MORRISON ATTACKS.
RASKOBON LIQUOR.
Senator Says SouthernerS
and WeSterners Will Defeat
Repeal Proposal.
By the Associated Pregr

BY the Associated Pre7r.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 4.-Sen-
ator Cameron Morrison of North Caro-
lima today charged John j. Raskoh
"and opponents of the eighteenth
amendment" with an attempt to coerce
Democrats of dry Southern and West
ern states into support of a repeal
movement.
Mr.. Morrison, member of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, OF which
Mr.. Raskob is chairman, asSa1led what
he termed the chairman'S demand to
make a platform declaration" for re-
submission of the eighteenth amend
ment to the States for the purpose OF
repeal.
Issues Formal Statement.
In a formal statement, issued at his
home here, he termed this purported
proposal without precedent in party
practice" and grossly unfair to the
States which favor the retention OF the
eighteenth amendment"
1t has been advanced, the North
Carolinian asserted, 80 the small States
from the South and West can be forced
through unprecedented party decree to
vote as the big States with the big city
populations order them to or get out
of the political party which they love
and to whose principles they are de-
voted"
But" he added, "the conflict be-
tween a wet national Democratic dec
laration and a dry State declaration
will never arise in my opinion, be-
cause we are going to thrash Mr.. Ras-
kob and his crowd to q Standstill at the
national convention"
Prosperity Note Stressed.
Senator Morrison predicted the con-
vention would omit a declaration of
any type of instructions on the ques-
ton of the eighteenth amendment to
the representatives of the States and
plant our party upon great platform
looking to the restoration of prosperity
to the distressed people of our country
AS to instructions on the dry ques-
ton, Mr.. Morrison said he was willing
to obey any mandate of the Democratic
party in North Carolina, or promptly
retire.
But" he said ST am not willing to
be instructed by New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago St. Louis, Raskob.
Shouse and company to vote contrary
to my States well known and repeat
edly declared wish, and do their bidding
instead of my own peoples"
He said that in his opinion other
Southern Senators and Representatives
would adopt a similar attitude.

WOODCOCK PRAISES
REINFORCEMENT
Director Well Pleased With
Work Being Done in Sew
eraI States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Enforcement work by Federal prohi-
bition chiefs in half score of States
was officially commended yesterday by
Prohibition Director Woodcock.
Back from an inspection trip through
Tennessee, Kentucky. Missouri, Kansas
Arkansas and Oklahoma, Woodcock sale
the Governments enforcement agencies
there were in good shape" with the
single exception of the force in st. Louis
AT the same time he announced plans
for breaking up what was described as
large scale moonshining operations on
the Mississippi River between Tennessee
and Arkansas. Lack of cooperation
between dry agents in these States, he
said, had permitted a great deal o.
illicit liquor to flow into Memphis.
Plans Other Trips.
Woodcock returned to his desk yester-
Cay only to lay plans for continuing his
Inspection trips. In about 10 days he
intends to leave for Denver, theh~e to
the oregon and Washington districts.
Later he will 60 through the Southern
States and possibly Porto Rico.
The prohibition directors commenda-
ton to his agents was in the form of an
advancement 10 permanent status for
IA acting deputy administrators, two
acting administrators and two acting
assistant administrators in Minnesota,
Iowa, North and South Dakota, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Notwithstanding the unsatisfactory
condition in st. Louis, Woodcock COM
mended Deputy Administrator James
Dillon there. He said he had told the
people there we would back Dillon to
the limit instead of removing him.
The poor enforcement was attributed to
an insufficient force and inadequate ia
cilities.
THE most substantial accomplish
ment of this trip" he said, was an ar
rangement for cooperation between the
agents in Tennessee and Arkansas to
control violations on the Mississippi
That section abounds in islands, woods
and eStuaries of which moonshiners
have taken advantage.
In the past there was a conflict of
authority between agents in the two
States. Now we have arranged for
Tennessee agents to report promptly to
workers in Arkansas any violations
suspected on that side of the river and
vice versa. They will attack the viola
tors jointly, with a speed boat at Mem
phis to be used by either or both
forces"
Woodcock praised the spirit with
which prohibition is regarded in Kan
sas and Oklahoma He said he had
been warmly received in both States,
adding that "the people there seem to
like prohibition"
Can't Tell in a Day.
1t was impossible, however, he said,
for him to determine personally
whether violations are increasing in any
of the States visited due to the brevity
of the trip.
You can't go into a city for a single
day and tell whether the law is being
enforced" he explained.
The prohibition director showed con-
siderable interest in conditions in Porto
Rico, but said it had not been finally
decided whether he would go to the is
land recently visited by President Hoo
yer
The latest announced report upon
Porto Rico showed only one arrest I'M
der the dry law there during all of
February.

