HOOVER, ROOSEVELT
ASKED ABOUT LIQUOR
POLICIES BY CANNON
Both Reported to Be Opposed to
Return OF Saloon; Letters
Made Public

Washington, Oct. -Presiden.
Hoover and Governor Roosevelt have
been requested by Bishop James
Cannon, Jr., and four associates to
state their specific plans for prevent
ing the return of the saloon and for
protecting dry states if existing pro-
hibition laws are revised.
Letters to the presidential candi-
dates were made public Friday night.
Both candidates were quoted as be-
ing opposed to return of the saloon
and then they were asked:
When the federal brand Of GRIM
inal is removed from the beverage
liquor traffic and that traffic Is again
legalized. what definite specific plan
to you intend to propose to prevent
the return Of the Infamous intolerable
saloon system which admittedly was
smashed by the adoption of the 18th
amendment? -.
What definite specific method do
you intend to propose to protect the
dry states?
Each nominee also was asked
whether he will stand for the reten-
ton Of the 18th amendment il
after very careful consideration you
find yourself unable to propose any
definite plan which will effectively
prevent the return of the saloon or its
equivalent and will effectively protect
the dry states?"
Another question directed at each
candidate was whether pending any
change in the present prohibition
regime, he, as president, would 'cau
upon congress to supply adequate
funds for enforcement of the 18tl
amendment as of other federal laws
President Hoover was asked II he
would recommend any modification
in the Volstead act, and whether he
would sign or veto any such modifi-
cation passed by congress on its own
initiative.
Governor Roosevelt was asked If
the codification in the VolStead ACT
demanded by the Democratic plat
form would not inevitably greatly
increase the difficulties of effective
prohibition enforcement of which the
president OF the United States must
swear to uphold and moreover
utterly fail to satisfy those clamoring
tor modification of the law -"

PASADENA, Calf, December IL
A new study for general science was
proposed here today by Prof. Fritz
Zwicky with a suggestion it may bare
universal life secrets underlying all
matter of the universe.
This study involves what the pro-
fessor of astrophysics of the California
Institute of Technology described to
the closing session of the American
Physical Society here as cooperative
phenomena"
Taking cross section Of the dis
coveries in physics, astronomy, chem
istry, biology and other fields of re-
search, he finds q strange relations
between evidences Of this cooperative
phenomena"
For instance, he says, when a motor
car is going too fast around a corner
and overturns, the most distant stars
are even more responsible for the dis
aster due to gravitational effect than
the sun or earth itself.

which is in the range Of thousandth

NEW YORK, December 17.-Counse
! for creditors OF the Insult Utility In.

knew that Samuel insult was broke.
Young answered mo- to the Ques.
ton Didn't you know that Mr.. In
sull was financially irresponsible IN De-
cember, 1881, when he offered his IN
dorsement to you for the loan N2,''
100000 from the General Electric co..
that he was broke?"
The chairman of the General Elec-
trio Co. was then asked by Attorney
Lewis Jacobson, representing the
creditors:
do you know that he is broke now2'
Affairs Not "Probed."
II suppose he is" Young replied
Il haven't probed his affairs"
When did you find out he was
, broke?"
Young said that last February, in q
conversation with the former Chicago
utilities magnate, he learned that In
cations.
This was Young's second and last
day as witness in the hearing before
Referee John Joyce, at which Attorney
Jacobson has sought throughout to fix
an approximate time when New York
financial interests knew of the ilnpend-
ing collapse Of the insult utility
structure.
jacobson expressed surprise that In
sull would go to the General Electric
Co. for loan
He was a large customer" replied
Young, land II he was in need Of q
million or two, it was not extraordinary
that he should come to us for it."
Interest in Collateral.
The matter of insults personal in
dorsement of this loan to his holding
company precipitated the questioning
as to his financial responsibility at the
time. Young replied that his interest
lay only in collateral for loan. that he
was not greatly concerned" with the
financial statements.
In response to questions dealing with
his services as an intermediary between
New York bankers and insult, during
the negotiations for "stand-still agree
ment" on collateral, Young replied:
My efforts through February and
March Q932) were to see whether there
was any way Of avoiding receivership.
Because I knew well that If 1t could not
be avoided, many thousands OF investors
might suffer. That is why we tried to
carry that company along"
The investment company was thrown
into receivership April l6, after the COL
lapse of the agreement.

gradual Frightening after totality.
"The motion pictures obtained show
several definite landmarks that gradu-

into view again. They were visible for
only nine seconds, while q 14-second
duration of totality was predicted for
these landmarks"
