would authorize the board to turn
'over the wheat to anjwtgency select

Senator Caraway, characterized the
legislation as a direct appropriation
of ?1 f. 000. 000. which tit estimated
; would be the cost of the wheat. The
bill originally provided for the distri
bution of 40,000.000 bushels, but the

YIDry Law Report
Sent to Congress
Arouses Debate
President Hoover Agrees with Wick
ersham Commission Amend
ment Be Retained
Washington, D. C, Jan. 20. The
long-debated report of the Wickcr
sht.m commission, broadly upholding
constitutional prohibition but leav
ing the door ajar for basic revision,
was put on the crowded calendar of
a divided congress today by Presi
dent Hoover.
The president agreed with the
commission that the dry amendment
should not be repealed. He disagn d
with a suggestion that revision might
he the better part of wisdom. He
pointed out to congress that all the
eommis'jioners favored large expan-
sion
of enforcement facilities, an::
aii! he honed congress would ce.ii-
Isider that at some appropriate time.
The arrival ot the report on Cap
itol hill set off explosions there that
(promised to be heard in the next
election.
Senator Borah (Idaho), an advo
cate of prohibition, said repeal or
no repeal of the Eighteenth amend
ment is the issue and demanded that
it be taken to the people.
Wants People to Chocce.
"I should like to see those opposed
to the Eighteenth amendment pres
ent their alternative and let the peo
ple choose between them in an order
ly and proper fashion," he said.
Senator Biaine rep.. Wis. K an
opponent of the dry law. introduced
resolution for a substitute prohi-
bition amendment similar to that the
commission outlined. His proposal
would give congress the power to
regulatt liquor traffic, but not to pro
hibit. After the first storm of words sub
sided, congress turned back to its
burdensome legislative task. The re
port was sent to the judiciary com
mittees of the .house and the senate
with indications that it will remain
thert uii.il next session at least.
Chairman Norris of the sennte
judiciarv committee said he expec1
no action bv it at this session, al
though he will name a sabconimit-
;. p
.i,,,
tr study the Blaine proposal If
Wisconsin senttcr desires.
With the report went the letter of
' President Hoover. The presides!

He reviewed the general recom

"The commission by& large ma
jority does not river the rep.-ai

method of cure for the inherent
abut.es of the liquor traffic. I am in

duty and tbat oi all executive offi
cers is clear to enforce the law
with all the means at nu- disposal
without equivocation or reservation."
Of the commission eis. two a l ,
cated outright repeal of the Eight- If
eenth amendment, four nrged revi-
lafDn of the constitutional c.;:use and
jthe remaining five favored further
I trial and strict, enforcement. All
I of the commission except one, how
ever, joined in proposing strength
ering of enforcement agencies.
The commission opposed the return
ofj the saloon, or federal or state 11
! quor sale.
Oue of its members. Henry W.
I Anderson, presented a plan for fed
jerai controlled privately operated
jmercantile liquor establishments.
! Three members indorsed the idea,
and two others gave a qualified rec
ommendation that it be considered.
The commission opposed modifica
tion to permit light wines and beer.
I Widespread divesity of views as
,to the bent solution of the problem
jwere spread over one hundred pages
'of the full document, comprising the
11 reports of the individual mem
j bers.
I Standing flatly for outright repeal
of the Eighteenth amendment were
Newton D. Baker, of Cleveland, form
er secretary of war, and Monte Leh
niann. New Orleans lawyer. Tie
former' declared in favor of havinp
the "whole question of policy and
enforcement with regard to prohi
bition remitted to the states."
The four members united tor ear
ly revision of the prohibition lawr,
were Anderson, Miss Ada Comstock,
president of Radcliffe college; Dean
Roecoe Pound cf Harvard, and Frank
J. Loesch. Chicago attorney. They
would place on congress the task of
"cn-uiiiuui(, . .id n.t
Prior to presenting
his liquor con-
trol plan.
Anderson concluded that
prohibition "will not be observed and
cannot be enforced."
Conditions Condemned
Separately and collectively, the
menioers wiiueiiiuou ma:i ui liii
ditions under the dry laws whil
the same time noting Its bene
Tk declared better observance
members condemned many of the con-
while at
efits.
They declared better observance ana
enforcement imperative if prohibi-
tion is to survive.
With one exception, the whole
commission agreed that if the Con
stitution is to be revised, the best
way should be to strike out the pres
ent absolute banning oi litiuor and
to give congress the responsibiity of
finding a new solution.
! Anderson, however, went consid
erably Beyond other members in ree
lommending a definite system for gov
ernment liquor control to replace ab
solute prohibition.
Even in its majority report, how
iever, the commission looked with ;.p-
! parent favor upon revision of the
Eighteenth amendment. Likewise it
praised tne Swedish system, on
which Anderson's plan, in part, waj
based.
A major proposal put iorv.ard by
the commission as a whole v iu one
for strengthening enforcement. Tt
urged the number of federal dry
agents be increased by 60 per cent.
An increase of 100 per cent was rec
ommended fci1 the force oi prohibi
tion inve.-tigutors and special igents.
Other Beccaimendeiions.
Other recommendations included:
Revision of that part of the Vol
j stead act dealing with the manufac
ture of fruit juices for Lome use.
There would be enacted "some uni
! form provision for a fixed alcoholic
content." This would effect pres
ent sales of grape concentrate.1;.
Revision of the medicinal whisky
j clauses to remove "the statutory flx
1 ing of the amount which n..;y be
: prescribed and the number ox pre
scriptions." together with other
minor changes.
The commission dec!:. red : I was
! opposed to legislation allowing more
latitude for federal searchers and
seizures, or making the purchaser
of liquor subjeel to prosecution.
The report left the White bOWSf
at noon by messenger and 1 ) min
utes later his; pr sence was announc
ed in the senate. That branch laid
aside its work to hear the president :,
message of transmittal.
It was received a iev. minute later
ion the house side, where already r
l prohibition disnute was raging- in de-
J bate over the proposal to increase the
personnel
of the enforcement bu
