REPEAL AT DOOR, U. S. SPEEDS PLANS TO CONTROL ‘TIDE’ Frantic, Last-Minute Efforts Are Pushed Forward for Government Rule of All Liquors. REPEAL COMES AT 1 TOMORROW Utah to Be 36th State to Ratify 21st Amendment; Pennsylvania and Ohio to Join in Last-Day Parade. By United Press Fourteen years of national prohibition neared a conclusion today with the federal government and the government of states that have elected to go wet, making frantic, lastminute plans to control the liquor flood gates when they are opened tomorrow. Three states—Pennsylvania, Ohio and Utah—tomorrow formally ratify the twenty-first amendment. They will be the thirty-fourth, thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth states to do so and the instant the last one acts, prohibition will be at an end.
Celebrations by the hundreds were timed to begin on the second. Utah's convention meets at noon (1 p. m. Indianapolis time) and is expected to become the thirty-sixth ratifying state within an hour, provided Ohio makes no effort to delay its action in an effort to be the thirty-sixth state. Ohio officials promised that its convention would act promptly. In Washington government agencies concerned with liquor control were swamped. The issuance of permits for liquor importations was taemporarily suspended pending a more satisfactory quota plan to govern quantity. The situation was expected to be clarified w’ith the return of President Roosevelt to the capital. It was expected that the brewers’ code would be submitted for his signature.
Repeal to Be Just Trickle for Hoosiers —That’s the Law
Hoosiers will celebrate repeal of the eighteenth amendment tomorrow at 2 p. m., in a rather meek manner, it appeared today. For the Governor’s liquor control commission is expected to recommend temporary rules this afternoon that will liberalize only slightly the present set-up.
Liquor only will be purchasable at drugstores for the present and the only pre-repeal change will be that prescriptions no longer will be needed. "By-the-drink” sales will be banned and the Rev. John W. Cavanaugh. chairman of the commission, is on record as saying that they never can be permitted under the present law. Bottle sales later may be extended beyond the drug store trade, however, it was said. A special session of the legislature may be necessary to change the statute, but Governor Paul V. McNutt has sought to avoid such a step. He did this in the case of beer by allowing draft beer sales, which were not provided for in the law, to be legalized through rulings of the state excise director. These rulings from the office of Paul Fry. state excise director, will govern the new liquor sales and probably will be changed from time to time. It has been predicted that a way will be found to sell wines and liquors by the drink, at least in hotels and clubs, when the public demand becomes great enough to exert sufficient pressure. Already, defiance has been heard from Lake county liberals who claim they are not going to be barred from buying a drink in Indiana when they can cross the street and get one in Illinois. Fear of return of the saloon is the primary cause of the present cauption, it was explained by Governor McNutt. That the saloon will be' back has been predicted by one-time Congressman Frederick Landis. Logansport. In his new magazine, the Hoosier Editor. Mr. Landis reaches this conclusion in an article entitled • The Old Saloon.” "They may call it a d?li<tessen. a lily of the valley, or a Venus de Milo, but it will be the old saloon,” he sums up.

Who Will Make It 50? Going —Going —Don’t Miss Your Big Chance
WHO’LL make it fifty?” Often you’ve heard a furniture auctioneer hawk in this fashion. The furniture crier dealt with chair-legs, sofa-arms. But this call of the auction room deals with legs and arms of children in the city's poorer sections who are in need of warm clothing for the ensuing school days. For today TWENTY-EIGHT children had been taken by Clothe-a-Child donors to clothe for Christmas. ‘‘Who'll make it fifty?” On up the campaign goes, and up and up goes the list of children, checked by Community Fund relief agencies and the social department of the public schools, and waiting for Clothe-a-Child donors.
a a a THE list of needy ones this year is different from other years. Widows, with too many mouths to feed, and men who never before have known relief ask for aid for their children. Food they have. The township trustee provides basket relief. Shoes are patched by the school board. -But clothing wears out. Relief agencies of the Community Fund can not make Christmas a special time to go on a spending spree. They must conserve their finances for the entire year to come. A donor to Clothe-a-Child enables the city’s relief agencies to spread their funds over a wider area. It is a gift at Christmas that comes personally from you to the child. 000 YOU are given the name and address of the child. You see the child in his or her home. You spend your money in your own way. The needs of the children differ. Some need so much, while some can be made warm with a coat, stockings, beret. Call Riley 5551—and ask for Clothe-a-Child editor of Times. You will receive name of needy school child, 5 to 12 years of age. Each child has been checked for need. Community Fund relief agencies provide the names of worthy children to be clothed. You clothe the youngster, or we’ll do it for you. That's your Christmas, the child’s, and that’s our Christmas. Your gift has the practicality of being warming, useful, long after you’ve lost the address of the boy or girl you clothed. But some of last year’s donors are calling by phone and wanting the same children they clothed in 1932. The attachment welded at another Christmas has come to help again. The Clothe-a-Child editor serves, if possible, to renew the thread of Yuletide between donors of past years and their Clothe-a-Child boys or girls. 000 BUT oddly, or maybe it isn’t odd, once a child is clothed by a donor he or she rarely requests aid, through parents, in ensuing years. They’re net selfish in Poverty Street, where Clothe-a-Child goes each Christmas-tide. ‘Who'll make it fifty?” You! Then call Riley 5551.

