CUT MILLION
OFF U. s. DRY
AGENT FUNDS
House Votes to Ban Wire
Tapping, Paid Spies and
Buying Evidence.
ASSAIL STOOL PIGEONS
Stories of Heavy Drinking
by Officials Are Told
in Debate.

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Prohi-
bition enforcement funds we're cut
more than a million dollars, and
wire tapping, paid informers and
purchase of evidence were 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 $685. 48, recon-
mended by President Hoover, to
$8,440,0OO cut of $1,159,948.
This represents a reduction of
$500, 900 from the 1920 900 fund ap-
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,

Tell of Wholesale Drinking
Echoing through the often acrim-
onious debate were prophecies that
the law soon would be at an end
Enlivening the arguments also
we're tales of wholesale drinking
among Washington officialdom, and
of Texas barbecue" at a nearby
Maryland resort where congressman
stood up at the bar, and partook of
well-collared beer.
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 the next
administration. They apply for the
fiscal year 1884, beginning next
July l.
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.
Tapping Upheld by Courts
He said his bureaus effectiveness
against organized criminals would
be reduced.
Wire-tapping, which was upheld
once by the supreme court with a
famous dissent by former Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes, was used in
only 101 of the thousands of prohi-
ton cases last year, Woodcock ex-
planned.
It's use was restricted after an at
tack in the house last session. At
torney-General William D. Mitchell
likewise has sanctioned it's use in
certain cases.
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 $10,125,000.
The move TO reduce appropria-
tons came from the Democratic
side.

Who Knows

John Grier Hibben, one OF Amer1-
cas- foremost educators, shuffles off
this mortal coil and the world marks
his passing. He led useful life and
richly deserved the honors which
were heaped upon him.
High-minded and sincere, he had
opportunity to help mould the think
ing of many young men. Because Of
his position in his profession, he
helped change the ideas of countless
other teachers with similar opportuni-
ties for contact with youth.
Therein, when the Great Judge to-
tails up his earthly accomplishments,
may lie his true distinction. It may
easily be that this man, and scores
Of others in similar positions, will
have had more to do with changing
the course of the world than most of
us suspect.
Many man who has approached
greatness can trace the source Of his
power to association with an open
mind and an honest heart during the
period Of his youth.

Directors Responsibility

Senator Hamilton F. Kean of New
Jersey objects to the provision in the
pending federal securities bill which
would require directors of companies
to sign statements concerning the af-
fairs of their corporations and which
would make them civilly liable for
losses by stockholders.
Nobody, the senator argued, would
want to be director if he were apt
to lose his shirt because some COM
pany about whose inner affairs he
knew very little should go into a tall
spin.
That may be true; and the result
might well be that directors would be
extremely careful to know Just what
their companies were doing, which
would be a very fine thing indeed.
We have had enough of dummy d.
rectors in the last few years; II the
new law would induce directors really
to direct, we should all be better off.

man Of the senate's Foreign Affairs

Justice for Veterans


The White House has reaffirmed
the presidents pledge to protect vet
Grams suffering from actual war in
Juries. This Is good news. The adj
ministration made blunder when it
interpreted the economy law in such
way as to force unjust cuts in COM
pensation for service connected dis
ability.
But the promptness OF the admin
iStration In confessing it's mistake and
promising relief is strong evidence
that the presidents spirit of fair play
can be trusted in this matter.
This newspaper has long urged
economy in general veteran payments,
which have been pulling the federal
government deeper and deeper into
debt. But we always have insisted
on adequate care for veterans who
are victims Of actual war injuries.
Indeed, it was by cutting unreason-
ably large benefits to less needy vet
Grams that adequate payments to real
sufferers were to be assured. That
also was the policy of Mr.. Roosevelt
1t Is therefore somewhat difficult to
understand why the administration in
the execution of the law distorted the
Roosevelt policy.
At any rate, the protests of injured
veterans from many parts of the
country have brought the issue to the
presidents personal attention in time
to prevent widespread injustice.
In addition to pledge to review
the regulations for the specific pur-
pose OF fixing more equitable Levels
OF payment, the White House nov
promises to keep open all necessary
regional offices OF the veterans ad.
ministratlon and to keep all hospitals
running pending the survey.
Obviously, no amount OF good In.
