SESSION
IS THREAT Of .
DRY DEBATE
Long, Bitter Fight Assured
Over Measure; Hoover Forces
Pledged to Draft New Code

Attempts to force action on the
Howell prohibition enforcement
bill for the District at the pres
ent session of Congress will re-
suit in protracted and vigorous
debate and may be one Of the
factors contributing to an extra
session of the new Congress.
This was indicated at the Sen
ate wing of the Capitol today as
wet leaders laid plans to counter
act the efforts of the Republican
steering committee to find a
place for consideration Of the
measure.
Dry Code Pledged
The administration is strongly
committed to enactment sof a dry
code for the National Capital,
but it is regarded as doubtful if
President Hoover would continue
his insistence upon enactment Of
the bill if debate upon it could
be used as a vehicle for forcing
an extra session.
Several Senators have an
nounced that they will speak
against the bill at length when
it comes up for debate. Senator
Millard Tydings of Maryland,
Democratic wet, will lead the
forces in opposition to the meas
ure. It is probable that he will
have strong support from Senator
John j. Blaine Of Wisconsin, a
member of the Republican insur-
gent bloc, and Senator Royal
Copeland CD Of New York.
Hoover Support Assured
President Hoover in two mes.
sageS to Congress has urged en-
actment Of q local enforcement
code, and Senator Robert B.
Howell of Nebraska, introduced
his measure after several con-
ferences with the President. The
Department Of Justice, however,
has objected strongly to several
provisions of the Howell bill.
Despite this, the measure is still
regarded as having the full sup
port Of the Administration.

SCOUTS PLEDGE
CITIZENSHIP

A pledge that they would be
GOOD citizens today was made to
the District Commissioners by q
= group of so members OF the
BOYS Club Of washington when
they called upon the city heads
at the District Building. /
The pledge was made BY George
Hahn, 10, who acted IS Spokes-
man for the group. Dr.. Luther
Reichelderfer, president of the
Board of Commissioners, in re-
spending told the boys that the
pledge meant much to the Dis
> trict rulers, for while they were
young now it would be not long
;. before they were taking part IN
District affairs.
Frank r. Jelleff, president OF
the club, and John DClph, vice
president, accompanied the group.
After leaving the District Build
ing the boys went to Arlington
Cemetery, where they placed a
wreath on the tomb Of the Un-
known Soldier.

HYDE FOES WAR
ON SUGAR RULE

The fight against the corn
sugar ruling of Secretary Of Agrt-
culture Hyde will be waged along
three fronts, it was announced to-
day.
Congress, the State legislatures
and the public will all be asked
to join the opposition to the de-
cision, which breaks down pro-
visions of the pure food and
drugs act with respect to the u1l-
labeled use of corn sugar in
canned and processed foods.
Congress Probe Seen
It is probable that an investi-
CATION will be asked Of Congress.
State legislatures in the produc-
ing and canning States will be
asked to enact legislation pro-
hibiting the use of corn sugar,
undesignated, in processed foods.
The public will be asked to OBJ
serve the poor quality" Of GER
tain canned goods in which dex-
troSe, or corn sugar, Is used as a
cheaper substitute for cane sugar.
Leadership in the fight against
the ruling has been taken by vari-
GUS pure food groups and by the
National Gamers Association,
which has been the strongest op-
ponent Of it in the hearings be-
fore Congressional committees
and in Department Of Agriculture
hearings.
Sugar Branded Poor
Frank E. Gorrell, secretary of
this association, made this state
ment today:
"By actual experiments in
our research laboratories corn
sugar has been found to cause
shrinkage and to detract from
the appearance Of Canned
peaches and to impart an un-
pleasant flavor.
"ThiS sugar makes fruit dark
and Objectionable and it Is
lacking as q sweetening agent
in freezing fruits.
The demand for the use Of
corn sugar in canned goods
has not come from industries
that might be expected to use
the product, but from the in
dustry that makes the sugar"

WOODCH0PPER D
OFFERED JOB

A job awaits the New England
woodchopper who fell in Nne at
the White House reception New
Year Day believing it was -
breadline and received q hand
shake instead Of a handout, the
District committee on employ
ment announced today.
George j. Adams, secretary Of
the committee, said:
II will be glad to see that
the man gets a job. The COM
mittee may need some wood
choppers in a day or 50 and,
anyway, such faith in human
nature ought to be rewarded"
Attracted by the crowd in front
of the White House, the wood
chopper fell in line and soon had
passed into the entrance. He
accepted the hand of President
Hoover and passed out again. His
bewildered look attracted news
papermen. When questioned the
man said he thought the line
was a breadline.
The Washington times., 1931-01-03
SLEMP IS ALSO
MENTIONED
FOR POST
Successor Now Expected to
Be Chosen From Newspaper
Workers; SIemp Mentioned

. President Hoover today faced
the task of filling the first
y vacancy in the immediate official
family he brought into office
with him, occasioned by the
resignation of George Akerson as
his secretary.
Thus far, the President says, he
has made no choice. 1t Is under
stood, however, he will fill the
post from among the corps OF
q Washington newspaper CORES
pOndents. Mr.. AkerSOn came from
a that group.
Writer Is Mentioned
Among the names mentioned
was that of AShmun Brown, vet
eran correspondent, who has
represented the Providence R
- Journal since 1920.
It was reported that Henry j
Allen, former governor and Sen
\ ator and newspaper publisher from
Kansas, would not accept the ap
Z pointment.
Should Mr.. Hoover go outside
a the newspaper field there was
some talk of o. Bascom Slemp
former member Of Congress from
Virginia, who served as secretary
to former President Coolidge. Mr.
6lemp is now American commits
sioner general to the French Co
lonial Exposition in Paris.
Enters Film Industry
Mr.. Akerson will become vice
president of Paramount PubliS
} Corporation at reputed salary
Of $30,00 a year.
. with retirement of Mr.. Akerson
from public life, the President has
lost a greater portion of that little
group of campaigners who first
brought him to the fore. Col. Will
y liam "Wild BilP' Donovan, former
Assistant Attorney General, is
practicing law. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, who held q position
similar to Donovan's. and who flg.
ured most prominently IN the
campaign Of 1923, is representing
the wine growers Of California
Col. Horace Mann, reputed to have
lined UP the Southern delegates
for the President, has split with
~his erstwhile favorite, and so II
goes down the line.
