Eagleton. professor of government at
New York University.
It Is possible to make this contention,
Prof. Eagleton said in an interview to-
day. because of the wording Of the
covenant, which lists the United States
as a member, and because the United
States demanded and received certain
rights under the treaty of Versailles.
even though this country did not
sign it.
The United States, Prof. Eagleton
says, apparently was listed as a mem
ber in the belief it would ratify the
treaty of Versailles, prequlSite to
original membership.
This country did not sign the treaty
and refused to join the League. None
fheless. says Prof. Eagleton. it would
seem possible to argue that treaty
may confer benefits or obligations upon
q state which has not ratified that
treaty.
..The United States" he said, made
such a claim with regard to the treaty
of Versailles, when it demanded par
ticipation in the assignment and formu-
lation of the terms Of the mandates.
though it had just refused to ratify the
treaty dealing with the mandates, and
its claim was conceded.

NEW ORLEANS, January 16.-The
political campaign that started mildly
will close Monday night after weeks Of
hot attacks and counter attacks on the
stump over the election of State Of
ficers.
Two columns of voters will go to
the polls Tuesday In the Democratic
primary election, the pro-Huey Longs
and the anti-Huey Longs, as the COM
bination Governor-Sen has become
the prime issue in the campaign.
Huey Long launched a State ticket
headed by o. K. Allen for Governor
and has actively supported him. Long
has made at least hundred speeches,
In which he assailed opposition candi-
dates and urged voters to elect the
Allen ticket to complete the Long
program.
The opposition ticket is split among
four candidates, the most active OF
whom are Dudley j. lie Blanc and
George Seth Guion.
LIE Blanc, who is of French extrac-
ton and comes from the Evangeline
country, addresses his followers IN the
French dialect of the parishes and has
accused O. K. Allen with being de-
scendant of the British General Allen,
who drove the Acadians out Of Nova
Scotia and into Louisiana. Allen de-
MES any such ancestry. lie Blanc also
advocates an old age pension.
Guion promises the voters cure for
"Long-ism and to bring dignity back
to the Office of Governor.
Each of the candidates has full
State ticket of his own, ranging from
Governor to constable.

Washington's Beer
Recipe Is Read by
Tydings in Senate
Hawes' Letter to Bingham
Also Tells of Wine and
Whisky Making.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In the Senate yesterday Senator
Tvdings, Democrat, Maryland, read the
following letter written by Senator
Halves Democrat, Missouri, to Senator
Bingham, Republican, Connecticut,
who is the author of bill to legalize
per cent beer:
EYou, of course are familiar with
George Washington making each year
large quantities of wine and distilling
whisky which he not only used but
sold, and undoubtedly on visits to
Mount Vernon have viewed with some
envy his silver pocket flask, the larger
flask which he used on his saddle when
horseback riding, and the third flask
which he carried in his coach.
Possibly you do not possess copy
of his famous recipe for making beer,
written in his own handwriting, as fol-
lows:
hops to your taste. Boil these three
hours, then strain out 80 gallons into
a cooler. Put in three gallons molasSes
while the beer Is scalding hot, or, rather,
draw the molasses into the cooler and
strain the beer on 1t while boiling hot.
Let this stand till 1t Is little more
than blood warm, then put In quart
of yeast. If the weather is very cold
cover it over with blanket and let
it work in the cooler "a hours, then
nut it into the caSk. Leave the bung
open until it is almost done working,
Bottle it that day week it was brewed. ;
you may derive some personal
benefit and satisfaction in experiment
ing with this recipe In addition to
calling it to public attention"

sion of the eighteenth amendment or
any proposal to modify it unless 1t
come in the same way that the
eighteenth amendment was adopted, by
the adoption of resolution by two

proposing such an amendment.
Senator Sheppard eulogized prohibit
ton, declaring that its benefits to the
American people had been great, and
deriding the vets who said that drink
ing could compare in volume today to
the drinking in the United States before
the days of national prohibition.
Senator Tydings. declaring himself
for temperance, insisted the drys had
gone the wrong way about getting 1t.
He wanted to know why AL Capone, the
major scale, had never been tried and
convicted of violating the prohibition
laws when he was known to have vio-
lated them every day for years, and
why the Federal Government had
finally resorted to trying him for
violation of the income tax law.

