregarded all our training and teach
ing for a year. The offense for which
he was endeavoring to arrest Smith was
q pitiful, commercial one.
"If he had succeeded, Smith would
have paid q small fine and that would
have been all. He did not attempt to
observe. He knows no more now than
when he began Of the source of the
liquor of even whether the proprietor of
the little stand was violating the law.
Cites Lack Of Brains.
"It is just brute force and no brains.
We are paying him and have been
training him to be O. skillful investiga-
tor. Actually he was acting like o
stupid and brutal peace ofi1cer. I will
not have the energies Of the bureau
dissipated in this way"

William A. Duvall, former county

view of the facts brought to light by the
Federal investigation, the next time Q

RADIO BODY BLOCKS
BOOSTER" STATION
Application of C. B. S. Reject
ed, 8 to 2, by Commission,
Saving WMAL.

Plans Of the Columbia Broadcastine
System to erect in Washington a boost
er broadcasting station to synchronize
with WABC. its network "key" station
in New York, were shattered today by
the Federal Radio Commission.
BY a vote of 3 to 2, the commission
denied Columbias application for au-
thority to erect the booster" station.
The commissions action was of far
reaching Importance to Station WMAL,
which would have been abandoned as
Columbia's outlet in Washington had
the booster station been erected. Ru-
rnors were current that the National
Broadcasting Co. was anxious to take
over WMAI. If Columbia dropped it from
the network
Columbia was anxious to erect the
booster station in order to give Wash
ington the benefit of the complete net
work oroadcasting schedule. At the
present time Columbia complains
WMAL does not carry several of its i'm
portant programs
Columbia's existing contract With
WMAL does not expire until November
IL, 1882. 1t had, however, a mutual
option 10 cancel the contract upon
three months notice after issuance of
authorization by the commission for
construction Of the experimental
booster station
The proposed booster or repeater"
station would have used the same wave
channel $3.50 kilocycles) as wABC in
New York. The WABC programs would
be brought to Washington over tele-
phone circuits and broadcast stimuli
taneously by the booster station, thus
putting two stations on the same wave
length with the same program. Similar
experimentation has been used for some
time by WEAF and VITO. and VIDAL
and WIZ. all National Broadcastinp

that somebody, even though he is Of
little consequence, should speak of
Americans and the tax burdens Of this
country rather than that we. should
have all our people in office pay at
tention merely to the people abroad"
Senator johnson said he supposed
the World Court would be brought up
early for consideration during the
Senate session.
1T ought to be defeated" he said
THE decision Of the court in the
German Austrian case is a clear in
dication that it is a political court.
II am convinced that the first thing
we should do is to attempt at least to
alleviate unemployment in this country
realize that my views, putting this as
the first thing to do, are likely to get
scant recognition. The administration
holds that it is the duty of the United
States to alleviate suffering abroad But
my earnest hope is that we may take
up the problems at home as early as
possible in the coming session of Con-
greSs.
Purpose Of Moratoriums.
II recognize the Importance of mora

sarcasm, land that the sterilization of
the securities of the international bank
ers and the collection of their interest
Is the chief purpose Of American states
manShip today. However, 1t is a mat
ter Of regret that in forgiving debts
abroad we have to increase our taxes
at home. OF course, this moratorium
provides for renting a mere bagatelle
like $3.50, 900. We gladly add to our
deficit that amount because the inter-
national bankers require it and then we
devote our gigantic energies to learn
what new taxes we can levy here.
II wish I could impress upon every
one the seriousness of the situation in
this country and how here in the
United States Is cause for action.
Il suppose that until we dispose Of
the moratorium and the World Court
and our action in connection with the
League OF Nations no time will be
found to alleviate suffering in this
country. But do pray heaven that
we may devote ourselves for a very
brief period to relieving distress in
America"
Senator johnson looked in the best
OF health and said he was feeling
fine"
II expect to do as I please, even
though I am bloc Of one" said Sen
ator johnson.
