The Anti-Saloon League of America, in regard to the announced hearing on the Bryson Bill, H. R. 2082, for War Prohibition, issued the following statement January 6, 1943: THE PRESIDENT HAS FULL POWERS 1. The President, under his constitutional powers as Commander in Chief in time of war, as supplemented by acts of Congress, already has full authority to impose restrictions or limitations upon the liquor traffic to prevent interference with the war effort. An illustration of this is the order requiring the whisky distilleries to convert to the manufacture of ■industrial alcohol. j ' These powers should be exercised more fully to prevent waste and the mounting liquor abuses, and a distinction, should be made in the application by the government of prohibitions upon necessary commodities and activities as com pared with non-essential, luxury enterprises like the liquor traffic. 1 CONGRESS CAN AID IN BRINGING WIDER EXERCISE OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL 2. Congress can aid materially in bringing about this wider exercise of governmental power to minimize drink caused industrial and traffic accidents, absenteeism, and the waste of food, fuel, transportation facilities, electric energy, and manpower involved in the present widespread distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages. The friends of tem perance should appeal to Congress to take appropriate action to accomplish these ends. COUNTRY IS NOT READY FOR NATIONAL PROHIBITION 3. The Anti-Saloon League has not altered its belief that the people will ultimately adopt prohibition as the best solution to the liquor problem. But prohibition should be attained through democratic processes with the people back of it in substantial majorities. In our judgment, the country is not ready for national prohibition. In the present state of public opinion, with liquor legalized in 45 of the 48 states, too many difficulties of enforcement would be encountered to make the successful operation of national prohibition possible. UNWISE TO RAISE THIS DIVISIVE ISSUE, WHEN UNITY IS MOST NEEDED 4. Since the war powers already conferred upon the President are sufficient to enable the government to cope with unsatisfactory liquor conditions, we deem it unwise and unnecessary to raise the controversial and divisive issue of national prohibition at a time when unity is most needed. A decision upon such a far-reaching Federal policy should, in cur judgment, be left for determination after millions of men now in the armed services can participate fully in the decision. For these reasons the League is not uniting in the appeal for the enactment of war prohibition legislation by Con gress at this time. THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE OF AMERICA. By George W. Crabbe, General Superintendent. Edward B. Dunford, Attorney. ! MQTIT The above exact facsimile of the official organ of the Anti-Saloon U League cf America is made here so that the people of Nebraska may know the position of the National Organization with regard to bringing j up the prohibition question in wartime. Many sincere Nebraska people who do not use liquor or approve of its manufacture or sale agree with tRi« posi tion. They are not in sympathy with the proposal to return Nebraska to prohibition during the war, when unity and mutual confidence among all our people are so necessary to final victory. | THE COMMITTEE OF MEN AND WOMEN AGAINST PROHIBITION t Keith Neville, North Platte.

Tech. 5th | jrade Milton Groves of De Ridder, j Louisiana, was one of te few who thought of others. While driving his truck in convoy to a new camp site, the truck suddenly flared into flames. It happened so fast that no one was forewarned and no warning could be given. It appeared that a tragedy was in evitable, but acting with split second decision, Groves swerved his truck sharply out of line and plunged it over a steep embarkmnet into a near by river. Members of the convoy who rushed to his aid found him a bit shaken up but otherwise none the worse for his harrowing experience. By this heroic action, Groves pre rented the endangering of others in he convoy and saved the truck from somplete destruction. Tech. Fifth jrade Groves is the son of Mrs. Ai na Groves of De Ridder.
