SHEPPARD SAYS
PROHIBITION
IS SAFE
Amendment Preserves Lives
OF 100000 Annually; Never
Will Be Repealed, He Claims

Prohibition has saved 100000
lives annually during the last II
years, Senator Morris Sheppard
D.) Of Texas told the Senate
today, the eleventh anniversary
Of PRONUNCIATION of the dry amend,
ment. He declared:
'"The principal foundation on
which prohibition rests today Is
the voluntary obedience Of the
great mass Of the American
people"
Agents Almost POwerlesS
he said there are only 1,70o
prohibition agents working among
l23,OoO,OOO people to enforce the
Nolstead act, and added:
"The American people would
be overwhelmed but for the fact
these agents must cope with
only Q comparatively small and
lawless minority"
Senator Sheppard declared the
liquor traffic q scourge Of the
human race, and continued:
"It was the desire to con.
serve human values that did
- much ta establish national
pcOhibitiOn as any other thing.
Human Values Conserved
TT is the desire to conserve
human values that will cause
a. to wage unceaSing war
against the whole brood Of IL
licit liquors, from whatever
source, from our own land or
from other lands.
"The fight against beverage
alcohol reached an intensive
status when increased popula-
tiOn, increased production, In.
creased capital, increased
chances for gain made possible
by the machine age united to
bring about the manufacture
Of int0xicants to an extent
that threatened the permanent

eminent, the general impair
Sment and health and morals
and efficiency.
Deneis Crime Increase
Senator Sheppard denied pro
esibition had caused an INCREASE
Ia crime, and cited statistics to
support his denlel. He added:
"AIso without foundation Is
she assertion that young people
are drinking more today than
ever before. Returns from
survey of million high school
students made within the last
year and half show the use of
liquor by the young is steadily
decreasing"
He asserted the vets are hope
Jessly divided, declared there was
no possibility Of q compromise,
and he predicted the prohibition
amendment would never be re-
pealed.

ANCHORAGE FISH MEN
 RECOMMEND

As a representative of Henry O'Malley, Captain Roy Cole, fish warden, attended a fish meeting held week ago at the Anchor cge hotel. Attention of the De- partment was directed to need ed corrections in fishing laws.
 An earlier king season was urged.
 The need of lengthening the season to permit a catch of sil- vers.
 Attention was directed to de- structive hair seal herds.
 In connection with the recom- mendations submitted regarding seal extermination, the startling point was revealed that a check on a permanent herd of approx imately 5000 seals between Ni- kolai River and Snug Harbor, shows the destruction of 125,O00 red salmon daily during the run. It suggested that a Federal bounty be provided to supple ment the Territorial award. and the length of trap leads brought up, and the great need ot changes in laws governing the opening and closing of seasons. and the length of trap leads and gillnets was stressed.
 The fish warden, upon his lat CT visit to Seldovia, declined to discuss recommendations con- nected with the different com plaints and requests. Nor would he dwell even lightly upon the probable need, or lack of need, embraced in the Upper-1nlet's suggestions.
 He is not going straight to &c., attle, said Captain Cole, but will stop in Southeastern Alaska, and there make an exhaustive study of spawning ground conditions, analysis based upon reports of this inveStdgatiOn will be added

His Speech Will Be Mailed Out to Members on His Views - There Were Some Diverse Views on RaskOb's Action - Real Business Is Yet to Come

Washington. March 5.-(UP)- Chairman John J. Raskob of the democratic national committee to- day told party leaders gathered here at the committee meeting that he hoped no attempt will be made to force any action on policies at this meeting.
 This came after 1t was an- nounced that his speech to the com mittee. in which he is expected to reiterate his wet views. would be made at an afternoon session.
 He explained 1t was his intention that his speech should be mailed out to members of the committee for their consideration, and the propos- aIs advanced to be considered at an- other meeting of the committee, probably year hence.
 He said members could study this speech with the public reac- ton in mind. so that they could de- liberate upon 1t at the next con- vention.
 "I am very confident in holding that policies should be adopted only after mature deliberation,' the chairman said.
 His declaration was received with great applause from the assembled national committeeman. Whether his proposal would be acceptable to dry democrats was still in question, but there were indications that 1t might be received harmoniously.
 Representatives from dry states had organized their forces to fight any attempt to bring the prohibi- ton issue into this meeting. They

Visions Extension To Both Police And
 Fire Apparatus
Present Law Holds Only Operator Liable, Not Town or City Owning Vehicles Claim Public Has Right to Protection and Courts Change of Law

no municipality may be sued for damage done by It's Ire or police de. partment apparatus on the highway. Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins D. StoeckeI in a statement read from WTIC, the Travellers Sta- tion, this afternoon, said that in the Interests of the public the law might we'll be changed.
 He pointed out that the state has long since relinquished its freedom from suits in connection with negli- gence in the construction of high ways. Tn 1929 also a state law was adopted which allows suits to be brought against municipalities when children are injured while being transported to or from school by an agent of the municipality.
 "This removal of the defense of governmental function in connection with the carrying of school children, which was initiated by the Connecti- cut department of motor vehicles, seems only fair," said the commits sioner. Tt is right that towns and cities which make contracts for transportation with carriers should assume responsibility and not be al- lowed q plea of governmental func- ton when a selection has been poor, or the operator of a school bus has been careless or negligent.
 Tt now becomes a question whether 1t is not also fair to consid-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-05

CT the abolition of this defense in connection with police and fire de- pertinent vehicles. Under the appli- cation of the motor vehicle law none of these vehicles owned by muni- cipalities and used for police and fire purposes is 6 motor vehicle with in the terminology of the law. The only law which governs such a mo- tor vehicle is the law of reason. If 8 fire department apparatus, going to a fire at what might be considered an unreasonable rate of speed, does damages to personal property the only source of recovery would be through the operator of the vehicle. The same is true in connection with police vehicles.
 'It is not fair to the public to con- tiEue such a situation or condition. It isn't fair to the operators. There is now in the state an instance of a police officer who Is being sued as a private citizen for damage done while he was operating q city-owned vehicle
 Fairness seems to demand that something be done about this ques- ton at once so that the public may have better protection, so that the responsibility may rest where 1t be- longs, and so that an individual may not have to assume the burdens which rightfully belong to a muni- efna ltfv
