GRAPE JUICE WA STUDIED BY DRYS Volstead Act Amendment May Be Sought to Clarify Latest Development. ‘There were indications in dry politi- {cal circles yesterday that an effort would be made in the next Congress to amend the Volstead act so as to specifically forbid the manufacture and sale of any fruit juice or concentrate susceptible to being converted into an intoxicant. Dr. F. Scott McBride, general super- intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, said yesterday he was not prepared to give an opinion whether the concen- trate product of a California co-oper- ative was “within the law.” The pre- sumption would be, he said, that Fruit Industries, Ltd., of which Mrs. Mabel ‘Walker Willebrandt, the former As- sistant Attorney General, is general counsel, is within the law in marketing & concentrate which becomes wine through fermentation. “If the supporters of prohibition de- eide that the sale of such a concentrate is wrong, or harmful, and that it is being done within the law, then the recourse is to try to change the law and not attack the enforcement ma- chinery,” Dr. McBride said. Wilson's Views Supported. He expressed the opinion further that a great majority of the supporters of prohibition “probably” would be of the opinion that the sale of a concen- trate which becomes wine through fer- mentation or the adding of ingredients is in violation of the intent of the eighteenth amendment. Agreeing in part with the views ex- d Friday by Dr. Clarence True lson, general secretary of the Metho- dist Board of Temperance, Dr. McBride emphasized, as did Wilson, that the temperance forces are not willing to exceed the law in enforcing prohibi- tion. ‘The grape coricentrate plan is being studied by E. B. Dunford, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League, Dr. McBride disclosed, and will be the subject of a brief Dunford will submit to the annual meeting of the organization early next month. “This new development will be taken up then,” McBride said, “and undoubtedly will be discussed by the Conference of Organizations Support- ing the Eighteenth Amendment. which will gati.er delegates from more than 25 temwerance organizations here De- cember 8, 9 and 10. Sees Violation of Intent. 43 is probable that this conference wix g ake some expression with rd to Uie piar, but. such action will r.ot be binding oh any temperance organiza- tion. The procedure will be for each grow: to consider independently any recommendations made by the confer- en-e and decide for itself what its policy will be.” 'The _larger groups, such as the Methodist Board of Temperance, the Anti-Saloon League and the Board of ‘Temperance and Social Welfare of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, maintain_legislative groups in Wash- | ir-q ington. Dr. McBride pointed out that it 15 through these groups that the temperance organizations make _their opinions known, but he emphasized that they do not urge upon Congress any program as coming from them. “If this new develonment is deter- mined harmful and the supporters of prohibition oppose it as something that can be done under the law but in vio- lation of the intent of the law, then our problem is clear,” McBride stated. COTTON TURKEY IS GIFT @Galveston Sends Hoover Thanks- giving Reminder From Dixie. A cotton turkey arrived yesterday at the White House. The likeness, mounted on a cotton ship model, was Galveston’s contribu- tion to the President’s Thanksgiving. ‘The presentation was made by Repre- sentative Briggs. The Texan reminded the President cotton prices had been low in recent months and said he felt the President wished to help restore its production to a prosperity basis. He invited Mr. Hoover to visit Galveston. PRETZEL TRADE GROWS Increase in Shipments for 1929 Over 1925 Is 8,000,000 Pounds. ‘The pretzel has become one of the big boys of the biscuit industry. The increase in pretzel shipments last year over 1925 amounted to more than 8,- 000,000 pounds, census figures show. Last year there were 108 establish- ments engaged primarily in the manu- facture of pretzels. SPECIAL NOTI! T WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEBTS contracted for by any one other than myself. H.

