Ras kob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, as considering the Byrd plan better than his own proposal for a "home rule" amend ment. Six States Want Vote The Democratic committee of New York state, by adopting a resolution for repeal of the eighteenth amend ment, brought to six the list of state organizations in the party which so far recorded themselves for repeal or repuhmlciiibn in their preparations for the Democratic convention. The New York action, said Governor Roosevelt, who is now the lendinr; presidential candidate, wrs in keep ing with his Idpos. A prediction that the Republican nat'ionr;l convention would go on rec ord for repeal war. mode' 111 Chlrngo m an' Interview g'lvoii by Nicholas MnVniy BUt-lf-r. who snIU he would force a roll cull on a resolution Lb that effect rind that llferc would be no pussyfooting:" In liishop Cannon's approval, or the' Byrd plan were a number of highly important iiiiullfloiitions. He opposed vigorously nir:Iimion In. either party platform a plunk rccommentl JUK It. He objected to singling out the eighteenth amendment for Its application, and favored making the direct vote by the people in each state -take- the place of the present provision for constitutional conven tions as aii iilt-ern'ttive to ratifica tion by ilie !eislat''e&. Byid's proposal was for submitting an iimondmcnt to . the legislatures, which, upon ratification, would pro vide that future changes to the con stitution be submitted direct , to the people by congress for a vote at a date when no other elections would be held, the vote to be counted by stats. ni:d ratification being (as at present) by three-fourths of the states. Up to Hoover Bishop Cannon at the same time said responsibility will rest oh Presi dent Hoover lot whatever prohibition action is taken by the Republican contention. He expounded these views in an ofdreas before the state Anti-Saloon League convention, and expanded them to discuss the pos sibility of both p&fties adopt planks for resubmission or repeal. He hinted at a third party move meht In that' event. The declaration of the Wyoming senators was brief: "We are for resubmission of the prc-hfbltlbn question to the people of the several states. Wo are un alterably opposed to a return to the saloon with Its attendant evils. We would consider fflvcrnbly a plan of federal control and repulatlon of the liquor traffic undtfr which the rights of the dry states would be fully pro tected." Kendrlck has vote? for every pro hibition measure including the eight eenth amendment. Carey, elected governor in 1918 on a dry platform, favored a referendum in 1930 when running for the senate. Democratic state conventions of committees which have expressed themselves for a change cr a new vo'o on prohibition include New York. Iowa. Maine. Michigan. Minne sota, and Washington. Of the other states holding such meetings, Ar kansas, .Louisiana, Kentucky - and Oklahoma ignored the question; Mis souri defected an ariti-prohibltion resolution and Georgia declared flat MARRIAGE?

NEW YORK (P) Rerl will have no part 6f matrimony, and she says so emphatically in a jumble of mixed French and Tahitlnn words. When this exotic movie actress and dancer come here from her native islands in the South Seas a year ago she thought American men "of charming excellence" and thought it possible she might choose one as a mate. But that was a year ago when Rerl, then the star of the picture "Tabu," still was imbued with the romance of the South Seas. Now she has be come Americanized to the extent that her career comes first. . "I want to be a star in the theatre for many - years," she said, as she began a nation-wide stnge tour, ly for enforcement of all laws, j For the Republicans only Missouri acted for a change, calling upon ! congress to obtain a national con j ventlon to deal with prohibition and nothing else. The Connecticut dele gation was Wet but no platform instructions were - given. - Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, - Louisiana. New York, Virginia, and New Mexico, inored the question; Maine registered opposition to repeal and North Caro lina went on record for retention of prohibition. Text of Byrd's Proposal The text of Governor Byrd's pro hibition proposal at the Jefferson Day dinner follows: "The Democratic platform should declare for the enforcement of all laws, but an Immediate task of the Democratic party is to work out the most fair and feasible method to carry the prohibition question to the people. "If the 18th amendment, or a modi fication, is sustained by such refer endum, a clear mandate will result to enforce the prohibition laws.

I do not favor any plan that will permit the people of a par ticular state to vote that state out of the control of the constitution of the United States while other states remain under the constitution. I stand, therefore, upon these beliefs: (A) "That prohibition is the law and should not be nullified by de liberate failure to observe it, but (B) "That It is still a human law that may be amended or changed, and (C) "That as a question affecting tho lives and habits of the people it should be decided by a popular vote by the people themselves.
