have read the opinion I prefer not to say anything"
 Theodore Dreiser, the novelist: Slowly but surely this will drive into the consciousness of the null titude in America that law and justice are corporation controlled and directed and that nothing less than a national change will bring equity for anyone"
 Bruce Bliven, editor of the New Republics: california justice stands disgraced before the eyes of the whole world. I am confident that neither Governor Rolph nor California has heard the last of this"
 Oswald Garrison Willard, editor of The Nation: "It seems to me that Governor Rolph's decision is nothing less than monstrous. It has seemed to me for several years that there could be no question whatever of this mans innocence. It will take only a few more cases like this terrible miscarriage of justice, in my opinion, to produce an atmosphere of revolution in America. It cries out to high heav- en for redress. It disgraces every American"
 Norman Thomas, head of the so- cialist party: There can be no reason for the denial of Mooney's pardon that is not travesty on justice"
 Roger N. Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union Like his predecessors, Governor Rolph passed the buck to conser- vative, anti-labor advisors, without courageously facing the decision himself"

Chicago, April 22 = (UP) = Thomas Walsh, Jr., gambled his life against the tropical fever, hunger, insects and terrific heat of a steaming Ecuadorean jungle to gather data for his Ph. D. thesis, and lost letter to his parents has revealed.
 The 26-year-old scientist died in the arms of his companion on the exporation trip into territory seen by few if any white men-died after each had written a letter to his own mother to be delivered by the one who survived.
 And Walsh's letter, delivered by Harold Foard of West Virginia, his companion, read:
 'tMother: l. am making Foard go on for aid. Cant move. :. God save us. Please help Foard marry Clarissa Ga girl in Lima, Peru) .. he is your son now. .... Dad, am dead - save mother.

ANTI-SALO0N
 LEAGUE DRIFTS
 TOWARD VETS
Under Certain Conditions F. Scott Mcbride Would Be Willing to Try the Referendum

Washington, April 22-(U. P.)- The Anti-Saloon League appears to be falling into line in the parade moving toward a prohibition refer endum. Condition indication of this has just come from F. Scott Mo Bride, general superintendent of the league. Under certain condi- tions he is ready to challenge the anti-prohibitionists to a referen- dunn. Thus, the lineal successor of the late Wayne B. Wheeler, until now an uncompromising opponent of referendum, joins in principle with the growing company which as disclosed by the United Press within the last few days includes some of President Hoover's most in- innate advisors and reaches inside of the cabinet.
 Mcbride, in a statement opposing referendum proposals suggested from republican quarters, counter ed, with a suggestion that the con- stitution could be amended to pro- vide that by a majority vote in two third of the states. the people could initiate amendments and make it mandatory on congress to submit them. The machinery would fur. ther provide that a majority vote of the people in .three-fourths of the states would be sufficient for ratification.

BUTLER WANTS REFERENDUM ON
 PROHIBITION
Former Chairman of Re- publican National C0m- mittee Says He Can't See Any Harm in It

Boston, April 22 - GU. p = Former U. S. Senator William M. Butler, chairman of the republican national committee at one time, favors a referendum plank in the party's platform, he announced last night. Butler, a candidate for dei- egate-at-large to the republican na- tional convention, ran for the sem ate two years ego as dr yand was defeated by the democratic candi- date, Marcus A. Coolidge. "Prohi- bition is not sacred" he said. If the people want to get rid of na- tional prohibition, they will have an opportunity to do so by consti- tutional means"
 He believed the present contin- ued discussion of prohibition was upsetting the country and prevent ing normal thinking on matters of supreme importance to the prosper ity of the people. In regard to Hoover's declaration for law en- forcement on several occasions, Butler said he did not see how 8 re- submission plank should embarrass the president. eff he is to suffer be- cause his party>is broad enough to favor re-submission," Butler de- clared, "let that stand as the un- fairness of intolerance"
