6. G.O.P.WETSSET
To WIN HOUSE
FOR REPEAL
"BIoc" Led by Beck Ready
to Join Democratic Drive
For Passage Monday

The Republican wet bloc" In
the House today joined hands with
Democratic leaders in the drive
for passage of the Senate prohibi'
ton repeal resolution Monday.
Representative James M. Beck
of Pennsylvania, chairman Of the
Republican group, expressed the
belief that the previous Republi.
can wet vote would be increased.
With Democratic leaders de-
manding party support for the
repeal resolution as it passed
the Senate, on the ground that
it carried out a mandate Of the
Democratic platform, the Repub-
lican group declared it meets
the demands the anti-prohibition-
lists have been making for years.
Bigger Vote Seen
Republicans, who furnished
1O3 votes for repeal on the open
ing day Of the session, hope to
increase the number to ITO.
Representative Rainey of Illi-
nois, Democratic leader, likewise
predicted that the Democrats
would furnish at lea; ten more
votes for repeal.
Thirty-one Democrats had
notified him at noon that they
would not abide by the caucus
decision to support the resolu-
ton.
With a Democratic administra-
ton taking over the Government
March 4, the possibility of being
shorn of their patronage dangled
before Democrats who defied the
party caucus on the issue.
The repeal resolution will be
brought to a vote Monday after
40 minutes debate, with Speaker
Garner using his authority to per-
nit passage under suspension OF
rules.
Despite their confidence, the
Democratic leaders continued
their drive for votes. Dry organi-
cations deluged members with
pleas to oppose the resolution.
Garner Discounts Fear
Fear on the part of some op-
ponents of the convention method
of repeal that Congress would
call state conventions was molli-
fled by Speaker Garner. He
said:
"If the repeal resolution is
adopted, State Legislatures now
in session can call the con-
ventions.
"I think even legislatures Op-
posed to prohibition would
give the people chance to
express themselves"
Failures of States to call con-
ventions, Garner said, would pre-
sent a question for a future Con-
gress. Some constitutional law
yers hold that Congress can step
in and call the conventions.
The Republican wet bloc"
planned to indQrse the Blaine
resolution today with Representa-
tive Beck of Pennsylvania its
leader, warning anti-prohibition-
lists that their real fight to end
prohibition begins when the reso-
luton is adopted.

CLEARED,
FIGHTS BACK

A charge of robbery against
John G. zicopoulos, a restaurant
chef, was dropped in Police Court
today when he proved an alibi.
ZicopouloS had been identified
as the man who held up Roland
V. Parker, of the 1000 block
Eleventh st. N. W., in the 1900
block K st. N. w. Parker said
the robber took 75c.
Parker, who is an assistant to
Capt. Edward Page CASTOR, self
appointed inaugural prohibition
agent, identified Zicopoulos as
the robber. The chef, however,
proved he was not at the scene
of the robbery at the time
Parker said it occurred.
zicopouloS was bitter in his de-
nunciation Of CASTOR and his
aide. He said:
ut was nothing but a pub
licity dodge on the part Of
CASTOR and his man. They
wanted to get their names in
the papers and they were will
ing to sacrifice the reputation
of any man to do it. 1 have

CHICAGO, Aug. 80 Q.N.SO.-
Further liquidation of September

Near noon wheat was 112 to

NEW YORK, Aug. 80 GN.SJ.
Steel production declined further
in the current week with the
national average placed at At
per cent of capacity as against
so per cent in the preceding week,
according to the weekly Iron Age
summary today.
Part of the decline in produc-
ton is attributable to prior pur-
chaSes for stocking purposes,
prompted by the upward trend of
prices, although considerable is
believed due to uncertainties
growing out of nationwide read
justment to the NRA program.
Code Over-ShadOwing
The filing of prices under the
steel code has overshadowed
other considerations in the past
week. Information at hand, how
ever, indicates that there have
been relatively few changes in
steel prices, although there have
been rather widespread advances
in pig iron.
The new quotations are limited
to deliveries during the remainder
of the third quarter. Fourth
quarter prices cannot be filed be-
fore September l, since the code
stipulates that shipments cannot
be made beyond four months
after the closing of a contract.
