REPEAL IS FAVORED BY ARIZONA, 3101 State Named for Aridity Brings Total Against Pro- hibition to 21. By the Associated Press. Arizona has blasted another stone | from the constitutional dam that holds back the flow of legal liquor in the ! United States. The citizens of that State voted three | to one yesterday in favor of repeal of | the eighteenth amendment. Arizona, christened in honor of its aridity, thus followed the course of 20 other States, which, led by Michigan | April 3, have decided against prohibi- tion. Repeal votes by 15 more States would add a twenty-first amendment to the Constitution, nullifying the eighteenth. ‘Three more will vote this month: Mi souri, August 19: Texas, August 26; Washington, August 29. Those which preceded Arizona are: %lchlgan‘ Wisconsin, Rhode 1Island, yyoming. New Jersey, New York, Dela- ware, Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Massa- chusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Jowa, California. West Virginia, Arkan- sas, Alabama, Tennessee, and Oregon. No State has yet voted to retain pro- hibition. Y FAVORED. PHOENIX, Ariz, August 9 (#)—The youngest State in the Union-is the twenty-first to vote for prohibition re- peal. Bach of the 14 counties indorsed adoption of the repeal amendment to the Federal Constitution by an even more preponderant count of ballots than they did in repealing all of Ari- zona's dry laws last November. The State had been listed as a prohibition stronghold almost since attainment of statehood in 1912. An unofficial canvass of the vote in Tuesday's special election showed the ‘wet ballots leading the drys by more than three to one. Out of a fotal of 444 precincts in the State, returns from 823 gave: For repeal, 34,389, Against repeal. 10,147. ‘The missing precincts contain few Yotes. Drys had conceded defeat before the balloting started. They had failed to obtain enough signatures to initiative petitions to place on the ballot candi- dates for delegates to a State conven- * tion which will pass on the repeal ques- tion. The negative vote was written in. Drys have appealed to the State Su- reme Court to rule the election null ind void on the ground that the system used in passing on a proposed amend- ment was unconstitutional. It was estimated less than 40 per cent ©of the registered electorate expressed its preference. Arizona also tendered the Democratic congressional nomination to a close driend of the Franklin D. Roosevelts— Mrs. Isabella Greenway of Tucsen, the party’s national eommitteewoman for this State. The nomination is con- sidered tantamount to election. She defeated two man apponents, Mrs. Greenway would take the seat #n Congress of Lewis W. Douglas, the Yone Representative from this State, who resigned to become the Pudget di- Tector.

That is why the financial insiders have been running around in | circles since the news canie out that he was on his way to New York. Linked with his trip is the fact that George Harrison, head of the Federal Reserve Bank (New York), was snooping secretly around Wash- ington the last week end. Also the additional fact that J.* P. Morgan recently held a series of conferences with Norman in England. Wise men near the top in Wall Street have been tipped that a purely bank ing deal on international exchange is in the making. Private Banking Deal. They believe that Morgan and the New York Federal Reserve outfit are interested in making a private ar- rangement with the Bank of England to facilitate dollar transactions abroad. Violent fluctuations are apparently being terraced so that the dollar and pound may do less soaring and diving. At the root of the problem is the prospect that the dollar may shortly return from its flight abroad. understanding must be reached so the return flight will not start the foreign exchange roller coaster again. ‘The only point of general impor- tance is the prospect that this dealing may force President Roosevelt to dis- close his dollar hand. The Federal Reserve will not carry greenbacks around for him unless he lets them know how much greenbacks are going to be worth a few months hence. In other words, the fire is being Uit under him to smoke him out as to when and how much dollar de- wvalaution there is going to be. That is a fire worthy of the attendance of the man who carries the Bank of England around. in his hat - A significant simultaneous develop- ment is the fact that Mr. Roosevelt's associates here now are moaning and groaning under their breaths about the international aspects of dollar devalua- tion. Problem Not So Simple. There are strong iuner indications that Mr. Roosevelt has found it is not such a simple thing as he hoped it would be. First, there is the current question of war debts. Are we going to de- value and let the debtors pay off in depreciated currency? Also the prob- lem of large American investments abroad. Are we going to depreciate those? Likewise the sad realization that our depreclated dollar has not stimulated foreign trade as expected. On top of these private agonies is the realization that our domestic debt situation is slowly taking care of itself. The main idea in devalu- ation was to help those who con= tracted debts under a 1929 dollar. These worries probably will be dis-| carded by Mr. Roosevelt in the end The domestic situation has been the dominant factor in his mind from the beginning. Odds Favor Devaluation. ‘Those who know him best believe he ! will tass the international considerations out of the window and determine his policy purely cn the results shown by | the N. R. A, That means the odds still favor de- valuation. The truth about the strong tactics; Gen. Johnson used in the coal strike will be told only when he writes his memoirs. Even tHen he may not dare to print what he told cne of the company offi- At least the expletives will have to de deleted. Private information in the N. R. A indicates both sides were somewhat to blame. Certain officials apparently were preparing for the code by weeding out employes suspected of having labor union tendencies. The labor leaders interpreted the presidential program as meaning that every worker has to join a union. Both factions got slightly ahead of themselves, in the cpinion of the Government's observers: Gen. Johnson's close friends became worried about his health a few days back. They urged him to go home at midnight one night when his knees got wobbly from continuous work. - Two hours later they found him at a code hearing raising Cain. No other Gov- ernment official could stand such pun- ishment. The Chicago Board of Trade has been feeling out the N. R. A. for some days past on the pessibility of a code. The idea is to unload responsibility on the Government because the minimum price and fluctuation restrictions make the board’s game a penny ante affair. (Copyright, 1933.) - COTTON-TEXTILE BOARD .