It would furthermore seem to Wash- ington that they are going to have their way and that the interesting question, “When do we eat?” is on the march toward getting thoroughly po- litically eclipsed by the apparently more thrilling question, “When de we drink?” —'‘or not?" ‘The drys are out in the field at the country corners and in the residential suburbs everywhere doing an evange- listic work of a t they have never done before. They hitherto have relied almost wholly on such organizations as the Anti-Saloon League, which springs essentially from conferences of Protest- ant cle en and which represents an ecclesiastical leadership. Now the drys are going beneath this leadership down to the grass roots among the rank and flle voters. Local Work Authorized. The “national conference of organi- zations supporting the eighteenth amendment,” comprising within its fold the Anti-Saloon League and all other prominent and powerful clerical and lay units of the dry forces, has spe- cifically authorized the promotion throughout the country of local com- munity groups which shall consist of “friends of prohibition of voting age” and which shall be dedicated to the full petenticn full enforcement of the l‘h""‘x'fll‘nendment—nnd also e eigh™=hT to the undivided support of eighteenth amendment candidates irrespective of party. ‘This m is getting executed prtnctpll{y 5; the ying Squadron Foundation,” of which the president is Oliver W. Stewart and of which the vice president is Miss Norma C. Brown, | both of whom are highly experienced | and highly proficient veterans of the arts of oratory and of organization. Under their ministrations the local | branches of the new “Society for the ! Support of the Eighteenth Amendment” are rapidly sprouting into existence and will presently get arched overhead into coumty branches and into State branches wholly independent of the churches and wholly representative of straight non-sectarian and non-parti- san voting determination. Dry Leadership Broadens. Thus the prohibition movement is passing out from under the complete dominance of the organized dry clergy- men and is seeking for itself a broader home among, voters of all religious faiths or of b religious faith, who in practice will be trained to be ready in 1932 to do one of two things: One. Vote for their party candidates, ry. Two. Bolt them if not dry. 1 Meanwhile, on the other side of ihe prohibition struggle, the National As- sociation Against the Prohibition Amendment, the Women's Organiza- tion for Prohibition Reform and the Crusaders are by chance or by design developing their most formidable strength in almost precisely those States | which are most doubtful as between | Republican allegiance and Democratic conversion in 1932. The anxiety to discerning dry: saders are young. Most of the pro- hibition leaders are old. The Cru- saders, who have accumulated 4,500 members in the National Capitol itself, are for the most part young men who are far from being particularly awed by preachments from pulpits. Dis- tinguished Republican leaders have flatly attributed some of the Republican congressional reverses in wet districts in the Mlekglflhto the Im&ml:’ young people of sexes from the in- fluence of their churches. Young Voters Big Factor. The decline of church power and persuasiveness in certain denominations is seen as a vital factor in the com- plicated political outcomes of 1932. The.| current losses of youthful church mem- bership in those denominations are held to be producing now great gains in “Crusaders” Campaign. —_—, youthful anti-prohibition sentiment. ‘These among successive fresh crops of new first-time voters are at the heart of the intense worry felt by Republican managers in debatable States such as Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Tlinols. The effects of these developments on the two great national political parties are dissimilar. The Democratic party at the moment seems to grow wetter, while the Republican party in its cen- tral governing elements seems to date to be growing only more puzzled and pained. A local cynical jester at both parties has extremely declared: “The wets are giving the Democrats delirilum tremens and the Republicans paralysis agitans.” The reason for the difference is to be sought in the solidity of the Solid South. Most Democratic leaders think that the Solid South will bolt no Demo- cratic platform and no Democratic candidate in 1932, however wet. They declare that it took religion and tammany as well as wetness to pro- duce a Southern bolt in 1928. Believe Bolt Rebuked. They declare that éven that bolt has now been rebuked by the defeat and political extinction of Senator Simmons of North Carolina and of Senator Heflin of Alabama. They note that even Representative Collins of the fifth congressional district of Mississippi, who is as astute and as popular a poli- tical character as exists in any con- gressional district in the county, was obliged actually to undertake the ex- ertion of strenuously campaigning for renomination because of having been merely suspected of disaffection from the Democratic 1928 Al Smith ticket. They