H0YT RESIGNS
AS ALCOHOL
CHIEF
Health Given as Cause
But 'Cramped Style
Seen as Reason
By EARL GOODWIN

Judge FRANKLIN C. Hoyt, Fed
eral Alcohol Administrator, has
resigned and the White House
announces his resignation, which
was effective yesterday.
The resignation has creased
considerable gossip in Washing.
ton and in the liquor manufac'
turers' industry, as "the trade"
looked on Judge Hoyt as a man
Of great ability and fairness. And
yet, it was persistently rumored
that he would not stay In the
government as long as his admin.
istration was a part Of the Treas
ury, subjecting him to the cramp-
ing influences of government
bureaucratic organization.
This matter Of cramped style,
therefore, is looked on as the real
reason for the Judges exit from
the Administration, although the
exchange Of letters between
Judge Hoyt and the President
give the official reason as "a per-
sistent throat condition"
Routine Men Wanted
Officials Of the liquor industry
are inclined to believe that the
successor to Judge Hoyt will have
to be more of a routine man or
regular" politician, if the Ad'
ministration wants a man who
will fit into the Treasury picture.
They regret to see the departure
of Judge Hoyt, who has a Splen'
did background of legal and
social work in New York and who
was the winner of the $3.50
prize in the Hearst Temperance
Contest Of 1929.
Judge Hoyt was the second adj
ministrator for the Administrar
tons liquor policies and the laws
enacted following repeal. The
first administrator was Joseph H.
Choate, jr., prominent New York
lawyer.
In his letter Of resignation to
the President, Judge Hoyt said
that he at first assumed he would
be one Of the board members only
and that he had been reluctant to
/. accept the job of administrator
when "the act as. finally passed
created the administration as q
division Of the Treasury Depart
ment."
Glad to Help Out
However, he continued, cas- it
seemed imperative that the new
division should be organized as
soon as possible to prevent any
further weakening of the Federal
liquor control assured you ]
would be glad to help out in any
way"
Judge Hoyt pointed out that
while his activities have been car
ried out under difficulties, the pre-
liminary work has been done, the
permits issued and general regula'
lions adopted or proposed. He
mentioned, however, much is left
to be done; and declared that his
service "has been a happy one, de-
spite an occasional day Of doubt
and encouragement"
President Roosevelt, in accept
ing the resignation, declared he
could not hold Judge Hoyt against
his will in the light of his health
conditions, and thanked him fol
what had been accomplished in
the FACA under his direction.

The Republican nominee for the
vice presidency. say veteran party

ably on geographical grounds
after the presidential candidate is
named. He may be liberal If the
standard bearer is conservative. or

One party spokesman privately

some trouble in choosing our
presidential nominee, but well
have no trouble at all over
selecting his running-mate. Eve

Landon, of Kansas; Senator
Lester ]. Dickinson, Of Iowa. Col.
Frank Knox, Of Illinois, or SEN
ator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Of
Michigan-the party can come
East or go West for its vice presi,
dental nominee.
In the West, available nomi-
neeS would include Gov. Frank F..
Merriam, of California; Senator
Frederick Steiwer, Of oregon, and
Representative Harry L. Engle-
bright, Of California.
Formidable Array
In the East, a formidable ar
ray of talent would be available.
The list would include Gov.
Harold G. Hoffman. of New Jer-
sey; Senator Warren Barbour, Of
New Jersey; Representative Ham
ilton Fish, jr., Of New York; Gov
Clayton D. Buck, Of Delaware;
Gov. Harry w. Nice, Of Mary

of Massachusetts,; Representative
Robert L. Bacon, of New York:
former Gov. clifford Pinchot, Of
Pennsylvania; RepreS entative
James W. Wadsworth. Of New
York, and Representative Chester

If a Westerner, such as Will
liam E. Borah, of Idaho, were
nominated for first place, all the
Fasteners would be available
along with some potentialities
from the Midwest. In addition
to some of those now mentioned
for the presidency, Representa-
tive Dewey Short of Missouri, and
Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald OF Mich
igsn also would be available.
One Of the best informed Re

 Nurse Kennedy lifted her shoul- ders in an eloquent shrug that said more plainly than words, You see? Now what can you do with Q man like that?"

I've had letters recommending watermelon juice, blackberry root, horestail, sassafras and knotweed. I've had letters pro- testing because we gave them Q few drops of rum in the early days, and letters complaining that we didn't bathe 'em in whisky. I've had let- ters protesting because we give 'em all the fresh air we can, and letters complaining because we didn't move 'em outside in tent in the first place.

 In the midst of all this hubbub six people remained serene and above the turmoil. They were Dr. Luke and the five little girl ba- bies who kicked and gurgled in new cribs at the Wyatt house.

 The two men idly watched a COW grazing among the sparse grass plots between the great rocks that dotted the adjoining field. A dusty car jounced along the road and squeaked to a halt at the Wyatt gate. One of Wyatts neighbors leaned far out from the drivers seat and called to the doctor.
 Say, Doc!" he shouted. q just come from North Bay, and the tele- graph operator told me there's a message for you. Come from the governor-general, he says. Wanted me to tell you to come into town right away and get it!"
 Nurse Kennedy, who had come out on the porch with the other two, exchanged glances with Dr. Paul. an unspoken question in their eyes. But Dr. John remained unperturbed.
