LEGAL BEER AT 1 ONCE IS URGED BY DELEGATES Pol! of Platform Group of; Democrats Indicates Modification Trend. The question of repeal of the eighteenth amendment has dominated parliamentary discussion oi the liquor question but on Main street the average man is asking “What about beer?" The anti-prohibitionist wants to know if he must wait for the slow process of repeal before the breweries can open . The prohibitionist wants to know whether he must fight a modification of the Volstead act while he. at the same time, is battling to prevent removal from the Constitution of the eighteenth amendment. In rural sections, those not opposed to liquor in all forms, are arguing that opening of the brew- j cries would give employment and would consume large quantities of the farmers' grain. Those who favor liberalization of the liquor laws are saying beer would j furnish a quick and prolific source for collection of additional taxes. United Press correspondents, now making trips through v arious sections of the country sounding out the opinions of the “man on the street." find beer and the immediate modification of the Volstead act under widespread discussion. They also find the people asking j the question: “If the eighteenth 1 amendment is repealed will the control of liquor traffic be returned to the states." The United Press submitted to the thirty-one members of the resolutions committee of the Democratic national convention, thus far selected. questions designed to bring out their views on these subjects. The results, which give light as to the expected answers of the Democratic convention to questions being asked by voters, are given in the following story: Beer Sentiment Strong BY MORRIS DEHAVF.N TRACY I'nitrrt Pre** Staff Cnrrf *nnnd^nt iConvrteht. 1932. bv United Press! CHICAGO, June 22.—There is considerable sentiment on the resolutions committee of the Democratic national convention in favor of an immediate modification of the Volstead act to permit the manufacture j and sale of beer. This sentiment was revealed by i answers to a United Press question- , naire submitted to members of the committee thus far named. The questionnaire asked: Do you favor modification of the Volstead act to permit the manufacture of beer? Nine Favor Legalized Brew Twenty-one replies have been received thus far. Os these nine were unqualifiedly in favor of congress legalizing im- I mediately the sale of beer. Four were of the opinion that it could not be done constitutionally. One was opposed on other grounds. Seven did not commit themselves definitely. In most cases the replies specified the beer should be of low alcoholic content—4 per cent or less. Furthermore, if the seven mentioned, four were unqualifiedly in favor of repealing the prohibition law, and one favored submission of the eighteenth amendment to the states—an indication of anti-prohi-bition leanings, even though they did not commit themselves upon the question of immediate modification. The “man on Main street,” who represents a vast body of voters, asks whether the liquor traffic will he returned to state control should the eighteenth amendment be repealed. Seven Favor State Control Seven of the committee members expressed themselves in favor of state control. Fourteen made no expression on the point. None expressed any belief that, should the eighteenth amendment j be repealed, the federal government should retain control of the liquor traffic beyond regulation of the interstate commerce. Replies of committee members on the beer question in summary form are as follows: Favorable to legalizing sale of beer: .1. R. PfifTner, Wisconsin—The Volstead act should be amended to permit the sale of 4 per cent beer, but it should be taxed so as to increase governmental revenue. W illiam A. Comstock, Michigan— The Democratic party should advocate the modification of the Volstead act to permit the regulation and highly taxed sale of 4 per cent beer. Michael I. Igoe, Illinois—The Democratic platform should favor modification of the Volstead act to j permit the manufacture of 3 per ! cent beer. Modification Asked Senator Robert J. Bulkier, OhioPending ratification by the delegation of hi* appointment to the com- | mittee he would not permit direct quotation, but he has voted consistently for programs calling for legalization of beer subject to taxation. Senator Wheeler, Montana I favor modification of the Volstead act to permit 2.75 per cent beer and would tax it for revenue. Senator Key Pittman, Nevada He refused to permit direct quotation, but consistently has voted for beer throughout the present session of congress. Herbert E. Holmes. Maine—Pending repeal, congress should fix the permitted alcoholic content at a sensible percentage. James P. Leamy, Vermont I favor modification of the Volstead act to permit the sale of beer and wine pending repeal. William E. Thoms, Connecticut— The Volstead act should be modified by congress to permit the sale of beer and light wines within a reasonable nonintoxicatmg alcoholic content, as is entirely within the powers of congress. Unfavorable to Change Unfavorable to the legalization of beer : Joseph C. O’Mahoney, Wyoming Modification of the Volstead act or permit beer without changing the Constitution would be both dishonest and ineffective. Joseph K. Carson Jr. Oregon— Modification is improper under the eighteenth amendment. Senator King, Utah—l do not be- j

