‘ON-THE-FENCE’ PLANK SOUGHT BY HOOVER, AIDS Anti-Prohibition Plan to Please All, Is Ambition. By Srrippi-Rnvnrtt Stwpapir Atlinnct PHILADELPHIA, May 17.—President Hoover and the Republican •■best minds" are trying to And an anti-prohibition plank lor adoption at Chicago which will satisfy the wet* and still not annoy the drys too much. The President, It is said, has not yet decided that it is politically expedient to abandon the ’ noble experiment" completely. These were compelling reasons lor the surprising action Saturday of the Pennsylvania state Republican committee and the Pennsylvania delegates to the National convention in twice evading any prohibition declaration. Most delegates came to Philadelphia confidently expecting to adopt a repeal declaration. Hoover Agent Present Confidential word soon was spread among them that it would be "extremely unwise" for the Pennsylvania delegation to adopt significant resolutions In advance of complete agreement, elsewhere, on the plank to be adopted at Chicago. Others were told that, President Hoover's hand “should not be forced" and that he would be "embarrassed” if the biggest Republican state in the nation demanded a wet platform. Another group argued that it * - ould defeat its purpose if Pennsylvania was too prominent in the repeal fight. In the background was Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican national committee and Hoover field agent, who had journeyed from Washington to counsel with the state leaders. Even former Senator William S. Vare, boss of the Philadelphia organization, ■who has for six years campaigned against prohibition, was persuaded that a soft-pedaling policy was better. Denies "Pussy-Footing" Senator Reed, regarded as the President's choice for chairman of the resolutions committee at Chicago. also advocated silence. Instead of delivering his anticipated speech recommending adoption of the Swedish system of liquor control Reed did not say a word publicly on prohibition. Later Reed indignantly denied that there had been any "pussy-footing” or steamroller tactics. Senator Davis and his campaign manager. Joseph N. Mackrcll of Pittsburgh, one of the delegates, were the only ones to disregard the hush-hush program.

Speed King's Son in Race

, ——

“ shade of Earl Devore!”

THEY say in “Gasoline Alley" at the Indianapolis motorspeedway that “speed" is born, not made—that the love of race track thrills is in a man's blood. That’s why the drivers and mechanicians assembling for the annual 500-mile race May 30 look on Billy DeVore (left) as a ‘born" speed merchant. For his father was the late Earl DeVore (right) who lost his life at sea when the 8 S. Vestris sank in 1928. Earl DeVore carved a lasting niche for himself in speedoms hall of fame. He was brave, resourceful, daring. And his son. Billy, just 22. has a tough row to hoe before they'll admit he's a "chip off the old block.” But aside, they say he'll do it. That* because he's a DeVore. And the pictures prove it. In the 500-mile race, Billy will be the riding mechanic with Leon Duray, king of all speedsters, and holder of the one-lap record

By Time Special WASHINGTON, May 17 —A flood of congratulatory letters and telegrams today poured Into the office (of Representative William H. Larrabee. Democrat, of New Palestine, praising him .or signing the peui(iion for a vote on the O'Connor beer bill. Encouraged by the response of his constituents in the new’ Eleventh Indiana district, Larrabee anI nounced today that he would go the . full length in supporting the program of the anti-prohibition forces hereafter. The support of the Anti-Saloon League in the recent primary was ; unsolicited. Larrabee said, declaring that in the campaign he had told the voters he was in favor of resubmitting the prohibition question to the people ior settlement by referendum at any time. Larrabee said, however, that he still did not like the Beck-Linthi-cum resolution for repeal, which he ! voted against a few months ago. His vote on the Beck-Linthicum measure aroused the opposition of the wets of his district, and he won the nomination only because they divided their votes between three opponents. "The people are under a misapprehension that the Beck-Linthi-cum resolution would have done away with prohibition overnight. It will take a long time to repeal the i eighteenth amendment.”
