WASHINGTON The dire prediction Uiut. we'll have a re birth of tht'old rootin' shoolin' gptakcasy days as a result of jimmy Byrnes' ban on whoopee ftor midnight., is just wishful thinking, according to a conccn lus of official Washington. Times just ain't the same, offi cials point out,!' It takes space, liquor and manpower for a speak tay and none .of these all-impor-Unt ingredients is available, they ay. BesidM,, there's too much red tape involved in setting up rvtn an illegal business these dais. . jn the roaring twenties it was relatively simple for a bootl -ggcr to peddle his. bathtub hooch in a private den ht -iniquity. All he had to do was find himself a llljhtly out-o-thc-way place, put a grilled aperture in the door, get a .pug-ugly to open it, pass out cards and th;n wait for the crowd. 7 Fire Water Scarce Let's start with OPA's reasons why there won't be speakeasies. Well, first, you've pot to have fire water to servo the customers. flier's not enough to keep the retail dealers satisfied and the Itstillers don't' have enough to keep the wholesalers happy. Of Burse, there are ways around his, but the legitimate liquor trade is sogood it's doubtful dealers would endanger their jusiness by getting mixod up with the crooks. . At least that's OPA's line of thought. How about boot leg booze? .You can't get sugar tor it and WPB says you can t get equipment to make it or contain sjr. it you opuld make it. SSkip that hurdle and let's try to find a place to, put our sp?ak sasy. What- sites were used dur ,ng prohibition? A p a r t m e n ts. itoies, basements and private ionics.' If VBu let more than two jcople in anapartir.;nt in Wash ington lhey"vouid claim squal ors rights and no customer would Ver leave. OPA reports the same lituation in .practically every Aher town.,, The same gees for Sore space, and basements. iThen, of course, there's the 1 it ue matter of ceiling prices which lould be violated probably as h y had never been violated be- ore. OPA says it would get aw 61 mad at this and help war iianpowcr commission crack lown. , . No matter how earthy a peuk" might be there is still pme basic equipment needed, bch as ice boxes, glasses, furni Urc and other things. That prob fin just about answois itself irithout WPB's pointing it out. flierc would you get it? ; Even the . trills aren't oblain blc. Take ,sawed-off shotguns, 'oe can't get shells. Even if pu could you couldn't gel a hack iw to cut the barrel off short. Liquor, No Furniture No Soap! Its T i V i 'I tin tl Pi ?!?. Typical of speakeasies of the roaring lwontics is this cellar set-up in New York. Bottlcggers today would find it hard to duplicate.

April 4lh edition of The iacon, the interesting and well litcd official newspaper of East n Oregon college, there is a fry interesting article about the liing enrollment. This article ales that the spring enrollment I the college now amounts to a ital of 231 students, and that lis is an increase of some 45 r cent or more over that of :e 1044 spring term. We are all very proud of the iltndid growth of this very fine stitution of eastern Oregon and the healthy increase which has lai actcrized it even during these ar times. Riccntly Dr. Roben Maaske ade a statement to the effect at in the last year prior to the ar the college had an' criroll ml of 18? 'men, and a still lar r enrollment of women. How el, it is a recognized fact that ce the war is over the number men in lite institution is bound ! substantially increase. I am writing, to call attention the publit'.to thc fact that East n Oregon-college is greatly in id of a inch's dormitory. With C heaithy growth uf the col ic it is almost a certainty that !er the war the enrollment of n. will exceed 1ST. The college ' should have a' n's dujniilory right now, bul neeessHy for the dormitory t-f the air will amount to d areas in Europe and includes wearing apparel, bedding, and shoes. Tin' goal set f:ir each per son is five pounds of clothing. W'ce't you cooperate with the rur;.t clothing campaign contest ia your community and be sure that vonr five pounds or more of clothing is turned in this nupith? - Dulles Will Sit In Seen rili Farley WASHINGTON.
