HOOVER PLANS
PARTY RETURN
Addresses Looked Upon
AS Broadsides With
Political Intent

WASHINGTON. September 4-tP
Viewed generally as the opening
Of President Hoover's campaign for
return Of his party TO power in con-
gress In the fall and for his OWL re-
election two years hence, his &C
ceptance Of invitations TO make four
addresses early in October was wide
ly ~speculated upon today in the cap
ital.
Marking as 1t does a sharp de-
parture from the policy Of his pre-
decessor In office, the program Of
four major speeches in six days,
which was announced late yesterday,
also will be one of the most ambi-
tious efforts sS Mr.. Hoover upon
the platform.
Not only will the quartet OF adj
dresses take him to three widely
separated states but IL will permit
him to gain contact with the people
Of several others as he passes
through. Also the speeches will take
the chief executive before three OF
the most powerful civil groups In
the nation.
It has been generally accepted
that ell OF his Addresses are to be
appropriate 10 the occasion which
might mean that before the Ameri-
can Rnker's association at Cleve-
land on October 2 he would talk on
finances and business. and before
the American Federation OF Labor
in Boston on the afternoon Of Oc-
tober 8 ne would discuss unemploy-
ment. These two invitations were
the latest accepted.
Both would give him an excellent
opportunity. 1t was held today in
political circles. Of selling" his ad-
ministration In q way that would not
be inappropriate for a president.
His speech on the NOR ng Of Oc-
tober 6 before the American Legion
in Boston, and that at Kings
Mountain battle anniversary cele-
bration on October 7 may be devoted
10 more general questions, II the
president chooses to carry his cases
directly to the country in this initial
broadside.

GRAND JURY TRIAL IN VAN|T|ES CASE
Carroll and Cast Gain Point in
 Legal Skirmish

New York, July g (UP)-Earl Carroll and his three co-defendants of the cast of the "Vanities" charged with producing and performing in an indecent production today won the right to a jury trial.
 Judge Rosalsky in general ses- sions, using as a precedent a decision he made himself 15 years ago, up- held Carroll's plea for transfer from special sessions to general sessions on the contention that only a jury can reasonably be expected to decide whether a play is "obscene or inde- cent or tends to suggest impure thoughts
 AS a result of the judges order the evidence against Carroll and the actors must be presented to a grand jury, which has the power to dis miss the case. If the jury indicts, Carroll will be able to bill a demur- Ter and interpose various other mo- tions before trial which would bring considerable delay in the settlement of the case.
 Those charged with Carroll are Jimmie Savo, Faith Bacon and Kay Carroll.

DRY Law AID
BY CITIZENS IS
ROPER'S PLEA
Urges Mobilization System
to Help Observance
and Enforcement.
APPEALS FOR COUNCILS
Convinced Problem Can Be
Solved by Plan to
Form Groups.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 20.-A
plan to mobilize the citizenry of the
nation actively for law observance
and enforcement was recommended
to the house judiciary committee
today by Daniel c. Roper, who in
augurated national prohibition law
enforcement as internal revenue
commissioner in 1919.
Roper said he was convinced the
law could be enforced by his plan
of an appeal to citizens of the coun-
try, but if people would not obey
the law after that appeal, then the
law should be repealed.
He urged that President Hoover
call a conference of Governors of
states and organize through them
citizens law observance councils SIM
liar to the wartime councils of de-
Tense Attorney General Mitchell,
he said, should call together all en-
forcement officers, and even federal
judges, to work out methods OF
speedier prosecution.
Answers Vets Query
IT am not certain that we should
not go beyond anything done in the
war to organize the people," Roper
said in answer to q question by
Representative La Guardia, wet
(Rep., N "
When asked whether he thought
President Hoover is trying to en-
force the law, Roper replied:
"By statement, yes. BY procedure,
I do rot know"
"I would try to persuade the peo-
pie to observe the law through the
Governors of their states. If we
could not get the people to obey the
law that way then it ought to be
repealed. 1t is that remarkable CO.
operation we had during our war
period that makes me think my plan
is practical
Roper said that when he selected
prohibition administrators he re-
quired that they be in loyal syn1S
pathy with the law.
"After / Retired"
"Some of your men retired very
wealthy and some got into very
serious troubIe?" La Guardia asked.
THAT was after I retired" Roper
said.
Roper was followed by Martha
Bensley Bruere of the National Fed
Grafton of Settlements, who told Of
improved conditions in the Rocky
mountain and Pacific states, and
said that the drink problem no
longer is considered serious by social
workers in the area from Sioux
Falls, S. D., to the Pacific coast.
A telegram was read from Field
ing H. (Hurry Up) Yost, famous
Michigan football coach, expressing
the opinion that college students are
not drinking as much as in pre-
prohibition days.
Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president OF
the w. c, T. u, was scheduled to
appear later.
