S S ——————— e Y “Of what?” continued. Raskob said of the DuPont com- pany. Saraway asked his relation to the Association Against Prohibition. “I don't know the full name of it,” the Arkansas senator added. Raskob said he was a director of the association and had been for five years. “Its purpose is to attempt by edu- cation to convince the people of the United States that the 18th amend- ment ought to be repealed,” Raskob asserted. “Have you much hope?” asked Caraway. Believes Progress Made Raskob laughed before he swered. “Yes, I think I have great deal of hope that we arc malk ing progress “toward modification.” an- a contributed $12,500 in 1928, $30,000 in 1929 and had pledged $30,000 for 1930. Part of th year's amount already has been paid, he added. Other contributions, he said, werc made before 192§. Raskob read a list of the names of men comprising the board of the association. “I note some Irish names on and I judge it is bi-partisan,” marked Chairman Caraway “Yes, I think there arc more re- publicans than democrats on it,” added Raskob, with a laugh. “There usually are on clection day, anyway,” put in Caraway. Wadsworth on List Included in the list of directors was the name of James W. Wads- worth, former republican scnator from New York. Caraway asked Raskob if he had seen members of congress in regard to their views on prohibition since he hecame a director. “No,” said the witness. Senator Walsh asked the of other contributors to the associ- tion, but Raskob said he did not known them, aside from Dicrre S. DuPont, of Delaware, Senator Walsh asked the extent of Raskob’s participation in the as- | tociation, “I am not active,” it, re- names Raskob ex- “I am largely in the posi- tion of a contributor. As a director I attend some meetings to hear re- ports.’ Replying to Walsh, the witness sald the association was interested n the clection of wet members to congress, but that he had not taken part in such a campaign. Senator Walsh asked about the charts giving statistics on liquor conditions hung on the senate walls recently by Senator Tydings, demo- crat, Maryland. Tydings is a wet. Honest Effort Made Raskob said he didn't know where the charts came from, but he said Chairman Caraway The democratic chairman said he | the association *'is making an honest effort to ascertain the facts and is reducing these facts to charts.” Under persistent inquiry by Walsh Mr. Raskob said he had never been interested in the manufacture of li- | quor, and so far as he knew, none of those connected with the associa- tion, were interested, now or in the past, in the manufacture of liquor. Replying again to Walsh, the wit- ness said that the interest of the as- sociation was in the election of wets to congress, “rather than the per- suasion of those in congress.” “Raskob identified W. W. Atter- bury, republican national committec- man for Pennsylvania, and Charles W. Sabin, the husband of the former republican national committee wom- an from New York, as directors of the association against prohibition. Did Not Mix Belicfs Raslob said he was careful not to | mix his personal beliefs on prohibi- | | tion in the affairs of the democratic | national committee. “I have no right to commit the democrati | the prohibition question,” he assert- cd. adding: s “My | commit the democratic party on this question except the national conven- | tion. I shall not try to influence any | democratic member on this ques- tion.” Senator Robinson, republican, Tn- a, then took up the questioning. When was the association organ- ized?” “I don’t know.” “You were a | don’t you know “Well, I don't.” Favors Repeal “Do you favor repeal or modifica- tion of prohibition?” “I do. or at least modification.” The Indiana senator then clashed with Raskob over the location of the headquarters of the association. Raskob insisted the main offices were in New York and Robinson contended that literature of the as- sociation named Washington ~as headquarters. The subject was dropped after Raskob said he met as a dircctor with other directors of the associa- tion In New York. Chairman Caraway and Scnato: Robinson cngaged in a brief tilt aft- er Robinson questioned Raskob about a recent statement attributed to Senator Harrison, that Raskob was no longer an officer of the E. I. DuPont De Nemours & Company. Raskob explained he was a vice president of the company, but said the position was largely honorary.

By throwing the publicity spot: light upon a plcture of Raskob giv |ing money with one hand to the wet organization and with the other to the democratic party, the repuu- licans were hopeful of alienatiny dry democrats and of intensifying the demand of some irreconciliable drys in the south that Rasboi vithdraw from the party chairman- ship.
