BY SAMUEL DASHIELL

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Geneva, Jan 21-Germany and Po- land, whose relations have seemed near the breaking point many times in postwar years. brought their diff ferences before the league of nations council today.
 Dr Julius Curitus, immaculate tight-lipped German foreign minis ter, read a long documented charge against Poland, centering on alleged mistreatment and denial of rights to the German minority in Silesia. Ref erences to terrorism and violence formed a recurrent theme.
 . Across the horseshoe table at which the foreign ministers of Eu- rope were gathered sat August Zal- ewski. Polish foreign minister. Dr Curtius shot an occasional glance at Zalewski as he unfolded the charges against Poland, but the Polish diplo- mat was stern and unmoved, with his jaw firmly set.

PROHIBITION ONCE
 MORE IN POLITICS
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER 1 United Press Staff Correspondent ]


 Washington, Jan 21-U. P.) A report that President Hoover had persuaded the Wickersham commis- sion to abandon at the last moment q tentative recommendation for re- vision of the eighteenth amendment was confirmed to-day in an author itative quarter. the report followed speculation concerning discrepancies between the separate reports of the commissioners and the commission general findings.
 The commission in it's general re- port stated that if the eighteenth amendment is revised. it should be changed to give congress power to regulate" the liquor traffic instead of making prohibition mandatory, as now.
 However. in his separate report, Judge William l. Grubb said he con- cured in all of the conclusions ex- cept that recommending that the amendment be revised immediately without awaiting further trial. Judge Paul J. Mccormick said in his report that he was in accord with the recommendations except that in which a revision of the 18th amcnd- ment is suggested immediately"
 No such suggestion was contained in the final general report, either for action immediately or at any other tune. The commission merely sug- gested what the change ough to be if anything is done. President Hoov- CT described this point in the com missions report as proposed re- vision of the eighteenth amendment which is suggested by them for pos sible consideration at some future time if the continued effort at en- forcement should not prove success ful''
 However Chairman Wickersham himself in his separate report re- ferred to the revised proposal as the one recommended in our report. Commissioner William $. Kenyon re- fers to modification of the eight eenth amendment suggested by the commission" Henry w. Anderson