The steel code proposed the company union of worker representation as ful- filling the intent of the act, but this was stricken out. Reading of the “open shop” clause in the non-union coal code passed with- out a stir at the hearing. O'Neill read it with the following conunent: “This paragraph reflects our under- standing of what section 7 (the collec- tive bargaining provision) of the in- dustrial recovery act means.” Open Shop Clause. The open shcp clause sald “no em- ployer shall be required to deal jointly with other employers, or with repre- sentatives of any employes other than his_own."

Others Reach Lisbon. By the Associated Press. HORTA, Azores, August 9.—One Italian aviator died and three others were hurt today when their plane over- turned during the take-off of Gen. Italo Balbo's seaplane squadron for Lisbon, Portugal. @ Lieut. Squaglia died as a result of congestion of the lungs. Three others, Capt. Ranieri, the pilot in command; Sergt. Cremaschi, mechanlc, and Sergt. , radio operator, were taken to hospital, where it was said their in- Juries were not serious. Motor trouble caused the giant ma- chine to turn over as it was leaving from Ponta Delgada, Azores, with 14 others for Portugal and home, after flying thousands of miles from Italy to Chicago and back. In an accident at Amsterdam on the outward journey, one flyer was killed. The ill-fated ship was called the I-Rani. It was the twenty-first of the fleet of 24. Otherwise the departure of nine machines under Gen. Pellegrini from Horta and the remaining ships from Ponta Delgada, under ‘Gen. Balbo, was without incident. They arrived from Shoal Harbor, Newfoundland, yes- terday. The Quayside and Breakwater were thronged with eager crowds as the aviators departed. The ill-fated plane was reported not seriously damaged, although an exam- ination was difficult because its engines | were submerged, with the floats upper- most. ARMADA IN PORT! LISBON, Portugal, August 9 (#).— Gen. Italo Balbo's air armada, minus one ship which overturned at the take- oft, killing one man and injuring three others, completed another leg of the journey home to Italy today by flying from the Azores to Lisbon. The seaplanes arrived here in three groups. The last, & formation of three which remained behind to care for the three men injured in the accident in the Azores, flew over Black Horse Square just as Gen.

Employes to Be Retained. An important reorganization move that is to be efected now, but with pro- viso that the employes are to be retained until September 30, is that establishing the Office of National Parks, Building: and Reservations, which is to assume functions of administration of public buildings, reservations, national parks national monuments and national ceme- teries. One of the functions going into the new set-up will be the Office of Public Build- ings and Public Parks of the Nationa: Capital, which is abolished, with some 2800 employes. What percentage of these may eventually lose out is uncer- tain, but seven weeks' leeway will give officials a chance to know their necds and be governed accordingly. The same is_true of the persons involved in the other units to be merged, including the National Park Service, with about 400 employes. Arno B. Cammerer, who is succeeding Horace M. Albright as director of 1t park service, is due 1o head the ne grouping. Mr. Albright is entering private business. In addition to Public Buildings and Public Parks, other groups to be abol- ished as thefr dutics are taken over by the new set-up are Arlington Memori National Memotial Commission, Rock Creck and Potomac Parkway Commission. The Pubiic Buildings Commission also was slated for abolition, but attention of President Roosevelt was called to the fact thai this is a legislative ageney made up of members of Congress, which may not be abolished legally, and Senator Con- nally, Democrat of Texas, the chairman. who tock up this matter with the Exec- utive said he received assurance that the plan would notgo through.

Y, August 9.— President Roosevelt gave personal at- tention today to the war on crime in conferences with Attorney General Cummings -and Raymond Moley, spe- cial investigator of kidnaping and racketeering. The Attorney General motored here from his home in Greenwich, Conn. Mr. Moiey came up from Washington. Mr. Roosevelt wanted a general re- port and there was no indication of any immediate new action by the ad- ministration. Again Studying Currency. Meanwhile, the President resumed his studies of managed currency, con- sulting with Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale. Tonight he confers with his Secretary of the Treasury, William H. Woodin. Looking over a roll of charts in his study today, Mr. Roosevelt in- dicated satisfaction with the recent upward trend of employment and commodity prices. It was made plain that the objective is a controlled upward movement—a leveling off of the peaks and valleys. The call of Secretary Woodin and Prof. Fisher followed a conference yes- terday by the President with a special staff of monetary experts. There was no indication of any af- firmative action by the administration on the currency situation. One of His Busiest Days. Indulging in one of his busiest days at the Summer White House, the Presi- dent also kept a close watch on troubled Cuba. He eagerly awaited latest re- ports from the island and there was & hint that something very definite was expected. It was stated that Ambassador Welles was in charge of efforts to bring about order on the island, but that there was no intention of interference by the ad- ministration in the internal affairs there. Quite obviously, Mr. Roost ing thoroughly into the monetary tion and plans for a managed currency. The charts of the experts, which do not altogether agree on all points, do show that the commodity price average has gone gradually upward and is at about the 1910-1914 level. What pleases the President those commodities which wer farthest have gained the most and those which went down the least have come up the least. Pleased Over Living Costs.

Mr. Roosevelt has a warning in store for him, however, and that is to take very good care of his health. Another caller on_today’s Summer White House list was George McAnreny, commissioner of sanitation for New York City. Awaits Word From Cuba. The President awaited further word from his Ambassador. Sumner Welles, before determining what move may be made in the Cuban situation. The Presid<nt has made it clear he is most anxious that peace be restored in Cuba quickly. His advisers regard this stand as meaning that if the Machado administraticn is not able to maintain peace another should take over the task. The President is watching with interest the progress of the recovery campaign in the United States. 5 REMOVAL OF DR.
