Anti Saloon League was charged to-
dny with being a representative of
big business instead of the Christian
churches. in tin cpl-n letter sent to
members of Congress by the joint
legislative committee for modifying
tho Volstcnd act.
The committee charged that the
league had "broadcast" that it con-
trolled Congress. and urged Congress
to investigate when the money for
the league came from. it quoted
from a letter signed by S. S. Krensge,
chairman of the Minufacturer and
Business Committee of the league,
with the remark that it showed the
league to represent “big business for
selfish purposes only—to help them
to make more money." as Kresge
paraphases. "by hoping the liquor
bloodsucker off decent trade." Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel of the
league. was charged in the letter
with trying to block "every move-
ment to expose the corrupting in-
finances in prohibition enforcement."

NEW HAVEN. March s.-—4Reasons
for failure in college. according to
Roswell P. Angler. dean of fresh-
men at Yale include lal‘k of proper
stimulus toward intellectual awak-
ening prior to coming in college. urt-
due exaggeration of the importance
of athletics and reaction from pre-
vious home or school restrictions.
The question is discussed in the
dean's annual report made public
today. Says the dean:
“The attitude at home of school
may be one of merely ranching the
youth to get off examinations in-
stead of striving to awaken him in—
telicctuully.
“If a home environment. regard-
less of what is explicitly said,
prompts a boy to feel that athletics
are a major pursuit instead of a
secondary interest he will carry this
habit of mind into college to his det-
riment. If n school throws insistent
emphasis on athletics and on its
prestige therein. the same results
follow.
“it is a fairly safe generalization.
but not without exception, to say
that the more restrictive the home
and school. the less well prepared are
their boys for the freedom of college
life.‘
