HELEN KELLER SPEAKS IN BEHALF OF BLIND
---------------------
WASHINGTON, March 27 (AP) – Before an audience composed largely of the blind, Helen Keller, who brought herself out of the dark and silence of total blindness and deafness, today urged before the house library committee that branch libraries for the sightless be established throughout the country.
She urged passage of the Pratt Bill to extend the service to the blind now being given by the library of congress.

LOBBY PLANS INVESTIGATION
---------------------
Wet and Dry Inquiry To Begin After House Closes The Shoals Question
---------------------
WASHINGTON, March 27 (AP) – An investigation of wet and dry organizations is planned by the Senate Lobby committee.
Chairman Caraway of the committee said today the inquiry probably would begin as soon as the investigation into persons and organizations interested in Muscle Shoals was completed.
The Muscle Shoals investigation is expected to be finished next Tuesday with testimony by W. B. Bell, president of the American Cyanamid company which now has an offer pending in Congress to lease the government power and nitrate plant.
Caraway said the first witness in the prohibition inquiry probably would be Representative Tinkham, Republican, Massachusetts, who has asked to be heard by the Lobby committee.
After that, the chairman said representatives of some wet and dry organizations probably would be heard.
Definite plans have not been completed, but Caraway said the inquiry in all probability would embrace the Anti-Saloon league and the association against the prohibition amendment.
