John J. Raskob, the antiprohibi-

national committee, tried in vain
to relieve the fears of the South
ern drys today that he had any
deep or dark designs to force it to
60 on record on the wet-and-dry
issue.
At the same time, however, he
made it clear that he is going to
propose a set of resolutions for the
members of the national commit
tee to ponder over, and perhaps at
some future time to recommend
to the national convention 10
months hence. Presumably, one
of these proposals will be that the
party take a militant stand
against prohibition.
Statement Applauded
With the trace of a smile,
Chairman Raskob said: ...
"But hope there will be no
attempt to force action at this
meeting"
There was loud applause from
the Southern drys, who were rep
resented in force at the meeting
by Senators and Representatives