NO man can look forward to the 1932 election campaign with certainty or even any confidence as to what it will bring forth. * Herbert Hoover’s political fate will hang in the balance and it may be decided by developments in what possibly will be. the most extraordinary if not the most critical period of the nation’s history. Reports of increased unemployment and growing unrest follow many vague rumors to the effect that Hoover, after the adjournment of congress, will propose some sort of “coalition” government as a means of meeting the economic emergency. And there is a common belief that the Hoover re-election campaign will be based on a cry that the government must be preserved. that Hoover is the captain who can bring us through the storm, that the Republican party is best fit to rule, that we must not change toboggans in the middle of the slide or, if you prefer, canoes while going over Niagara Falls. The outlook is more cloudy than alarming, but until the business recession is halted, poltical developments will be increasingly predicated on the depression with prohibition and other Issues subordinated proportionately. tt u ONE thing quite clear is that both candidates and both parties will go to as great lengths as they think necessary to win the election. Obviously to the degree in which Hoover and the Republicans believe themselves likely to be defeated by popular anger at the administration's failure to prevent or alleviate depression and unemployment, they may be depended upon to take strong measures to save themselves. That's where the rumors of

Here is a story, said to be different in every particular from anything done before. Its backgrounds are the Austro-Italian front where armies representing these two countries held each other in deadlock for two years. Most of the fighting occurred above the clouds among the peaks of the Tyrolean and Dolomite Alps. Sweeping snow-slides, avalanches, ice and intense cold killed as many men as the guns. Whole regiments of soldiers on skiis sweeping down the mountain to the attack at a seventy-mile-an-hour speed is one of the many starting sights of the new r film. In the midst of all this a most beautiful love story in which a man’s love of country and honor are pitted against his love for wife and child. The entire picture, it is said, excepting a few r cabin scenes, were filmed high in the Alps mountains.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

n i President Hoover Shown in Recent Picture on One of Rare Walks Permitted Him by Pressure of Work

| suggestions as (1> a body of ■ financial, industrial, and agriculi tural representatives to work out important national measures with the President; (2) a setup which | w'ould more resemble a temporary dictorship; and (3) promises to take important Democrats into the government. Hoover w'ould describe any such plan as a desperate, but statesmanlike measure to save the nation, but the Democrats surely w'ould brand it as a political stunt to save Hoover’s skin. Much less speculative Is the likelihood that Hoover will campaign as the man who has saved us from the worst, who has by superhuman efforts kept us on the gold standard and who alone can do the job for us in the future. MMM BOTH candidates are going to appeal to the unemployed and their sympathizers. The Democratic candidate will make the most direct appeal. Hoover will cite his past reconstruction measures, including the recent administration unemployment relief measure, and undoubtedly will present new plans for the future. All doubt whether direct federal relief would be an issue in the presidential campaign was removed when leaders of both parties made a last-minute jump in that direction in congress, after holding out stoutly against it for many months. Most politicians believe the presidential candidates will be under an unusual amount of pressure designed to elicit from them ! specific declarations on various issues. Since both Hoover and Roosevelt (if he is nominated) have 1 conspicious records as tightrope walkers, their campaign speeches I and statements will be w'atched i W'ith interest. Most observers believe that Mr. Hoover at last will be smoked out on prohibition—an issue on which he never has actually de- ; dared himself. A wet tide has been rising in the last four years and there is no | longer any doubt that such states | as New' York, New Jersey, Massa-

