Former Prohibition
Dies
Succumbs in Hospital

DR.. Doran's term as chief of
prohibition came during the latter
stages Of the life of the Eighteenth
Amendment, which was repealed in
1888. AS administrator for the Dis
titled Spirits Institute from 1888
to 1888, he was a defender of repeal.
Often he issued statements that
repeal had resulted in increased
Federal revenues and a decline in
lawlessness. He disputed the con-
tentions of dry advocates that
drinking had increased.
DR.. Doran was born in Grand
Forks, N. Oak, in 1885. He studied
at the University of Minnesota and
later worked in the Northern Pacific
Railroad laboratories.
In 1907 he joined the Treasury
Departments Bureau of Internal
Revenue and shortly after was made
chief chemist. This was the posi-
tion he held when he was named
prohibition chief by President
Coolidge in 1927.
Gets Alcohol Post.
In 1880 he was made commits
sioner of industrial alcohol and in
1888 became head of the institute
organized by the distilling industry.
DR.. Doran resigned this post in
1888, serving the institute as a
consultant while conducting a pri-
vate practice. He was a member
OF the American Chemists Society,
the United States Pharmacopoeia
Society, the Cosmos Club and the
National Press Club.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Roxana B. Doran, who resides at
28l6 Dumbarton street, Georgetown;
son, James Edward Doran of
Washington; a daughter, Mrs.
Frances Fountain, Louisville, KY,
and his father, the Rev. Frank

views of this organization have been
solicited by the American Govern

should beam to France, which many
persons believe may be the avenue
1or Allied invasion of Europe.
The meeting was called after Mr..
Davis had received a considerable
number of confidential reports from

The principal criticism was that the

Mrs. John |. Lewis
Dies Of Long Illness;
Funeral in Illinois
Wife of UNIV Head
Leaves Husband and
Two Children

Mrs. John L. Lewis, g., wife of the
president of the United Mine
Workers of America, died early today
at their home in Alexandria. She
had been i'll long time and in
recent months had undergone two
operations.
The body will be taken tomorrow
evening to the former home of the
family in Springfield. Ill, where
funeral services and burial will be
held Saturday.
In the IS years since her mar
riage to the mine leader, Mrs. Lewis
provided the quiet family back
ground for her husbands s active and
sometimes stormy career in the
miners union and the Congress OF
Industrial Organizations.
Bought Historic Home.
Mrs. Lewis had few interests out
side her family and home. As q
young woman she displayed a fancy
for antiques. In later years these
were used to furnish the home the
Lewises bought in Alexandria, which
has history dating back to the
Nations early days.
Friends of the labor leader said
Mrs. Lewis influence, educationally
and culturally, and the devotion be-
tween them. always had been a sub
ject of comment among those who
knew them.
She did not dominate his decisions
intimates said, even though they did
talk over his problems together
They kept abreast of developments
in various fields of knowledge by
reading together and debating at
their own fireside. They had built
up substantial library.
Not given to frequent or large
scale entertaining, she did attend
most of the conventions of the
United Mine Workers with her hus-
band and, since he became presi-
dent, took the role of hostess to the
wives of the delegates.
Two Children Survive.
Surviving are her husband and
two children, John L. Lewis, jr., q
medical student at Johns Hopkins,
and Miss Kathryn Lewis, who for a
number of years has been associated
with her father in union activities
and now is secretary treasurer of
District SO, United Mine Workers.
Another daughter, Margaret, is dead.
Mrs. Lewis is survived also by
the following sisters and brothers:
Mrs. c. P. Charter. Boise, Idaho:
Mrs. r.. o. Miller, jr., Springfield;
j. R. Bell and C. H. Bell, Arlington,
and F. c. Bell, Indianapolis.
Mrs. Lewis, the former Myrta
Edith Bell. was born in Stafford,
Ohio. on May 18, 1880, the daughter
OF country physician, DR.. j. C. F..
Bell. The family moved to Iowa
and, as school teacher and neigh
Dor OF the Lewis family, Miss Bell
met Mr.. Lewis, to whom she was
married IS years ago.
The family has resided for several
years at 614 Orinoco street, Alex-
andria, moving there when the Mine
Workers headquarters was shifted

which pointed toward controlling
industrial wages as well as the
levels for farm crops.
Agreeing with the President that
floors were as desirable as ceilings
for farm prices, the Michigan Sena-
tor said they probably would be
included in the program. The pro-
posed bill would call for repeal of
section 3 of the Price Control Act,
which provides that price ceilings
on farm products may not be set at
less than Ito per cent of parity, or
the market price as of last Octo-
Der /, last December Is, or the aver
age price from 1919 to 1929, which
ever is highest.
(Parity is a level calculated to
give the farmer income equiva-
lent to that in a past favorable
period, in most cases 1909-14)
Directive on Wages Seen.
Senator Brown indicated the
measure probably would AUTHORIZE
the Chief Executive to control wages,
but added that the authorization
might be turned into a directive
before the bill was enacted. Whether
wage floors as well as ceilings would
be established remained to be de-
. cided.
Certainly it would be impractical
for Congress to attempt to leglslate
4 definite price for every kind OF
crop and a wage for every job,
Senator Brown said, adding that
fexibility was necessary.
Senator Norris, Independent, OF
Nebraska, a member of the Agri-
culture Committee, pledged his sup
port to Mr.. Roosevelt's proposal
and said he could see no necessity
for lengthy hearings.
Floor at $50 of Parity Proposed.
Some lawmakers from farm
States let it be known that they
might be satisfied if the farm price
floor were established at IS per cent
of parity. Presumably the floors
could be maintained by Govern
ment crop purchase program, or con-
ceivably subsidies, wherever neces-
sary.
Some House members discussed
the advisability of applying th'
War Labor Board cost-of- living
formula to wage scales. Under th'
WLB plan, wages might be allowed
to rise Is per cent above the leve
of January l, 194l, to catch up witt
rising living costs.
While administration leader
worked over their bill, some Repub
licans continued to protest agalns
the Presidents demands.

cerned about the price Of commodi
ties when two-thirds of the tota
national income comes from wage
end salaries?" asked Senator But
