Nominations, trials, and protests mark January news
Senate confirms Roy O. West as interior secretary to succeed Dr. Hubert Work amid a bitter fight. Hoover signals a wide ranging prohibition inquiry by a non partisan commission to study the Volstead act and enforcement challenges. Oklahoma suspends Gov Johnston, lieutenant governor assumes duties and a court hearing is set for January 28. Belgium honors Hoover with relief tribute via radio and telephone. Civil War memorial observances across the South mark January 19 to 21 with banks and offices closed. Secretary Mellon opposes a $25,000,000 boost for prohibition enforcement, citing risks of misallocation and lack of safeguards.
