The 24-year-old Ohioan yesterday

under the most trying conditions,
which left his closest competitors four
strokes behind, turned the trick.

with consideration by the senate
judiciary committee of President
Hoover's prohibition reform pro-
gram.
At the same time, the war de-
partment contributed to the admin
istration's dry campaign, when Sec

that violation of the prohibition

offense for which army officers or
enlisted men can be punished both
in civil and military courts.
Mrs. Norton's resolution provides
tat each state would conduct a
referendum within it's borders at the
first general election after adoption
Of the resolution by congress. The
fate of the eighteenth amendment,
however, would depend upon the to-
tai popular vote from all states,
rather than the number of states
for or against it.
Mrs. Norton'S resolution further
would provide that in case the

retain power to prohibit interstate
transportation of liquor in violation
of state laws and would prevent any
