CODDINGTON RAIDING STAFF IN SYRACUSE TO SUFFER SLASH Order from Washington Applies to Entire Upstate District IS NOW INADEQUATE Enforcement Force Will Be Smallest in History of That Office (Special to The Binghamton Press) Syracuse, March 13-The Syracuse district, which includes Binghamton, will have the smallest prohibition enforcement staff since the adoption of the Volstead act as a result of the slash ordered by Washington headquarters for the entire upstate district. No decision has been received 8.8 yet by the Syracuse office regarding number of men to be dropped in the new economy wave, but it was announced in Buffalo that a reduction in the force is inevitable. There are now nine men working under District Chief George F.

Lee carrying on the work of enforcing the liquor laws in 18 central and northern New York counties. Dropping of even one man from the force will leave less than half an agent for each of the counties, the smallest staff ever charged with upholding the law in this district. Chief Lee announced he plans to continue enforcing the law to the best of his ability whether he is left with one man or all of them. The Syracuse staff has been reduced several times in the last few months and now numbers only about half as many agents as were ordinarily assigned to the office. The reductions have been necessitated by lack of appropriations, funds for the employment of agents having run unusually low.

There 1s no hope for any relief until the new appropriations become available July 1, when the new fiscal year of the Federal government begins. Meantime the most rigid economy will have to be observed all over the United States to spread the remaining appropriations out until the end of June. 11 NEW POSTMASTERS Notice was received at the Binghamton postoffice today of the appointment the following as postmasters: George E.

Tolley Is Guest of Speaker Longworth Eleven New Republican Members of Sixty-ninth Congress Are Entertained at Dinner in WashingtonEvent Has No Political Significance Washington, D. March Nicholas Longworth, speaker of the House of Representatives, had as his luncheon guests in his private dining room in the Capitol Thursday 11 of the new Republican members of the sixty-ninth Congress, among them Representative Harold Tolley of Binghamton. Tolley said that the meeting had 110 political significance, even though the majority leader, John M. Tlison of Connecticut, was present and outlined the pending legislative problets which are to be considered In carrying out the policies of President Coolidge. One of the difficulties which the present Congress faces is how to avoid authorizing expenditures which will exceed the prospective revenues of 1927.

This problem is complicated by the fact that there is no certainty of the amount of revenue which will be raised under the new tax reduction law. With measures pending which call for expenditures amounting to over $2.000,000,000, and with the necedsity of caution in authorizing expenditures, there are many bills which will not be enacted this acasion of Congress. Among the bills providing for increased expenditures, there two which seem to have enough support are, to secure action before adjournment. One bill provides for increasing the salaries of Federal Judges, and the other for Increasing pensions of Spanish war veterans. However, both of these measures Inay be amended in passage to lessen the expenditure.

Both Speaker Longworth and Leader Tilson agreed that this seaalon demonstrated the high level to which the House of Representatives could attain. Marital Bonds Severed by Decrees of Court Everett A.
