HOOVER, STILL
DRY, SEEKS TO
KEEP SILENCE
Policy Is to Discourage Dis
cussion of Issue Before
Convention.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

fCopVrinht, 1882. nV United PreSsl
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The
most authoritative information avail
able represents President Herbert
Hoover as holding his dry views, de-
spite a pronounced desire among
some Republican leaders to resub-
NIT the prohibition issue to the
country.
Renewed activity over the prohi-
bition question has led to many at
tempts to elicit from Mr.. Hoover
some public statement of his atti-
tude on what position the party
should take this year. He has de-
clined to make one.
The information herein comes
from other sources. 1t is to the
effect that Mr.. Hoover has in
Dictated privately that he intends
to stand by the position he took
when he ran for President before
which was for retention of the
eighteenth amendment
President Keeps Old Views
On modification, he said that to
permit that which the Constitution
forbids would be notification, and
that this would not be countenanced
by the American people.
Further, he is represented as feel
ing that he has an obligation to
those who supported him on pro-
hibition in 1923, and that to yield to
the anti-prohibition wing of the
party, now, would be a desertion Of
thousands of loyal friends, with no
ground other than expediency to
justify it.
His policy is to discourage dis
cussion of prohibition as a party
question. Feeling on both sides is
so strong that there is fear of pro-
voking a serious split by agitation
prior to the convention.
Statements Are Scarce
This accounts for the scarcity Of
statements on the subject from Re-
publican sources.
Contrary to the practice of their
Democratic opponents, the more
troublesome a question becomes, the
tless Republicans talk about it
publicly.
The Republican party is as badly
split over prohibition as the Demo-
cratic party. The managers want
to gather in as many votes as pos
sible from both sides.
Therefore, many of the modifica-
tiOnists and those who merely want
a referendum plank, favor going
ahead without consulting the Presi-
dent. They expect that if any rea-
sonable plank calling for rejudg-
ment of the question were inserted
in the platform Mr.. Hoover would
not object
Strategy Being Mapped
They realize he would be serious
ly embarrassed if they tried to
change his position, so they Guilt
waite the doctrine that the candi-
date has nothing to do with shap-
ing the plaform-that being the
work of the convention-and that,
therefore, there is no reason to
bring Mr.. Hoover into the contro-
versy.
The result of this strategy, if sue
cessful, would be a dry candidate
on referendum platform, making
it possible for the campaign to en-
phaSize one in drV states and the

We will give you the bidding and play with three different variations | The hand was played in one of the | auction chan pionship events. At one table, South bid one spade, North two hearts, South | three clubs, North three no trump The six of diamonds was opened by East, which the dummy won with the jack.
 The heart finesse was taken and the jack of spades returned, East covering, dummy winning with the ace. Another heart finesse was taken. A club was led and won in dummy with the ace. Two rounds of spades were won in dummy and then two rounds of diamonds I taken.
 West was squeezed on the second
 diamond. If he discarded a club, all the clubs would be good. If he discarded a heart, declarer could pick up his king of hearts with
 the ace and all the hearts would
 be good. A grand slam in no trump was thereby made by North.
 At another table South bid one spade, North two hearts and South went to two,~ no trump. The four of clubs was opened by West. which the deciarer won with the ten. South takes the heart finesse.

 By playing the; hand out. you will find that East becomes
 squeezed and South can make a
 grand slam at no trump.
 At the other table the bidding
 was South one spade, North two r,o
