Amendment Soon Comes Forward With the Strongest Wet Platform Yet Offe:ed by Possible Democratic Presidential Nominee. ‘Washington, Sept. 25 (UP)—For- mer Senator James A. Reed of Mis- souri stood sponsor today for one of the strongest anti-prohibition platforms thus far proposed. His program ‘calls for: Immaediate repeal of the \'olf(r'uJ‘ act. . Repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment_as soon as possible. . State control of liquor without federal assistance but with eada state having authority to seize liquor imported for distribution within its boundaries in interstate commerce. Ths declaration by Reed places him ahead of other possible demo- ““cratic presidential nominees on the prohibition repeal program. Governor Franklin D. of New York has declared for re- peal of the eightcenth amendmens, tut for substitution of an amend- ment to protect state enforcement of prohibition. inson of Arkansas, vice presidential nominee in 1928, is a prohibition supporter. Asks Immegdiate Repeal “The Volstead act should be re- o pealed immediately,” Reed declared in announcing Ns - program. “It should have been written in blood by Draco and not by a modern leg- ? islature. It was drawn by fanatics who crowded into it all of the atro- cities from all of the state laws.” Reed said he expected action come from President HOO\"r's law enforcement commission “Noble' Expériment” Failure “It is obvious now that the peo- pl€ of the United States have given this- ‘noble experiment’ a thorough trial ‘and that it has been the most ghastly failure of the century,” he said. ”It has created more crime thah anyeother law in the last 100 years. “I unhesitatingly say. the,time has come when prohibition is bound to be the issue and every person run- ning for office should state his views. “The present director tion has certified to. the failure of prohibition by ng cannot be enforced without the ac- tive cooperation of state constabu- larfes. - ““That means it cannot be forced unless the people of a state want it enforced and that we will have prohibition limited to certain districts.” HOST OF CANDLES THRHL CATHBLIS Impressive Scene at Omaha Con- | gress as 40,000 Are Lighteg Omaha, Neb, Sept. 25 (P—The memory of myriad flames from thou- sands of candles held aloft in the darkness of Creighton university stadium today glowed for the pil- | grims of the sixth national Eucha tic congress. The tapers t night dur- recital of the Holy Name pledge by an audience of 40,000 at%the charistic m. meeting symbolized the climax of the colorful religtous ceremony which brought addresses from George Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago and Judge Martin A. Man- ton of New York. Thousands more of Catholic faith over the country parficipated in the devotionals , through a broadcast of the cere- monies. E, The example of ‘“our_ Catholic | men in frequent attendance at com- munion” was praised by Cardinal Mundelein ‘as a_“powerful influenci for good on those about them.” The two greit commands of Pope Rius X ~—early communion for little children and frequent communion for. older Christians—were recalled by American prince of the church. His Eminencé also read a message of greeting to the congress from Presi- dent Hoover. Judge Manton said that every day “life brings us into contact with na- ture's incomprehensibles” and said that the mysteries of the Eucharist could not be expected to be any less difficult of penetration. Attacks Modern Dress Even ‘“ordinarily good Catholic women and young ladies” have been rendered unconscious of the cency of modern dress” with “life in an overwhelmingly neo- pagan population,” the Rev. Athu- anasius Steck of Humphrey, Neb., said in a discussion of modesty in dress by the clery ingthe afternoon business session. = The congress was to commde this afternoon' with the solemn proces- sion of the most blessed sacranfent. R e in BUSIN. SITUATION BETTER Washington, Sept. 25 (UP)—Im- provement in the business situation was indicated today by unemplo ment figures compiled by the Ame ican Federation of Labor. Reports from trade unions in 24 cities showed unemployment to have dropped from 22 per - cent during July and August to 21 per cent, dur- ing the early weeks of September, Président Willlam Green announced. He added, however, that the upturn has been slight in comparison to the large numbers still in need of jobs.

STUDENT EXPLAINS by the ATTAGH N PRINCE Hatred of Fascism Caused Him to Try Assassination” Brussi Sept. 25 (A —Fernando |De Rose, young Italian student, to- |day said that hatred of fascism and 1l that it implies led him to at-| tempt the a ation of Crown Prince Humbert of Italy last Octo- ber in B The young Italian went on trial today for this offense After the sclection of a jury, Rosa was asked to explain why he had attempted to kill the crown prince. He launched into an impas- sioned discourse in fluent French, starting with an account of his en- listment as a young boy under the fascist banner and describing -how he finally became convinced that fascism meant disregard of fhe pub- lic liberties. This, he said, resulted in his becoming anti-fascist. Says He Is Patriot “I am a patriot resolved to defend my country's libert he said, and 1 became anti-fascist za‘er I had witnessed crime committed by the~ fascists against their enemies without discrimination whether they were conservatives, so- cialists, \liberals, communists or Freemasohs. Why did I want to kill the prince? Well, pecause he iden- tifies himself with the eneimes of the Italian peopld's liperty and is prepared to govern Italy under fas- cist rule. “You wonder why T did not choose Ttaly to commit my deed. An at- tempt to kill the prifee at Turin would have meant exposing all my friends and relatives to the peril of being held responsible for my crime. this being the usual way for fascis to operate. I did not want to Kill for the pleasure of kiling but be- cause I am_convinced it is necem sary to show the world that Italians are not satisfiel with the fascist policy and that Italy lost all the liberties it enjoyed previous to fas- cism, - S5 sels, *FLING OF CHARGES Senator Joseph T.
