PROMPT REPEAL
OF DRY LAW, is
jim REED PLEA
Former Senator Fires
Fierce Blast in Demand
fer Immediate Action.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-For-
mer Senator James A. Reed of Mis-
souri, today stood sponsor for one Of
the strongest prohibition plat
forms thus far proposed. His pro-
gram calls for:
Immediate repeal Of the Volstead
act.
Repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment as soon as possible.
State control of liquor without
federal assistance, but with each
state having authority to seize liquor
imported for distribution within its
boundaries in interstate commerce.
This declaration by Reed, who re-
turned several days ago from Eu-
rope, places him ahead of other pos
sible Democratic presidential nomi-
nees on the prohibition repeal pro-
gram.
WAS Drawn by Fanatics"
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
of New York has declared for repeal
of the eighteenth amendment, but
for substitution of an amendment
to protect state enforcement of
prohibition.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson of
Arkansas, vice presidential nominee
in 1928, is a prohibition supporter.
THE Volstead act should be re-
pealed Immediately, Reed declared
in announcing his program. It.
should have been written in blooc
by Draco, and not by modern leg
stature
1T was drawn by fanatics who
crowded into it all of the atroci-
ties from all Of the state laws.
Reed said he expected little to
come from President Hoovers law
enforcement commission.
IT'S CHASTITY Failure"
1T is obvious now that the peo-
pie of the United States have given
this noble experiment a thorough
trial, and that it has been the most
CHASTITY failure of the century. II
has created more crime than any
other law in the last 100 years"
Reed provided another campaign
issue by charging the business de-
preston to the tariff and govern
ment interference with business.

SYMONS, BARR
READY AGAIN To
SWITCH PLACES
State Bank Examiner and
Assistant Willing to
Trade Once More.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Luther F. SymOns, state bank eX-
aminer, and his assistant, Thomas
D. Barr, may resume the game of
"battledore and shuttlecock" with
the job of department chief, it was
indicated at the statehouse today.
Symons' four-year term expires
on Oct. l, and he has not made for
NAL application to Governor Harry
G.. Leslie for reappointment, it was
learned.
Symons refused to comment on
the situation today, but it was I'M
derstood he has agreed to trade
places with Barr, if that meets with
the Governors approval
Under the regime OF former Gov
ernor Ed Jackson that same ex-
change was made. Barr had been
appointed head of the department
to serve the unexpired term of
Eben v. Wolcott, resigned and then
Symons, who was assistant, was
made chief. This was attributed to
JackSon's Indebtedness to Synons,
Who at one time was said to have
aided in obtaining the then Cover
nor Henry county judgeship APP
pointment.
Ready TO Step Back Up
Barr now is reported ready to
step back up to the top, and Sy-
mons to become assistant.
Symons' term of Office has been
marked by more bank failure than
any similar period in the history
of the department, it was said. But
Indiana banks have suffered less
than certain other mid-weStern and
western agricultural areas. tabu-
lation of failures show
Recently the bank closingS have
shifted from the agricultural to the
industrial areas, largely in Lake
county.
Another appointment for Oct. l is
that of the state insurance COM
missioner Report has it that Les
lie has agreed to let Clarence c.
WySong remain in the office until
for the first of the year, or after the
legislature meets, without reap
pointment.
Fuller Also Seeks Place
Wysong was elected head of the
national organization of insurance
commissioners at a meeting two
weeks ago, and to lose his post
would mean to forfeit this office.
Among applicants for the place
are Bert Fuller, Leslie's successful
campaign manager.
Leaving department heads in
office without reappointment almost
amounts to a policy with the Les
lie administration. Outstanding ex-
ample Of this procedure is his fail
ure to reappoint or discharge the
state fire marshal, Alfred E. Hog
ston, pioneer Leslie canpaigner.
Hogston's term expired Oct l, 1929.
Another holdover from the Jack
son era, without reappointment, is
Daley Mccoy, state purchasing
agent.
