CONGRESS FLAYS, DEFENDS DRY LAW ON 10TH BIRTHDAY
Prohibition Produces New Fury As Debate On Repeal And Modification Continues.
New York, Jan. 16— (INS)— Official statistics of tho United States Census Bureau today showed that in tlie flrst nine years ot Prohibition a total of 28,083 persons died of alcoholism.

Washington, Jan. l(i.—The halls of congress reverberated today with cheers and jeers as the tenth anniversary of prohibition produced new fury in the debate on whether or not Amer ica shall continue to remain legally dry.
In the senate, Senator Blaine, Republican of Wisconsin, one of the wet leaders, introduced a resolution to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment.
The house, meanwhile, in an unprecedented action, was cheering and applauding Speaker Nicholas Longworth for having rejected President Hoover’s proposal to create a joint congressional committee to consider prohibition reform legislation.
SHEPPARD IN DEFENSE
Rising in defense of the dry act, Senator Morris Sheppard, Democrat of Texas, father of the Eighteenth Amendment, delivered a carefully prepared address in which he declared that "prohibition lias come to America to remain forever.”
Debate ran the gamut of the emotions, with arguments over the attitude of the Bible on prohibition and numerous enforcement killings featuring the spirited exchanges.

N.C.P. DRAMA IS PROBLEM PLAYll

“Ghosts” Now Considered To Be One Of Ibsen’s Most Famous Works.
Barred from tlie stage for 18 months after it was written, •'Ghosts," by the well known Norwegian dramatist, Henrik Ibsen, has now come to be regarded as one of the most famous of that author’s works. The National Collegiate Players will present the drama in Bovard auditorium Friday, January 24.
"Ghosts" is written in an entirely different style from Ibsen's popular plays, such as “The Doll's House" or "Hedda Gabler,” but in its expose of conditions existing at the time it was written, it stands as his greatest contribution to society.
Although it is contrary to the custom of the Play Productions department, it was necessary to produce tho play during final examination week becauso of a conflict with the basketball schedule. The play will begin promptly at 8:15 and should be over about 10:45.
The cast for the play is composed of members of National Collegiate Players who have done considerable work in campus dramatics. The organization aims to present a play a little more ambitious and finished than the ordinary all-university productions, whose casts are usually amateurs, and it was for this reason that “Ghosts” was chosen as the annual play.
William Miller, manager of university play productions, will enact the leading role of Oswald, while Marjorie Temple will play his mother, Mrs. Alving. Pastor Manders will bo interpreted by George Lawrence, president of National Collegiate Players, and Jacob Engstrand will be played by Paul Kiepe. Betty Fennimore will be Itegina, Jacob's daughter.
Student activity books will be good for admission and seats will be on sale at the Students Store.

Vodka, Russia, Jan. 16: (To the Editor of the Daily Trojan): Russia, where vodka flows a little quicker and hair on the chin grows a little thicker, has passed a law making divorces easier to get than cinch notices. This city isn't so far behind the very wet Soviets, for just the other day, Mrs. Mae E. Pell won a divorce from her husband merely because when she was ill he insisted on playing the piano and beating a drum at the same time, as well as whistling and stamping on the floor.
Since when should artists be persecuted? Lovers of music should rise in frenzied protest of the judge’s decision. Let this go by unheeded and how will radio announcers, insurance agents, and college professors ever be able to keep tlieir wives?
Yours for sound-proof apartments,

Faced with the prospect of elimination from the conference race for hon- j ors, Southern California and Stanford vie for basketball supremacy tonight and Saturday evening at the Shrine auditorium.
Each team has lost one contest this season, Troy having split a tw*o-game series with California last week-end while the Cards took a heavy drubbing from the Westw'ood squad. Coach Sam Barry’s men are handicapped with unfamiliarity with the new system, and mentor E. P. Hunt appears to be without basket shooters.
NEITHER TEAM UNDEFEATED
Should the series be halved, either team would still have a poor chance to climb into one of the ranking columns by the end of the season. Both teams have a single loss marked against their record now’, and another early season defeat would be hard to balance, since each team plays only nine conference contests. A double defeat would write red ink across the hopes of either team, while a pair of wins would boost the other into a choice position.
Stanford is to be respected as a formidable rival with plenty of individual ability present in a squad headed by Hal Rothert and including Harry Berg, Fred Hawkins, Vance

Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 16—(INS)— Relief from the ravages of floods in the Mississippi basin was seen today iu approaching sub-freezing temperatures which, meterologists said, will partially check the torrents of water moving down from the upper watersheds.
Meantime the flood situation remained critical at a number of points in the lower Mississippi valley. Hundreds of convicts from the Mississippi state prison farm at Parchman were put to work to save the crumbling levee near Lambert, Miss., which threatened to inundate thousands of acres of farmland.
A number of points are being reinforced with sandbags In the vicinity of Big Lake, Ark., and laborers are working around the clock to keep tlie water from breaking through tlie levees Ten thousand more sandbags were sent to the Big Lake area today.

Higher Sugar Tariff Killed
Senate Rejects Increases; Insurgents to Wage Fight For Bounty in U. S.
Washington, Jan. 16 — (INS) — Protesting against any increase of the cost of filling the American sugar bowl, the senate this afternoon rejected all proposed increases in the sugar duties carried in the new tariff bill.
The vote was 48 against the Increase to 38 for it.
The senate's action stunned administration leaders. They had expected the result to be close, only Senator Watson, Republican of Indiana, the majority leader, having predicted the senate would reject all increases In sugar duties. The coalition leaders were never hopeful during the debate, both Harrison and Senator Norris, Republican of Nebraska, the insurgent leader, having forecast defeat of the former’s amendment.
On motion of Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, the senate approved retention of the rate of $1.75 per 100 pounds on Cuban imports as carried in existing law. Its action specifically rejected the house Cuban rate of $2.40 and the senate finance committee's recommendation for a Cuban rate of $2.20 per 100 pounds.
FIGHT FOR BOUNTY II had been estimated that proposed increases would add $54,700,000 lo the nation's annual sugar bill.
With the tariff question disposed of, the insurgents planned to press their fight for a bounty to be paid to American sugar producers.
There remained some doubt whether they would sponsor tho 75-lOOlhs of a cent per pound bounty, which they have suggested. This would amount to three-fourths of a cent a pound, about $1.90 a ton to beet sugar producers and $1.1(5 a ton to cane sugar producers.
The Insurgents will make their big light over a bounty of 44-100tlis of a cent per pound. This would equal the difference per pound between the existing sugar duty and tliat proposed by the senate finance committee. It would give cane sugar men 68 cents a ton and beet sugar men $1.12.
