crim1nology in typical Darrow fashion.
There we're no formal rebuttal speecnes
and there was no decision at thf con-
clusion of the debate" Even the Off

Dr.. Wilson opened the arguments with
a review Of prohibition history he

bition for outlawing the licensing sys-
tar, hv which the Federal Government
