Strong Outlines Necessary Procedure for Changing Eighteenth Amendment
"There are two ways in which the eighteenth amendment may be ratified or changed," Dr. Frank Strong, ex-chancellor of the University, said today. "We have to do it in part in one of the most important questions confronting the nation today."
Mary in Richmond, Va.
"The first procedure is that congress, 'with the consent of two-thirds of both houses, shall, when it deems necessary, propose amendments.' The other way to change amendment would be the application of two-thirds of the legislatures of the states, a convention could be called to propose amendments. The amendment then would have to be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states or more than four-fourths of the states. The method of ratification chosen is determined by congress.
Dr. Strong said further that if the eighteenth amendment was to be changed by means of another amendment, as is the proposal of William
Allen White, that two-thirds of both houses in congress would have to propose this or call a convention to propose it as above.
"There is a danger in making changes in the eighteenth amendment," was an opinion expressed by Dr. Strong, "because there are many other amendments, and if this one is changed, then there is a position for women to be on women suffrage or the fourteenth or fifteenth amendment."
When questioned about the poll held annually by the Literary Digest, Dr. Strong replied that there were over fifty million voters in the United States and that the straw vote didn't equal more than four or five millions.
Dr. Strong expressed doubt whether the eighteenth amendment would be changed but I "believe in fixing it substantially," he said, "so that the minority will have opportunity to express itself on the question of change."
FRENCH LEADER BADLY WOUNDED IN PARIS TODAY

TWO OTHERS ARE HIT
President Was Attending Charity Salon to Help Needy Authors
Paris, May 6—(UP)—President Paul Doumer was shot and critically wounded by a financial Russian assault today. His recovery is in doubt.
The assasin, Paul Gorguloff, also shot and wounded Claude Farrere, president of the Author's league of France, and Paul Guchard, director of the Paris municipal police, before he was overpowered.
The shooting occurred at an afternoon charity salon in the mansion of Solomon Rothschild at 11 Rue Berryer, where many prominent guests had gathered in celebration of "book week." to aid needy authors and their families. Gorguloff entered the house, bursting overtured men and women in his path, and fired pointblank at the president.
Shots Strike Two Places
Doomer did not attempt to defend himself. He fell into the arms of two of his ministers. He was wounded at the base of the cranium and under the right shoulder. Farrere and Guichard grappled with the enraged Russian who emptied his pistol at them, wounding Doamer. He was blinded in and threatened to lynch him.
Doomer was taken to the Beaujon hospital across the street at 10:30 am, centrally located. Doomer were performed in an effort to save his life. Professor Gauchet performed the transfusion after which the president underwent an operation for cancer.
In a late bulletin D., Do. Paul, one of the attending physicians, said, "With preservation, I predict President Dou-
Galeis. His condition is not hopeless."
The injuries to Farrere and Guichard were insignificant.
'Outrage of a Decade'
Gorgulfuki is a doctor who has established himself in Paris. Police believe he had gone temporarily insane. The shooting was the biggest criminal act of its kind in France in a decade, and it led to the late Gregory Clemenaceau, who was wounded twice since the war and the dramatic assassination of the socialist leader, Jean Jaunes on the eve of the outbreak of the war in the 1914. Demeanor, who is 75, has increased greatly since he became president last June. He always remained above political quarrels and apparently had few political enemies.
