IOWA VOTE, 5 TO ..
Number at Polls Surprises Even the
RepealiStS.

pES MONIES, Iowa, June 81 tPl.-
Iowa has joined the wet column OF
States favoring repeal of the eighteenth
amendment by q 3-to-2 vote.
Rolling up a vote against the amend
nient the size of which surprised even
the repealists, the State. dry by statute
since 1915, instructed the SO delegates
elected in yesterdays election to vote
for repeal at their convention July 10.
A huge repeal majority in the heavily
populated counties OF the State swung
the. balance in favor Of repeal, while
the. rural sections voted approximately
even for and against the proposal
The count, with 1904 of the State s
2,435 precincts reported, showed a vote
of 368,69l for repeal and 242,6l2
against. The remaining precincts were
scattered through % counties and could
not affect the final result.
OF the IL counties from which COM
plete returns were available, only 2S
of them were recorded in the dry COL
unnn. Taking the 80 counties as a
whole, IS or SO Of them appeared likely
to cast a majority in favor OF reten-
ton of the eighteenth amendment.
Yesterdays decision wrote another
chapter in the long continued battle
oveF liquor control which has enlivened
the. States history since 1886. In the
past it has voted both ways on pro-
hiAition, has tried out modified license,
local option and complete prohibition.
Commenting on the outcome, Gov.
CLYDE Herring said: 1T appears that
Iowa is done with the bootlegger and
the. racketeer"

DELAY IN PAY CUTS
BY CARRIERS SEEN
Probabilities Appear That
Eastman Plan Will Be
Adopted.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Indications were seen here today that
railroad arrangements will yield their
insistence on a wage reduction for their
employees to the administration request
for delay
Although complete backdoWn on
The part Of the railroad managers was
not expected, the feeling was expressed
that they veil at least yield to the eX-
tent of waving the 1212 per cent addi-
tional reduction which they notified the
union chiefs last week would become
effective November !.
Probabilities appeared to be that the
suggestion for maintenance of the
present status, advanced yesterday by
Joseph B. Eastman. co-ordinator of
transportation and administration rail-
road spokesman, will be accepted
Agreement Expires November /.
One of the questions discussed at
todays conference between Eastman
and the Management Committee of the
carriers was whether the status quo
shall be maintained for six months
from November l.
The present agreement under which
the railroad employees are working ex-
pires November l.
Under this, cut of 10 per cent in
wages became effective Is months ago,
but unless something Is done they
automatically revert to the old and
higher wage scale
The Management Committee met in
executive session Immediately after
comforting with Eastman to discuss
the situation and to endeavor to reach
some proposal the co-ordinator can
make to railroad labor chiefs.
Neither the managers nor railroad
labor heads would discuss the situation,
ferences must come from Eastman.
Two Aides Named.
At the close of the conference with
the managers, Eastman said negotia-
tions were progressing satisfactorily,
but that nothing definite as to a pos
sible agreement could be announced
The railroad managers were to COM
municate with him when they reached
some definite agreement. Whereupon he
planned to confer further with the
union chiefs.
Two assistants have been appointed
by Eastman, subject TO the approval OF
President Roosevelt.
They are James w Carmalt, former
chief examiner at the Interstate Com
merce Commission, but now engaged in
private practice and j. L. Rogers, an
attorney examiner for the commission.
Their exact titles and positions have
not been determined. Both are resi-
dents of Washington.

DERN IS STUDYING
FURLOUGH PLANS
No General DismissaIs Are
Likely to Occur in War
Department.

Definite assurance was given at the
War Department today that instead of
dismissals. the department is working
out details Of a general furlough plan
to apply as an economy measure to
civilian personnel.
Secretary Dern, 1t was said. Is very
much opposed to any general dismissal
among the 43,500 civilians on the War
Department rolls, believing that a mod
erately applied furlough plan would
work out to the best interests OF all.
At the price of retaining the full OFF,
Ger and enlisted strength of the Army
and National Guard. it is necessary for
the department to make drastic cur
tailments in other activities to effect
the $50000,000 saving which is the goal
of the coming fiscal year.
The civilian personnel, nearly 1000
of whom are employed in Washington,
will have to bear considerable portion
of the s50000,000 cut in expenditures.
The plan for a 10 per cent reduction
in civilian personnel, as was first con-
templated was abandoned and the
department feels comparatively certain
that it will be able to work out fur
Tough plan which would be spread out
over the year in a manner to exact the
smallest possible sacrifice.
approximately half Of the 24,60l
civilian employees outside Of Washing
ton are engaged in engineer work on
rivers and harbors development. 1t
was believed many of these can be put
to employment in the public works
program.
BY applying a furlough 1t was be-
lleved that the department could get
along with comparatively few dismissals
in cases where such a course would be
absolutely necessary
The duration of the furlough has not
vet been worked out. 1t was said in de-
partment circles, however, that it would
not exceed 30 days for any employe.
and probably would be on a two weeks
basis.

new ATHLETIC FIELD
FOR ROOSEVELT HIGH
Improvement Will Cost $4,000,
Engineer Commissioner Gotwals
Announces.

Roosevelt High School will be pro-
vided with an athletic field by the time
school reopens in September, Maj John
c. GotWals, Engineer Commissioner, an
nounced late yesterday.
The development he said. would be
made possible by use of an unexpended
balance Of $4,000 remaining from an
appropriation of 81 400 900 for the con-
struction Of the school and by use of
unemployed laborers on the District S
relief rolls
The plans call for an athletic field,
clnder running track and at least a
small grandstand together with neces-
sary grading and sodding
The development has been sought by
school officials, alumni and other
groups, but the school appropriation in
itself was not sufficient, according TO

gust, 1929, Mrs. Willebrandt falsely ac-
cused him Of attempting to obstruct
Justice in the prosecution Of his brother,
Heber Nations, after the latter had been
indicted for conspiring to violate the
Volstead act
Mrs. Willebrandt testified today that
there was one inaccuracy in her article
in that she had written that all Of the
defendants in the Heber Nations trial
in 1924 had pleaded guilty excepting
Heber Nations. She said that another
defendant, Raymond Griesedieck, did
not plead guilty to the indictment.
She also admitted that Gus o. Nations
had rejected an application for a permit
by the Griesedieck brewery in st. Louis,
which his brother was accused of pro-
tecting from Federal raids.

Long dry Iowa, with Connecticut and

July 18.
In the doubtful column when ballot
ing began. Iowa brought in substantial
majority for the repeal amendment,
even though it was not as big as that
in Connecticut and New Hampshire.
Bot with Gil 900 votes in, and only l30
precincts missing, her count was 36S,69l
for repeal and 242,612 against. That
meant she had instructed all of her 80
delegates to the State convention July 10
TO vote for repeal,
Other Two Not Doubtful.
From the start there had been no
question about what New Hampshire
and Connecticut would do. The former,
with a light ballot and only one small
town missing, voted rs 800 to 30,3S7 for
repeal.
In like fashion, Connecticut gave
a 6-to-1 majority to the twenty
first amendment, which repeals the
eighteenth. Her final unofficial total
vss 236el5 for repeal and 35,S4s
against.
With these three out of the way, Ala
bama and Arkansas provided the next
major battle-ground. The pros and the
ants are concentrating on them, even
though California and West Virginia do
vote earlier, On June 81.
Drys figure that if they can hold two
States this year the question VIII De
put over until 1884. when their chances
will be better. Wets would IKE 10 WIN
