Washington, 5 (P)-With A record of three weeks of Prohibition hearings behind it, a Senate judiciary sub set out today to formulate recommendations as to the fate of 16 Wet and Dry bills. Measures ranging from tion of the Eighteenth Amendment to a referendum on the Volstead Act had precedence, but with the committee composed of four Drys and one Wet, the anti-Prohibitionists had no doubt as to the fate of their bills. Dozen Bills Put "Teeth" in Dry Law. The committee had before it more than half a dozen Administration bills designed strengthen the Act and to broaden the powers of the Prohibition forces in preventing smuggling both across the international borders and from the sea. While the Prohibitionists favor these measures on the whole, they entertain little hope of seeing any of them translated into law at this Nearly all of them carry provisions which the Wets regard as an invasion of rights guaranteed under the Constitution and they are prepared to wage long warfare against them.

Reed Prepared To Fight. Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, the one Wet of the sub-committee, who furnished most of the Areworks at the public hearings, is prepared to make a fight for some of the wet bills proposing modification of the Volstead Act and a national referendum on that law. Losing there, he will carry on his fight against the Administration bills and particularly against the proposal to give the Prohibition forces the right to search dwellings where there is a suspicion that liquor is being distilled for commercial purposes. Britain To Aid in War on Smugglers. Publication of correspondence between the American and British Governments, meanwhile, has disclosed that the conference which is to take place in London shortly to consider plans for tightening the bars against smuggling of liquor into the United States is a British rather than American idea.

The invitation was extended "as proof of the desire of His Majesty's government to give such assistance" as is possible "in the circumstances" to the American authorities in their effort to enforce Prohibition. Willingness of the British to prosecute smugglers on evidence furnished by American agents is expressed in the correspondence. It also gives details of rigid application of British shipping laws against vessels suspected of rum running. FRANK E.
