(By the Associated Press) Maine, - birthplace of prohibition. will vote Monday on ratification of repeal of the 18th amendment, to be followed the next day by Maryland, Minnesota and Colorado. If the four states favor repeal, 39 of the 36 states required to abandon prohibition will have registered their approval of the change. .

Repeallsts contend that Maine, which went "bone dry in 1851, will abandon the prohibition cause and Join the 28 states which have voted to ratify repeal. The Maine ballots will be compli cated. Its courts have ruled the wet and dry allegiance of 60 delegates to be elected cannot be designated. Both aides claim Maryland, Minne sota and Colorado.

Year Used As Basis and Most Of It From Federal Sources Survey Shows. SALEM, Sept. 9. ?) On the bssis j of relief expenditures during the first j six months of 1033 as paid out by the sta relief committee alone, the year's j needa will total in excess of $7,000,000 a study of activities revealed here to day. And this fund, it was learned, did not provide any families except those In need and applying for aid, while the many unemployed on the border line and not requesting funds were unaided. The relief committee spent 3,663.- 889 directly to families unable to ob tain funds from other sources, the peak during the six months being reached in May when 61.287 cases were aided. In most instances these .rep resented entire families under one case. Of the sum spent only $337,633 was contributed by local communities, while the rest was obtained from the reconstruct ion finance corporation and the federal emergency reJief act. It was on these flgurea that the re lief committee baaed Its original con tention the atate must provide up wards of $5,000,000 for the next 14 months, since federal fund will be . P" m proportion to that spent by the state, or one to every two dollars expended in Oregon. These figures also were the basis for .she suggested $8,000,000 minimum to be raised by the special session of the legislature when called to consider the problem. The case load of the committee, I headed by Raymond B. Wilcox, rang-1 ed from 20.179 families in July to the peak in May. Monthly expenditures were from $347,617 In July to $770. 417 in May. Seasonal employment was accounted the reason for the more than 30.000 drop in the cast loan In two month. Wilcox stated recently that more than 50 per cent of the relief work was by necessity done in Multnomah county. Most of local contributions likewise came from that county, these from an average around $35,000 a month. Makin allowances for the NRA pro gram and the public works program, both of which cannot be accurately computed as to effectiveness upon un employment within the next year, WUcox stated the need for relief will still be a major Issue, and that the figures for the psat six months were a conservative estimate, becsuee msny who have been unemployed have resched the end of their endurance and more people who have been on the bordeT line must call for help Diplomatic Rumor. waahinotok Bent.
