'WET'ALASKANS ASK PROHIBITION Indian Attorney Pleads for Rigid Liquor Control WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 (AP)— The senate Indian committee heard today that Alaskan natives were "100 per cent prohibitionists—even when they are drunk." William L. Paul, an Alaska Indian and attorney, asked the committee to establish a rigid system of liquor control in the territory. He called the present system "legalized murder" of his people in southeast Alaska. "Those Indians drink whisky like beer," he said, "and they judge 'good' whisky by the way it burns when it goes down." "We know it is killing us," he declared, adding that "pretty near all of us are for prohibition." Carl J. Loman, Nome business man, suggested a territorial liquor monopoly to replace private trading.
