HOOVER'S SHIFT
DISAPPOINTING
TO METHODISTS

WASHINGTON. Aug. %. U.P)-
The Methodist Episcopal church's
Board of Temperance and Prohib-
ition today expressed bitter dis
appointment" at President Hoover's S
shift on prohibition. The board
called upon supporters of the dry
laws to concentrate on election of
cry congressman in order to defeat
great monied conspiracy" for
return of liquor. Vice President
Curtis acceptance speech was
praised for honesty and courage"
in its dry stand
The boards statement, issued by
Deets Pickett, research secretary
charged that "wetS controlled pros
pective campaign funds" of both
Democrats and Republicans. It
suggested that this accounted for
them taking position hostile to
prohibition"
1t also asked If it was unjust to
believe that a deliberate effort has
been made by a small group of mil
lionaires to divert the thinking of
the nation from economic problems
by raising a general outcry for the
return of the legalized liquor traf-
fic."
The Methodist assault on Mr..
Hoover's new prohibition policy en-
phasized the split among prohibi-
ton organizations on the question
of supporting the President for re-
election. 1t followed by a few
hours a statement by DR.. Daniel A.
Polling reaffirming the decision of
the allied forces for prohibition to
the President.
Polling made public excerpts of
a letter in which Mr.. Hoover said:
I'VE are on common ground in
desire to rid this civilization of the
evils of the liquor traffic. We may
not all agree on method as I have
come TO the belief that we must,
through constructive and not de-
structive changes. revive the ener-
gies of the states to deal with the
new evils, with federal constitution
al guarantees against the return of
the old evils
Polling said the allied forces re-
served the right to oppose the Pres
ident's program in congress, but
an overwhelming majority of its ex-
ecutive committee believed his re-
election would Safeguard the gains
made under the 18th amendment"
