Prohibition Law Must Go, Demo Candidate Says
That "hypotrical, unconstitutional, dishonest, deceitful farce-like law about prohibition has got to be corrected." Harry Woodring, Democrat candidate for governor, avowed Wednesday night.
Mr. Woodring drew cheers from the rooting section of K. U. Woodring for Governor club members, who sat picnic-fashion on the floor directly in front of the microphone with another statement:
The former governor and secretary of war spoke to 2,500 Lawrence citizens and University students who were packed into the Lawrence community building.
"The University of Kansas needs a new field house," he thundered and I'll help build it!
He first mentioned the building of a field house along with a 12-year plan for the improvement of education, health and highways in Kansas. A listener's statement that K. U. can't wait 12 years for a field house bought this quip from the candidate.
Prohibition was the main topic of Mr. Woodring's speech. In quoting figures obtained from recent raids on liquor-selling agencies he sought to convince his audience that prohibition does not exist now.
"I'll get on that right after Jan-
uary, boys."
Kansas is wet right now," he shouted. "Bootlegger wet!"
Ninety million pints of hard liquor were sold last year in Kansas, he said, and the eight million dollars in taxes were paid outside Kansas borders.
"That much money could have been paid to Kansas," he added.
Mr Woodring singled out the "bone-dry" law, which makes it illegal to have liquor in the home, as the worst feature of prohibition.
"A young boy buys a bottle for a couple of drinks," he said, "but then he can't take it home. So he sits down by the side of the highway and kills it."
He exhibited photographs of a Togeka club with the sign, "Closed Until Nov. 6." to support his contention that bootleggers were playing tribute to the present regime.
"It's respectable citizens like you folks who do the drinking." he told his audience, "and then some persons stagger to the palls and vote for the machine from which boot-legers buy protection."
Mr. Woodring described his cam-
paign "a crusade to drive out the
ypocritical machine that has had
Kansas by the throat for years."

Woodring Confident Of Victory, Ignores Non-Political Matters
By BILL HAGE (Daily Kansan Managing Editor)
(Daily Kansan Managing Editor)
Confidence in his victory at the polls Nov. 5 and a disdain of nearly everything not directly connected with politics and government seem to pour out of Harry Woodring.
MR. woodring, former governor and now Democratic candidate for governor of Kansas, is short and stocky, has a ruddy complexion and a nearly bald head, wears rimless glasses and in his gray herringbone suit looks like a successful businessman who has just put over a profitable deal.
His only action which might be called a nervous reaction was his habit of spreading his fingers and bringing the tips together in the manner of a banker thinking over a loan. While he didn't appear weary, he admitted that the strain of 6:30 a.m. to midnight days was making a tired man of him.
At a dinner before the Democratic rally Wednesday night, he was relaxed and talked animatedly of the margins by which he would carry counties. He seemed concerned while discussing the effect of Republicans claiming (wrongfully, he said) he had originally promised $60 a month to old people and then had dropped his figure to $50.
Rarely during the dinner was anything not political spoken of and when a non-political subject came up, he seemed to lose interest in
He talked at length of his plans for long range programs in Kansas and he used the phrase "when I am governor" oftener than the phrase "if I am elected."
On the street while sauntering to the Community building, the subject of antique mechanical banks came up and he and a Democratic party member from Kansas City talked over the difficulties of finding the banks now. (Several years ago, he bought a collection of toys and has added to it until he now has some 50 banks.)
He queried students at the table on campus political feeling and didn't seem surprised when he was told the repeal plank was converting K. U. voters.
the story and answered only in monosyllables.
He told how his wife kept him awake by reading late at night every month just after a collector's magazine hit the newsstands.
The last block before arriving at the rally he became quiet and said little other than to remark that he wasn't going to use the prepared speech sent him.
About that time a loudspeaker began to blaring a cowboy song and the people crowding into the building became visible.
He grinned, strolled on up the steps and began shaking hands like a campaigne with his heart in the job.
'Dream' House, With Jayhawks On Windows Teaches K.U. Women How To Keep House
If you're looking for a dream house, there's one on the K.U. campus. It's the white home management bungalow on the south side of the hill below Blake hall. You can recognize it by the Jayhawks cut in the bright green shutters.
Built in 1828, the home has been used by home economics seniors for laboratory work in home management courses. Each six weeks, five women move into the white cottage and manage it. One becomes cook, another waitress, another house-keeper, and so on in alternating periods.
