port contained no such recommends tion.
 One member of the commission said these statements referred to section 10 of the commissions con clusions. This section merely states that some commissioners favor a further trial. while others want i'm mediate revision but that they unite In the Recommendations for inn proving enforcement. This Is the nearest approach to an explanation that any member of the commission had attempted. No member would sponsor this explanation for quota ton.
 Jouett Shouse. executive chairman or the democratic national commit tee, issued q statement lamenting the expenditure of $500.00O for a prohibition report when President Hoover apparently was determined to maintain his own dry position regardless of the views of q ajor- vored repeal or revision.
 He was determined that this com. mission should be as subservient as the tariff commission, for example has been," Shouse said.
 Henry H. Curran, president of the association against the prohibition amendment. said:
 "The president virtually tears his commissions report to pieces when he sends 1t to congress with the mes- sage that he Is opposed to repeal opposed to revision, and in favor ot more money and more laws for more attempts at enforcement"
 Some drys favor showdown on the repeal of the 18th amendmen, believing the country will return Q dry verdict.
 II am conStitutionally and per sonally dry" Rep Charles l.. Under. hill. repn, Mass, said to-day. I am not in favor of the repeal or modi. fication of the 18th amendment. but believe in it's observance and en. forcenient. But l believe the ques. tion of repeal should b immediatel, re-submitted to the states. and have no fear of the results"

Dry Laws Have
 Proven Failure

enforcement "wholly inadequate" to cope with the vast flow of smuggled and illicitly manufactured bootleg liquor sold annually in the United States.
 In an exhaustive study of enforce ment conditions described In It's report, the commossion found that notwithstanding enormous numbers of convictions. the number of viola tions is increasing steadily and the public attitude is becoming more than ever indifferent and hostile.
 Testing enforcement by the evi- dence of liquor prices. the commis- sion pointed out that while now and then the pressure of enforce ment raises prices at some one spot, whiskey of good quality is obtainabfe substantially everywhere at prices not extravagant for persons ol means" For those who cannot af- ford whiskey, the commission said there was available large quantity of cheap. low grade liquor.
 Smuggling. diversion of industrial alcohol. illicit distilling and brewing, and illicit production of wine were named as the sources of the liquor In addition, q minor source IS d.
 
 ramental wine.
 Most smuggled liquor comes from Canada and much of this Is shipped here indirectly from small islands off the northern coast and in the West Indies, the commission said. The re- cent Canadian export ban on liquor smuggling, the report indicated Smuggling was said to be increasing despite previous government figures purporting to show the contrary.
 The commission reported less di- version of industrial alcohol than formerly due to better methods of control and development of new and improved methods of illicit distilling Much as the situation has improved the com mission said 1t was still far from satisfactory.
 Under prohibition. the commission discovered. there has developed an immense lucrative industry to sup ply retail bootleggers through Illicit distilling operations. Witnesses told of large distilling plantsmanag- ed and financed by big busi- ness methods. Employees are given counsel in case of arrest. their fam- files are cared for, their fines are paid. and they are re-employed up- on release.
 Even where federal and state authorities join in Zealous cam paign of enforcement. they have been unbale to. keep up with the setting up and operation of these unlawful plants" the report stated. The number of seizures. great as It has become. appears to leave the to- tal in operation at the end of any period at least no less than before.
 Immense profits are being derived from illicit beer. which was found to be in many places the mainstay of racketeering gangs and corrupt political organizations. The commis- sions's investigators said brewing of beer was increasing rapidly due to the demand in the larger cities.
 More production of liquor was said to have declined recently because of the lowered prices of tie bootleg product and the poor quality of that made at home. The commission as- jailed the governments policy of non-intcrferenco with home wine-

the occupants of the car to dressing rooms where they were searched. Edwin K. Nelson, Jr. of Tampa. Florida, made an outcry as the ban dits began to search him, and he was promptly shot, the bullet pierc- ing one of his lungs.
 After all the passengers had been robbed. the six men jumped from the train at what police said was q selected spot where accomplces in automobiles were awaiting them. The train was on a siding at Grants waiting for another train to pass when the six entered the Pull man car through day coach. After occupants of the car were marched to the dressing rooms four of the men stood guard over them until the other two had completed the searching of luggage.
 The names of the victims as fur nished by local railroad officials were E. w. Warner, Cincinnati, $2O loss; MT and Mrs A. McPherson, Cedar Springs. Ontario. $90: Mrs L.. c. Dearing, G10 Market street, Chat tanooga. Tenn. diamond ring valued at $2.OOO; MT and Mrs w. W. Young. 35 Lyle avenue. Toronto, Ontario. no loss: and Mrs E. J. Zacharias, 11O5 Briarcrest avenue, Atlanta Ga, diamond studded watch valued at $500.
 One member of the crew assigned to the car escaped search. He was the negro porter who took advan- tage of the bandits work in arous- ing the passengers to slip away from the smoking room and hide in a linen closet. There he remained until the train had pulled into Belle fontaine and officers notified.
 Nelson's condition was regarded as serious. The bullet penetrated his left lung and he was in a semi conscious condition. unable to fur nish an account of the holdup. An extensive search was immedi- ately instituted after the alarm had been sounded and authorities in q wide area were ordered to watch roads leading out of Bellefontaine The outlaws were believed to have boarded the train at Toledo The victimiZed passengers were not detained here but remained on the train which continued into Gin cinnati.

 That was the first indication I had that anything was wrong" Morrison said. 1T stepped into the
 aisle and a bandit poked revolver in my back and ordered me into the dressing room where other passen- gers had already been assembled while others were being forced from their compartments"

NEW ENGLAND IS SEEKING RIGHT TO BE PRESENT
Governors Railroad COm- mittee Should Be Repre- scented at Hearings on Railroad Consolidation

Boston, Jan 22.-(UP)-The New England governors railroad commit tee believes it should be delegated to represent the six states at the forth- coming hearings before the inter- state commerce commission on the railroad consolidation project. Under the proposal to be studied by the I. c. C., the principal eastern railroads except those of New Eng land would be merged into four great systems headed respectively by the Baltimore & ohio, the Pennsyl- vania, the New York Central and the Chesapeake & Ohio-Nickel Plate. The New England railroad com mittee decided at a private executive meeting here yesterday that it should attend the l. c. c. hearings to safe guard the interests of this territory lin the projected consolidation.
 For months this committee has studied the transportation situation in New England with special refer ence of consolidation policy. Its re- port was expected to be made public shortly, but after yesterdays session the committee announced it's findings would be delayed several weeks to permit more careful consideration both of the four-party consolidation project and also plan submitted by the Providence, R. l., Chamber of Commerce.
 "The proposed consolidation plan | does not include the New England railroads and the committee has been informed authoritativcly that the presidents of the trunk lines not only made no tentative agreement as
 regards the New England roads. but that the New England situation was | not discussed at their conferences, the committee declared in discussing
 the four-party plan.
 "The suggested plan Is in some re- spects at variance with the plan for
 New England contained in the com
 missions official plan of consolida-
 ton. The changes are with respect
 to the treatment of the Delaware X
 Hudson and the two bridge lines
 which terminate at the New Haven's
 Mayrbook Gateway-the Lchigh &
 Hudson and the Lehigh X New England.
 "The large volume of interchange
 business between New England and
 the roads included In the four-party
 consolidation plan gives New Eng
 land a vital interest in the situation
 In the opinion of the committee New England should be represented
 from the outset in order that all
 necessary steps may be taken to pro- tect the interests of the New Eng
 land public in such far reaching
 changes as are proposed by the prin-
 cipal eastern railroads"
