REPEAL PLANK IS ADOPTED BY BIG MAJORITY CONTINUED FROM PAGF? ONE ■ Tired finally, the delegates found ' ti.etr seats. Chairman Thomas J. Walsh obtained agreement to limit ‘ debate - so much on a side. The parade of notables began. Walsh is a big nun. Jlis voice is , big. Brandishing an admonitory , finger, the senator warned his fel- ; low delegates against avoiding the, piohlbitlon issue. He got a big i h; nd. The Immediate question now is t how we are going to get rid of pro-, I’.iTiltion and how soon," boomed W alsh into a barrage of cheers ’ The issue is repeal of the 18th I amendment or nullification. There is no middle ground. The time has come to realize that the 18th amc udment will never be observed and can never be enforced." Hull countered Walsh at once. He pleaded that repeal should not be made a political issue. He beg , ged the delegates to be content with I submission of the question to state . conventions minus any promise to j amend the Volstead act. Hull was booed and heckled but he battled | on in which obviously had become i a losing fight. How badly Hull was i beaten he probably did not realize | until his own state, Tennessee, j repudiated hi s leadership and plumped for repeal. 18 to 6. ' The majority report undertakes , tc make a part of the platform a pledge to repeal rhe 18th amendment.' Hull said. "If that is ad-1

opted and made part of the platform only those who can subscribe to It can be classed as goo< Democrats. The question would be ore's loyally to that plank In the platform." He said the minority "submission" plank was "wetter than the wettest minority report offered in the Republican convention by Senator Bingham." Senator Robert J. Buckley. 0.. hud a few minutes. He got his cheers and retired. "The next speaker for the majority plank is Governor Alfred E. Smith." announced the chairman. Red-faced and smiling. Smith stood behind Wa'sh. Delegates glimpsed the "Happy Warrior." Not all but most of them got up. They yelled. They screamed. They marched. They stood on their chairs. Smith's smile became wider. He tumbled his vest buttons and grinned some more. It was the loudest and heartiest demonstration or the convention so far. Smith liked it. But he waved the crowd to silence. "The fact." said Smith, “that the Senator (Cordell Hull. Tenn.) only found out in the last three days that there was sentiment in this country for repeal is just too bad. There is nothing the convention ran do about it but extend sympathy." “Good o’d Al," approved someone from Illinois. "If there is anything in the world that people dislike it is those people who make out to be wet when hey are among wets and dry w hen they are among drys.

"Hoover took that position.” Smith laughed at the qdminls-| use of the Wfekersham I commission report and the convention laughed with him. "A week ago," Smith continued, ["the Republican convention met in .this hall. I promised myself to listen to it on the raddlo." .Mention of that famously mispronounced word set the convenItlon off for another minor demon's! rat ion. Smith told them he :couldn't listen to the Repub'lcans .beyond the speech of the temper!ery chairman. To Hull's plea that a party should I take no stand for or against sub- ! mission of a constitutional issue. [Smith recalled the income tax and [direct election of senators, suggesting that Senator Hull had thought differently with respect to them. .Maury Hughes. Texas, was scheduled to speak for the moderates. He changed sides on the speakers’ platform as he was being Introduced. "For God's sake Maury," shouted a disheveled Texan from the floor below, "don't do it. We just voted repeal.” Hughes announced thnt fact from the platform and, joined the wets. He said Texas took her stand from Garner. To Governor Albert C. Ritchie. Maryland, were assigned the closing words for repeal. It was late. Ritchie started once to leave the platform during the long speech of M . C. Fitts whose anti-repeal logic antagonized the galleries into heckling. The Marylander stayed but ihe knew the crowd was .tired of

the studio already is preparing a vehicle against her return. It is another idea from the prolific Edmund Goulding. who dashed off the' plot in spare moments on the set. Eddie calls his story "Lost.” Opening in the stock yards district of a great city, it relates a girl’s conquest

of sordid environment , As Goulding is busy directing , Marion Davies, the job of preparing , the screen treatment has been given to Becky Gardiner. Meanwhile Joan and Doug Fair- . banks, Jr., are preparing to leave ■ here for a six weeks vacation in Europe. It is that trip they have ■ been planning so long and Joan tells , me she can hardly wait to start. Both she and Doug. Jr., will see , their new pictures and. if there are | no retakes, will grab the first train 1 to New York. They plan to sail : either on the Bremen or the Ma- , jestic. On their itinerary are visits to England. Paris and. if they have time, to Rome. Several days will be ' spent at Noel Coward’s country I place. Other friends whom they I expect to see are Ivor Novello and . Heather Thatcher, the English act-1 ress, who was in Hollywood until a few months ago. Joan tells me she ' will try to persuade Heather to come back with them for another try at a screen career. Way back before the crash. Leo McCarey bought some stocks and . put them in a safety deposit box at a Hollywood hotel. Then the bot- ' tom dropped out of the market and he tried to forget them; in fact he even lost the key to the box. The other day the manager of the hotel called up and said he could have another key made for a dollar. “Don’t make me laugh.” flipped Leo. “who’d put another dollar in that stock?” BOULEVARD TALK: Anna Sten, who United Artists contends will be another foreign sensation, is married to Dr. Eugene talk. He threw away his speech, i said it was late. He got cheers and applause but there was uo parade ! in honor of Maryland’s favorite son. He reminded the convention that he had been for repeal 12 years ago. He stressed state's rights and taxation and temperance. "If national prohibition were repealed and state control substituted," he said, "the federal revenues thus derived would give infinite relief to the over taxed people.’’ Hawaii obtained two minutes to propose home rule for the islands. William G. McAdoo offered a minority report for a form of federal guarantee of bank deposits. Governor William H. "Alfalfa Bill" Murray presented half a dozen planks and amendments, including immediate cash payments to veterans. But all these matters were passed over until the after-

Murray stood easily before the microphones and offered the convention as clear a speaking voice as it has heard. "I say to you that the cry Hoover has failed will not suffice for the voter.” Murray said. “I say that next winter will be worse than the last and the winter after that may be still worse.” Murray proposed aid for independent oil operators, remonetization of silver and a moratorium on farm and home moitgages. There were other speakers. The crowd was not anxious to hear them. It wanted the opportunity to vote. Haltigan began the roll call. Alabama split 21 to 3 against outright repeal. Arizona was unanimous for the wets. Down the roll went Haltigan. There was dispute in Idaho. Delegates were