State Moves to Restore Tax Exempt Property
Several Million Dollars May Be Returned to Duplicates. First steps toward restoring several million dollars in tax exempt property to the tax duplicates in Marion county were taken today at a conference by state tax commissioners with Governor Paul V. McNutt. The conference was on proposal of Commissioner Albert F. Walsman that only property actually used for educational and religious purposes, and not property merely owned by such organizations, is subject to exemption under the law, and that all property improperly exempted be placed on the duplicates. Philip Zoercher. board chairman, referred to an opinion given by James M.

‘CZAR’ CHARGE IS HURLED AT DE PAUW HEAD Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam Under Probe by National Professors’ Society. CLAIM RIGHTS FLOUTED Academic Freedom Men- | aced, Instructors at State University Assert. Acting on charges that academic freedom is involved and that faculty rights have been flouted, the American Association of University Professors has launched an investigation at De Pauw university, it was learned today by The Times. Storm center in the recent R. O. T. C. controversy, Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president, again is a target because of his alleged czarist attitude toward faculty members’ dismissal and hiring and their privileges. The case which is reported to have brought to a head the situation at De Pauw is the dismissal of Professor Ralph Hufferd last June. Professor Hufferd, one of the three active American Legion members of the De Pauw faculty, was dismissed abruptly for “unjustified criticism of colleagues, administration and the institution.” Dr. Oxnam is reported to have refused to supply an elaboration of his charges, simply resting his case for dismissal on the blanket accusation. Denied of Privileges Although the Association of University Professors is the one inquisitorial academic body which voluntarily and independently institutes investigations, the current inquiry at De Pauw is reported to have been instigated by dissatisfied faculty members. They charge that Dr. Oxnam, in reorganizing the De Pauw faculty, has deprived them of privileges vested in the faculty by the charter of the university which was incorporated in 1837. Dr. Oxnam, it is alleged, no longer permits the faculty to meet in any administrative capacity, and last June, instead of sending the professors the customary contracts, wrote letters tentatively hiring them. Cite Ouster of Search Both moves are charged as in direct violation of the university’s charter. Critics of Dr. Oxnam’s regime assert that W. E. Search, former physical education head and a legionnaire, was dismissed a year ago last June for the same reason as that; cited in the Hufferd case. Two investigators for the association of professors quietly have been gathering information at De Pauw for two weeks. Roy O. West, Chicago attorney and former secretary of the interior, is president of the De Pauw board of trustees. Dismissal Is ‘Regretted’ Queried by The Times, Mr. West has asserted that he feels, regardless of what action may be taken by the association on the strength of its investigators’ findings, that Dr. Oxnam will have the support of the trustees and the Methodist conference. However, other trustees interviewed said they are in sympathy with the investigation and regret the summary dismissal of Professor Hufferd, (Next: Professor Hufferd’s record and history of his dismissal.)

the murdered girl, admitted he had given approval to the appeal of Chicago authorities for the exhumation. Dr. William E. Arbuckle, Marion county coroner, said two Chicago men had made an appointment with I him this morning, but unfortunately, he had been unable to keep it and did not learn the purpose of their contemplated talk with him. However, it was believed the appointment must have been in connection with the scheduled exhumation, as it is the coroner’s province to approve or deny exhumation requests when the body has passed through his office for burial. Beyond admitting he had given permission for exhumation of his daughter's body, Mr. Gardner would not discuss what developments in the Wynekoop murder case the exhumation plans Indicate. An effort was being made to keep the exhumation a secret temporarily. Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop, mother-in-law r or Rheta, is in Cook county jail indicted on charges of first degree murder of the former Indianapolis girl. Earle Wynekoop, the husband, also is held in jail, although no murder charge has been placed against him. Dr. Wynekoop ‘Too Weak’ By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Physicians reported today that condition of Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop, elderly woman physician, was too poor to allow her arraignment before Chief Justice Philip Sullivan of the criminal court on an indictment charging the murder of her daughter-in-law Rheta. Dr. Francis J. McNamara, physician at the county jail where Dr. Wynekoop is confined to the hospital ward, said his patient was very weak. ‘‘She attempted to dress herself," the physician reported, “but was too weak and dizzy. Her condition is such that she must not move from her bed.” Despite the absence of the defendant in court, Judge Sullivan assigned the case to Judge Joseph B. David. Dr. Wynekoop probably will be arraigned as soon as her physical condition allows. She is suffering from hardening of the arteries and has openly predicted she will not live to face trial. Judge David said it was possible he would dispense with arraignment of Dr. Wynekoop until the time of her trial. He is expected to set a tentative trial date tomorrow.
