Small dapper Congressman William I. Sirovich of New York is one of the best showmen in the House of Representatives. An M. D., he has been known to line up a row of grisly exhibits across the Speaker's rostrum to impress upon his colleagues the evils of narcotics. He is the author of Ten Commandments to End the Depression. He is also the author of three plays. To the assistance of other playwrights and other showmen Congressman Sirovich rode full tilt last week...

New York's Representative Oliver, flaying Prohibition, declared the government's policy had "driven liquor from the bar to the boudoir, from the saloon to the salon, from hops to hips, from keg to kitchen." New York's Representative Sirovich, a physician, gave the House his annual demonstration of the effects of wood alcohol and other governmental denaturants on the human system. Members squirmed at his account of fatty degeneration of the liver. After three hours of riotous debate, the House refused to change the Treasury's methods of denaturing...
