WASHINGTON, March 2.— Prohibition leaders* tonight .gtill were undecided whether to urge action before adjournment of Congress on pending legislation on war time prohibition, which becomes effective on July 1.

In discussmg the matter today some prohibition leaders said that since President Wilson un- doubtedly would -call an extra session of Congress before July 1 it might be that no effort would be mrulp to have the pres- ent Congress act.
