CLEANUP CAMPAIGN |S BEGAN CONGRESS 0N ALL
 PENDING PROBLEMS

Washington, June 30, P1-With it's legislative program just about completed except for relief meas ures,. Congress plunged anew into vigorous cleanup campaign by rushing toward completion minor problems.
 The Senate, after passing all regular appropriations bills, took up relatively inconsequential meas ures before resuming consideration of Philippine independence.
 The House marked time as it's program is finished except for the money bills which are now in con- ference. There is hope that all ap- propriation bills, except that for the War department, would be at the White House before the new financial year dawned at midnight tonight.
 Should the bills fail to become law before the new fiscal year, the government would be forced to op- crate on "its face" or on a credit basis. This is certain to lead to ex- tra expense and complexities.

DEMO PROH|B|T|ONPLANK PROVIDES FOR IMMEDIATE
 MODIFICATION DRY LAW

CHICAGO STADIUM, June 30.- The text of the plank for prohi- bition repeal adopted by the Demo- cratic convention early this morn ing follows:
 we favor the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. To effect such repeal, we demand that Con- gress immediately propose a con- stitutional amendment to truly re- presentative conventions in the states called to act solely on that proposal. We urge the enactment of such measures by the several states as will effectually promote temperance, effectively prevent re- turn of the saloon and bring the liquor traffic into the open under complete supervision n control by the states.
 we demand the federal govern sment effective exercise it's power to enable the states to effectively protect themselves against impor- tation of intoxicating liquors ir violation of their laws.
 Pending such repeal we favor immediate modification of the Vol stead Act to legalize the manufac- ture and sale of beer and other beverages of such alcoholic con- tent as is permissible under the Constitution and to provide there from a proper and needed revenue.

DEMO PARTY WRITE IN REPEAL PLANK
 NOMINATION NEXT

CHICAGO, June 30, (P)-Th e Democratic party wrote in plank for the repeal of prohibition to head their platform and then nov ed toward the nomination of can- didates with Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt pressing his advantage against his scattered rivals.
 As time for balloting on the par tvs choice approaches, Roosevelt is apparently hardly more than 100 votes short of the ITO needed for the nomination, but his foes are as insistent as ever that he will be stopped.
 It was admitted by Roosevelt supporters that more than half of the conventions 1,154 votes was based on orders given to the dele gates at home caucusSes, Predict ions made by leaders here showed Roosevelt could claim 645 votes on the first ballot, at least, but more liberal calculation showed him increasing that total somewhat.
 Farley, campaign manager for Roosevelt, claimed a poll of 690 on the first roll call and enough delegates would switch before it is over to decide the issue. The op- position is working hard, however.
 The program for today called for converting at noon. McAdoo urged that in the minority report, bank depositors guarantee be included in the plank; a roll call on "Alfafa Bill" Murray's minority platform; a roll call on the McAdoo minority report, and adoption of the plat form, as we'll as roll call of States for nomination speeches.
 The convention was to be in re- cess from six o'clock until nine o'clock tonight.

WR|NG|NC WET DEMO
 PROHIBITION PLANK ADOPTED CONVENTION

CHICAGO, June 30, (P-After hours of wrangeling over the next Democratic campaign document, the resolution committee adopted a prohibition plank committing the party to favor the repeal of the 18th amendment and immediate modification of the Volstead act, by vote of 35 to 18.
 Then followed the committees wading through extended disputes over the silver tariff declarations which the party will take to the people at the coming election.
 Meanwhile, the whole platform will not be ready for the conven- tion before 4 o'clock this after ternoon. The convention recessed at 2:19 until o'clock this evening. This means most of the nominat- ing speeches for president will be delayed until tomorrow.
 No ballots will be taken until late tomorrow at the earliest.
 Roosevelt headquarters disavow- ed any connection with the at tempt attributed to Frank Scho- field, manager for Melvin Tray Tor, to Roosevelt supporters, to have Traylor withdraw from the campaign. Schofield said the man who described himself as a Rosse- welt supporter offered him $10,000 to withdraw his candidacy.
 At Albany, airplanes with pilots standing by, waited at the airport to fly Governor Roosevelt to the convention. It is believed that when he is nominated he will fly to the convention and address the convention session which opened at noon, but transacted no busi- ness as they are waiting for the platform report.
 The prohibition dispute will have the right of way as the minority will proba bly, carry the fight to the floor. The committee approved the plank committing the party to competitive tariff" based on revenue only after sharp debate.

ALASKAN DELEGATES HEARTILY SUPPORTED
 THE WET MAJORITY

CHICAGO, June 30, (P)-Alaska's s placard was born aloft by Mrs. w. B. Kirk, wife of Delegate Kirk of Juneau, Wednesday night, as the Democrats put on noisy demon stration in favor of repeal of the national prohibition laws.
 Although the rest of the Alaska delegation did not join in the pro- cession they nevertheless heartily supported the wet majority. In fact the language of the prohibition plank referring to the immediate repeal of the Volstead act to legal ize wines and beer was said by other delegates to have been referred by John w. Troy, of Juneau, to Sen- ator David I. Walsh, a personal friend of publisher Troy, late We'd nesday and the resolutions com- mittee considered tentively the ap- proval of the home rule blanks for the territories of Alaska and Hawaii but with the consent of the Alaskan and Hawiian delegation they were not includued in the tentative plat form.
 The reason for this was that it was desired to keep the platform short and confined to subjects of a national scope and for which req son the Territories agreed for the commission of their blanks.
