Mallon 1 (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, April 13.—Drunkenness Is more widespread now than in the days of the open suloon, Stanley Shirk, research director of the New York moderation league told the senate prohibition investigating committee today. ’ Opening the final stage of the wet c;.sV. Shirk revealed results of his national survey showing arrests for drunkenness had Increased in 457 representative places from 250,000 in ' 1920, to 550,000 in 1924. Every state in the union was represented in the survey which Shirk concluded: 1 “When we consider that drunken--1 ness generally has already increased to the pre-prohibit ion level and that drunken drivers and drunken children have increased far above anything ever known before in this country, ’ we cannot escape the conclusion that the Volstead Act has utterly failed to do what it wa sintended to do. namely, promote temperance and sobriety.”