chusetts, Ohio and Illinois are wet. Mr. Hoover will have to carry* most of those states to win. Some indication of Hoover’s present views may be obtained from the Republican prohibition platform plank at Chicago. But 1 the demand for a personal utter- | ance will continue and economic issues are not likely to bury it so completely as to make it possible for Hoover to escape answering. The President may resort to some form of a straddle, but he at least will go further toward expressing himself than he has before. m m m NOT much has been heard lately of war debts, but they are fairly certain to pop up importantly during the campaign. The Hoover moratorium is in effect for a year which ends next December. The official attitude is that both debt and reparations payments will be resumed at that time. Actually, hardly any one thinks that they will be resumed, and there are many who don’t believe any more debts or reparations ever will be paid. Hoover has said there will have to be some “readjustments'* and congress has voted overwhelmingly against any consideration of further revision. Anti-Hoover sharpshooters are expected to open up on this phase and there’s no telling to what proportions th e debts may rise as a campaign Issue. One of Hoover’ss jobs will be to defend the tariff. In the west he must defend his record on farm relief. His record on power is reasonably sure to become an issue in case Roosevelt, w'ho is endorsed by Progressives for his stand, is nominated. * n * THE Hoover campaign will suffer, it appears now, from a dearth of both money and highpowered campaign speakers. The party treasurer recently estimated that the campaign would have to be waged on about a million dollars. The Democrats aren’t likely to be much better off financially, however, especially since most of the “big money” Democrats are not so fond of Roosevelt. Latest belief is that Senator William E. Borah of Idaho will not go on the stump for Hoover this year, although you never can tell about Borah. Os course, Charles Evans Hughes, the other big gun orator of 1928, now is chief justice. Bereft of Borah and Hughes, with Charles Curtis as his running mate—not a star speaker, now 72 and sunk further than ever into obscurity—Hoover will have to be responsible for most of the really big speeches. The cabinet members and other prominent Republicans who will be stumping for him are not yet impressive as top-grade national figures, with the exception of former Vice-President Dawes, who knows how to frighten people. Secretary of the Treasury Mills, Secretary of War Hurley and the other cabinet members will be on the job, however. Senator Dickinson of lowa, the Republican keynoter, probably will be the chief Hoover speaker in the farm states, with some help from Secretary of Agriculture Hyde. THE END.

straight-forward plank advocating repeal, many believed here today. Supporting this belief are two things: 1. The recent surge of public opinion toward the repeal side, oc- ; casioned in part, at least, by the j Republican prohibition straddle i plank: and 2. The recent Scripps-Howard poll ! shoa’ing 417 delegates to the Chicago convention, excluding Texas. j forty-six, as being already for reI*' a1 ’ Indicative of the reception which the Texan’s declaration received here in many quarters was the statement by Representative McDuffie of dry Alabama, the Democratic whip, who said he believed there is “sentiment in the country to justify submission of the straight question of repeal.” Such ultra-drys as Senator MorIris Sheppard (Dem.. Tex.t were shaken, although the diminutive coauthor of the eighteenth amendment said he would continue to

support the speaker for the Democratic presidential nomination. “He is sound on all other issues, - Sheppard said. Garner's attitude also adds strength to the sentiment here that Democrats must go further than the Republicans. His two-page platform, issued just as he returned to the capitol from a long and serious siege of bronchitis, was intended more to affect his own personal political (ortunes than sway his party on prohibition. And Garner, undoubtedly. has strengthened himself: he has become a more formidable dark horse, but remains, "nevertheless, just a dark horse. Several of the speaker's supporters here said privately they thought it was a “good statement.” but too late. If he had declared himself a month ago. they contended, some elements of the stop-Roosevelt movement would have had another rallying point. /
