The pickets will sim ply display their banners and say noth- ing to any one. Picketing will continue through the convention sessions. The problem of financing the picketing, l1a~ hnfharfnO GnffYQR6 leaders, was solved today when Mrs c. B. Wood and c. O.

 In Committee
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 7.-Republican platform builders reported substantial progress to- day on tentative drafts with promise of committee as a result of preliminary work Group differences remained, but leaders of all factions said there were higher hopes of an entire harmony platform after the blanks are smoothed and the shavings swept out in commit tee.
 The League of Nations plank continued today to engross several groups of the voluntary platform construction corps Another difference loomed over labor policies. including demands for indorsins anti-strike and similar legislation. Set dement's of both. however. were pre- dicted
 The supreme courts decision on prohi- bition brought forth renewed discussion of a prohibition plank. Provibition advo- cates were planning to urge a strong en- forcement plank with declaration against any "beer and wine amend ments of the Volstead law. Many party leaders however, are disposed to keep the platform silent on prihibition with the possible exception of a strong law enforcement" plank which could be con strued to cover prohibition.

DECISION IS SuPRISE

Decision of General Pershing to re- tire came as surprise in army as we'll as in non military official circles in Washington. The prospective future detail of the American expeditionary force commander had never been an- nounced. but several times he had been mentioned in connection with the office of chief of staff
 The name of General Pershing as a candidate for the republican presi- dential nomination had been put for ward in the Nebraska and Michigan preferential primaries. but delegate from those states pledged to other can didates were elected. Political ob. servers at Chicago within the past few days. however, have mentioned Gen eral Pershing among the dark horses.
 The expeditionary commander will retire with the rank of full general, that title for life having been con ferred on him by Congress after his return from France. General Pershing will be sixty years old next Septem- Der and would not reach the retirement age until 1924.

The courts opinion, rendered by Justice Van Devanter. was sweeping It held that the amendment not only came within the amending power con ferred by the federal constitution, but was lawfully proposed and now was the law of the land While recognizing that Congress has limitations in re- spect to the enforcement of laws re- garding beverages. the court held these limits were not transcended in the en- actment of the enforcement act re- stricting alcoholic content of intoxi- cants to one-half of one per cent.
 STATE ACTS INVALIDATED
 While New York, New Jersey and Wisconsin acts permitting manufac- ture and sale of beverages of more than one-half of one per cent alco- holic content were not directly in volVed, the decision was interpreted as invalidating them. The court said the first section of the amendment of its own force "invalidates any legis- lative act-whether byeEongress, by a state legislature or by a territorial as sembly-which authorized or sanctions what the section prohibits"
 Concurrent power granted by the amendment to federal and state gov ernments to enforce prohibition. the court further held, does not enable Congress or the several states to de- feat or thwart prohibition. but only to enforce it by appropriate means"
 The decision of the court was set forth in eleven conclusions covering seven separate proceedings. These proceedings included original suits brought by the state of Rhode Island directly attacking the constitutional ity of the amendment
 The conclusions of the court follow

By Associated Press

Washington. June 7.-General Persh- ing will retire from active service within a few months. He announced retary Baker.
 The commander of the American ex- peditionary forces declared that he felt he could give up his military ice and thus be free to engage in something more active" The general did not indicate the nature of his fu- ture activities.
 General Pershing assured Secretary Baker that he would remain in the service until work involved in the car rying out of the army reorganiza ton act was completed. He gave the added assurance that in any future crisis he would be at the call of the nation.
 The generals letter to Secretary Baker was made public by Col. J. C. Quekemeyer. his aide. It follows:
 LETTER TO BAKER
 Dear MT. Secretary: Referring to our conversation of a few days ago. wish to say that it has long been my desire to return to civil life. Through out my military career I have been very much occupied. and the assign ments that have fallen to my lot dur ing recent years have been more or less important.
 Tt now appears that my duties are not likely to be of q character that will require more than portion of my time. Under the circumstances, l feel that after the completion of the work contemplated by the army reorganiza- ton act l should relinquish military duty without detriment to the service and thus be free to engage in some- thing more active.
 Therefore, unless a situation should develop to justify my remaining. I con- template taking the step indicated within the next few months.
 Should the necessity arise in a time of. crisis or otherwise. I assure you, Mir Secretary. that I shall stand ready to serve my country in the future as have in the past.
 With great respect and high es- teem, I remain. very sincerely.
