 Washington, Aug 12.-(UP)- The movement against national prohibition advanced to new ground today with the declaration of President Hoover that he fa- vors "a change" in the eighteenth amendment.
 In his acceptance speech, MT Hoover favored changing the amendment to give control of the liquor traffic to the states. with federal protection for dry states and measures to prevent return of the saloon in any state, wet or dry.
 This switch from his former al- legfance to the 18th amendment has boiled the entire prohibition problem as political issue down to the question of "repeaP' or "re- vision''; the question now is not whOther there shall be a change, but what kind of 2 change shall

The curb market entered the
initial session of trading in the

of sulky mood, with lack of
interest on the buying side in
fluencing a generally lower level

as American Superpower, ASSo-

demand for stocks was concerned.
Flood of Selling
Before the end of the first
half-hour the market was greeted
with an outpouring of selling or

eral Motors, Western Union and
Westinghouse to the lowest prices
for the entire bear market, while
United States Steel and Ameri-
can Telephone dipped to within
o fraction of their low levels.
Surprising weakness was shown,
by General Motors, which fell
off about 2 points to 20A in
heavy offerings.
From the stock market stand
point today's selling represented
the final disposal of the leftovers
from the year-end liquidation.
Meeting with indifferent buying
demand from either investment
or speculative quarters, these
stocks dipped under the lowest
prices recorded in 1881.

Auburn Auto fell off 712 points
from its opening price when the

Research has escaped the de-

For this reason, it is pointed
