no broken branch for him to climb and
drop from onto the roof of the corncrib.

HAVANA. Oct. 28.-Cuban grow CTS, with an overabundant output of sugar on their hands and scar city of markets for 1t, are again trying to find cure for their bus mess ills by reviving the industrial alcohol industry, once one of the most important on the island.
 Although Cuba has always had plenty of potable alcohol, there was a time in the world war days when it turned it's energies to the pro- duction of industrial alcohol for fuel, to relieve the scarcity of gaso- line then selling as high as 50 cents a gallon. It is recalled that alcohol as a motor fuel gave more mileage than gasoline and that 1t sold then for 19 cents gallon.
 It is argued that these conditions could be approximated by revival

POLITICAL CLAIMS SEETHING IN WASHINGTON
Prohibition in Spotlight
 With State Parties Split
 Orer Question of Repeal
By BYRON PRICE

WhOAl1lNAI OAN, U. S., OOb. So' The twelfth year of constitutional prohibition, otherwise 1930. sees the Eighteenth amendment still on the firing line of politics.
 In upward of a score of states the ban against liquor is an active statewide issue. In many others it stirs painfully beneath the sur face, or breaks into the light of day in isolated congressional dis tricts.
 Illinois and Rhode Island will record by referendum in the Mo- vember 4 election their opinions whether the prohibition amendment should be repealed. Massachusetts will vote on repeal of it's State En- forcement Act.
 Wherever it is an issue, prohibi- ton is claiming a large share of attention, although almost every where other considerations are in- tertwined in the contest for con- trol of Congress and the various State governments.
 The business aepresslon, unem- ployment, the tariff and foreign af- fairs all play their respective parts, and doubtless the election will be followed by the usual dispute over the relative contribution of each is- sue to the net result.
 Partisan Lines Split
 Nationally, neither party has at tempted by formal action to draw line of partisan division. In the off-years, midway between presi- dential elections, the parties adopt no national platforms but leave the local Republican and Democratic organizations to choose for them selves.
 The result in 1930 has been a re- markable tumble of contradictions, for in each party corral are groups earmarked by the vets and other groups branded with the iron of the drys.
 Any survey of this tangled situa- ton must take account of several outstanding. facts.
 At the head of the Republican Party stands President Hoover, with his background of prohibition utterances in 1928 and since. The party Chairman is Senator Fess of Ohio, one of the outstanding dry leaders in Congress.
 Most G. o. P. States Dry
 The vast majority of the Republi- can state organizations have either declared for prohibition in their state platforms or refrained from it by name. Notable exceptions are the Republicans of New York and New Jersey, who have demanded repeal of the Eigh- tenth Amendment.
 Tn Washington, Wisconsin and Connecticut the Republican state platforms also dissent from the present regime, and Illinois Repub- licans have proposed a referendum.
 The Democratic party's 1928 pres idential nominee, Alfred E. Smith, is militant advocate of inodifica- ton. The national chairman, John J. Raskob, is a supporter of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment.
 In the IA states of New York, New Jersey, Washington, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Illinois, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Vermont, the Democratic state platforms declare for a change-in most cases for out right repeal.
