VETS ELATED;
SEE DEFEAT OF
80 HOUSE DRYS
Unexpected Court Rulings
Will Add to Repeal
Strength, Is Claim.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON. July 23.-An un-
expected gain of about thirty wet
members Of the house was predicted
by anti-prohibition leaders today as
a result of reapportionment diff
culties confronting congressional
candidates in Kentucky, Missouri
Minnesota and New York.
The supreme courts decision in
the Minnesota reapporuonment case
has forced representatives in that
state and Missouri to run at large
So must two additional members in
New York, three in Texas and others
in other states.
Now federal court in Kentucky
has handed down a decision having
the same effect on the Blue Grass
states eleven legislators.
Democrats to Benefit
With the urban, wet vote likely to
determine the outcome in these
sections, it is predicted that anti
prohibition candidates viii be favor
ties over their dry opponents.
Democrats are expected to benefit
more than the Republicans from
the situation, and a gain of at least
fifteen vets are counted on in Min
nesota, Missouri and Kentucky.
The two successful, at-large can
didates in New York are almost
sure to be wet, as the state has
voted that way several times. More
over, Democrats claim they will
sweep out all Republican members
except possibly five.
La Guardia Is Wet
Of these five one, Representative
F. H. La Guardia of New York, is
leader of the wet bloc in the house,
Such an outcome would mean the
New York delegation would have
forty-one vets instead of twenty
seven.
The Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment will make
a determined fight for repeal candi-
dates in these regions, although it
will not abandon its nonpartisan
role In a statement on the organ
ization's campaign plans, Pierre S.
Du Pont, chairman, said it would
support all candidates who favor
scrapping the eighteenth amend
ment.
The Democratic platform is
clear-cut and supports our aims, -
he said. Therefore, we should find
in the Democratic party candidates
who will propose and recommend
repeal without qualification.
