'Si Twentv-eifflith Year re Huey Long's Political Forces .Routed in Louisiana Election By PAUL MALLON. Copyright, 1033, by Paul Mallon Self-ConMUence WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. The Roose velt peopla have a secret reason for acting ao cocksure In the (ace o( the current opposition whirl. They are not Just whistling In the dark or trying to maintain a bold 4 Iront to cover a weak heart. They really believe that for the tint time since Jackson they have driven a wedge between the great jnasa of common people In the coun try and the recognized popular mouthpieces. They are confident a two-thirds majority of the people are with them. One thing which leads them to believe that la the fact that about 4000 letters a day are pouring Into the White House. Ninety per cent (they swear) are of a laudatory character. Foreboding If you mark that down aa idle propaganda, you are making a mis take. It is a sincere Inherent feeling which will have much to do with the future course of administration action. It meana the Roosevelt people do not care particularly who alngs out against them. They will not be stam peded. The flight of conservatives, the stronger press criticism, the be stlrrlngs of strong organizations like the United States Chamber of Commerce these mean little when i their leader is getting around 120,000 letters a month from voters saying: "We are wlth you." Living Mr. Roosevelt has an Interesting formula for living. He has perfected and atlll la using an ample device for shaking off his troubles so he can sleep at night. He keeps at hand the best detect ive fiction and some cross-word puz rles. He la very particular about the fiction. Hla experience as a member of the crime commission taught him that crimlnala do not act the way most of our fiction writers pretend. Recently he and Louis Howe have favored yarns about Scotland Yard. It la so far away, and they know ao little about It, that they can keep themselves believing the stories about It are plausible. Reason Mr. Hoover had Wie same habit. So have thousands of other men who work with their minds on big pro jects through the day. An Interested party recently made a check at a bookstore In a large building on downtown Broadway, New York. He found that there, where the most Important lawyera. engineers, architects and business men of the country have their of fices, the best sells were detective fiction. The salea there were greater than In any other bookstore in Man hattan. The idea seems to be that the trivial plots are aufflciently absorb ing to require concentration but not Important enough to tax the mind. Fever The NRA crowd la very bitter on the Inside about the publicity It haa been getting. The Johnson crowd feels that a large string of newspapers haa been particularly unfair. Another Journal also Is thoroughly disliked around NRA headquarters. Maximum hate, .however, is reserv ed for the business letter services, circulated privately from Washing ton. Some of the feeling la Justified: much of It la not. It seems that proponente and opponents of the sys tern are both working themselves up Into a typical political campaign fe ver whero prejudice supplant Judg ment and fervor deprtvea men of hu mor and reason. Politics- Theres are some underlying signs that the boj-s are getting t'lelr poli tics mixed up with their coneumers' project. Director Paul Douglas of that out fit la supposed to have handed down regulations whereby a Democartle woman la to be selected aa hesd of each consumer commltee In every district throughout the country. Other non-parttsans are to be on the committees, but a woman la to nesd them and ai must be a Democrat. It may not be in the official regu lation but insiders avow that la the way the system la being organized. The Idea apparently Is to get wo men who are ardent supporters of the project and can be trusted. Sot- An American communist m-riter ar rived in Cuba a few days ago with a DIPLOMATIC paa.port Issued by the sta'e department, Cuban au- thortties took It up when they found out who he was.

(Oomlaucd oo Pi Twelve Medford Mail Tribune J5) JU UTAH FINAL ACT Pennsylvania and Ohio Act -Earlier in Day Sale Legal at Once in 18 States Celebrations Start WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. (AP) Prohibition today was wiped from the constitution. The Utah convention was the 36th and deciding one to act. With a cheerful dispatch, conven tions in Pennsylvania and Ohio sev-i eral hours previously had ratified the twenty-first amendment to supplant the eighteenth and notified the de partment of state. So the Utah word was all that the acting secretary of state. William Phillips, needed to affix his signature to the formal proclamation of the ; first amendment repealing an earlier amendment to the constitution. Brief Ceremony A minimum of ceremony was ar ranged for this occasion. The same was true at the White House, in con nection with President Roosevelt's proclamation noting repeal and set ting aside various taxes as of Janu ary 1. The announcement of actual re peal, making possible the first legal sales of beverage llquo In the coun try In almost 14- years, was signal for celebrations in convivial spots dot ting the country. In only 18 states could liquor be sold at once, however with varying degrees of dryness now and to come marking the remaining 30 states. Would lilt Bootlegger Up to the last minute before repeal, federal efforts were being exerted to Increase liquor supplies ani thus at tack the bootleg industry from the start. Large Import of whiskey from Canada were authorized, and the way was being cleared to let medicinal liquor stocks go Into legal beverage channels. Exhortations for temperance char acterized the final hours of national prohibition and the conventions, along with arguments In New Jersey and elsewhere on the form of regula tion to be used. , TAKES INTEREST PORTLAND, Dec.

Assorlntert' Press Staff Writer. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. (AP) The government is considering a plan to release all medicinal liquor stocks for beverage purposes Immediately after proclamation of repeal this evening. While President Roosevelt and Act ing Secretary Phillips at the state department awaited the repeal con vention in Utah to proclaim the pass ing out of the 18th amendment, se rious consideration was given to as suring an adequate supply for the twenty or so states that either will allow liquor immediately or soon. To hamper the bootleg trade Is one goal. Approval Expected Todny. One official said that In all likeli hood the plan would be approved late in the day. The Utah action is ex pected about 0:30, eastern standard time. It was estimated the plan would release for immediate consumption approximately 500.000 gallons of do mestic and Imported spirits and wines. Meantime, a tentative regulation to curb Imports from Canadian and Mexican border points by casual pur chasers was before the acting secre tary of the treasury, Henry Morgen- tnau, Jr. As drafted by the customs bureau and the internal revenue bureau, it would limit purchases by Americans going across the border to every 30 days. It would bar persons from going across the border to bring In liquor to evade the S a gallon tariff on purchases of $100 or less. Under the law, persons sre able to bring Into the country up to $100 In merchandise. To Cork Bootleg Outlet. Awnlting the historic conventions of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Utah, the government also moved today to cork potential outlets for bootleg liquor existing In Illegal operations within the rectifying Industry. Dr. William V. Llnder. head of the technical division of the bureau of Industrial alcohol, answering ques tions put by C. S. Greenbaum, mem ber of the president's liquor control committee, said: "Unless the government takes over control, 6000 or 10,000 people could qualify aa rectifiers Immediately and undoubtedly would produce a lot of inferior spirits like the bootleggers have been producing. r To lMie Proclamation. f As soon as the state department in forms the White House that the 36th state has approved repeal, the presi dent will issue a proclamation under the national recovery act, stating that repeal haa occurred and that certain taxes imposed by the act will cease the first of the year. There will he no ceremony in con nection with the signing and issuance of the proclamation. Another proclamation by the acting secretary of state will declare the new amendment In effect.
