pected to clear the Brownsville port
sometime Wednesday afternoon on his
flight to Mexico to invite that
try's participation in the I%nterna-
tional Air Races to be held in Los
Angeles Sept. s to 16.
The official arrived here Tuesday
afternoon from Del Rio, following an
uneventful flight that took him by
way of San Antonio. He is accom-
panied by Charles Haldeman, official
photographer Of the association, and
George Desulles, mechanic.
The trio had planned 10 take off
from here at daybreak Wednesday,
but discovered that they would have
to have a permit from the Mexican
customs department to take their
plane across the border, and expect
ed to be held up here until late in
the afternoon.
They planned 10 fly from here 20
Tampico Wednesday. and make a
start from there to Mexico City early
Thursday.

plane making the trip in the shortest
elapsed time being adjudged the win
ner. A total of $4,000 in prizes and
numerous cups and trophies are 70 be
offered in this event, Mr.. Hull, said.
A total of 1925, 900 in prize money

will constitute the greatest aero
nautical exposition ever held any
where. It is his hope TO have more
than a million in attendance during
the nine days of the show.
In addition 10 the Pan-American
event, which Cuba and other South
American countries probably will en-
ter planes, a c-ross-country race from
Canada has been arranged. as we'll az
hundreds of different events at the
field.
The show is TO be held al Mines
Field in Englewood, a suburb of Los
Angeles. Hundreds Of acres sur
rounding the field proper, which Is
composed Of the regulation $40 acres,
have been secured for the show
period. the official said.
Possibility that he may fly to Cuba
and extend that country an invita-
ton to take part in the races was
expressed by Mr.. Hull Wednesday
morning but in all likelihood - will
return to California by way OF
Brownsville, he declared. He ex-
poets 70 remain in Mexico City about
two days.

Amend Amendment

"In accordance with the Demo-
cratic principle, some immediate re-
lief would come" he said, from an
amendment to the V'olstead law Civ
ing a scientific definition Of the al
cohoIic content of an Intoxicating
beverage.
1.-THE present definition admittedly
is inaccurate and unscientif1c. Each
State would then be allowed to fix
it's own standard of alcoholic con-
tent, subject always to the proviSo
that that standard could not eX-
coed the maximum fixed by the
Congress.
81 believe, moreover, that there
should be submitted to the people the
question of some change in the pro-
visions of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. Certainly no one foresaw,
when the amendment was ratified,
the conditions which exist today of
bootlegging, corruption and open
violation of the law in all parts of
the country. The people themselves
should, after eight years of trial,
be permitted to say whether exist
ing conditions should be rectified.
"I personally, believe in an amend
ment to the Eighteenth Amendment
which would give to each individual
State itself, only after approval by
a referendum popular vote of its
peops, the right wholly within its
borders to import, manufacture or
cause to be manufactured and sell
alcoholic beverages, the sale to be
made only by the State itself and
not for consumption in any public
place.
1--WE may we'll learn from the ex-
perience of other nations. Our
Canadian neighbors have gone far
in this~ to solve this prob
lem by the method of sale made by
the state itself. and not by private
individuals.

BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 23.-Gov
Alfred E. Smith, New York, accepted
the Democratic presidential nominal
ton Wednesday night in speech
laying down a definite program for
prohibition modification and urging
it's adoption on moral grounds,
First, he proposed changing the
VolStead act by increasing the legal
limit of alcoholic content of bever-
ages and by permitting individual
States to set lower limits or prohibit
all liquors at their discretion.
Second, he advocated amendment
of the Eighteenth Amendment to
permit States, by popular vote, to
adopt a system of State sale of
liquor similar to the system used in
Canada.
He pledged himself to strict en-
forcement of the Volstead Act and
the Eighteenth Amendment as long
as they remain on the statute books
and reiterated previous statements,
that he would not countenance re-
turn of the saloon.
He promised, if elected, to call an
agricultural leaders conference to
work out a farm farm relief plan. for
presentation to Congress.
81 believe in temperance" Smith
said. 1--WE have not achieved tenn
perance under the present system.
st believe in reverence for law.
Today disregard of the prohibition
laws is insidiously sapping respect
Cor all law.
He then presented his program for
changes in the prohibition law.

Prosperity Issue

The Democratic nominee chal-
lenged the Republican claim of
prosperity, declaring that Specific
industries are wholly PROSTATE" and
that 100000 men are out of work.
Likewise, he challenged the economy
claims, saying that actual Govern
ment expenditures were $346, 600, 900
more for the fiscal year just ended

year and that $685., 00Q 900 more were
