PAGE SEVEN LOGALELECTIONS .Politicians Realize Senators and Congressmen Must Run Gauntlet President Will Have Small Say Bj Byron Price, i (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington.) 1 . Rom from th Chicago conven-! i Hion. and thinking It over, the poll-' tlclani art beginning to realise that the prohibition shoe is likely to pinch i hardest, not in the presidential race I at all, but in the local elections of senators and congressmen. Under the constitution, whoever la i President after March 4, next, can do j very little about the dry laws. Both t Mr. H cover and Mr. Roosevelt can 3 and probably will subordinate this' lssua to the grave questions of eco- nomlo recovery. ( But congress can do a great deal i about prohibition. It, not the Pre- ldent, Is empowered to propose J changes In the constitution. It alone ' can modify the Volstead act. Tho I wet and dry leaders in public life. ; have been quick to see that, and to 3 apply the pressure where It means I something. ! It will be vastly more difficult this J year than ever before for any can- dldate for senate or house, anywhere, f to dodge and straddle. Up to Congrei. j Tht constitution provides Just two .; lmethods of originating amendments, i 5ne la by the action of two-thirds of both houses of congress. The other ; Is by a national convention, assem : bled for that special purpose on the (' petition of the legislatures of two ' thirds of the states. In actual practice, the second ; me.vd never has been tried, and :j one expects It to be tried in this Instance. If the dry amendment Is to be amended or repealed, it will be up to congress to take the first step. ' Already the organised pressure from ;, both aides la focusing on congres $ atonal candidates. The effort to put j every candidate on record was reflect- d In Senator Bingham's demand for an Immediate vote on his beer bill. ; and by the clamor of the wet bloc In the house for a similar showdown. This la only the beginning. Be : fore It Is over, the friends and foes of national prohibition may be ; counted on to ask the congressional candidates over and over: "Do you favor repeal? Do you favor beer and wine? Spotlight May Shift. Incidentally, this offers a field of i activity for those who, for one rea son or another, do not feel Impelled I to spend their energies and their In- Hue rice on behalf of either Hoover : or Roosevelt, Many of the friends of Senator . Borah believe he will take the stump :': for various senatorial nominees fav ' orlng prohibition, and say little mean- time about the national ticket. Doubtless such repeal advocates as Alfred E. Smith and Nicholas Murray ! Butler will be urged to adopt a slm- liar course on the other aide of the ; question. It la conceivable that, for the first ) time in American history, the con- : gresslonal campaigns which always . coincide with presidents! campaigns ; but regularly are overshadowed, may ; In 1333 present the real drama of a ;! presidential year. Nominees Must Tnke Note. Of course, as the respective leaders ; or their parties, the presidential nam- lnees will be compelled to take some t notice. But the very fact of the varying a predicaments of the local congres T s tonal nominees such as the em barrassments of Republican repeal lsts and Democratic dry Is aura to ; soften somewhat the utterances at . . the top of the tickets, and center the ; real Issue further down. 4 OPENS LAW COURTS ADDIS ARAB A.

Before the young monarch ascend ed the throne there were no regular courts.

Quick reinforcements were rushed into the area and the brick throw ing veterans soon subsided so far as actual violence was concerned, but continued yelling and booing and shouting, "Let's run them out.' Meanwhile, police reserves from every precinct in the District of Co lumbia arrived on the scene. Veterans were moving on the Penn sylvania avenue area from all direc tions and gathering bricks and stones en route. The lot on which the veterans have been living was covered with bricks and debris from du ridings which have been demolished. Pistols Not Used. Policemen sought quick refuge from the brick barrage when It started and a fow officers drew their pistols. None fired, however. Olassford was less than a half block awav when the trouble began, and promptly went to the scene. He moved among the veterans, urging them to desist from violence and pay attention to their leaders. Officials of the treasury present said the entire area probably would be evacuated at once, regardless of consequences. Plunging Into the center of the fight, Olassford succeeded in stop ping the rush at police ropes. Sev eral police and a number of veterans were Injured and Glassford had bis badge torn off. . Men Incited to Riot. He stopped the men and asked to confer with company leaders. One small veteran, apparently the leader of the attack, attempted to urgt the men on again. He had been struck with a brick and the right side of his face was covered with blood. Police seized him and put him In a patrol wagon. Walter W. Waters, commander of the bonus expeditionary force, was present but at first refused to take any part In the discussion. Later he talked with Olassford. Police reinforcements poured In constantly, motor sirens screaming and officers were ready for action with their clubs.

