Only two passed, the other being Inspector David A. Davidson. Steckel's grade was 79.8 and Davidson's 79.4, includlg ten credits for military service.

The other four who survived the written test but failed in the oral test, which was conducted by the Civil Service Commission as' an examining body, were C.pt. L. J. Ammon, with 70.8 credits; Capt. W.

H. Behrendt, 65.7; Capt. E. R. Cato, 65.3, and Detective Lieutenant A.

Kallmeyer, with 69.8. Eleven applicants, including one civilian, took the wTitten test. Providing there are no protests filed, the Civil Service Commission next week will certify the names of Steckel and Davidson on the eligible list, and the Police Commission will make a selection for the permanent appointment of a Chief of Police. It was regarded as a foregone conclusion in City Hall circles that Steckel will receive the permanent appointment, since the test had been postponed for almost a year at the desire of the administration to enable him to prepare for the commission. Tests for members of the police department are getting too technical, according to the statement of Clifford Britton, member of the Civil Service Commission, in a statement to that body yesterday.

He pointed out that in the recent test for detective lieutenants seven of the questions could not be answered and had to be "It's getting so a man will have to take a post-graduate course in something to become a patrolman," he said. At -his suggestion the commission postponed for thirty days the test for police sergeants pending a conference on the method of grading. He contended that ninety-five credits for the written test and five for the oral would be out of all proportion. Under such a plan, he said, experience would count for little, while applicants fresh from school would have the advantage. 9 i WBWBIIIS MssMUMhT' Of 5.

"We call the attention of your honorable body to the fact that the supremacy of the business in the great harbor of the city of Los as compared with other cities on this coast and in the United States, is due very largely to the vast tonnage, both Incoming and outgoing, supplied by trie oil industry, and in addition to this the oil operators furnish employment for large numbers of our citizens and use and consume power, light, water and-. other items, furnished by, our public-utilities and by the city Itself, which represent vast volumes of money.

"It is. therefore, certain in our view that your honorable body will take all steps necessary to protect and foster, rather than to hamper and injure, a business of such great Importance to the prosperity oi trie community. This Is especially true in this era of depression aud unemployment. "May we respectfully ask your honorable body that no hasty action be taken in this matter? The oil industry has always been willing to assume and to pay promptly its civic obligations. Through the California Oil and Gas Association, we now offer to consult and co-operate with your committees and the City Attorney in reaching a fair solution of the problem which has brought forth the proposed ordinance."

AS WET IN PAST (Continued from First Page) not at stake ended hi March, 1929. The contestant did not win a prize. Taken from the text of his modification plan, the following observations were made by Mr. Young on his projected amendment to the Eighteenth Amendment: "No p'an as a substitute, for prohibition can be of any value unless it is legally possible of operation. This cannot occur so long as the Eighteenth Amendment remains in its present form.

Therefore, the plan must involve a modification of that amendment. "It is the purpose of the writer to suggest a plan by which the prohibitory provisions of the Eighteenth Amendment will remain in force with the modification thereof, however, to the effect that Congress shall have the power of regulation thereunder. If regulation should produce better results than the attempt at a full measure of enforcement, under the present legal situation, it should be satisfactory to the contending forces on both sides of the vital question, if a regulatory system failed to improve the situation, Congress could raise the bar to the full extent of enforcement provided by the Eighteenth Amendment. "The proposed modification would also leave to each State the power, if it so desired, to enact laws for total prohibition within its own boundaries. "Under the new scheme, the business has not been suppressed the habit has not been abated.

It is fair to presume that no matter what their personal views may be with reference to the prohibition question, the people will take into consideration the conditions existing before and wrought by the Eighteenth Amendment and in the light thereof, seek the best system possible under all the circumstances. "The difficulty with the new experiment is that it was not realized that it was an experiment and, as such, was incapable of enforcement by ukase. Congress was created by the founders of this' government for the very purpose of enacting experimental and regulatory laws to meet any situation that might arise, with the power of amendment, modification and repeal as experience required, always subject to the will of the people, OF CRIME" "The fact that the liquor traffic has been made illegal in all of its aspects is the provocative cause of graft, bribery, corruption, blackmail, bootlegging, hijacking arid crimes of various kinds, as they naturally fall in the wake of a blazoned trail of unusual and extraordinary profit. With regulation by Congress, this money profit would disappear and with it the offenses and crimes mentioned. "Under the plan suggested it Is believed that better conditions with reference to the traffic in and use of intoxicating beverages would exist than prevail under existing conditions, and the advance of temperance made possible.

The ever-present ability of Congress to enforce absolute prohibition would act as a deterrent upon a m.suse of the limited privileges extended under modified legislation."
