WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-As

Capitol Hill to separate fronts in
48 states, forces of attack and de-

As news was flashed from the
capitol that the house had passed
the resolution to submit the repeal
Question to the states, plans for the
separate fights in the states al
ready were being laid in the red
brick headquarters of the Anti
Saloon League across the park. In
nearby headquarters of the anti
prohibitionists meanwhile, there
was taking shape drive by which
it is hoped to "jam through" APP
prevail of the repeal resolution
within a year.
Prohibition defenses may be ex-
pected to undergo their hardest on
slaught on the eastern front, where
the Anti-Saloon League considers
wet sentiment strongest. In the
south and west the drys count on
their most reliable support.
The anti-prohibition offensive
probably will be concentrated in
about 20 states that are considered
supporters at present of the dry

CROOMS MAKES
BUS QUESTION
CLEAR TO ALL
SAYS ACTION IN MATTER WAS
NOT AS RESULT OF FAILING
TO REACH AGREEMENT
WITH CITY OF KEY WEST

Discussing the discontinuance
of the bus service in Key West
which went into effect Saturday,
Bascom L. Grooms, president of
the Key West Electric Company,
told The Citizen today that the
situation was exactly as described
in this newspaper Saturday.
"But," continued Mr.. Grooms,
Correspondence from the CORE
spondent of another state paper,
who is in Key West, is altogether
wrong in several ways.
"The headline to the story in
yesterdays Miami Herald in regard
to the discontinuance of bus oper-
alton was misleading, as it implied
that operation was stopped because
of our failure TO reach an agree
ment with the city, which is not
the case.
Operation was discontinued be-
cause the company could no longer
stand the financial loss resulting
from the operation of buses; fur
thermore, it felt that it was not in
position to purchase licenses
which would have been necessary
had operation been continued.
"The last paragraph of the Mi
ami Herald story quoted me as
stating that the company is prepar-
cd to fight any action that the city
council might take

tiations, and there are good rca-
sons to believe that satisfactory
settlement of the matter viii be
reached soon.
