Rumors of Change in Liquor Report Spread at Capital
Wickersham Decision Is Aledged to Be Altered Through President
HOOVER SAYS NOTHING
No.93
Washington, Jan. 21—(UP)—A report that President Hawkeyan had persuaded the Wickersham commission to abandon a tentative recommendation for revision of the eighteenth amendment and adopted today in an authoritative quarter.
The report followed speculation concerning discrepancies between the separate reports of the commissioners and the commission's general findings.
The commission, in its general report stated that if the eighteenth amendment was changed to give congress power to treat unlawful adults instead of making prohibition public.
Final Report Merely Suggests No such suggestion was contained in the final general report, either for action immediately or any other time; commission merely suggested what the change should be if anything is done.
Chairman Wickersham of the commission, however, denied the story, albeit with some reference to the apparent discrepancy between the individual and the gen-
He issued a 34-word statement that the claim "that the President persuaded this commission to abandon a tentative recommendation in favor of revising the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution and without any foundation whatever."
Strengthens Prohibition Issues
Amnesty has been provided in the case of a nation that is prohibition issue deeper into national politics, with the possibility of its becoming the dominant issue in next year's election, according to the prevIEW here.
Strengthens Prohibition Issue
At the White House today neither the President nor his usual spokesman would confirm or deny that the President had perished the Wickerman commission to alter its recommended order, a revision of the eighteenth amendment.
If the Democrat, as desired by their national chairman, John J. Raebow nominate an anti-prohibitionist, the issue would be forced.
President Hoover took his stand behind the eighteenth amendment and against its revision in his message to congress transmitting the report. This declaration was regarded here as compulsory by most Americans, as it accepts Mr. Hoover's leadership to the dry cause. It forecasts his campaign for re-election on the dry side.
Hoover Will Be Dry
Try to Clear Mystery
Washington, Jan. 21.—(UP)-Senator Simeon D. Foss, chair of the Republican National committee, said Wednesday he would seek for continuation of the present prohibition system forecasts the position he will take in the 1932 presidential campaign, which was being a conference at the White House, but said that it had nothing to do with anything which had been said during his interview with the presider.
Washington, Jan. 21—(UP) A move made in congress today to clean the mystery involved in the seeming hacking of the state's official commendation of the Wickersham report and the individual report of commissioners taking widely different
The congressional step, a resolution fostered by Senator Tydings of Maryland and supported by the commission processes in reaching a conclusion followed closely upon publication of a United Press story quoting a high-falconer who had been denied the recommendation. Hoover had intervened at the last moment to induce alteration of an immediate revision of the recommendations.
This story met denial from Wickerham sham today. Newspapermen, seeking elucidation from a commissioner, were given the opportunity to headquarters which they countered with the suggestion that it did not explain the matter. They were thruppon greeted with the comment, "imbecile," as the commissioner left.

'Rackets' Defined by Paul Blanshard in Forum Address
Says Essence of Practice I
Getting Something
for Nothing
ANNOUNCE SPEAKER
Aracket as defined by the Chicago employer's association and brought out by Paul Blankard in his address before the noon lunchconference today in the Union building is "any scheme that parades graft themselves on the label of others and live by terrorism, representation and manipulation."
The essence of all rackets is then getting something for nothing and modern business racketeers, declared Mr. Capone's boss, got from 6f from the sub-legal liquor traffic. Sub-legal traffic was first attacked by Capone, who adopted the weps at the bar.
Liquor constitutes the biggest pool of profits for racketing the gross liquor hall of Chicago alone being essential to the success week of which three-thousand is profit, making a total of approximately 123 million dollars profit each year. Distributing this among the 2,000 gangsters in New York, the annual income of $30,000 a year for each of the gangsters or $30 a week pocket money for each policeman and would make it possible for the leaders of prohibition to save 84 million dol-
Says Where It Starts
Bucklehurst, according to Mr. Blankshard, starts with an island of public swimming pools and surrounds by a world of private properties. Public service is polluted by this environment and our political system can be harmed by the pollution in which we live. Gambling has been thought of as a secrecy crime but it also contributes to the playing of the laws of chance for honest肝肝, stated Mr. Blankshard, because this substitution also protests.
Financial rackets are a favorite in our economic world. All that is one reason to sell the public stock for more than it can make a large profit or you self and sell the stock without an opportunity. This inside "shimming of scarcity," with each scarcity velpo, but each time we do some, one honestly deserving, is earning a dollar which they will never recoup.
Normal Phenomenon
Racketing is a normal American, phenomenon brought on by two important factors in our economic system, the first, that business in America has become so powerful, control, and second, that business becomes so powerful that it dominates those who seek to control, and until we can get the pool of profits for the community as a whole, then will racketing cease to exist, the spokesman said.
