WARNING
GIVEN PARTIES

Efforts to write wet planks
into the platforms of the two
major political parties will meet
with the opposition of the ma,
tional prohibition board of
strategy, Edwin C. Dinwiddie,
executive secretary, announced
today.
The ultimatum includes any
effort to change existing law,
no matter under what guise it
may be made, Dinwiddie declared
in no uncertain terms. He said
Referendum only means re-
submission for repeal, prevail
ing sentiment nationally among
the great body of dry Repub-
icans throughout the country
forces the conviction that the
party cannot go wet without
abandoning all hopes of success
at the polls"
The Democrats were likewise
warned against repudiation OF
prohibition.

CONGRESS SURE
Of LONG TERM

Things have reached such a
chaotic state in Congress that
Senate leaders of both parties to-
day had almost given up hope
of a final adjournment of the
session before the national con-
ventions in June. It now looks
likely that Senate and House will
agree on a three to four weeks
recess during the convention Pc
riod, returning to work after the
close of the Democratic national
convention, which meets in Chi
cago June 27.
The Republicans meet in the
same city two weeks earlier, June
IA. The G. o. P. conclaVe may
last only three or four days, the
denomination of President Hoover
seeming assured.
Democratic delegates, however,
are expected to battle long over
a dozen or more candidates. and
the big prohibition issue.
The tax bill, which now has
the House in a Snarl, is not ex-
pected to reach the Senate for
two weeks and after hearings by
its Finance Committee the Senate
will debate on taxation a long
time-aS it always does.
In addition to it's tax troubles
the Senate is making slow
progress on annual appropriation
bills. Already two have been
sent back to the Appropriations
Committee with formal instruc,
tions to revamp the bill and re-
duce the aggregate totals by 10
per cent,

ance of only $4,000 in the school
