DRYS MAP CAMPAIGN
FOR CONVENTIONS
Conference Representing SO Groups
Meets to Combat Wet
Planks.

The national conference of organi-
cations supporting the eighteenth
amcndmCnt met today to consider
presidential campaign plans proposed
by its strategistS
The group. representing SO dry or
CARNATIONS. heard from members of its
own National Prohibition Board Of
Strategy as the two groups met in
strict secrecy.
They are expected to name COM
mittee to handle their work at the
Chicago conventions, seeking dry planks
in the platforms of both major pOliti-
cal parties. They are working also on
a declaration of principles in the light
of current prohibition agitation.
Women Of the Nation are overWheln-
ingly opposed to any steps toward re-
peal Of prohibition laws. Mrs. William
Tilton. radio chairman Of the Prohi-
bition Board of Strategy, declared in
a radio address last night.
Il have in my possession countless
kilograms from The organized women Of

PRESIDENT IS TOLD
DRY LAW is FAILURE
Pension Expenditures Also 0p-
posed by New Cork Young
Republican Club.

Expressing the opinion the expert
ment of constitutional prohibition has
failed" a delegation from the New
York Young Republican Club today
presented a statement to President
Hoover urging that repeal of the eight
eenth amendment be submitted to the
people through conventions in the
various States.
The delegation declared the prohibi-
tion law is being violated by rich and
poor alike and that communities are be-
ing terrorized by gangster control and
tainted with the greed of the rack
eteer."
The group told the President the or
ganization was not concerned with the
Technology of wet or dry" but is
fundamentally concerned with respect
for law and order and constituted au-
thority.
The delegation, headed by George H.
Sibley of New York City, also said in
the statement that the youth of our
country will no longer stand for pen
sion grabs by veterans uninjured in
war"
The President, after listening to the
statement, smiled and told the dozen
members of the group that he appre-
ciated their support He added that he
was not sure he could accept all the
suggestions offered, but told his listen
ers he was glad they came.
Earlier in the day Postmaster General
Brown, a high counsellor in the Hoover
ranks, expressed the opinion the Re-
publican platform prohibition plank
would be one ito which we all can sub
scribe"
Brown has been classed as among
those cabinet members who want other
than a strictly dry plank.
He did not elaborate his view today
on the exact nature of the plank ex-
pected to be had. but again reported
progress being made on the platform
as whole and indicated an expectation
that both those who favor national pro-
hibition as it stands and those who lean
toward a change would be satisfied.
Only yesterday, another highly placed
Republican, Representative Smell. the
party leader in the House, said the
plank would be liberal"

For perhaps the first time in the

continued. we now have accurate sta
tistical data showing the cost Of living
for given years. the number of dollars
paid to Federal workers. the amount
of goods those dollars could buy, which
means real wages, and then a recapit-
uation Of the losses sustained by virtue
of declining purchasing power and
markedly rising living costs.
These data which we now have in
hand prove conclusively that in addi-
ton to receiving salaries which are low
Government workers have had the fur
ther handicap of the above mentioned
economic factors While wages in pri-
vate industry and business have risen
sharply in line with the reduced value
of the dollar and the enhanced cost of

have been commensurate in no way

Figures Are Cited.

PREMIER J. I. LANG
LOSES LONG FIGHT
Australian Legislative Issue
Settled by British Privy

LONDON, June l. - The Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council yes
terday dismissed the appeal of Premier
j. T. Lang of New South Wales against
the decision of the New South Wales
Supreme Court preventing the abolition
of the states legislative council.
SYDNEY. New South Wales. June
(P).-No political question since the
federation over 80 years ago has agitat
ed Australia as did the appeal to the
Privy Council at London. involving the
fate of the upper house in the New
South Wales Legislature.
Premier j. T. Lang regained power
nearly two years ago after stating in
his campaign speeches that one of the
things he intended to do was abolish
the upper house, which defeated
number of his legislative projects shortly
after he assumed Office.
ThWarted in some of his drastic

Lang moved its abolition. The previous
government had Anticipated the move.
however, and amended the constitution
to make necessary a referendum to the
people before the Council could be done
away With
Lang claimed that. in having men
tened abolition of the upper house dur
ing his campaign. the referendum al
ready had been taken. The upper cham
ber was presented with a bill from the
lower house providing for its own de-
mise constitutional lawyers advised its
passage, realizing that the upper house
could be swamped with new members
enough to assure passage if Lang was
opposed.
Court action was taken under the
previous government constitutional
amendment. but Lang replied to this by
a further measure TO repeal the previous
constitutional amendment. The upper
house passed this also. then made ap-
plicatiOn to the high court for an in
junction restraining the governor from
giving his assent to both measures
The injunctions were granted and
Lang appealed to the Imperial Privy
Council at London. The councils de-
cision against him was handed down
today.

Present methods of providing and
paying for medical services are wastcful
and medical facilities are unorganized
and uncO-ordinated
Care Unequal
The people do not receive adequate
medical care because Of economic rea-
sons and because medical facilities are
unequally distributed
The costs of illness are not evenly
distributed. with some paying little or
nothing and others. who can Ill afford
it, being loaded with debt by an espe-
Cially severe Illness.
The public spends an undue amount
for substandard practitioners, drugs and
medicines, and
Incomes Low.
Incomes Of many medical men are
frequently so uncertain and low as to
constitute grave problem.

HOUSE TO FIGHT
FLAT PAY SLASH
Exemption Left by Senate
for Later Compromise,
Members Believe.

Members Of the House are prepared
to fight against the fiat 10 per cent cut
in salaries for all Government employees
as provided in the Senate bill.
They feel generally that the omission
of any exemption by the Senate is for
trading purposes and that compromise
will be reached on an exemption Of
from 81 500 TO $1,000 Some prominent
members expressed the belief the
exemption will go as high as $4,000,
but the general opinion seemed to be
that $1,000 is probably the highest
exemption that will be allowed in
compromise.
Protect Small Salaries.
Some of the leading members of the
House today expressed the opinion the
House would be ready to approve a
heavier cut than 10 per cent On SAL
aries above $4,000 or S3.500. However.
there is a rather general belief that in
conference only the two proposals act
ed upon by the House and Senate can
be considered and that any compromise
to be reached must come between these
two. That is. the exemption must be
something under 81. 500 and that the
fiat cut in salaries cannot go higher
than II per cent in the bill as passed
by the House
Members of the House freely stated
in CLOAK room conversation that they
could not possibly go before their con-
stituentS for reelection if the salary
cut hit Government employees receiving
$500 or less at a fiat rate the same
as applied to their own salaries.
Early Action Desired
There is a disposition among House
members to reach a compromise with
the Senate as soon as possible. but to
insist upon reasonable exemption to
protect those Government employees
who are already receiving a mere pit
lance.
