MILFORD MAN IS PROMOTED
Theodore Coulbourne Made Lieu
tenants Commander in the Navy

Theodore S. Coulbourne, who has
been in the United States Navy for
a long period of years, has just
been promoted to the grade of
lieutenant Commander. The pro-
motion was made after he had
passed the necessary examination
and completed a long period of
years in the Navy. Lieutenant
Commander Coulbourne is now
eligible to retire from the navy on
pay, owing to his long length of
service. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether he will take this action at
this time. He entered the Navy
while very young man and is
still man of middle age. He has
service in several wars and also
done duty in foreign countries. For
some time past he has had charge
of the Commissary store at the
United States Submarine Base at
New London, Conn.

Chief Justice Hughes
In Tribute TO Red Cross

One of the finest tributes ever
paid the American Red Cross and
its membership was that by Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes,
of the United States Supreme
Court, on the occasion of the
fiftieth birthday anniversary of
the organization on May 81 of
this year. Mr.. Hughes said:
"The American Red Cross rep.
resents the united voluntary ef-
fort of the American people in
the ministry of mercy. 1t is the
finest and most effective express
sion OF the American heart. 1t
knows no partisanship. In the
perfection Of its cooperation,
there is no blemish of distinc-
tions by reason of race or creed
or political philosophy.
However we may differ in all
things else, IN the activities or
the Red Cross we are united
people. None of our boasted in.
dustrial enterprises surpasses 1t
in efficiency 1t moves with
the precision and the discipline
of an army to achieve the noblest
of human aims.
THE American Red Cross is
not only first in war but first in
peace. The American people rely
upon its ministrations in every
great catastrophe. It has given
its aid in over one thousand dis.
asters. When, as we hope, war
will be no more, still the Red
Cross, in the countless activities
of relief and rehabilitation, will
continue to function as the or
ganized compassion of our coun
try"

DrLInks in Control
At Legion Session,
DR.. Wilson Infers

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 25
u.N.S0 DIR. Clarence True
Wilson, noted advocate of pro
hibition, today assailed the
American Legion for adopting a
resolution faVoring a referendum
on the dry laws.
Charging that at the Detroit
conclave staggering drunks dis
graced the uniform and yelled
for beer" DR.. Wilson went on
to say:
"When these men were being
trained for overseas, it was as
sober soldiers in dry canton.
HnentS. America tried to make
abStainerS Of every one. They
went across to France the
cleanest army ever assembled
on any field. They maintained
their ideals even in French
cities.
But some dropped down to
another level. This is the
crowd that seeks to dominate
the American Legion and our
civilization. The wet prOpa-
ganda for which the legion has
been used has so alienated
thousands that they no longer
attend the conventions"
The Washington times., 1931-09-25
LEGION ST AN D
SWELLS HOPE
Of VETS
Drive For Action by New Con-
gress Certain to Follow
Demand For Referendum

The American Legion's demand
for submission of the prohibition
question to the voters of the courl-
try will intensity the drive of anti
prohibitionists for action in Con.
gress next winter, it was predicted
here today.
Although the ardent vets are d.
vided upon the prospects of action
in a Congress now listed as
strongly dry, they believe the le-
giOn's decision, along with that of
the American Bar Association and
other organizations, will swing
many doubtful votes.
The legion admittedly has influ-
ence with Congress. The quick &C
ton last winter on the soldiers
bonus loan proposal in the face
of Administration opposition Is
pointed to as an example of the
legion's power.
There are now 162 members of
the House and Is members of the
Senate listed by the association
against the prohibition amend
ment as favoring repeal or resub-
mission of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. The list includes many
converts" since the last session
The anti-prohibitionists expect
reapportionment of the House,
which gives more members to the
cities, to add at least Is votes to
their cause.
Platform Planned
Following the Legion vote, Sem
atOr Robert j. Bulkley (DO, Ohio,
said he would propose a plank for
the Democratic platform at the
next national convention which
would commit Democratic mem
bers of Congress to vote for a re-
submission of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Senator Bulkley said, however,
that such resubmission should
come before State constitutional
convention rather than before the
legislatures which ratified the
amendment.
Henry H. Curran, president Of
the Association Against the Pro
hibition Amendment, said the &C
ton of the Legion justified his
recent prediction that the Senti-
ment of the country is more than
two to one against any further
continuation of ''the disastrous
experiment of national prohibi,
tion."

REVOLT
MAKES ITSELF.
FELT HERE
Legion's Action Is Regarded
as Hardest Blow Struck
Since Enactment of Law
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

Although President Hoover re-
mains aloof and silent. it became
apparent today that Washington
officialdom - which means the
Cabinet, Congress and the poll
ticians-is beginning to take seri'
ously the revolt against prohi'
bition.
The action of the American
Legion in denOuncing the Eight
eenth Amendment and demanding
its resubmissiOn to the States, was
conceded by vets and dryS alike
today to be the greatest single
blow struck against prohibition
since its enactment.
Four Big Organizations
The legion has now joined with
the American Federation OF
Labor, the American Bar Asso-
citation, and the American Medi-
cal Association in opposition to
prohibition. :
This quartet of national as,
sociations embraces a member.
ship of millions. The Federation
of Labor boasts some 1000, 900
members, the legion approximate
ly 100000. and the bar and
medical associations run high
into the thousands. All members,
are of voting age. But more inn
portant than the mere numbers
is considered the influence which
these associations have in the
shaping of legislation.
Has Shown Strength
The legion has on numerous
occasions demonstrated its ability
to enact legislation even over the
veto of the President; the fedora
tiOn exerts a powerful influence
on Congress. and as for the bar
and medical associations, it is
seldom that they are denied q
respectful hearing in the halls Of
Congress.
The drys are uneasy and appre-
hensive; the anti-prohibitionistS
correspondingly gleeful and conf
dent.
A battle-royal is now frankly
anticipated in the Congress which
convenes in two months. While
it may not be successful from the
viewpoint of the anti-prohibition-
lists. the forthcoming battle viii
be but the forerunner of others.
That is recognized by both sides,
and plans are being made accord.

Beer and Bonus Not Dead,
Says Floyd Gibbons

, decisions on the two issues. This
time next year, in Portland, the
two b. campaign will be one
long to be remembered by legion
naires. The presidential campaign
will be in full swing. The City
of Roses will have to provide
many blossoms if the delegates
to that convention are to find a
flowery path.
Word reaching Detroit from
other parts of the country al
ready indicates that the legion's
determined stand for modifica-
ton of the prohibition laws to
permit the country to have beer
indicates the discussion has
stirred apathetic partiSans.
Pro-beer legionnaireS indulged
in high strategy when the sub
ject of modification was tossed
out among the delegates first in
connection with the report of
the committee on unemployment.
Ordinarily it would have come up
Independently.
"NOw," the victorious wet
leaders say, I'VE have proved
that it wasn't thirst that
prompted our action. 1t was
economic necessity"
Not Settled by Vote
Matters of such magnitude as
the modification and bonus ques-
tions aren't settled by the vote
of even such a large body as the
legion. Discussion will go on
and the standpatters will keep
their views.
Early next year local contests
for delegates to State and ma
tional conventions will start the
same arguments. Platform build
ers for the national conventions
once more will have a chance to
take a stand. And then-the
deluge of campaign oratory.
In the meantime, a hundred
thousand or more legionnaires
will cross the Rockies on the long
trail to Portland to realign their
forces for the hand-to-ballot-box
struggle in November. Again, in
Portland, the beer and bonus
campaign will be on.
And, as in Detroit, the Canadian
border is not many miles away.
