LEAGUE REFUSES
1900 AT DINNER
All Available Tickets Sold
for January rs Event
Here.
By tbs Associated Press.


With the s50-a-plate Jackson day
dinner of the Democrats still a VIVID
memory the American Liberty League
announced today it has turned away
1000 persons who want to attend its
feast here January Is.
The leagues publicity department
reported that the 1000 available seats
were taken weeks ago, but that appli-
cations continue at the rate of TOO
day.
BY coincidence, the Liberty Leaguers
will hold their dinner in the same
hotel ball room where more than
1000 New Dealers gathered recently
to eat and hear President Roosevelt.
Three Will Speak.
Whereas the Jackson day diners
heard but one speaker-President
Roosevelt-the Liberty League will
hear three, Alfred E. Smith, former
Federal Judge Charles I. Dawson of
Kentucky and DR.. Neil Carothers Of
Lehigh University.
There is considerable difference in
the menus, too, particularly in the
drinks. The $50 dinner included no
drinks, but the league will begin the
occasion with martini cocktails and
eerve white wine with one of the
courses.
Smith Gets Hour.
Former Gov. Smith is going to
have a full hour in which to broad
cast his address. Originally, the
speech, expected to contain sharp
barbs aimed at the New Deal, was
set down for As minutes of radio time.
Before Smith starts speaking at 10
pm. over the Columbia Broadcasting
System, an address by former Judge
Dawson will be broadcast by the
American BroadcaSting Co. Dawson,
chairman of the leagues Kentucky
division, ruled the N. R. A. unconsti-
tutiona. while on the bench.