Government" demanded Senator Tyd-
ings, referring to Capone. "Capone was
Can a man be stronger than the Police
Department? He was. The best you
could do was to fine and imprison Ca
pone for violation of the income tax
law"
Tydings insisted that there is neither
prohibition nor temperance in this
country today He added that such mat
tiers as prohibition can be dealt with
only by the local communities; you
can't send a man from Washington
D c., to Seattle, Wash, and have it
DONE" he said. He said that the recent
victories of wet Democratic candidates
for Congress in New Hampshire and
Michigan showed the way sentiment
was veering against the drys. To this

RELIEF PROBLEMS

Pinchot and Roosevelt Agree
During Long Talk in
Philadelphia.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, January 16.-The
Democratic Governor of New York and
the Republican Governor of Pennsyl-
yania, both possibilities as presidential
candidates, met here today and agreed
on one thing-their unemployment re-
lief problems are similar.
Gov Roosevelt, here to attend the
wedding of his son Elliott to MISS
Elizabeth Browning Bonner at Bryn
MaWr today, and Gov. Pinchot talked
for the better part of an hour IN the
New York Governors hotel suite.
While they were together on the sew
enth floor the lobby of the hotel, filed
with New York political leaders with
a sprinkling from Pennsylvania, buzzed
with speculation as to what 1t was all
about.
''MereIy Snapped Views"
eve merely snapped views on unem-
ployment relief legislation" said Gov.
Roosevelt after the meeting.
That's right" said Gov. Pinchot.
All efforts to draw out the New York
Governor on the question of his candi-
dacy for the Democratic presidential
nomination were futile. He laughed of
all fead1ng questions.
He asserted he was not talking poll
tics and he was on three-day vaca-
ton. After attending the wedding and
the reception at the home of the brides
parents GOV Roosevelt returned by au-
tomobile to New York.
On the unemployment problem, Gov
Roosevelt said:
Find Common Problem.
1--WE have found common problem
in the two States, especially concern
ing unemployment relief. New York
City is in much the same position as
Philadelphia They are having difficulty
in borrowing and are cutting their bud
get. The upstate cities have cut their
budgets heavily and are now in pretty
good shape"
Gov. Pinchot expressed satisfaction
over his talk with Gov Roosevelt.
I'VE are in accord on most every
thing" he said Conditions are SINH
lar in the two States in some respects
but they are very different on the sub
ject Of taxation"
Among those who saw Gov. Roosevelt
here today were Norman E. Mack
Democratic national committeeman from
New York, and Joseph F. Guffey OF
Pittsburgh. former Democratic national
committeeman from Pennsylvania. Guf-
fey is on record as stating that Gov.
Roosevelt will have at least 66 of Penn

DRY LAW AUTHOR
SCORES BEER BILL
Declares Measure Would
Open "SaIoon Doors, Brass
Rails and AH."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, January 1B.-An-
drew J. Volstead, author Of the prohi-
bition enforcement act, today wrote 10
Senator Bingham of Connecticut that
his bill legalizing per cent beer "as
drawn opens wide the old saloon doors,
brass rails and all"
The 18th anniversary Of national
prohibition brought from Volstead, now
legal adviser TO the district dry law
enforcement administrator here. the
declaration that II am still for prohi-
bition" He branded the proposed law
as one which would tend to depress
business and not afford relief"
On January Volstead was invited
by the Connecticut Republicans TO ap-
pear before the Senate Manufactures
Committee during hearings on the beer
bill. 20
volstead Refuses Bid.
volstead refused. saying he would 60
to washington only in response to
subpoena. Bingham announced no
subpoena would be issued
In his letter Volstead said: Your
appeal to me for help is misdirected.
I never did say that a beverage such
as beer containing 2 or per cent OF
alcohol is not intoxicating. The dis
cuSsion referred to by you was in re-
gard to the fruit juices authorized un-
der section 90 of the prohibition act.
Whatever statement was made was
in view of the fact that fruit juices
usually contain too much sugar or
solids to be drunk in any large guam
titles. The Government has repeat
edly authorized the sale Of wine with
q much larger alcoholic content than
3 per cent that contained sugar or
other equally harmless ingredients 10
prevent its consumption In intoxicating
quantities"
Trick to Deceive Public.
He concluded with why not unmask
and tell us plainly that from political
standpoint the vets think beer more,
important than the Constitution ana
that the pretenses of the vets that they
are opposed to the saloon Is but
shifty trick to deceive the public"
Volstead said Your appeal for beer
on the ground that it will provide
tremendous source OF the revenue that
is greatly needed is, as I view IL, based
on a deluSiOn."
Before the World War the Govern
ment received from taxes on malt
liquors less than seventy million doll,
lars annually, he asserted, and con-
tinued:
rs it reasonable to believe that with
millions of people out of work the Ped
eral Cover nment could collect even
half of that sum now. especially since
a large majority of the beer drinkers
have long since given up the beer
drinking habit?" ,.
He then asked, who are the ones
who paid this tax?" and answered,
Not the rich; not the aristocrat. Com
paratively few of them care for plebeian
beer. They drink wines and highballs,
Still they appear to be the principal
advocates Of the beer bill and they
frankly confess that one OF the chief
reasons for pleading for beer is to re-
lieve them from paying income taxes"