They do the laundry and cleaning, buy and prepare the meals, and wrestle with the problems that always beset the housewives. Miss Damaris Pease, instructor in home economics, supervises the work.
S six rooms must be kept in shining order as an example of good housekeeping. The living room with its fireplace, the dining room, kitchen, and a small study complete the first floor.
On the second floor are three bedrooms, furnished with twin beds, and a bath. The entrance hall and the stairway with its broad landing require constant waxing.
The president rejected rumors that he would call congress back into special session. He said if congress so desires it can reconvene itself. The new congress will meet Jan. 3.
"It keeps us busy," Miss Pease sighed. "just polishing the steps."
The classes have made plans for redecorating the house but, as everyone else, they must wait until materials are available. One bright spot was the new refrigerator the home received this fall.
The president would not comment on questions about the soft coal strike threatened by John L. Lewis. He said Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug is handling this matter. Neither would the president discuss the prospects of wage decontrol.
Washington (UP)—President Truman told a news conference today he has no intention of calling congress back into session.

Master Decontrol Bill Prepared For Nov. 1
Washington (UP)—Controls on all cosmetics and almost all foods have been removed by O.P.A. effective today and another decontol order is being prepared for about Nov. 1.
Today, for the first time since 1942, housewives will find price ceilings gone from all foods except sugar, syrups, molasses, and rice. Controls also were removed from food and beverages sold by restaurants and other eating places.
Along with food, countless miscellaneous items were decontrolled today, including cosmetics, drug sundries and some lumber.
Foods joining the decontol list today included bread, flour, candy, canned fish and other canned goods, cereals, bananas, oranges, seven edible oils, whisky, beer, soft drinks, tea, and cocon. Because of the soap and paint shortages, OPA retained controls over linseed oil and 16 other inedible oils used in making soap and paint.
The Nov. 1 "master decontrol" order will complete the job of returning all but highly essential cost-of-living items to free pricing. These essentials include building materials, rents, clothing, machinery, textiles, consumer durable goods, and metals.
Washington. (UP)—Nearly every serviceman or woman who held government life insurance can expect eventually to get a dividend payment, a Veterans administration spokesman said today.
G.I. Life Insurance Will Pay Dividends
The spokesman said the payment in many cases will at least equal the cost of converting wartime insurance into permanent policies.
First payments will probably be made in about a year, the spokesman said, although it may be longer. The Veterans administration is now checking 18 million file cards to determine how much of a dividend is due on each policy. The exact amount of money available for dividend distribution has not yet been determined.
In all, about 15 million individuals held the 18 million government life insurance policies. About 10 million of these have been allowed to lapse, but dividends will be paid on these policies as well as those still in force.
'Y' Freshmen To Elect
Today is the last day for submission of names of nominees for freshman Y.M.C.A. officers. All nominations must be in the Y.M.C.A. office in the Union by 4:30 p.m., and each must be signed by at least three members.
'Oh My Arching Back! Say K.U. Mailmen; Two Of Them Carry 305 Pounds A Day
Election will be held at 7:30 tonight in Myers hall.
Two mail carriers delivered 305 pounds of mail Monday morning to various offices at the University, according to R. C. Abraham, superintendent of the K.U. mail station.
That wasn't all, though. The 305 pounds of incoming raliid did not include mail addressed to the University library, the Extension division, the state water and sewage laboratory and the Daily Kansan—
all heavy mail receivers who get their mail directly from the Lawrence postoffice. Mail to those offices, he said, probably exceeded 500 pounds.
Nor does the figure include packages weighing more than four pounds, which are delivered by truck.
The University station last week passed the $40,000-mark in postal receipts since the first of the year. If the University station were a postoffice, its expected 1946 receipts of more than $50,000 would rank it as an office of the second class.
UN Secertary General Asks Discussion Of Franco Spain
United Nations Hall. Flushing, N.Y. (UP) — Secretary General Trygnie Lie called upon the United Nations general assembly today to act on the question of Franco Spain which he declared will continue to "remain a constant cause of mistrust and disagreement" as long as Generalissimo Francisco Franco remains in power.
Mr. Lie's action in bringing the Spanish situation to the attention of the general assembly exercised his powers as secretary-general of the UN to call to their attention situations which "in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security."
Mr. Lie's action was expected to insure a complete discussion out of the much-debated Spanish question.
