BY the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, May 24-Resolutions in
tended to put the annual convention OF
the National Congress of Parents and
Teachers on record against legalized
beer and in favcr of creation of school
sentiment against liquor were in the
hands of committee members today.
The proposed policies were submitted
by Mrs. w. T. Bannerman Of Washing
ton. D. c., chairman of the Legislation
Committee, and Dr. Willis A. Sutton
superintendent of schools at Atlanta
Ca, chairman of the Committee on the
Use of Alcohol and Narcotics
Note: The resolution attributed
to Mrs. Bannerman was not pre-
sented by her to the congress. she
said here today. and was never in
tended to form resolution.
In a telegram to the congress, she
explained that it was taken from
3-minute speech she made last year
at a Washington meeting of the
Woman's National Committee fer
Law Enforcement. That organiza-
tion had her speech printed along
with other addresses delivered at
the meeting
Explanation in Telegram.
Her telegram follows:
MY 3-minute talk before the
Woman's National Committee for
Law Enforcement, based on spirit
of last years prohibition resolution.
was never intended as convention
resolution for this year, as reported
in local press. Whatever Seattle
convention decides on this and all
other questions will, of course, be
my chart for future"
Mrs J. K Pettengill of Lansing
Mich, director of the department OF
public welfare and Mrs. Bannerman's
immediate superior, said she believed
Mrs. Bannerman had exceeded her au-
thority in going into the philosophy
behind alcoholic and narcotic legisla-
ton"
Mrs. Bannerman's resolution read in
part: I'VE believe that when a program
of teaching the scientific facts about
alcohol, devoid of educational propa-
ganda, based upon pedagogical princi-
Piles and graded to the various age
levels, is restored to our public school
curriculum and given the time allot-
ment it was accorded in Reproduction
days. it will not be many years before
the sale of beer will not raise such reve-
nue. to justify other Federal or loca
governments legalizing the traffic fol

Law agencies and the American
Federation CT Labor have been alarmed
by a system whereby racketeers sift
enough of their members into a union
