Proposed Relief
Merger Unlikely

SAN DIEGO, March 6. U,P)-Pro-
posed merger of SRA and county
welfare board activities has been
rendered unlikely by lack of funds
from the federal government, Julius
Rainwater, county welfare director,
said today.
Under the proposal backed by
Rainwater, administration of the
revamped relief agency would be in
the hands of present administrators

Harry KCehler, in charge of Ii
quor Jaw enforcement for the
state Doard in Imperial county,
remarked at noon:
by tonight there will be no gam
bling in places where liquor is
sold in this county
Three hours later, sooner even
than Koehler had expected, gam
ing and drinking had parted ways.
None refused to abide by the state
boards order. Revocation Of liquor
sales licenses would have been the
penalty.
Assisted by Viggo Hansen, Koe-
hler visited the places where gam
bling and liquor sale had flourish
ed side by side. A cabaret in I'm
perial, pool hall in Ell Centre
and another in CaleXico, bars in
Winterhaven and CalexicO, varied
establishments in Westmorland,
and other places in every town in
Imperial Valley we're brought I'M
der the order.
A majority Of the proprietors
affected were biding their time,
believing that the states board
will be nullified shortly. Koehler
was of another opinion.
THE enforcement of gambling
and liquor sale will remain in
effect until further orders he
said. The board wants to place
sale cf liquor on a sound founda-
ton. In this case it is acting on
numerous complaints against gam
bling and liquor in the same es-
Establishments"

Urged Prohibition Be Given Con-
tinued Trial.
BY the Associated Press.
A further trial of the eighteenth
amendment was the personal view of
George w. Wickersham after a study
OF national prohibition lasting 10
months and % days.
AS chairman of the commission
President Hoover named to study law
enforcement he submitted findings
and recommendations to the Chief
Executive on January 10, 1881. On
the next day, Mr.. Hoover transmitted
the report to Congress.
Commission Rejects Repeal.
The commission failed to agree
unanimously. AS whole the COM
mission rejected repeal or restoration
of the legalized saloon. But 6 OF IL
members asked for repeal or modifica-
ton and the whole commission agreed
that a revision of the clause giving
concurrent power to the State and
Nation would be wise.
In his personal views, Wickersham
said:
Il cannot believe that an experiment
OF such far-reaching and momentous
consequences as this of national pro-
hibition, should be abandoned after
seven years OF such imperfect enforce
ment and only three years of re-
organization and effort to repair the
mistakes of the earlier period.
The older generation very largely
has forgotten and the younger never
knew the evils OF the saloon and the
corroding influence upon politics, both
local and national, OF the organized
liquor interests.
Further Trial Declared Need.
1T is because I see no escape from
its return in any of the practical al
| ternatives to prohibition that unite
with my colleagues in agreement thai
the eighteenth amendment must not
be repeating and, differing with some
of them, I have been forced to conclude
that a further trial should be made Of
the enforceability of the eighteenth
amendment under the present organi-
zation, with the help of the recon-
mended improvements"
In letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt
as head of the 1881 Governors Con.

Interested in Foreign Affairs.

semi official capacity.
He interested himself in nearly every
question affecting the relations Of the

ments, and although he held but one
political office-Attorney General ir
President Taft's .cabinet-his views
and opinions always were held in high
regard. He was an advocate of good
will among nations and, when the
League of Nations and the World Court
were paramount issues in the United
States, he made several addresses in
favor of this country affiliating with
both.
His reputation as a student OF and
his interest in national affairs led tc
Mr.. Understands appointment by
, President Hoover in 1929 as chairman

Commission. The commission was
charged with making a study of the
shortcomings of law enforcement ano
the failure of judicial proceedings.
