FIRST STEPS FOR

olution was taken today when at

a suit seeking TO enjoin Governor
James II. Cox Of Ohio from present
ing the prohibition amendment to
the Ohio legislature began the pre-
seGtatiOn Of arguments.
The plaintiff, Alfred C. Erken-
becker of Cincinnati, alleges
through his attorneys that the pro-
posed amendment is invalid be
cause it was not passed by a two
thirds vote Of both houses of con-
gress. The petition alleges that the
resolution on the amendment OBJ
tanned a two-thirds vote of those
senators and representative voting,
but that the law holds il must have
a two-thirds vote of the total mem
bership of both houses, which it
failed TO obtain, and therefore the
resolution is invalid.