contend that it will be many years before again there will be any “irregularity” in the Southland. ‘They therefore conclude that, with the solid South automatically in the basket, they can safely wade out and fish with a wet fly for amphibian elec- toral votes in the doubtful North. ‘The situation of the Republican party is of Wholly another sort. Dem- ocratic wets and Democratic drys, gen- erally speaking, are segregated into geographical sections. They could unite conceivably on a wet candidate for the Presidency, while simultane- ously they could send dry Senators and dry Representatives to the Congress from the South and wet Senators and wet Representatives to the Congress from the North without any great local dissensions within their ranks. G. O. P. Situation Different. This advantage the Republicans do not share. Wet sentiment divides them nct so much sectionally as precisely and disruptively I In at least 10 Northern States, if go dry they encounter the chance of losing Re: publican bolters to the Democrats, and if they go wet they encounter the chance of losing dry Republican voters to_the independent dry candidate. In these circumstances the Republi- can party remains uncomfortably poised nationally on a swaying tripod of “full enforcement” and “modification” and “repeal” with the advocates of each leg of the iri striving to make it into the party’s sole support for a dig- nified and impressive throne of judg- ment and decision and leadership. Neutral political observers here tend to unite on just ome prospective calcula- on. They hold that the final results of 1932 are yet in the hands of the vast multitudes of voters who are wavering between knowing whether they are wet or dry or meither or both. : They ‘hold that this confusion works for the Demo- crats because voters in discontent and in doubt move normally toward the opposition party. They hold that Presi- dent Hoover’s one great saving opportu- nity is to announce himself definitely for some distinct point of view, what- ever it may be, and to fight for it and ;.o l{y to swing the wavering into line or it. ‘They hold that indecisiveness about the tariff was disastrous in the congres- sional elections of this month and that indecisiveness about prohibition would be equally disastrous in the presidential election of year after next. They know that representations in this sense will be increasingly pressed upon the Presi- dent by Republican party leaders. They expect him soon to decide whether to speak and suffer the consequences or to fail to speak and perhaps suffer worse ones. (Copyright, 1930.) INSURGENTS MAY HELP DEMOCRATS| La Follette Republicans of Wis- oonsin Are Threat to G. 0. P. House Control. Republican control of the House in the new Congress is now threatened from the direction of the La Follette | Republicans in Wisconsin. Representative H. H. Peavey of Wis- consin, one of the insurgent group in the House and a La Follette Repub- lican, has announced that he does not feel bound to assist the Republicans in organizing the House in the next Con- gress. Mr. Peavey is in rebellion against the existing House rules, which are de- scribed as “gag” rules by their oppo- nents. He holds that if the Old Guard leaders desire the support of the in- surgent Republicans, they should, at least, agree to change the House rules so that the individual member will have more voice in determining what legislation shall be considered by the House. . ‘The present division of the new House is 218 Republicans, 216 Demo- crats and one Farmer-Labor member.

With respect to the demand of Mr.| Peavey that the House rules be changed, | there is a possibility that he will have considerable support. A number of the members of the House are dissatisfied with the House rules, which, they con- tend, are as bad the rules of the days of\ “Uncle Joe” Cannon, and throw the power to control procedure on the floor into the hands of a small but powerful ip of leaders, including icholas Longworth, - sentative John Q.

By the Associated Press. WILLIAMSBURG, Va, November 22.—Dr. L. G. Swem, College of Wil- liam and Mary librarian, said tonight that a folio of 140 letters written by Thomas Jefferson, received today by the college, was the most valuable collec- tion of Jefferson’s letters outside the Library of Colleges. The letters were written to William Short_of Surry County, Va. secretary to Jefferson _while the statesman was Minister to France. Only one-third of them have ever been buplished. They were presented to the college by Miss Mary Short of Louisville, Ky. Jefferson and Short were friends while classmates at William and Mary. In one of the letters, written April 7, 1816, Jefferson said: “Trlnquul‘\’ly is the softest pillow for the head of old age, and good will of those around us the sweetest soother of our . repose, In | this state of being, I shall pass willingly to that eternal sleep, which, with or without dreams, awaits us hereafter.” The letters were written in the period from 1785 to 1826. The last was penned just before Jefferson’s death. St An umbrella which may be carried in a bag 10 inches by 8 has appeared in London.

