I MODIFICATION OF LIQUOR LAW WILL NEVER OCCI’R ; j “It Is Here lo Stay,” Said Judge Gore at Nashville [ (By International News Service) Xa.Aivi.le, Tenn., Oct. 7. —Moditica- i tion of the prohibition aw will never 1 occur and rightfully should not. Judge j John M. (Jore told a federal grand’ jury here this week in his charge, j officially’ opening the fall term of the I middle Tennessee federal court. The judge was plain in his criticism j of the so-called non-believer of the prohibition act, adding Phat if the 1 courts, trial judges and attorney gen era s are honest in their endeavor the law can be enforced. "The prohibition law will never be repealed or modified," said the judge. "It is here to stay and rightfully should be." Judge Gore scored those-who tried to protect violators of the liquor laws iand prevent them from receiving pun ishment. Even clergymen attempted to protect wealthy members of Uieir congregations, he said, because of their liberal contribution to the church. The jurist called attention to a re cent visit o’ a clergyman who called upon his court in the interest of a liquor violator, adding that the min ister made a special plea on the grounds that the ofFemler was one ofv the most liberal contributors to Mis church. It is up to the governor to enforce | the prohibition law, the judge con-1 tinued. Failure, he said, would be | an admission to the Reds and 80l- 1 Shevlcks that other laws could not be enforced. The judge impressed upon the jury that he Mad no sympathy for the big , or "white-collar” bootlegger, who is a menace to the community and an enemy to the American flag, he said. 1 STEVENS AND POWELL MAY TAKE THE STAND 1 State Expected to Rest Its Cue Ear- J iy Thk ALernoon.—Legal Clashes Are .’Many.
