DRY FORCES TO
FEEL EFFECTS OF
HOOVER ECONOMY
No Increase Of Agents Is
Provided For In Annual
Budget
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

Oulteu fTeSS Staii Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. U.P)-
President Hoover's economy pro-
gram will extend to prohibition en-
forcenent.
No increase in the number of dry
agents under Federal Prohibition
directors Amos w. w. Woodcock is
provided in the budget to be sub
mitted to congress, it was learned
today. The force will be maintained
at its present strength of 2500. des-
pite reports an increase would be
sought.
Though no figures have been
published, the requested amount for
the prohibition bureau is expected
to run between 100000 and S10,-
100000. Last year congress appro-
priated $1l, 100000 of which $4,000
900 was for 500 additional agents,
who were inducted into service only
four months ago.
Woodcock holdsthat more money
for prohibition enforcement is un-
justified in this time of depression
when all other government agencies
are economizing.
The federal dry director is not in
a position now to determine how
well the enlarged force will be able
to cope with the enforcement task
He expects to make at least years
trial
The additional corps of men has
served to increase activity greatly
Arrests are running about one-third
more this year than last, Woodcock
said. which he holds justifies the
expenditure for them.
The appropriation for the prohi-
bition bureau in the justice depart
ment is but part of the total. AL
together the government spends be-
tween s35 100000 and S40,000000 for
prohibition enforcement through
various agencies.
Attending Trial
Woodcock was in Fort Wayne. In
diana, today to lend his presence
at the trial of George Adams. al
legged bootlegger. on charges of kill
ing two federal agents, John I.
Wilson and Walter NJ. Gilbert. last
July. The two agents had ordered
liquor from Adams as means of
arresting him. When they revealed
their identity, they were shot.
The dry director is making an
other attempt this time through the
courts to stop the sale of wort. a
malt product from which beer is
being made. In pending case at
Cleveland he disclosed, the govern
ment will seek to have the sale of
this product declared illegal. Here
tofore. the government has Sough.
to outlaw this beer concentrate by
proving unlawful intent, but has
never won a case. Wort, of itself,
is not intoxicating, and is used by
bakeries, and therefore intent is
hard TO establish.
The government faces the same
difficulty that confronts it in the
grape concentrates used for making
wine The effect of the sale Of
these two products is to give the
thirsty American the light wines
and beers" so widely agitated under
cover of the law.

WATCHING 'STRAWS'
Politicians Keep Closely

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3. U.P)-
Voters went to the polls in scatter
ed localities today to register de-
cisions that may determine which
party is to control the house of rep.
resentatives next month.
Jcuett Shouse. chairman of the
Democratic National executive COM
mittee, predicts the Democrats will
arrive for the meeting of congress
December in numerical control.
The lineup now stands Demo-
Gratis 2l4; Republicans 2l3; Farm
er-Labor l; vacancies 7. Five va
cancies ere to be filled in todays
elections. One in New Jersey win
be filled December week before
congress meets. The remaining
one in New Hampshire will be filled
in January. In several contests the
Hoover administration is an issue.
Two major figures in the Demo-
cratic party, Governor Franklin d.
Roosevelt and former Governor Al
fred f. Smith, have come into COL
lision over a constitutional amend
ment in New York state. 1t con-
Germs a $20000,000 ll-year reforest-
ration program. backed by Roose-
welt and both political parties.
Smith has been speaking strongly
against 1t. Though Smith denies
a break with Roosevelt. they have
joined in a test OF strength which
may have important bearing on
Roosevelt's presidential chances.
Mostly, however, the elections are
of minor importance and signifi-
cant only as they may register a
mood among the voters foreshadow-
ing in part what political form the
reaction TO the Hoover administra-
ton and the depression may take
next year.
Longworths Seat Sought
Congressional seats are being
filled today in the following dis
tricts:
Ohio, first-Old district of the