(Continued From First Page.) nomination of & Southerner as an im- possibility. ‘While it requires a two-thirds yote of the Democratic National Convention to nominate for President, it only requires a majority vote in the convention to adopt a platform. The Houston con- vention, meeting two years ago in the State which, through Morris Sheppard. had much to do with giving the coun- try national prohibition, nominated a wet New Yorker for President, Al Smith. At that convention the Democrats adopted a law enforcement plank in their platform which seemed to be sat- isfactory to the s«mflm drys. But the day after he was no ated for Presi- dent, Al Smith wrote his own plank on the liquor question, declaring himself for repeal or modification of national prohibition laws. Smith was defeated, and lost four of the States of the “solid South” into the bargain., But the Southern Democrats admit that it was the religious issue, not the wet and dry, that carried those Southern States against Smith. Smith Return Not Expected. ‘There is one presidential possibility, however, whom the Southern Democrats do not visualize as the party's next standard bearer—Alfred E. Smith. They believe that the nomination of Smith would result in splitting the South again. Conditions have changed greatly in the Democratic party since William Gibbs McAdoo a little more than six years ago swept across the country as the militant dry candidate for the presidential nomination, only to be turned back at Madison Square Garden. The wet group in the party has gained ascendency and appears to be on the increase. The fact of the matter appears to be that when the next Democratic National Convention assembles, the delegates favoring repeal or modification of national prohibition will outnumber the drys who favor the existing law. If the dry organizations are relying on the Southern Democrats to stem the tide in that convention, they may find themselves sadly mistaken. The Demo- cratic organizations in many of the States of the West and Middlewest, as well as those in the States of the North and the East, are frankly op- posed to the existing prohibition laws. The delegations from these States, com- bined against the dclegates of the Southern States, a few of the Western States and some of the “border” States, will outvote them probably in the ratio of 6 to 4, unless there should be s change of sentiment in the party. It does not require a great deal of figur- ing to arrive at such a conclusion. The New England States, with the excep- tion of Maine, perhaps, and New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, , X Montana, Minnesota, Washington and many other Western States will pour their delegations into the convention, all favoring some kind of modification of the dry laws. ‘Wet Fight in G. O. P. Due. Nor is it likely that the drys will get off very y National Convention, stand & much better chance to dominate that body than they do the Demo- cratic Convention. While the Republi- cans received a drubbing in New York after their candidate and their party platform had “gone wet,” it is by no means certain that the drys will re- gain control of the New York or- ganization. The Republican wets in New York are blaming their defeat on hard times more than they are on the drys who deserted the ticket. New Jersey Republicans went over to the gul\tkm of Dwight W. Morrow, who as demanded repeal of the eighteentl amendment. In Illinois the Republi- cans also went a long way toward sup- porting the wet cause, and the referen- dum taken in that State is likely to bolster up their wet leanings. In Penn- sylvania there is a very large and militant group of Republican wets. This is true, too, in Massachusetts where the Republican dry candidates for Senator and Governor were soundly beaten in the recent election. Ohio Re- publicans went all the way over and voted for the wet and Democratic Sena- tor Bulkley in great numbers. With such a record in many of the most populous States of the Union, there seems little doubt that the wets will put up a real fight, though it may be a losing one, in the next Republi- can National Convention. And if the wet Republicans remain in the same temper as they are at present, the general election two years hence will be a difficult hurdle for any Republi- can candidate who stands for the dry cause. While the drys may be able, and probably will be able, to nominate a dry Republican candidate for President, they fail unless they are able to elect him. The victory of a wet Democrat in the next presidential race would | be a real blow to the prohibition cause. Prohibition, however, may be only one of a nu&ber of issues in the next general electfon. arise which will force economic ques- tions to the front so strongly as to make prohibition a secondary matter. e e Suicide because of disappointed love is becoming so frequent in Japan that authorities are issuing propaganda films and posters warning the people not to “die of love.” EDISON and STEWART WARNER RADIO SETS Sold on Easy Terms Your Old Set in Trade There are none Better and Few as Good.

