JIATE DOWOGRATS CATHER FOR MEET

MARY - NORTON, CONGRESSWOMAN OF NEW JERSEY, IN CHALLENGE TO DRY FORCES

Amendment Should Not Be in Constitution Without Direct Approval : Of Popular Will

A challenge to srys to allow the national referendum on prohibition was issued at the house judiciary ecom’mittee's_‘prohibition hearing today by Mrs. Mary Norton democratic congress woman from New Jersey. S Mrs. Norton urged adoption of her resolution providing for a plebiscite on the proposition of repealing the 18th amendment declaring that “the amendment should not remain in the consitution without the majority approval of the people.” - “The drys express confidence that an overwhelming majority in the United States favors the 18th amendment,” Mrs. Norton said, “If so, why should they not welcome this as a test? f . :

“Why should they not welcome direct approval of the 18th amendment by the people themselves the approval which the. people heretofore i.ave not had an onportunity to express?” : . Mrs. Norton defended the constitutionality of her resolution, which has been challenged by some on the ground it prescribes a new way of amending the constitution. She pointed out that a two-thirds vote of congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states would be required to pass her resolution, ; One adopted, the resolution calls for a national referendum which would automatically retain or repeal the 18th amendment, depending upon the will of the majority. e “My judgment is that the question of federal prohibition will n2ver be settled, until we provide a :say for its settlement by the people,” Mrs. Norton said. - - e

“If the people of the United States should repeal the 'lBth amendment the power will be restored.to each state to follow its own policy in. reference. to this question.” =

Mrs. Charles H. Sabin former republican national committeewoman from Wew York advocated outright repeal of the 18th amendment. / “Many women favored prohibition at the time it was adopted,” Mrs. Sabin said. “They thought it would prevent drunkenness, from which many of them had suffered indirectly. But they found that it would fail to accomplish what was expected cf it.”

OPPOSED TO PROHI LAW 6. A. R. Heads Clte Fugitive Slave Law as Example of Refusal of ‘ People to Observe Statute

| American prohibition laws in 1930 have reached a state similar to that of the fugitive slave law in 1860 and should be repealed or modified as they can never be enforced, Charles E. Hale state G. A. R. commander and A. B. Crampton adjutant believe. Their views are expressed in an interview appearing in the Indianapolis Times. “Members of the Grand Army” Hale is quoted “are always in favor of enforcing the laws and obeying the con-' stitution. We are veterans of a bloody war to save that coustitution and the union and we are anxious to see that it is destroyed from either within or without. 1 ' ‘ ~*“Butu when a law is unenforceable it is unworthy to be on the statute books and should be repealed.” = Crampton is quoted as branding the prohibition laws “silly.” Crampton is 87 year old and Hale is 82. =
