WOMEN HAVE NOT BEEN SEEKING POSITIONS ID
 ENFORCE PROHIBITION

Women have not been seeking prohibition enforcement positions, as is shown by the comparatively negligible number who have applied in the last five years to take Civil Service examination for such posi- tions, according to information made available at the Commission.
 The Director of Prihibition, Col. Amos ". w. Woodcock, recently is- sued orders prohibiting the use of Federal funds to employ women as blinds, decoys or informers" in en- forcement of the liquor laws.
 The Director explained, however, that the Bureau does not discrimin- ate against the employment of women as such, but rather holds the belief that their employment in the actual gathering of evidence leads to conditions not of the high standard which the Director be- lieves should be maintained
 It is the intention of the Bureau, Colonel Woodcock has announced, to punish any agent who obtains the assistance of women in this capacity.
 Records show that from 1927 to 1880, inclujive, only l2 women were listed among more than 5000 per sons who were found eligible for prohibition agent positions.

without waiting for motion by the
prosecution. Then he ordered the
courtroom doors locked during
the trial and opened only during
regular recesses.
Trial Opens Drive
The trial of the bullet-perfOr-
ated gangSter was seen as the be-
ginning of a drive by the author

ace of racketeering.
There are four other indict-
ments against Diamond.
The trial got under way amidst
reports that gangland had at
tempted to approach some of
the veniremen and that more
than $4,000 had been raised to
aid in the defense.

testify that Diamond was with
her in Albany at "a party" dur
ing the time Parks was kidnapped

: FINAL
RULING ON FALL
TOMORROW
Justice Will Not Object to
New Mexico Prison Asked
BY Ex-Cabinet Member

Final court action in the Jail
commitment of former Secretary
of the Interior Albert B. Fall was
postponed today until tomorrow
after a conference in chambers
between Justice J<1nings Bailey
and attorneys in the case.
Frank j. Hogan, counsel for
Fall, declined TO say what he
would propose when he enters
court tomorrow.
The conference today is said
to have dealt with a rather minor
matter, and it is expected that
tomorrow Falls sentence of a
year in Jail and 100000 fine on
conviction of bribery will be
amended to year and a day in
prison with the fine.
Asks New Mexico
Fall, according to word received
here, accepted the suggestion of
his physician that he take the
modified sentence. SO that he
could be imprisoned at Santa Fe,
N. NJ.
While a prison sentence, pre-
Sumably, carries a sting that does
not accompany a Jail sentence,
Fall will obtain his release much
earlier if he accepts it.
He would be eligible for parole
after four months and one day
of the prison sentence. His good
time" on the Jail sentence would
be but so days in the year.
Pauper's Oath
The fine of 100000 could be
escaped, officials explained, by
the taking of a pauperss oath.
The Government, however, would
have the right to examine his
finances.
Justice Bailey indicated that he
would not attempt to fix the
place of confinement of the for
mer Cabinet officer. who was con-
victed for bribery in the leasing
of naval oil reserve land. The
Department of Justice would de-
eide this question.

ex-convict, to the effect that he
saw Traugott F.. Keller hurled in

"If Germany goes bankrupt
and the Bruening Cabinet fails,
the country will be left at the

If the Reds gain control of
