Bj Byron Price, i

. 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to be amended or repealed, it will be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.

of all veterans from federal property.
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. No tear gas bombs
wero used In the first clnsh, officers

In his statement, Attorney-General

"Many of them are violating the

UNORTHODOX VIEW
OF OFFICE DUTIES
(By Herbert IMummer.)
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.

IMITATIONS IT'
T
By Robbm Cooni.
HOLLWOOD. 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

DRY LAW REPEAL
TO TRAVEL SLOW
Debate in Senate Discloses
Inability of Members to
Agree On Wording
Effort Only In Infancy
By Byron Price
If anyone thinks repeal of the-
eighteenth amendment can be effect
ed quickly or easily, he should read
the record of that Saturday night
prohibition debate with which the
senate wound up its sessions.
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.
