sey challenged the conStitutionality
of the Eighteenth Amendment.
They argued that Federal pro-
hibition could not be enforced in
any State, with or without the
Eighteenth Amendment, unless that
State gave its consent. They were
overruled on this point by the
United States Supreme Court.
The big remaining question was:
must State join Federal agents in
enforcing prohibition?
Several years later the Supreme
Court decided another case, United
States VS.. LAMA, which dealt with
the meaning of concurrent" en-
forcement. While it did not specif-
ically say so, the court intimated
that the Eighteenth Amendment did
not require State to do any en-
forcing itself. There were some
very able men who never accepted
this Interpretation of the LAMA
opinion, among them Senator Will
liam Borah of Idaho. but they were
a minority. Certainly most of the
States banked on it, as evidenced by
subsequent do-nothing policies.
This lack of positive legal respon-
sibility is one of the big differences
between the old State problems of
prohibition and current ones Of
segregation.
There are. of course. other diff
ferences.
For one thing, prohibition was
essentially a fight between urban
"wets" and rural "drys," whereas
segregation is sectional issue.
For another, the enforcement
problems of prohibition were al
most insurmountable, since they
directly involved millions of law
breakers, damned courts, sympa-
thetic juries, etc. While the enforce
ment of indignation could become
extremely difficult, it has the APP
parent advantage of being able to
deal with a relatively few, definable,
officials who are subject to the con-
tempt power.
Further, prohibition dealt pri-
marily with matter of individual
taste or habit, while segregation
involves primarily a matter of in
dividual opportunity.
Each in its own way, however, in
volved very real issues of civil rights.
And those which arose during
prohibition, including unreasonable
search and seizure" and possible
subsection to double jeopardy"
must have seemed at least as grave
as those existing today with regard
to segregation.

Nixon
Democrats Claim

The Presidents statements about
his health make the vice presidency
key part of the campaigns num-
ber-one issue. The voters will ex-
anime the full slate this time.
Democrats assume the Eisenhow-
er running mate will be Richard M.
Nixon. and they ask the public. do
you like him? Do you trust hin,?"
Mr.. Nixon is a divisive force in
American public life. While avoid
ing the word treason" he has de-
liberately implied that the party
representing one-half of the Amer
lean voters is party of treason. He
has tried to drag the Supreme Court
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-18

into politics. His skills are those of
a hatchetman. Democrats say.
The Nixon scowl is the other side
of the coin that bears the Eisen-
hover grin. MI. Nixon divides
where MIR. Eisenhower has unified.
Do the voters want Mr.. Nixon to
be again one heartbeat away from
the presidency, Democrats ask.
Republicans Reply
Certainly the vice presidency will
be an issue. And the G.. o. P. will
be glad to fulfill MIR. Eisenhower
apparent wish that Mr.. Nixon be
his running mate.
The Democrats are wrong II
they think they can make Mr..
Nixon out to be a bogeyman. He
has never lost an election. And
last weeks astonishing write-in
vote for Mr.. Nixon in New Hamp-
shire shows the voters, even with
out his campaigning, are happy to
indorse him.
Mr.. Nixon is good campaigner,
and the Republicans believe the
Democrats dislike him simply be-
cause his shafts are striking home.
The Republicans have a $1,000
reward out for any person who can
prove Mr.. Nixon ever hung a ''trea-
son" tag on the Democratic Party
or any of the Democratic leaders.
The Vice President merely has
pointed out the effects of Demo-
cratic failure to understand the
Communist issue.
Republicans are confident that
the President and his running
mate, rather than being liabilities.
will be able to break the all-time
vote-getting record they chalked
up at Democratic expense in 1852.

VA Loan Requests
Increase in July
By the Associated Press

The Veterans Administration
said today that 45,326 Gil home
loan applications during July set
Ia record for any month this
year. But the rate is still below
last years. :
July was the first 1856 month
in which VA loan applications
topped the lowest monthly total
in 1955-45,514 last December.
A spokesman attributed the
drop-off to a tight money
market.
Another indication of a slow
down in the CT housing program
was a VA report that it received
63.750 appraisal requests during
July. a drop of 81, 589 below July
1855, and down 2 per cent from
the June 1856 total of 65,l4l.