TO Be DRY WEDGE
Enforcement Body Wants
PIanks in 80 Platforms,
Says Chairman.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A plan by the Women'S National
Committee for Law Enforcement to ex-
ert pressure upon both parties to place
dry planks in their 1882 platforms was
announced yesterday by Mrs. Henry w
Peabody, chairman of the committee.
Mrs Peabody, who recently moved
from Massa chusetts to Florida as pro-
test against wet sentiment in the former
State, said this pressure would be the
political implication" of the annual
meeting of the committee here next
week.
In formal statement, she said, the
committee would receive 81 reports on
various phases of prohibition from a
national commission composed OF promi-
nent women. A composite report will
be drawn from these, she added, and
presented to President Hoover, probably
next Saturday.
Describes Report.

ems Commission of Twenty-one. It was
described as being drawn from both
political parties and independents and

DR. LELAND C. HOWARD TO STUDY
ABROAD AFTER HIS RETIREMENT
Dean of EntomoIogists to
End Government Work
on June 80.
Entered Service 81 Years
Ago as One of Three in
\ Original Bureau.

Dr. Leland C. Howard, dean Of Gov
eminent entomologiStS, looks forward to
his retirement at the age OF "a as a
turning point rather than an end to
the work which has occupied him for
the past So years.
DR.. Howard is going to Paris this
Summer to be near famous French
libraries while writing additional books
on insect life. He will make his home
with a daughter, Miss Janet Howard,
who is with the International Red
Cross.
The American scientist is eager to
avail himself of references in Paris
and Berlin unobtainable elsewhere. He
is linqutst of considerable attainment
and an honorary member OF many
European scientific societies.
Will Retire June 80.
On June 30 DR.. Howard will retire
as principal entomologist of the Bureau
of Entomology, Department of Agri-
culture. He Is credited more than any
one man with awakening the United
States to the peril of insect pests, both
domestic and imported.
One accomplishment attributed to
DR.. Howard, however, he denies. ~Dr.
Howard, the story went coined the
slogan, Swat the Fly" and helped
spread it from end to end of the
United States.
Frequently, Dr. Howard said, he was
enormously introduced as the man who
made America swat the fly" conscious.
Once at an official reception here some
one in the receiving line mentioned the
incident, but the hostess perceived
Dr. Towards embarrassment and came
to the rescue.
II was always grateful for that" DR..
Howard said, since did not wish to
appropriate an homer which belonged to
another entomologist.'
Travelled Abroad.
Dr. Howard expects to renew many
friendships when he goes to France to
live He made 25 or 80 trips to Europe
on missions for the department, travel
ing extensively both in Europe and the
Near East
He visited countries principally from
which harmful insects had been i'm
ported to the United States, There he
sought out parasite insects which had
preyed on the pests in their native
haunt and organized the work of send
ing them to America to combat the
first arrivals.
In many cases imported insects found
no natural enemy here. There was
and work havoc in America unless their
natural enemies could be launched on
a counter attack.
Dr. Howard was largely responsible
for educating the public to the fact that
the ordinary house fly was means of
spreading typhoid fever contagion.
In a larger sense, he brought the
country face to face with the menace
of insect life. dramatizing mans strug-
gle against harmful insects as a con-
tinuous warfare in which humanity was
doomed, unless increasingly on the de-
