IMMUNE DRY LAW
LEGATION VISITED FOUR TIMES
BV BURGLARS IN SEARCH
FOR LIQUORS
WASHINGTON, May 19. (JP) —
Renewed agitation for withdrawing
immunity from, the prohibition
laws from foreign diplomats sprang
up as an aftermath of the attack
by liquor thieves on Dr. Don Carl
os Leiva, Charge D’ Affairs of the
Salvadorean Legation.
At the same time Dr. Leiva, who
was injured in a fight with the
intruders said he had reported to
his government that his life was
in danger here because of inade
quate police protection.
Senator Brookhart, republican of
Iowa, and a prohibitionist said he
was willing to join a movement to
forbid the presense of liquor in the
Embassies and legations. Repre
sentative Schaffer, a Wisconsin an
ti-prohibitionist said he intended
to ask a committee of the next con
gress to discuss the subject.
In a letter to Secretary Stimson
he said, “ It appears indefensible
for officials of the government to
permit violations of the Prohibi
tion Law by diplomats.
Dr. Leiva, in his report to his
government said the legation had
been visited by burglars four timeo
in the last four months and that
he was concerned over the safety
of his wife and himself.
The State d ep a r t ment an
nounced after an investigation said
that it was satisfied diplomats and
their property were being given ad
equate protection. Dr. Lei'va said he
did not care whether the United
States replaced the 17 cases of li
quor stolen from the legation but
that under existing conditions he
would be unwilling to permit his
wife to stay in the legation over
night. He added, “This matter, as
much as I regret it, I know has
become an international situation.
I trust it will be satisfactorily ad
justed between my government and
this.”
Dr. Leiva thanked Stimson in a
personal letter for the attentive
nart his department has shown.
