WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—~After one of the sharpest debates in years, the House today approved a $15,000,000 appropriation ‘for en- the Treasury-Postoffice Depart- ment supply bill for the fiscal year 1931. Conflicting views on the pro- posal emanating from the Senate for a vote on prohibition ‘were ex- pressed today by House mé@mbers. The view that dry members were eager at this time to vote on the question because they were fearful of losing strength in the Congres-. sional elections next November was’ voiced by Representative La Guare dia (Rep.), New York, before tak- ing the Housé floor’ to renew his attack on the eighteenth amend- ment. \ On the other hand, Representa- tive Cramton (Rep.),; Michigan, one of the dry teaders, said he would not object to a vote “but the wets would not really want a test vote as it would show’ up phate weak- ness too emphatically.” . A fumbeér of other dry menmibers on pt Senator . Borah (Rep.), , had given ag of the ho ble, facing each other. ree over business affairs, . | a helping, himself to several} he became quarreisome.
