 Norman, okla, June 21-(UPl- There are many indications in this state wide former stronghold or prohibition that Q beer-for-revenue project would be welcomed by tens of thousands and perhaps ma jority of the tax-burdened elector- ate.
 There are indications, too, that political wise men were mistaken when they said the republican na- tional convention spent too much time on the prohibition question. But there does not seem to be vast satisfaction hereabouts In the pro- hibition plank finally offered and adopted by the convention at Chi cago last week.
 R. W. Hutto, president of the Security National bank. sits shirt sleeved in his office in a handsome new bank building and discusses these matters. There hasn't been any bank robberies in this univer- sity town but a precautionary. shot, gun leans handy in Q corner back of President Hutto's desk.
 This" said MT Hutto, lis the democrats golden opportunity They can take the prohibition ques- ton and do something with 1t People in our part of the country have the idea that the republicans straddled on that question.
 "Why I remember when I came to the university here there were 14 saloons in two blocks on Main street and I'll bet there Is more H. quor in private homes to-day than these was then.
 "fhe women are switching or the prohibition question. Even some of the white ribboners' are coming around to the opinion that there ought to be a change. think that plank the republican. rejected Is a pretty good one but there would have to be some form of acceptable regulation. We dont want any saloons"
 He explained that revenue DO. tential in "beer and light wines was extremely tempting but there was dissatisfaction also with pro. hibition conditions aside from tha phase of 1t.
 This banker is a democrat He thinks President Hoover lacks. ir leadership but that he has wis. ualized and proposed remedies fol some great national problems.

Chicago. June. 21-(UP)+The democrats have encountered a new problem in their convention this year-the problem of how to take care of delegations that split them selves into factions.
 Eight years ago, and again four years ago, the democrats suggested to the state organizations that votes of delegates at-large be split. Under that plan, a state with one delegate at-large would send two delegates with one half q vote eacn.' The idea was to give more equit- able distribution.
 Apparently democracy liked the idea of splitting up its delegates and this year 1t has taken to frac- lions. Texas, according to word reaching here. has fairly dismem- bered It's delegates reducing some of them as low as eighths. For every eighth of q delegate there has to be an eighth of an alternate. SO Texas is sending 1S4 delegates and a like number of alternates. ali cut up into fractions.

John Thomas Taylor Attacks
Statements of Officials
on Veterans Costs.

Col. John Thomas Taylor. legislative
counsel for the American Legion, today
attacked Gen Frank T. Hines and the
Veterans Administration for state
ments which he said contained half
truths and misinformation" concerning
sums paid to disabled war veterans.
This accusation was made in speech
before the fourteenth annual Conven-
ton of the Capital District Kiwanis In
ternational being held at the Mayhower
Hotel
Every newspaper and magazine in the
country, Col. Taylor declared, Is de-
voting itself to a fight against disabled
war veterans and the American Legion
at the instigation of the Veterans Ad-
ministration and the National Economy
League.
Half truths given out by men in
high positions have stirred up the press
to seriously consider the veterans prop
lens" Col. Taylor declared.
He cited a recent statement by Gen:
Hines in which the cost for veterans
relief in the coming year was set al
81 900 900 900 and the total cost OF vet
erans' relief at $4,000 900, 900. The
truth is, Col. Taylor explained. that
these sums include help given to all
veterans of all wars in which this coun-
try has participated and only $685.
O0o.oo Of the sl,000,0 100000 goes to
World War veterans These World
War veterans. he continued, have re-
ceived only s2l810 100000 out of the
$4,000, 900, 600 expended.
The National Economy League does
not come into court with clean hands
in urging reduction in veterans assist
ance, Col. Taylor said, since its leaders
themselves receive Government pen
sionS.
He said Admiral Richard E. Byrd,
head of the league, receives $4,000 re-
tirement pay: Gen. James G. Harbord
gets $4,000: Admiral William T. Simms

M'KEE MAKES VAIN
EFFORT AT SAVING.
Mayor Admitted He Was
Licked at Start in Attempt
to Cut School Fund.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, october 28.-Acknowl-
edging he was licked at the start"
Mayor Joseph " Mckee tried in vain
today to effect s1,O0O,000 saving in
the 1888 city budget.
He proposed to the Board Of Esti-
mate a million dollar slash in the 81
267,765 set aside to pay teachers on
sick leave and the substitute teachers
who relieved them.
He said he was licked" in advance
because only two people in the city,
Assistant Budget Director Paul Loeser
and the auditor of the Board Of Edu-
cation, could understand the Education
Departments budget.
Supported by Harvey.
Every member of the board voted
against the mayor except George U,
Harvey, borough president of Queens,
who was McKees sole supporter yes
terday in the mayors attempt to save
81 ,Oo0, 900 by retiring all city employees
over 70 years old.
Mckee said he did not think teachers
ought to be paid while they were away
from work and at the same time nave
the city nav their substitutes He said
that every local school board had COM
planned Of a growing tendency on the
mart of teachers to take advantage OF
this situation.
In asking for the million dollar cut
from the Education Department budget
the mayor finally said he would be
willing to have a reduction OF only
$3.50 900, which he said is half the sum
paid to substitute teachers.
"The s2,267.756 has dwindled 10

troller Frank ]. Prial.

"Your question is clearly put to en-
barrass me-" Mckee retorted. I still
believe you could save 81 100000 Even
s350,o00 seems to me pig sum. II
It were only a nickle and 1t was in the
budget unnecessarily I'd want to take
it out. Anyway, in view Of the deputy
controllers remark. I'm going to move
to eliminate s1,0O0,000 from the ap-
You're going back to tft,e for ap-
pearance's sake" Prial charged.
DR.. Harold Campbell, associate super
intendent of schools. insisted that the
Board of Education could not carry on
if the reduction should be put through;
Il see that an attempt is being made
to put me on the spot" Mckee asserted.
1.-THE mayor is looking for tomor-
rows headlines Prial replied.
After the teachers cut was voted
down Mckee repeated his motion, but
with the proposed reduction set at
$3.50 900 instead of Sl,000,0 900. That
motion was also defeated with only the
mayor and Harvey supporting IT,
