POWERFUL WET GROUP TO STEP INTO SPOTLIGHT Drys to Learn at Lobby Probe That They Face Formidable Foe. By Scrippif-flovard Xewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. April 14.—The drys may learn Tuesday that they now' face as aggressive, well-organ-ized. and well-financed wet group as the Anti-Saloon League. The wet organization, which has directors possessing a combined wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars, is the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, whose president, Henry H. Curran of New’ York, is expected to describe his organization’s activities before the senate lobby committee. Previous disclosures concerning the prominence of its leaders and their large contributions already have given concern to the prohibitionists, whose own forces have their efforts since the dry laws were enacted. Refusal of Curran to turn over certain documents until subpoenaed is regarded as significant by Senator Arthur Robinson of Indiana, Republican member of the committee. In other quarters it is known that the association would like to withhold data on the extensive campaign of propaganda and organization it has undertaken, not because it is in any way reprehensible, according to the wet body’s sponsors, but because they figure what the drys don't know won’t hurt them. It is known, however, that the association will spend at least sl,00C.000 this year for research, organization, and stimulation of interest in the anti side of prohibition. It also has had considerable success in forming state, city, county and community groups in almost every section of the country. The lobby investigators may find that the association has succeeded in amalgamating almost all the wet groups which formerly functioned alone and somewhat hap-hazardly. Experienced social and economic students have been engaged to prepare reports.

By United Press ¶ EAST ORANGE. N. J„ April 14.— Frank D. Crawford, 45-year-old wealthy real estate dealer, was in jail today awaiting grand jury action after confessing that he strangled his wife to death in bed after a quarrel. ¶ Police who were called to the home early Sunday, found Crawford in the kitchen calmly smoking while the body of his wife, Louise, 34, lay in the bedroom. ¶ Sleeping soundly in another room nearby were a 19-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son of couple. ¶ Crawford told the police he had killed his wife in a jealous rage, a mood which he said was induced by neighborhood gossip. A friend had told him, he said, that his wife was seen with other women in the town who were sometimes seen in the company of men not their husbands.
