morals committee. t
Galloway's measure creates the
Office of state commissioner of pro-
hibition, to be appointed by the
Governor, and his salary fixed by
the state budget committee.
AS. under provision of the national
Volstead act, che commissioner
would be in charge of whisky sales
and oversee the issuance Of prescrip-
tions by physicians who would be
limited to prescribing one pint OF
whisky to any one person oftener
than. every ten days.
Manufacture of wine for Sacra-
mental purposes would be under
jurisdiction OF a priest, rabbi or
minister appointed by his confer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Attor-
General Mitchell has issued a
temporary order against wire tap
ping by federal prohibition agents,
except in cases where such prac-
tice is approved by the chiefs of
bureaus concerned.
He revealed his action in appear
ing today before the house expendi-
lures committee, which began in
vestigation OF the extent of wire
tapping, its cost and its legality.
Mitchell explained he had issued
the order pending complete in
vestigation into the whole subject
with view to establishing def
mite policy. ~'he order was issued
Jan. 10 this year.
Something can be said Tor wire
tapping in cases of dangerous Grim
inals." Mitchell said.
Police agents generally about the
country use wire tapping. I don't
believe anybody believes that indis-
criminate wire tapping should be
permitted. 1t ought to be safe
guarded with every precaution."
Il agree entirely with Mr.. Mitch
ell in favoring the restricted use OF
wire tapping as means of procur-
ing evidence" Prohibition Director
Woodcock testified.
He said wire-tapping is used in
about forty or fifty cases out OF
$1,000 or 10000 cases every year.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Op-
ponents of the veterans loan bill
in the senate won a minor initial
victory when the measure came up
for debate at the opening of today's
session.
Senator Pat Harrison Dem.,
Miss) asked Unanimous consent to
limit debate, put Senator David
Reed (Rep., Pa objected. Reeds
objection serves only to defer adop-
ton of the bin little, as it's pass
age is assured. The only question
remaining now is how soon the vote
will come.
The house passed the bill Monday
under suspension of the rules, and
the senate finance committee re-
ported it favorably Wednesday in
the face of direct presidential op-
position.
It is understood veto awaits it
at the White House, but it also is
understood that there are more
than enough votes in both houses
TO enact 1t over the veto.
Administration leaders in both
house and senate have deserted the
President on this issue.
Administration Protests
In the face of administration pro-
tests, the house had passed the bill
1868 to SO, with Speaker Longworth
leading the rebels. Wednesday the
senate finance committee reported
the bill favorably and without
amendments, 13 to 3.
Undersecretary of Treasury Mills
pleaded with the committee to re-
strict the benefits of the measure to
veterans actually in need.
He said the bill in its present
form would require bond issue.
He urged the necessity of keeping
the government out of the money
market as much as possible at this
time. The committee rejected all
suggestions.

will be open to amendment in the
senate today.
But senate leaders believe the bill
will go through without change.
If passage is delayed until Fri
day or Saturday, it still could
reach the White House in time to
prevent a pocket veto.
Mr.. Hoover'S final word of pro-
test was as follows:
"The country should not be
called upon, either directly or in
directly, to support or make loans
to those who can by their cwn ef-
forts support themselves"
So far as is possible, the letter
containing that statement is to be
utilized in an effort to obtain votes
in the senate to support Mr.. Hoover.
A two-thirds vote is required to
override a veto.
However, at present fewer than
dozen votes are counted against
the bill.

Charles Parker, attache Of the
state department of banking, who
made a lengthy speech at the pub
lie hearing on Wednesday night in
behalf of the loan companies, was
scored by all speakers, except the
Republican minority leader, Repre-
sentative Miles Furnas Randolph)
who declared that he believed no
ulterior motive was behind the
speech.
Grimm pointed out that 10000
people in Indiana did business with
the loan companies. These COM
panies, he said, had assets totaling
more than S21,000,000. He touched
lightly on the mysterious transfer of
the small loan bills from judiciary
A to judiciary B committee.
Speech Stirs Karrer
First clash of the public hearing
came after proponents Of the S1s per
cent rate declared it equitable in
view of the losses encountered.
Parker had read a speech prais-
ing the small loan business in
flowery terms, bringing in Christ's
scourging of the money-changers
from the temple and Shylock's al
legged attempt to collect his grisly
forfeit from Antioch.
Questioning the propriety OF
Parker defending and praising the
small loan business instead Of mere
" confining himself to elaboration
and explanation. of The banking de-
partment report. Karrer scored him
bitterly.
Ought to Be Discharged
This is the first time I've ever
heard a state official represent the
very people he's supposed to watch,
shouted Karrer. IF he's paid to
represent the petty loaners, then we
ought to have him discharged from
his state job
Karrer then referred to the COM
ment surrounding the transfer OF
his and other petty loan bills from
judiciary A to B committee.
"I'm a member of judiciary A. too,
asserted Karrer, land they waited
four weeks to report on my bill. The
banking department got report
together as soon as the bills got out
of judiciary A. Why did the loar
sharks get sanctimonious so sud-
da,,lv and decide a report would be
all right?"
Speaker Is Angered
F. L. Thompson, representing the
Indiana Association of Personal
Finance Companies, defended lg-
orously the 3is per cent rate I'd
the Russell Sage Foundation wi h
sponsored it and now is under fire
before a United States senate COM
rnittee for alleged lavish expend-
itures in defense of the rate.
AS Thompson was concluding, H
A. Busby. Indianapolis manufac-
turer, questioned him with: What
per cent of that $4,000 slush fund
are you getting?"
He referred to persistent reports
that a $4,000 fund has been set
aside by loan interests to lobby
against any repeal of rate reduction
IN Indiana.
Il don't understand you," said
Thompson.
Il mean Just that" said Busby.
How much of it are you getting?"
Thompson retorted angrily that If
Busby can make affidavit there is
a $4,000 sluSh fund, he'd better
place it in the hands Of the COM
mittee.
Bushy earlier in the hearing had
charged that 'the petty loan sharks
pride themselves in having enough
money 10 control enough legislators
70 defeat any reduction measure. .
