WET BLOC WILL
ACT TO SLASH
DRY LAW FUNDS
Enforcement Money Would
Be Cut, Modification or
No Modification.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.- A
slashing attack on dry law enforce
ment will be unleashed inside and
outside congress pending action for
modification or repeal, it was
learned today.
While some municipal and state
officials are planning to let the fed
eral and state dry laws become dead
letters, a powerful congressional
wet bloc led by Representative F.
II. La Guardia (Rep., N. 70 and
Including many erstwhile dry DEM
Ocrats will move to block or reduce
federal enforcement appropriations.
Prospect Of prompt legalization
Of beer, they believe, will obviate
at least one-third of the annual
enforcement expenditures, now esti-
mated at $4,000, 900 a year.
Some vets maintain that, while
waiting for congress and state legis-
latures to strike baby Volstead acts
from the books, appropriations
should be only large enough to per-
NIT gradual liquidation Of the whole
prohibition bureau.
Great Gains by VETS
!. Federal officials always have in
sisted that enforcement is impossible
without local cooperation, and soon
seventeen states will be without any
dry laws at al.
Counting cities where there will
be no effort to close up speakeasieS
or arrest violators, it is estimated,
100000 people will oe living in
territory that will be wet to all in
tents and purposes.
The vets resume their fight with
terrif1ce gains everywhere. With the
house wet by 81 and the vets con-
trolling the senate, at least in the
next congress, machinery for modi-
fcation and repeal is expected to be
set in motion by spring at the very
latest.
Revision of the Volstead act may
BE-. made during the December
session. depending on the attitude of
Republicans and President Hoover.
Gains outside of congress have
been just as great, and will be cited
in the war on excessive appropria-
ton measures.
Die-Hard Fight Is Faced
Where vets at one time feared
they might not be able to win
enough states to ratify a repeal
proposal, they have few doubts now,
They point to anti-prohibition VIC
tories in such hitherto dry ter
y4ory as North Carolina, Iowa, Col
Grade, Oregon, Washington and
California.
The drys, however, will wage a
die-hard fight against this pro-
gram on the grounds it amounts
to notification The will insist, as
does Senator William E. Borah
CRep., Idaho, that until constitu-
tional methods have done away
with the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act, Uncle Sam
must do his best to enforce the law.
Despite the confidence of the
vets, leading drys in congress con-
tend they can block action on beer
at the December session.
Borah and others point out that
measures for economic relief and
recovery should have the right of
way.
IF Borah should lead a filibuster,
as he threatens, it might become a
powerful obstacle in the path of re-
vision.
He has expert legislative me-
chanics and long-winded orators
both in his army of aridity.
