LIQUOR BUYERS ARE TARGET OF ' DRY SENATOR Sheppard Will Battle for Amendment to Punish Booze Purchaser. Bv Rcripps-TT award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The purchaser will be equally guilty with the seller of liquor in the eyes of the law before the present congress goes out of existence, drys predict. Senator Sheppard, author of an amendment to the Volstead act making the purchaser a law violator, aaid there was every indication that his bill would be acted upon favorably. The bill has been referred to the senate judiciary committee. Sheppard expects to confer with Senator Norris, committee chairman, in a few days and to ask early consideration. Sheppard is the author of the eighteenth amendment, which does not include the buyer of liquor, but does specifically name the seller. The fact that the buyer is not mentioned has raised the argument that Sheppard’s latest prohibition proposal is unconstitutional. Defeated In 1918 This is strengthened by the fact that an effort to include the purchaser in the prohibition amendment to the Constitution was defeated in 1918. Sheppard said he did not favor Its inclusion at the time because of expediency and because he thought It was already sufficiently a part of the act to make later legislation possible. The buyer proposal is constitutional for two reasons, Sheppard says. First, because the eighteenth amendment specifically prohibits sale and no sale can be prohibited unless the buyer is held equally guilty with the seller. Second, congress can legislate to carry out the provisions of the Constitution and the purpose of the eighteenth amendment is to stop the use of beverage liquor. “If by making the purchaser guilty with the seller the use of beverage liquor can be stopped, then legislation to that effect is constitutional,” Sheppard said. Would Tighten Law 1 Sheppard's attitude toward prohibition, as revealed, in interviews, is that the law' should be tightened gradually by congress until nationwide prohibition is an accomplished fact The eighteenth amendment was the first step and the Volstead act the second. The Jones five-and-ten law increasing the penalties for liquor violations was the third. Sheppard now says that the time has arrived when the purchaser must be made a law violator. Senate wets, including Tydings, Hawes, Coppland. Wagner and Walsh of Massachusetts, are prepared to fight the Sheppard proposal and to prevent a vote if possible.

SHIFT SENATE GROUP CHIEFS Johnson Will Head Commerce. Gould immigration. Bv Scripps-Ii award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Senator Hiram W. Johnson will become chairman of the senate commerce committee in the new allotment of committee posts now taking place. Senator Arthur Gould of Maine probably will become chairman of immigration. The last shift may be followed by interesting political consequences. Gould's term of office expires in 1931 and Maine is already preparing for a senatorial election next year. Gould has not announced whether or not he will be a candidate, but indicated he would not until the immigration chairmanship seemed possible. He is, however, interested personally in immigration problems and is anxious to play a directing part in connection with them. He is opposed strongly to placing Mexicans and Canadians on a quota basis: If Gould decides to seek re-elec-tion, he will make the Main contest a three-cornered affair. Representative Wallace H. White already has announced his candidacy, and Ralph O. Brewster, former Governor, is expected to run. Brewster was a candidate against Hale at the last senatorial election.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RUM SLAYERS ARE ABSOLVED BY DRY CHIEF Lowman Justifies Killing; Virkula Bootlegger, He Contends. Bv Rcripps-H award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The justification by Seymour Lowman, assistant secretary of the treasury, of the killing by customs agents of Henry Virkula of International Falls, Minn., on the ground he was a bootlegger, caused comment here today, especially since no liquor was found in the dead man’s car. Discussing the Virkula slaying, which aroused protests culminating in an appeal to President Hoover by the city council of the little town, Lowman said Virkula was a “wellknown bootlegger, and the agent shot, as he had a right to do.” Explaining this statement, which was made at a local church, the dry czar said the man had been convicted and fined for running a speakeasy in connection with his little confectionery store. “I guess that was why he refused to stop,” said Lowman. “He probably was afraid of ‘the law,’ as they call it out there.” Testimony at the time was that Virkula was slowing his car in response to the command of the agents, who had hailed him, while he was driving his wife and children home from a party late at night. No liquor was in the car, and there was no mention then of the man’s selling liquor. Local officials gave him an excellent character. The customs agents involved in the Virkula slaying, which was last June, have not been indicted. Their cases have been transferred from the state to the federal court, and they are awaiting action by the grand jury, wnich is expected to meet soon.
