. 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.

Typical of speakeasies of the roaring lwontics is this cellar set-up
in New York. Bottlcggers today would find it hard to duplicate.

Letters to the Editor
ditor Observer
far Sir:
So tr. 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? -
