By I nitcd Press

By United Press

pervise cessation of hostilities pro-
viding Bolivia and Paraguay agree
to such a procedure. The proposed
commission would be composed of
one Argentine, one North American,
probably from the United States.
and one European.
The Chaco committee asked the
Bolivian and Paraguayan delegates
to ascertain whether their govern
mentS would accept such pro-
poSal.
The proposal was made as result
OF urgent pressure upon the league
to halt the war, in which almost
1000 were killed or wounded in the

CENTRALIZED WEALTH
ATTACKED BY OMAN
National Upheaval May Result,
Warns De Pauw President.

Capitalization of wealth in the
hands OF the few. and failure to re-
move social fault lines in America
will be the chief factors in a ma
tional upheaval unless corrected,
said DR.. G. Bromley Oman, pres
ident of De Paw university, at a
meeting Friday of the Exchange
Club.
The nations greatest danger, he
said. is that its masses. not given
intelligent leadership. viii follow
oemagogues who will steer the way
to disaster.
He pointed out there is no iuStifi-
cation for the types of pessimism
which causes men to think the end
of modern civilization is at hand.
He urged America to take warn
ing from the experiences of other
nations which did not remove So
cial faults until the upheaval came.

BOOST COST OF NAVY'S
NEW AIRPLANE CARRIER

While Economy Is Urged, Congress
Moves to Spend Fl Millions on Ship.
BIZ Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.-The
house appropriations committee is
slaShes right and left in de-
partmental appropriations, but the
house naval affairs committee just
has reported favorably a bill to in
crease by 100000 the cost of the
new navy aircraft carrier Ranger.
If the this bill passes, and it has
the backing of the navy, the ad-
ministration and the naval commit
tee, this new vessel will cost a total
of S21, 100000.
1t appears, from the committee
report, that while the Ranger might
be completed under the original
sl9,00000O authorization, the addi-
tional two million is to modernize it.

CUT MILLION
OFF u. S. DRY
AGENT FUNDS
House Votes to Ban Wire
Tapping, Paid Spies and
Buying Evidence.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Prohi-
bition enforcement funds were cut
more than a million dollars, and
wire tapping, paid informers and
purchase of evidence We're banned
Friday by the house in the vets
first successful attack on federal
enforcement and its methods
In a veritable prohibition
field day, the house reduced appro-
priations for the federal prohibi-
ton bureau from $500 GAS, recon-
mended by President Hoover, to
S8.44O,OOO, cut of S1,159948.
This represents a reduction of
$500 600 from the $912OO0O fund APP
proved by the appropriations COM
mittee.
The house also amended the
pending justice, state, commerce
and labor department bill to pro-
hibit use of any money appropri-
ated for wire tapping, purchase Of
liquor, paid infOrmers or stool
pigeons and purchase Of evidence,
methods often criticised.
Action was in committee Of the
whole without record votes. 1t Is
subject to record votes later which
may upset the wet victories Friday.
All were by narrow margins.
Federal Prohibition Administrator
Amos Woodcock appeared some
what discomfitted by the days
work, but said it would be poor
taste for him to comment since the
cuts become effective in inc next
administration. They apply for the
fiscal year 1884, beginning next
July 1.
He referred questiOners to his
testimony before the appropriations
committee in which he urged need
of the amount recommended by the
President, and defended practices
barred today as essential to cope
with the organized racketeers and
gangsters.
He said his bureaus effectiveness
against organized criminals would
be reduced.
The enforcement fund as it now
stands in the house bill is the small
est ever provided by congress. For
the current year it is $10,125,OOO.

WASHINGTON. Jan 28.-Amer-
lean Indians and their we'll Wishers
are urging that their share of the
Rooseveltian new deal be dealt them
not only from Capitol Hill but from
the White House
A program Of new and juster laws,
they claim, would be Of little aid 10
their cause without a set Of officials
eager to enforce them.
For this reason they are asking
President-Elect Franklin d. ROose-
welt to search the nation carefully
before he mans the departments
that touch their lives and property
and hold power to decree the sur
vival or ruin of their very ciyiliza
lions.
Primarily, the Indians are inter-
ested in the interior secretary and
the two men who manage the
Indian bureau under him, the COM
missioner of Indian affairs and his
assistant They are hoping that the
new President will refuse to use any
of these three positions as rewards
for his personal friends or his
partys creditors.
The Best and the Worst
The interior department has been
headed by some Of the best and
some of the worst of the countrys
public officials.
It has become famous under such
ror1 Cnl1rttsu 1t1d
James A. Garfield, who in his Re
publican heyday was one of the
cabinets shining stars.
1t also has become infamous I'M
der secretaries who conceived the
big interior department as the great
American grab bag. The Indians
hope that Governor Roosevelt will
follow the path of his famous cousin
in selecting the interior secretary.
The bureau of Indian affairs also
has had a wide variety of types as
commission and assistant commits
sioner.
Here is an Indian estate of huge
size and almost inestimable wealth,
In spite Of the inroads made by
land-grabbing white men. the In
dian domain still contains 10000,
900 acres.
It is worth conservatively at least
$1,000 100000.
It contains immense deposits of
oil and shale, asbestos Zinc, coal,
asphalt and precious metals.
It embraces timber lands worth at
least $780, 100000.
It has undeVelOped water power
upon which hungry power COM
panies have looked for years.
Without this imperial domain
Turk eager privateers of every sort
hoping for a return of the days
when the Indians lands we're happy
hunting grounds for white adyen-
turers.
Within it grinds the 100-year-old
system that has enmeshed in its
tangle-foot of red tape and prece-
dent the best-intentioned commits
sioners of the past.
In face Of such external and in
ternal obstacles, to force a funda-
mental reformation of Indian adj
ministration requires, the Indians
claim, officials of exceptional cour-
age, capability, sympathy and I'M
Outstanding.
