MILITANT STAND
URGEDBY CANNON
Bishop BIames Breakdown
OF Prohibition on Lack
of Enforcement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSON, Miss, May Address
ing q prohibition rally here yesterday
In Municipal Auditorium, Bishop James
Cannon. jr., of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South, urged a militant
stand for re-enactment of national
prohibition and blamed its breakdown
principally upon lack of Federal en-
forcement.
He said President Herbert Hoover
on his Inauguration day made the
statement that he stood for national
prohibition and would enforce it. That
gave US hope.
But that same day the President
sent the name of Andrew w. Mellon
to the Senate for Secretary of the
Treasury. I said, Well the President
will find some means to see to 1t that
Mr.. Mellon does not control this
budget
''Mr. Mellon never believed in the
eighteenth amendment. but he served
as head of the prohibition department
during its nearly IL years as enforce
ment officer.
Hits Low Appropriation.
Had President Hoover gone before
Congress and said, I am going to
enforce this law and had asked Con-
greSs for hundred million dollars to
enforce it with, he would have gotten
it."
That was our shocking failure, "
Bishop Cannon said, adding that Con-
gress appropriated about $ll, 100000
for prohibition enforcement and later
trimmed it to about 100000.
Other contributory causes to the
downfall of national prohibition,
Bishop Cannon said, were lack of
State cooperation. wet press, false
propaganda and the Roman Catholic
Church."
He charged that the famous Rookie
feller letter, which expressed the con-
vlction that "as a result of prohibi-
ton drinking and drunkenness has
great increased" was wet propaganda
Bishop Cannon said Mr.. Rookie
feller was his friend and meant we'll,
but that the wet press" emphasized
the Rockefeller statement and did not
give equal prominence to replies to
it by Evangeline Booth. head of the
Salvation Army, and Jane Addams,
who, he said. were better qualified
than Mr.. Rockefeller to speak on
this subject"
Meant No Attack on Church.
Outlining his position in relation
to the Roman Catholic Church. the
veteran Virginia church leader as
serted that he meant mo attack on
the church"
1T has just as much right to take
its position on prohibition as the
Methodist Church has," he said. But
I Just want to get this point on
record that IN the last six years the
Roman Catholic Church has lined up
almost solidly as opposed to the pro-
hibition law"
Bishop Cannon blamed former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith of New York for State
notification. He charged that Smith
sponsored the repeal of prohibition in
New York State and was the initiator

REPUBLICANS
VERY LITTLE
BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL

BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
Senators Borah and Nye, pro-
gresSive Republicans and ardent
advocates of reorganization Of the
party Of the elephant. have not
contributed materially to the ad-
vancement of their ideas by their
addresses to a Republican gather.
ing in New York.
This Is the reaction Of Repub'
licans. Of various stripes now in
washington after perusal OF the
speeches made by the two Sena-
tors at Thursday nights meeting
in New York under the auspices
of the New York county Repub-
lican committee.
That meeting was supposed to
be of considerable help in bringing
about the realignment Of the Re.
publican party, urgently de-
manded in some quarters and
tacitly admitted to be necessary
in others.
Meeting q 'Dud
Actually, if you can believe q
great number Of Republicans who
are here, the meeting was a great
big "dud." .
It IS pretty generally conceded
here that if the Republican rarity
is to be reorganized, or even re-
vitaliZed, those results will be OBJ
tanned upon the basis Of the Ac-
tivities of the partys representa-
ton In Congress in the next two
years, rather than upon the basis
of individual demands Of party
members.
Party Weak in Congress
Admittedly the party delega-
tions in the Senate and House
won't have a great deal Of power
so far as the direction Of legiSla.
ton Is concerned. They won't
hold any veto power over the
Administration demands an d
they won't have the power sue.
cessfully to initiate legislation.
They will have a chance, how
ever, to show that they are ready
to apply a policy of what one
member of the party in Congress
described today as common
sense" to the necessities Of the
nation and to the policies Of the
Administration.
As this member declared, this
does not mean a policy Of "su-
pine acceptance" Of the expert
mentS of the New Deal and 1t
doesn't mean a policy Of futile
heckling.
Likewise it doesn't mean q
ceaseless demand for "reorgani-
zation" Of the Republican party.
Must Use Own Ideas
It does, in the opinion of this
member, mean that the Repub-
lican party, as now represented
in the Senate and House, and
without reorganization" can pu:
forth ideas Of it's own on ma
tiotal issues and can accept with,
out apology the ideas put forth
by others for the national well
fare.

Tipsy Birds Can Be
ShoveIed in Sacks
and Drowned

The brewers of Washington
may become the saviors OF the
District from the startling plague.
The pestiferous birds have a
marked weakness for alcoholic
stimulation. The most highly
regarded course on the starting
menu is brewers mash.
When this tid-bit is available,
the winged tipplers - fathers,
mothers, and offspring-go on a
family bender which lasts until
the whole group gets the wing
staggers or contracts acute alco-
holism. 1t is then a compare
lively simple matter for the bird
drunks to be rounded up and dis
posed Of.
These revelations on the pri-
vate lives of starlingS were made
today at offices of the New York
firm of John Russell Pope. archi-
tects for the latest startling sane
tuary, the new Federal Archives

How London Beat Them
According to an English repre-
sentative of the firm, London Suf-
fered from similar plague.
Methods such as are currently be-
ing employed in Washington were
tried, all to no avail.
Brewers mash placed in troughs
throughout the city, however,
turned the tide against the in
vaders from the clouds. A corps
of Workmen soon were busy
shoveling inebriated starlings into
gunny7sacks and the birds were
meted watery grave in the
Thomas as punishment for their
sin of overindulgence.
The gay night life of the birds
about Washington is particularly
evident on the columns, embellish-
ments, and, in fact, upon most of
the exterior of the $12,000,000
Government home of records and
documents. Indeed, before the
roof was completed the interior
details were marred.
Stains Defy Removal
Streaks and splotches in car
mine, purple, and green are evil
dent, and the removal of the stains
is described by the architects as
next to impossible" because of
their composition. Chemical an
alysis reveals that the colors are
"a pure vegetable dye" which IL
many instances even defies acid
baths.
The buildings exterior has only
recently been steamed and washed.
But despite shotgun discharges,
balloon ascensions, tinkling bells,
and threats of bodily harm, the
starlings have only shown their
boredom-no, amuSement-at the
antics of the bird-frighteners by
reducing the building to its former
state.
