CONGRESS READY FOR FIGHT ON DR Y REFORM PROGRAM

PESSIMISTIC VIEW TAKEN BY LEADERS Tangle of Controversies Envelops Seven Bills Up for Action. • BORAH, NORRIS SILENT Big Stick May Be Necessary to Enact Slate Into Law. BY PAUL R. MALLOX t'nited Press SUIT Correepondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The full power of the administration may be necessary to force adoption in this congress of any considerable portion of President Hoover’s law enforcement reform program, congressional leaders were privately agreed today. A tangle of controversies has enveloped the seven bills in the house and senate so completely a big stick will be necessary if the full measure of the program is to be. enacted Into law. While the only public fvtdence of the congressional attitude has been conveyed rather by what has not been done since the program was submitted forty-eight hours ago, under the surface there is a gTeat deal of skepticism and pessimism. Borah Keeps Silent Senator Borah of Idaho, the outstanding senate dry campaigner, has has nothing whatever to say regarding any of the measures, and Chairman Norris of the senate judiciary committee, has indicated only the program probably will be taken up at the next regular meeting of his committee Monday. Only one bill has been introduced officially in the house. This is the Williamson bill, to transfer enforcement from the treasury to the justice department, leaving only the industrial alcohol unit in the treasury. This bill alone is expected to require considerable debate. Senator Tydings (Dem., Md.) has indicated he has accumulated statistics which will require several days for presentation if the bill reaches the senate. House More Determined The house leaders appear to be a little more determined to push the plans than the senate chiefs. Chairman of the house judiciary committee, a wet. said his committee would meet today to discuss phases of the Wickersham report, including the proposal to empower United States commissioners to try minor prohibition cases. The committee has held such a plan is unconstitutional, but in the light of the commission report may now take a different view, Graham indicated. Confusion has ai .>en among the house committees as to which bills are considered by each, and this situation also has tended to delay the program. Want Plan Delayed If for no other reason, the stupendous program of the senate will prevent action on most of the measures. Appropriation bills have piled up while the tariff hsa been under discussion and Muscle Shoals has been accepted as the next item of business. These three subjects would ordinarily require three months for disposal. and congress plans to adjourn in June in time for members to go into the congressional elections. Some of the drys and wets secretly want the plan delayed so it will become an Issue in the congressional elections. They would like to see the report fought out at the polls before final action is taken in congress. ISLANDERS MAROONED Fear for Safety of Forty Inhabitants on Lonely Spot. ft*/ l' nit rif Pr< PWLLHELI. CARNARVONSHIRE, Wales. Jan. 15—It is feared forty inhabitants of the lonely island of Bardsev in the Irish sea either are dead or dying of starvation as a result of tempestuous seas which have made it impossible for the weekly provisions boat to make its calls for a month. The food taken them on the last trip, made Dec. 15. must have been exhausted long ago. Anxiety is heightened because no replies have come from the island to signal lights from the mainland. mw f FOR Coughs and Colds % mlehty In sersiee Small In .Ire, reasonable in price Instant Relief Guaranteed E “Tells Its Own Story” for *ale at all flrt-clas drng stores Ji No Substitute | 50c I

6ANO3TS FORGE TWO MEN INTO CARJiET CASH Watchman Chases Robbers With Stove Shaker; Injures One. Two bandits in a conspicuous yellow roadster kidnaped two men Tuesday night and robbed them. One of their victims was taken from the side of the girl he was escorting home from a theater. Robert. Foster, Greensburg, employed at the statehouse, was forced into the yellow car by the two men who flashed guns as he was escorting Miss May Abplanalp of 2301 North New Jersey street, home from a theater. At New Jersey and Twenty-third streets the two forced Foster into the car and, ten minutes later, left him at Twenty-third street and College avenue after robbing him of $23 and his overcoat. William M. Moore of 2346 Broadway was kidnaped by the same men at 9:35. The two menaced him with guns near his home and forced him into the car, driving to an alley near Twenty-fourth street and Central avenue, where they robbed him of $7 and left him. John Traut, watchman at the Mockford Transfer Company’s office at 3037 North Illinois street, used a stove shaker to rout two bandits, injuring one of the two. The bandits entered the office and demanded money. Traut threw open the safe to show r no funds were in the office. The two attacked Traut and he grabbed a stove shaker, striking one of the bandits on the head. The two fled and blood outside the office testified to the fact one was injured.

M’LAGLEN HAS BEEN ABOUT EVERYTHING “Hot For Paris,” With El Brendel and Fifi Dorsay Booked to Arrive at The Apollo Saturday. THE wide world has been a checker board in the adventurous career of Victor McLaglen, farm hand, fighter, life guard, wrestler, coal miner, soldier and medicine show man, w r ho has brought to his film por- • travals the reality that only actual experience can give, in "Hot for Paris.’’ Fox Movietone picture, which comes to the Apollo, Saturday. | “Vic” has a rugged, riotous role as first mate of a wind-jammer | plying between Australia and France. With Ed Brendel as a buddy. McLaglen sets out for a hot time in ! Paree, where he loses his heart to a piquant French enchantress, por- | trayed by Fifi Dorsay.

Born in London, McLaglen spent his boyhood in South Africa where his father was a bishop. Victor, then 14, wanted to join the army but his family prevented him from fulfilling this inteniton. His kaleidoscopic series of adventures began in earnest when he fled to London and became a member of the life guards. Wanderlust next sent the youngster to Canada where pitching hay and milking cows, exchanging blows in the prize ring, medicine show's, mining silver and wrestling all comers i vaudeville constituted a life that most mer. would rate as colorful, but McLaglen pulled up stakes and started sox th. Hawaii, the Fiji Islands, Tahiti and Australia contributed their quota of excitement. Ceylon and Bombay beckoned and he was on his way. Then came the war; as a lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers, McLaglen was sent to Mespoptomia. After facing Turks and Arabs he received a captaincy. Later he was made provost marshall of Bagdad. Back to England after the World war, his next move was as an actor in "The Glorious Adventure.” His success in this picture led him to Hollywood where he appeared in fame for his characterizations of “Flagg” in “What Price Glory” and “The Cock-Eyed World.” Now he wanders only on the screen. In “Hot for Paris,” w'hich was w'ritten and directed by Raoui Walsh, McLaglen is featured with
