Newspaper Page TextPAGE 2 A HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY. DECEMBER 7. 1953 .25 Years Of By BERNARD GAVZER Associated Press Newsfeaturra Writer While the 13 years of prohibition failed to turn the United States dry, the 25 years of repeal have tailed to make the nation wet. During the Prohibition Era when it was illeeal to nroduce or sell alcoholic beverages there was many a boozy oasis (or the citizen who did not like to drink bis water straight, On December 5, it was exactly 25 years since ratification of the 21st Amendment. This was the law which turned on the spigots again. But not wide open, as the ac companying map illustrates. Tor today there are two states where prohibition is in force. These are Oklahoma and Mississippi. Ad ditionally, there are 10 states con sidered less than 80 per cent wet By definition of the Licensed Beverage Industries, Inc., this de gree of wetness is figured on the basis of total population in a state where there is local option. For instance, let us say there is a city ot 400,000 where liquor is legal, surrounded by 10 dry cities of a total of 100.D0O population. This would mean the entire area is 80 per cent wet. The LBI says 83.8 per cent of the nation is legally wet This fig ure closely approximates that giv en by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, which says 25 million people live In areas where hard liquor is banned. The WCTU continues in its cam paign to prohibit the sale of liq uor, wine and beer, a campaign which began 84 years ago and saw its darkest hour with the re peal. The organization works to ward this end mainly in local on tion elections. Thus, in a thorough ly wet city such as Chicago, you will find a dry precinct such as the one taking in the northwest corner of B3rd Street and Cottage wove Avenue. All but eight states (Arizona California, Iowa, Nevada. North Dakota, South Carolina, Utah and Wyoming! and the District of Co- lumbi have local option provisions. Naturally, 100 per cent dry Okla homa and Mississippi have none. Additionally, there are 17 so called monopoly slates. These are states which engage in various ways and degrees in the sale of liquor. They buy from the producer and sell . to the customer. The 14' DEEDED ALLEYWAY CHOICE LOT 10th ond PINE INVESTORS Investigate!

While a state may be a monopoly state, it docs not mean it is 100 per cent Wet. Of the monopoly states, North Carolina is less than half wet; Alabama in the 50 per cent category; Vermont and Maine the 70 per cent bracket; Vir ginia 80 per cent and New Hamp shire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington and West Virginia in the 00 per cent division. On the other hand, legally dry Oklahoma and Mississippi number among the heaviest moonshining states in the nation.

The LBI claims that repeal has done much to make this a nation of moderate drinkers, rather than the booze hounds of prohibition. It says that during the years of the "Noble Experiment," the per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages averaged 2.0 gallons compared to 1.25 gallons per year now. GLASS Of MILK?'

Art-Sleuthing Attorneys May Have Hit Treasure CHICAGO (AP)-Two attorneys who dabble in art sleuthing and collecting have picked themselves I'i million- dollars in master pieces, says a Vatican art expert. The lawyers' outlay for the three paintings? Just $2,200. Extraordinary luck, says the Chicago artist who advised them to take a chance on their pur chases, "just like finding dia monds in the street." Prof. Amadore Porcella, cata logist for the Vatican Gallery of Art, pronounced .ihe lfith century paintings authentic Friday. He described them as: "Christ Carrying the Cross." by Giorgione; "Sacred Conversa tion," by Giovanni Bellini: and "The Massacre of the Innocents," by Raphael Sanzio. The lucky barristers are Ru dolph Vasalle and Paul Delaney. Delaney told a newsman he bought the 17 by 15 inch Giorgione for about SI. 000 from a Chicago dealer who apparently Ttnew little of its history. MAY VISIT RUSSIA MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPD- The Rev.

The Venetian artist painted only about one dozen masterpieces. The other: painting owned by Delaney was termed by Porcella "the great lost masterpiece of Bellini." The attorney said he bought It in 1955 for $l.ooo. The catalogist says it is worth $300 000. Last July. Vasalle walked out of a Chicago auction house with a small H by 16 inch painting for which he paid $170. That one, says Porcella. Is the Raphael. Value? $300,000, declares Porcella. Advising the attorneys was Al exander Zlatoff-Mirski, Chicago art restorer and sculptor, who has passed previous tips, though with somewhat lesser results. "I look at the painting and see its possibilities as a great one," he said. "Sometimes, it is valuable. Sometimes, the buyer does not even get back what he paid for the painting plus the cost of res toration. That's why so many of these 'finds' . are bought at auc tions. Dealers cannot or will not pay for the restoration." Asked why he himself did not purchase the paintings he had hunches about, Mirki answered: "I cannot afford to speculate.' from 1J:4S , TODAY!
