Milk, Like Bread,
Violates Dry Act, =.
S0uS HGnSbrOUgh h

Contention that legallzatlon OF
beer will aid economic recovery
and help agriculture provoked a
fresh clash today between wet
and dry leaders here.
Senator BrOOkhart, Iowa, insur-
gent dry. declared the "beer boom
had collapsed" with the election
of a dry Representative in Mis-
souri,. He also asserted Louis J.
Taber, master of the National
Grange, had exploded the absurd
theory that beer would help the
farmers"
HanSbrOugh Replies
This drew a reply from former
Senator Henry C. Hansbrough,
national chairman of the league
for modification of the Volstead
act. He disparaged Taber's beer
opposition, declaring the farm
leader was an 'uncompromising
dry" who did not speak for agri-
cultural organizations on the pro-
hibition question.
Hansbrough rather startled
the drys by charging both milk
and bread were illegal under a
strict Interpretation of the Vol
stead act, because both commodi-
ties contained more than one
half of one per cent alcohol. He
also called on the drys to explain
Why prohibition hadn't brought
prosperity to the nation.
BrOOkhart Derides BOOms
Brookhart derided the beer
boom, saying:
"The Missouri election had
shown that the whole wet ag-
gregatiOn, Wall Street and all,
were only able to muster less
than 1900 out of a total Of
more than $4,000 votes"
at also turns out that the
American Legion was not for
beer but only for a referen-
dum," BrOOkhart added.

WET FIRE IN
CONGRESS
Prohibition Foes See Plan
to Raise Revenue BY Beer
Tax Gain Friends on Hill
By WILLIAM C. MURPHY, Jr.

By WILLIAM c. MURPHY, Jr.
Advocates of prohibition repeal
are counting heavily upon eco
nomic conditions to force some
action by Congress during the
coming session. Reflecting on
the theory that it took a World
War to put prohibition into the
Constitution, they are hopeful
that a worldwide depression may
be sufficient to take it out.
The anti-prohibition strategy
as indicated from several sources,
recently is to dangle huge pros
pective gains in Federal revenue
before Congress and the people
as inducements to modify or re-
peal the dry laws.
A Leading Wet View
This was the line taken today
by Henry H. Curran. president
of the Association against the
Prohibition Amendment. Mr..
Curran said:
eff our 531 Senators and
Representatives want to help
us out of hard times, prevent
higher taxes by giving the
Government a billion dollars a
year to match its deficit, and
start the movement to eliminate
the daily murder from our
body politics by kicking 1ut Of
it the racketeers and gunman-
these 531 men and women
whom we have elected to our
Congress have only to propose
repeal to the people in cOnven-
tiOns in the States"
Much the same idea was ex.
pressed recently by Representa-
tive John j. Cochran CD of
Missouri, who suggested the Gov.
ernment embark on the $5,000,-
100000 prosperity loan" proposed
by William Randolph Hearst and
pay off the loan by a tax on
legalized beer.
Slump Aids VETS
Economic conditions conspire
to aid the vets in the present
maneuverihg just as during the
war period the pressure for con-
servation of food and man power
aided the drys in putting over
the amendment.
Today there are huge surpluses
of both foodstuffs and labor and
prohibition repeal or modification
offers one avenue of at least
partial relief.
Today the Government is faced
with ever growing deficits which
could be pared down if not
eliminated by a tax on liquor.
Even dry members of Congress
are beginning to look lOngingly
at this source of potential
revenue.
Recent disclosures that high
Government officials are studying
the economics of brewing have
lent encouragement to those who
would like to see some action to-
ward modification.
The evenly balanced strength
of the two major parties in the
House and Senate has created a
parliamentary situation in which
a determined group of anti.prohi.
bitionists could easily force a vote
on the measures they advocate.

WASHINGTON.- the hope of giving impetus to building throughout the United States. as a means of contributing to the relief of unemployment, President Hoover has issued a call for a conference to be heald at the Capital beginning De- cember 2 and continuing until Decem- Der 5.
 A thousand citizens from all parts of the country have been invited to attend the conference, which will deal with the whole question of home con- struction, ownership. home environ ment, embrs cling financing, design, equipment city planning, household management and other aspects.
 In addition to setting in motion a nationwide home building program, giving employment to many workers and placing as large amount of ready money in ejaculation, the conference, it is hoped, also will arouse more general interest in home ownership

UPSETTING OLD BELIEFS.

Ridiculing women who starve and Troll" to reduce, Dr. Augustus G. Pohlman, professor of anatomy at St. Louis University, School of Medicine, recently described the way the laws of supply and demand operate in the human body.
 "The human body" he said, lis community of cells, taking in so much oxygen and so much food, giving of carbon dioxide and waste material.
 "It doesn't matter how much you eat. Only as much food will be added to the blood as the body requires. In other words, the demand controls the supply.
 For this reason it is foolish to think that diet or exercise will make anyone slender" the doctor stated.

The newspapers are now telling of the exceptional adventure that in-. wolves 5000 reindeer and handful. of hardy Laplanders and Eskimos. It is expected that these reindeer will be delivered next year in good condition to the Canadian government, at. the delta of the Mackenzie river, after travelling through the Endicott noun tains and along the Arctic ocean, where no, man has ever treked before. The herd is now far down the region of the Colville river valley or beyond, and has but. few hundred miles to go ere its destination is reached. The stake is nearly $2OO,000, which Can ada has contracted to pay upon deliv- cry of the herd.
 Slow as the journey is-it started from Western Alaska in November, 1929-it is in purpose 8 race to save Canadian Eskimos from starvation. Canada will use the herd to propa- gate food supply which will replace the schools of whales depleted by years of hunting. The Eoute covers 1000 miles of almost unimaginably wild country through mountains that only flyers have traversed before, and as the herd moves only in winter over the frozen Arctic, speed is out of the question. Thus far the drive has weathered. several terrible blizzards, without being decimated. In fact, be- cause, the herd does not move in fawning time, births have far exceed ed deaths.

 The plans in a. general way contem- plate the concentration, of more air. craft and antiaircraft material at vul- nerable points and entirely new scheme of defense, employing the other elements of the Army and Navy.
 The many. successful flights from Alaska to the Asiatic mainland have convinced the Army board of strategy that in the event of a war with far western country it could base it's air planes in Alaska and from that point fly up and down the Pacific coast. Plans must provide for an extensive base in Alaska, which is now totally defenseless,s it was said.
