the 36 states required to abandon
prohibition will have registered their
approval of the change. .
Drya Insist that when Maine votes
the state's traditional prohibition at
titude will be maintained.
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

STATEJD FUND
Relief Expenditures Past
. 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

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. (AP)
New difficulties In the way of a bl

today to vex the recovery adminis

added complications.
Numerous objections to the pro

Arthur D. Whiteside, deputy ad
ministrator In charge of retail codes,
felt It imperative, however, that there
be no delay and sought to put the
plan Into effect aa rapidly as pos
sible.
Two strike problems were taken
up oy the national, labor board, a
vital section of tha recovery ma

out of New Jersey area silk mill work

land street car dispute.
The retail code, ranking Just be
hind coal aa ono of the primary NRA
problems, a being drawn contained
a cost-plus section which, except In
snerlf.3 Instances, wouH require re
tailers to sell goods at 10 per cent,
or more, above the cost of the times.
A special committee waa set up by
the cabinet Industrial recovery board
to atudy the cost-plus question. Rep

A search, for legal obstacle which

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,
Sept. 9. Most of ua had tha
impression that the late hip; war
was started all nt once hy Ger
many deciding it would be s
good time to go through Bel
gium. Well du you know that this
fellow that died yesterday, this
Englishman Viscount Grey, who
at that time was Britain's for
eign secretary, well, according
to all official records that have
heen published, had had dozen '
of conferences and communica-
tions among all these nations
for weeks t .Also read Colonel
House's book.)
So, according to all the dope,
this fellow Grey had quite
time arranging the war. It
looked ,for a while like he
wasn't going to put it on. Now
I see where Lloyd George's
hook says the same thing.
It's awful hard to get into a
war without a diplomat.
