II STATES WILL
VOTE NOV. 8 ON
REPEATER ACTS
Vets Expect Vote Will Be
Favorable in Most, Though
Few Are Doubtful.

By ScTtppS-h OiCdrd newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Eleven
states will vote on the prohibition
question at the election Nov. 8.
One state, Texas, already has gone
on record at a Democratic primary
referendum on July %, in favor Of
repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment.
The issue will be presented to
the voters in various forms. IN
most cases they will pass upon
propositions to repeal state prohi-
bition or enforcement acts.
In others they will have an OPP
portunity to register their wishes on
the question of repeating the
amendment.
The states in which referenda are
scheduled for Nov. are Louisiana,
Wyoming, Connecticut, California,
Oregon, Michigan. Washington,
Colorado, Arizona, North Dakota
and New Jersey.
Advocates Of repeal expect ia
vorable decisions in most, although
Oregon, Washington, Colorado and
North Dakota are classed as doubt
full.
Some Already Have Repealed
If a considerable number of the
states voting this year register dis
approval of their state enforcement
acts it materially Will add to those
which already have repealed local
prohibition
Rhode Island, Massachusetts,, New
York, Wisconsin, Montana and
Nevada have already done away
with state Volstead measures, while
Maryland has never enacted one.
Illinois adopted a repeal act which
was vetoed, however, by Governor
Emmerson.
Importance Of the congressional
contests in this general election is
becoming more evident in the pro-
hibition fight as vets and drys
argue the immediate liquor question:
Modification of the Volstead act.
Republicans always have formed
large part of the so-called beer
bloc in both senate and house, but
Democrats now running for con-
gress are pledged in their partys
platform for immediate modification
of the law enforcing the eighteenth
amendment, and from that side,
particularly, the new wet strength
is expected to come.
Work for Modification
While the occupant of the White
House would have to sign any modi-
fication bill before it could become
law, the first and last opportunities
for enacting such bill lies before
congress. It must advance the mod
ification bill to the White House,
and, if sufficient strength is avail
able, it can pass the bill over a pres
idential veto.
The Hoover position on modifica-
ton is not definitely known, because
he Stunned the pressing question
in his acceptance speech.
But Franklin Roosevelt has said
he will recommend modification to
the next congress, which comes into
being March 4, if he 81 elected in
November.
There is now a stronger posi-
bility that modification may be &C
complished at the short December
session of this congress, because of
the growing interest in it, and de-
mand for it.

he felt he ought to carry along
a bottle of dyspepsia tables.
Everybody in social Washing
ton knows that Vice President
Charles Curtis and his sister and
official hostess, Mrs. Dolly Gam,
have attended anywhere from
one to a half-dozen social
functions per week during the
Hoover regime.
Garners Always AlO0f
But these precedents mean
nothing, apparently, to the Vice
Pres dent-elect. During their 80
y ars in public life here, Mr.. and
Mrs. Garner have remained prac-
tically aloof from social activities.
The Speaker still goes on the
theory of "early to bed and early
t. rise" and it is difficult even to
get him to a telephone after 6
o'clock in the evening. Odds to-
day were that he would keep on
following the simple life, such as
he knew in Texas, and would not
become the official "diner out" Of
the Democratic administration.
The Washington times., 1932-11-28

Despite the opportunities of
women leaders Of the Democrats,
who would like to see the forth
coming Vice President and Mrs.
John N. Garner "step out" into
the social swirl during the Roose-
velt administration, there seemed
little expectation today that the
present Speaker and his wife
would materially modify their de-
termination to stay at home
nights.
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, vice
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee and former
governor of Wyoming, is among
the women disappointed over the
Garner edict of "early to bed
and early to rise" and his an
nouncement that ne and Mrs.
Garner will not be diners out"
during the Democratic regime Of
the next four years.

The late Vice President Thomas
r. Marshall represented the ad.

Attorney Loses Clients Case
But DenounCes Methods
of Chief MoxIey

Montgomery County's colored
prohibition unit" broke even
Saturday in Police Court at Rock
vile, one of the cases in which
they are alleged to have made a
"buy" bringing a conviction.
Chief of Police Alvie A. Mox-
ley, however was soundly flayed
by Attorney F. Barnard Welsh, of
Rockville, for his new policy" Of
hiring colored men to try to
purchase liquor in order to gain
a conviction.
While admitting that his client,
Henry weldon, of Rockville, has
a bad reputation and has only
recently completed a term in the
Maryland House of Correction
for liquor violation, Mr.. Welsh
said that this was nothing more
than a case Of entrapment where
the police chief sends men out
for the sole purpose of getting
a. weak person to violate the
law"
Mr.. Welsh said:
ut seems to me that we're
getting down pretty low, when
the cOunty's police chief hires
c0lOred men to try and per.
suade white peODle to commit q
crime so the police can lock
them up"
Judge Donald A. DeLashmutt,
however, found Weldon guilty
and ordered him to pay a fine
of $3.50 and costs or serve six
months in the House of Correc-
ton. Weldon appealed.
Mrs. Edward Dixon of Barnes
vile, Md, was found not guilty
by Judge DeLashmutt, after the
same under-cover men who were
excluded from the room returned
singly and failed to make a
complete Identification of her.

Inspector Burke has prepared
an estimate, based on figures
reaching him from various cities
along the lines Of march, Of the
total number of marchers now en-
route to Washington.
Inspector Burke's report to
Major Brown reads:
"TO date replies to our COM

The report added that other
cities said they had been unable
to estimate the number but that
they would cooperate in every
way possible.
These figures, indicating g
much smaller number of march
