Foreign Editor, Scripps- Howard Newspapers
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 17.-That
our prohibition experiment" is a
failure is the growing conviction of
an ever-increasing proportion of
sober minded Americans.
But just exactly what we might
try next to further the cause of tenn
perance and healthy public morals,
which every good citizen sincerely
desires, has been advanced only in
general terms.
Purely as constructive Sugges-
ton, therefore, the following con-
crete outline is offered, based almost
entirely on the Swedish experiment
in liquor control which, covering the
same period of time as ours, has
been as conspicuous a success as
ours has been a failure.
l. Make the vitality needed re-
forms possible by the straightfor-
ward methods provided in the Con-
stitution ITSELF" of which Herbert
Hoover spoke at Palo Alto. Then
2. With one coup wipe out the
present scandals, chaos, graft and
corruption connected with prohibi-
ton by creating a. Federal liquor law
enforcement commission whose
members, appointed by the Presi-
dent, would be of Supreme Court
calibre, and above all suspicion.
3. Similarly abolish bootleggers
and all that dangerous underworld
of rum ring criminals and graft
ing officials by creating a National
Wine and Spirits Central, to take
complete control of the manufac-
ture. importation and distribution of
every ounce of alcohols in the coun-
try, including industrial alcohol.
4. Remove all incentive to push
the sale of alcoholic beverages by
removing all occasion for private
profit, making the National Wine
and Spirits Central a quasi-public
concern, operated on capital raised
by the sale of bonds to bear only 4
or per cent interest, no more and
no less.
5. Strictly subject to local option,
legalize the sale of light wines and

Washingtonians generally are
glorying in the prospect OF
Anthony ]. ("Tony") Plansky's
having cinched place for him..
self as an American decathlon
candidate, when he came
through in the Penn relays last
Saturday with total Of 7,142
points.
Plansky, as an ex-Georgetown
athlete, is not forgotten here
for his winning in 1925 and
1926 of the decathlon title in
the Pennsylvania classics of
those years, and although his
additional achievement in the
rain last week did not cinch
place for him on the American
team of 10-event men, it placed
him among the outstanding cam
didates of this country. The
Penn test is the most important
preliminary to the final try
outs at Yale, July a.
Plansky is now running under
the colors of the st. Alphonsus
Athletic Club, of Boston. With
hardly any preparation for the
Penn decathlon, Tony showed up
far above expectations of his
best wishers and fondest hopers.
He is still as good in his lest
events - the sprint, shotput,
javelin throw and 400-meter run
as he ever was. What is
more important to Plansky in
his attempt to make the Olympic
team is his showing in one of
his weak events-the pole vault.
In the big field that competed
at Philadelphia, Plansky was
second best, clearing II feet 6
inches, three inches short of the
topnotch figure. This was al
most a foot better than he had
ever done before, and boosted
his total about $50 points. His
total at Philadelphia was nearly
500 points better than the total
of 6,670 points that gave him
fifth place in the national
decathlon at Lincoln, Neb., last
July.
A comparison in Plansky's
1926 and 1928 decathlons shows
Improvement in the broad jump,
shotput, high jump. discus and
pole vault. The shortcomings in
the 400 : meter run and the
hurdles may be blamed on the
track, and indifference in the
javelin may be traced to the
rain. In the 1,5O0-meter run,
Plansky in neither case was ex-
tended, for he had the decathlon
won and was only called upon
to finish within reasonable time.

They included Fait Elkins,
