SAN FRANCISCO, January 23.-Ken-
meth Macintosh of Seattle, one of the
five members Of the Wickersham COM
mission who recommended further
trial and strict enforcement of prohi-
bitioT, asserted here today that a
change in the dry law was inevitable
The cause, he said, was American;
fathers and mothers are appalled, at
seeing their boys and girls return home
intoxicated, night after night"
Prohibition put the saloon out OF
business" said Macintosh. I'VE may
now look to something that will eradi-
cate bootlegging and It's attendant evils.
The home, whether wet or dry when
the law went into effect, now demands
something be done to keep the young
away from the speakessies.

the taste of the stuff, there are very

suspicious of the taste of the genuine
product.
LAS was to be expected. passionate
partisans, without having had any OPP

prejudiced interpretations on such of it

their opinions and criticisms"
He branded as baselesS the charge
that President Hoover dictated to the
commission.
The accusations against the Presi-
dent are inspired only by the lowest
desire to discredit him and his COM
mission. The President never in any way
interfered with the framing Of the tre-
port nor did he ever hint in the SubtleSt
manner to any member what his wishes

to retain the existing eighteenth amend
ment as 1t Is
President Hoover has definitely de-
clared himself against repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment. He has turned
down the plan for revision advanced by
the Wickersham Commission, which
places the regulation of liquor traffic in
the hands of Congress. The drys argue
that there remains for the President only
the third course, which is to stand for
the eighteenth amendment as it is.
Tsere is a possibility. Of course. that
the revision plan advanced by the
Wickersham Commission might be
amended in some way to meet the ideas
of the President. 1t might be changed
so as to give Congress the power to
regulate liquor traffic without the power
to prohibit it. This would be a wetter
proposition than the revision suggested
by the Wickersham Commission.
Majority for Change.
Should President Hoover in the end
come out for some change in the eight
zenith amendment he would in effect be
in agreement of the majority of the
sion, for a majority of that commission
favor some Kind of change in the ex-
listing system.
During the 1923 pre-convention cam
paign Senator Borah. a supporter of
the eighteenth amendment, addressed a
QUESTIONABLE to each of the presiden-
tial candidates asking their stand on
prohibition.
Among those vino replied to the oues-
tionnaire was President Hoover, who
declared prohibition an experiment
noble in purpose and far-reaching in
effect which must be worked out con-
structively Vice President Curtis was
another of the candidates who replied
to the questiorn"ire. The Wee Presi-
dent declared fatty for the eighteenth
amefldment. President H7over's reply
was interpreted as lining him up with
the drys.
New QUESTIONABLE Possible.
The opinion was expressed today that
sooner or later, unless all of the candi-
dates for the presidential nomination
next year make their positions clear
with regard to the eighteenth amend
ment, another questicnnaire would be
presented to them.
The Wickersham commissioners in
most cases declared themselves in favor
of a resubmission Of the question Of
national prohibition to the people
through the medium of State constitu-
ti~nal conventions.
The suggestion was put forward today
that possibly the Republican party In
writing its platform for the 1882 cam
paign would include a plank declaring
for the re-submission of the issue to
the people in, say. the year 1888, when
there is no presidential or congress
sional election. Such a plank, it was
said. could be supported by both friends
and opponents of prohibition, since the
friends declare their confidence that
the PEOPLE would favor again national
prohibition and the opponents take the
opposite view

CONGRESS MAY
TANCLE STATES
SHIFT IN SEATS
Halt Of Legislatures Might
Have to Hold Special
Sessions.

By SoriDps-Hov0rd Netcspoper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Jan. l6.-Half
the states in the Union will have to
call special sessions of their legis-
latures to act on reapportionment
unless congress completes its part of
Of the respportionment program be-
lore March 4.
Forty-two legislatures now are in
session, but twenty-four of them
must, according to law, adjourn at
a fixed time, and most Of these will
adjourn before March 4, or a few
days thereafter.
This makes it impossible for
them to redistrict their states with
out calling a special session of their
legislatures, for under the federal
reapportionment law, congress will
not notify the states oft he number
OF representatives to which each is
entitled until after March 4.
The law gives congress until that
time TO change the automatic dis
tribution of representatives that is
TO follow each census, if it sees fit.
In some of the states at least,
where the Governor is of one party
and the legislature is controlled by
another, special sessions will not be
called for political reasons.
Endless complications may result,

particularly IN states where the rep
resentation is TO be reduced.
In a number OF states all repre-
sentatives may have to run at
large instead Of in their districts,
so the states delegation shall not
have too few or too many members,
and in Indiana the situation Is even
more complex by reason OF a law
which specifies that thirteen rep
resentatives shall be elected to con-
gress. The state is entitled to only
twelve representatives in the new
distribution.
Because Of this situation Repre-
sentative Cochran CMo) has
launched a movement to have con-
gress waive its right to reconsider
the reapportionment considerably
before March and notify The states
before that time how many mem
bers they may send to the house.
He probably will be successful,
since little disposition has been
shown to revive the fight staged
in the last session Of congress to
exclude aliens from the count on
which reapportionment is based.
To exclude aliens most of the
house lawyers believe a constitu-
tional amendment would be neces-
sary, and there is no possibility OF
such action at once.
The states which have fixed time
for adjournment include Alabama,

NEW YORK, June 6. (P) - The rally in stock prices continued, all though the. net gains averaged smaller than the blustry advance made during the forepart of the week.
 Bonds were also strong and with wheat recovering it's equilibrium and corn and cotton improving, the financial scene looked much brighter. Shares had to take a profit taking in the trading, but they stubbornly refused to be up- set.
 The rail stosks quickly came for ward as leaders of an upward movement in the market.
