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

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.

Roosevelt has led to CWA recognition
of the necessity for forming work
projects in behalf of many women re

employment service.
The state civil works administra
tion announced today that appoint
ment of Mrs. W. W. Gabriel of Port
land as state director of women's work
under the CWA program, has been

WOULD BE HIT BY
ROOSEVELT'S PLAN
By CECIL B. DICKSON.
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.

Jackson County Share State
and Elementary School
Money Is $146,957 To
tal All Purposes $313,097
Jackson county's apportionment for
the state and elementary school tax
money Is $146,957.01, for 1033, accord
ir.g to Information received from the
state tax commission. In 1933, It was
$148,289.69.
Upon the receipt of the figure to j
be raised for state and elementary
school tax, the county court embodied
it In an order for the levy on the
budget, and filed It with the county
assessor for fixing of the levy.
Total Is $313,097.
The amount to be raised by levy
for all county purposes Is fixed at
$313,007.60. In 1933 it was $275,-
633.87, an Increase of $37,464.73. This
Increase Is approximately the amount
expended in suppression of agitators
Fehl and Banks, the turmoil trials,
and the operation of the county com
missary, not Including expenditures
for large amounts of gasoline, tele
phone charges for calls to de
fense counsel, and sending mes
sages to Congressman James W.
Mott at Washington, D. C, by offic
ials of the self-styled "Good Govern
ment Congress."
Total cost of the Fehl "economy"
will run between $66,000 and $76,000
for seven months In office.
Amounts Mated.
The order of the levy calls for the
following amounts In the various
county funds:

arc going to lynch my old
friend Governor Rolnh for
speaking from bis heart instead
of from diplomacy. Maybe an
other old friend, Ethel Barry-
more, i hanging from a limb
for telling about 90 per cent, of
the truth about modern fociety.
Maybe the world ia in mortat
turmoil.
But I just cau't get interest
ed in it today, for our pet dog
wan killed by a truck. So darn
everything. 0. 0. Mclntyre will
know how we feel. I love
dog. Ho does nothing for po
litical reasons.