IGRAPE SALES HELD MERELY ECONOMIC California Growers in Dire Need Put Concentrates on Market. Special Dispatch to The Star. SAN FRANCISCO, November 22.— Very soon residents of Chicago will' be able to step up to a drug store soda fountain and buy this much-talked- about California grape juice concen- trate by the glass and without speak- ing easy or furfvely watching the door. Now get in line if you wish, but doh't get excited, for this doesn't mean that the liquor laws are speedily going to musty tombs to join anti-witcheraft and other forgotten statutes. No, the thirsty Chicagoan ordering California grap: juice will get just that—unfer- mented, with less than a suspicion of one-half of one per cent alcohol by either volume or weight. ‘There's nothing for the average citi- 2en, wet or dry, to get excited about in the use of grape juice concentrate as & fountain sirup or flavoring extract, but the introduction of sirup will serve to flluminate the “grape deal” which has caused so much study in Fed-ral Government departments, discussion in the press and, it has been reported, dire threats by gangsters who see an inva- sion of their illicit booze traffic. Growers in Hard Lines. ‘The A B C of the grape deal is this: Annual overproduction has led to star- vation and foreclosure prices for fresh grapes and ‘The grape growers and shippers co-operatives, sponsored and partly financed by the government, this season are taking and annually hereafter will take the estimated sur- | plus out of the raisin and fresh fruit markets to stabilize prices. It is a| waste to l;t,‘thll surplus rot on the | vines, so it Industrics, Inc., was set up to convert the surplus into some | marketable form other than fresh grapes and raisins. It is the business of Fruit Industries to see that this surplus is marketed | among consumers, whether it is ulti- | mately drunk as an alcoholic beverage, taken as a soft drink at soda fountains, spread on buttered bread in the form of jelly or marmalade, or emptied intn radiators as an anti-freeze compound The central idea remains the same: To keep the surplus off the regular grape markets and dispose of it, if possible. to consumers in some form. The only alternative is to let the surplus rot on the vines, as is happening to 100,000 tons or more this year, for co-opera- | tively organized California agriculture | has definitely decided that it will not | hnlrve-t and market any farm product at @« Joss. Now, why a concentrate? Simply to put expressed grape juice into & form that will keep and is convenient to handle, ship and market.

Grape industry executives are probably much more concerned about their own distri- bution and marketing problems, and their relations with the Federal Gov- ernment, than they are over Chicago gangsters, though the picture of Al Capone and his organization hoodlums fighting the Government-supported grape industry for the patronage of some drinkers makes a dramatic story. ‘The real fight betwen the hoodlums and the grape industry will be not a lurid warfare of sawed-off shotguns and smoking revolvers, but a commer- cial encounter such as is going on con- stantly in this business age. The grape industry, hemmed in by and observing the law, can offer the materials in lim- ited quantity for home manufacture of light wine, plus a certain amount of service. The icit booze industry, flouting the law, offer, in quantity and variety desired and for immediate consumption, what purports to be, and what at least resembles, any alcoholic drink ever invented. Who will get the biggest share of the imbiber's dollar? After a trip through the San Joaquin Valley, principal grape-growing region of California, it can be stated senti- ment is optimistic. The opinion seems to be that the grape industry program has turned what would have been a dis- astrous_year into merely another bad year. With an early start next season it is felt that the whole surplus will be marketed at a profit and that fresh grape and raisin prices will be kept up sufficiently to create profits for growers. The grape industry aims to put itself on a prosperity basis after eight years of depression, and incidentally to deal & healthy wallop at the Nation's boot- leggers, by substituting light wines, made in the home for home consump- tion, for stronger beverages. A start has been made this year; next season probably will tell ¢he story of success or failure. (Copyright. 1930.) ———e VALLEY FORGE GETS FLAG VALLEY FORGE, Pa., November 22 (#).—A duplicate of Gen.
