Washington DC April 26 AP The senate prohibition hearing ends with mixed signals as drys push for stronger act amendments while wets claim victory. Rep LaGuardia proposes making Wayne Wheeler antisaloon director with power to enforce changes before year end, Wheeler declines cross examination to avoid wets’ tactics, and Wheeler disputes a reported million dollar fund, saying the league seeks 200000 for similar aims. The National Student Federation plans a poll of 600 colleges on prohibition repeal and beer and wine allowances.
