ProhibitioniStS began drive in
congress today for enactment of
legislation prohibiting the sale of
liquor to men in the armed services.
A committee headed by Rep
Joseph BrySon, D., S. c., was au-
thorized by bipartisan group of
representatives and senators to
press for action on liquor legisla-
ton. Several bills pending in both
the senate and house deal with the
subject, but committees to which
they have been referred show no
inclination to act on them.
Approximately 25 members of the
house and three senators-Arthur
Capper, r., Kans., w Lee ODaniel,
D.. Tex, and Josh Lee, D., Okla
attended a luncheon yesterday at
which the committee was appointed
to head the new drive.
Rep. Carl ReeS, R., KanS., one
of those who attended the meeting,
reported that feeling is running
high among the people for the en-
actment of legislation along this
line"
The thing is unbridled and I'M

Apparently there was no advance
warning of the raid, as we exper-

The great volcano. Mauna Loa,
which had spouted flame and lava
so violently for two weeks that
United States Army planes bomb
ed it twice, harmlessly smoked and
sputtered in normal inactivity to-
day.
The eruption began at 5 pm,
on April 26. Explosions burst the

and lava streams started coursing
down. coming within eight miles
of Hilo's suburbs. Until May 6,
lava poured from the volcano, and
at night column of fire mounted
hundreds of feet.
Because of the fire, the Army
would not allow the eruption to be
revealed until last night because
it constituted information of