In his statement, Attorney-General Mitchell declared "There is no longer any excuse or Justification for the assemblage In Washington of these men.'

"Many of them are violating the laws of the district by holding un lawful assembles In the street, ob structing traffic, dioorderly conduct, betrfrina and other acts.

WASHINGTON. (jF) "Cactus Jack" Garner already has Indicated that If he la elected vice-president of the United States some drastic changes in the dlharge of the duties of that office may be expected. One of the first things he did wss to make sure that there would be no ceremony and folderol about nls notification. Notification ceremonies even for a vice -presidential candidate In the past have been colorful. When Cur tis, for cxomple, was Informed by Senator Fess back In 1928 that the Republican party had selected him as Mr. Hoover's running mate, his home town of Topeka, Kans., made It a memorable affair. With wsi"v:hoerw, the Indlva brav-trf of the Pottawatomtes were on hot'd to execute their weird dances In bis honor. Prom every lamp post and across every principal street hung flags, bunting, party insignia and pic tures of Curtis. For days Topeka planned for the great event. But Oarner wants nont of that. He doesn't like that sort of stuff. So the speaker will be formally notified of his selection as the run ning mate of Roosevelt In a unique way. Senator Barkley will merely write him a letter, put a three-cent stamp on It, and send It probably to Uvalde, Tex. Garner's acceptance speech will be made similarly. He will answer Barkley's letter, giving a copy of It to the press. The whole transaction will cost fait six cents. Then Oarner Is going fishing. As he puts It, he Is going to close the gate at his ranch In Uvalde so that nobody can get in to follow him around. Washington, particularly the social element of the capital, wonders Jurt what Mr. and Mrs. Garner will do with the vice-presidency If the Dem ocrats are successful in November. They have always ahurned society, preferring to remain to themselv.s after the day's work on the hill li over. Garner gave away the 15000 limou sine provided the speaker when fit tock office. And there are those win are laying odds that If he becomes vice-president, he'll have the vice presidential crest rubbed off that big limousine and turn it back, too.

Frank Craven, who acts when he Isn't writing, has a nice jod on his hands. It Is to write a screen story to fea ture two little 1 boys he has never seen, two very famous little boys, and their mother, who Is equally well known. It Is the story that will In itiate the two young eons of Charles Chaplin to their father's profession Craven, sitting in his office at the studio the other morning, admitted he hadn't the shadow of an Idea what sort of a story he would writs. But he was smilingly unworrled. "I know I'll get it written," he said. "The mechanical job of put ting a story on paper never worries mo. The only question In my mind is. will the studio like It? But haven t any control over that, so what's the use of worrying? Craven, author of 14 plays, In many of which he has appeared, has had experience entitling him to free dom from worry in that regard or any other pertaining to his craft. Fox recently completed filming of his "The First Year." and several other of his plays have been screened. And, compared to some of the dra matic tasks he has handled, the con fection of a screen story for LUa Grey Chaplin and Charles Spencer, Jr., and Sidney Earle Is mere routine. Craven may have no Idea as yet on the type of picture hell WTlte, but has definite Ideas on what It will not be. The chief of these is that it will In no way descend to the poor taste of trading on the success ow the youngsters father. "I've seen the boys In newsreels, he says, "and they're a clean-cut, at tractive pair of kids. That's how they'll be presented. Just as they are. "I don't know yet whether Miss Grey will play their mother In the film she may be cast as their aunt, or a friend, or Just as a young wom an In tne story. All that has to be decided." Craven, on the stage since he was three years old, and a member of family full of stage names, acted for the screen In his "The Very Idea," produced as an early talkie, but hat no acting plans for his present Journ.

