BOILER ATTACKS HOOVER'S STAND New York, Aug. 20—(INS) Dr. Nich olas Murray Butler, president oi Columbia Cniversity and uncompromising foe of prohibition, today declared liis vigorous disapproval of Herbert Hoover's stand for enforcement, reaffirming his belief that the eighteenth amendment must be wiped out “if the constitution itself is to lie preserved and protected.” Continuing the fight he began more than a year ago to win the Republican party over to the repeal movement, a fight which he carried personally and lone-handed to the floor o fthe Kansas City convention after encountering overwhelming defeat in the platform committee Butler declared that “Anyone who is opposed to the repeal of the eighteenth amendment must then lie in favor of the only alternative, which is the continuance of the present reign of lawlessness, debauchery and govern ment-made crime." Coupled with tiis denunciation of Hoover's aece.ptance-speech utterances on the prohibition question. Butler, In an open letter made public at his Southampton, L. 1., summer home, also expressed dissent with the Republican nominee's stand on disarmament and world peace. o Comments Made On “LIMBERLOST DAY” By Noted Persons - - Bloomington.