Here was a visible, tangible demon stration of the constitution-amending processes of government at work over the wording of a very abort paragraph it was proposed to write Into the supreme law of the land. With what result? The debate disclosed 'hat everybody had his own Idea what words should be employed, and when adjournment arrived the advocate of a change appeared a little further apart, If anything, than they were In the beginning. Yet before the machinery of ratifi cation can begin to function, two thirds of the senate and two-thirds of the house must agree, not only on change, but on the precise form of that change. Clenr-Cotf Hardly As matters stand now, what la the Issue that la thrown over Into the congressional campaigns? Instead of a simple, direct question which be can answer yes or no, the voter finds a great variety of propo sals prominently on parade. Here are just a few: The submission plank adopted by the republican national convention. The repeal submission plank re jected by the republican convention but supported by a strong minority. The repeal submission plank re jected by the democrats. The repeal plank adopted by the democrats. The Glass substitute for the eigh teenth amendment. The Bingham substitute for the Glass substitute. The Wagner proposal just to say the eighteenth amendment Is re pealed." It the saloon to be barred, and if so how? A Pi liquor shipments to be permitted across dry states, from one wet state to another? How far can and should the federal govern ment go In protecting the dry states from wet neighbors? Four hundred end thirty-five members of the house and SO mem' bera of the senate are to be elected. Every candidate ctn take his own view. When the election la over, each successful candidate will come to Washington with what he calls "a mandate" from his constituents to support the particular form of change he advocated during the cam paign. If be favored any ohange at all Figure for yourself how long It will take to get these hundreds of mandates melted down Into one textual formula on which two-thirds can agree. Just a Beginning And that will be only the begin ning. The real decision whether the eighteenth amendment Is to stand or fall will be rendered later probably much later, -out m the states, hree quarters of them must agree, after two-thirds of congress has agreed. Apparently, whatever conventions may do, and whatever the people themselves may desire, this attempt to take prohibition out of the consti tution Is only tn Its infancy. KLAMATH FALLS.

THE IS Trans-Siberian Line Para dox in Nation's Military System Japan's Actions Strain Soviet Patience By Stanley P. Richardson MOSCOW (AP) The Trans -Si berian railroad, tht only line which links up tha whol, Soviet Union from the Baltlo to the Pacific, la at once the weakest and the strongest factor In the nntlon'ff transportation sys tem, from a military standpoint. This paradoxical fact la being con sidered here in the light of recent Japanese actions In Manchuria. There la evidence that such moves aa the Japanrse selauro on June 39 of Chi nese customs at Manchull, on Man churia's western border, and the more recent taking over of Russian docks and warehouses at Harbin, are straining soviet patience.

His torians lay part of the responsibility for caarlst Russia s defeat by Japan to the railroad's Inability to rush targe bodies of troops to Manchuria. Profiting by that lesson, the soviet authorities began reinforcing their already eUong military base In the Par East as soon as the war scare was occasioned here by Japanese occu pation of Manchuria. Now Red Army leaders assert that the Soviet is ready to repeal an Invasion a possibility about which the press here warns unceasingly. The military strength of the ilnk ties, paradoxically, In the place which might bo considered Its greatest weakness the fact that the far east ern end of the line, stretching 1.600 miles from Chita to Vladlvostock, la only single track.

Therein lies the strategy. An official of the commis sariat for transportation explained It tnts way: "Suppose an enemy Invaded soviet territory from the east. He naturally would make first for the Trans-Siberian, which Is the only means by which he could hope to advance. But a single track line could not accom modate the troops and supplies he would have to move.
