Wickersham Report Shows Favor Toward Continuance Of Present Liquor Statute

PRESIDENT STOPS ^a conspiruou8 p,a°e a*a ,pndpr EARLIER REPORT OF COMMISSION
TROJAN BAND TO REPRESENT S.C. AT FIESTA
Recommendation to Revise Eighteenth Amendment is Sidetracked by Hoover.
By PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent
(Copyright 1931 by United Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 20—(UP) —A report that President Hoover persuaded the Wickersham commission to abandon a tentative recommendation in favor of revising the Eighteenth amendment was confirmed in an authoritative quarter here tonight.
In this connection it was recalled that republican senate leaders were advised several weeks ago that the commission would report on January 6, but that after several sessions of the commission around that date? a mysterious delay intervened postponing the report for two weeks. No official explanation of this delay has been offered. However the report and the 11 separate indl-
of the dry forces ln the battle over prohibition which is expected to be waged as part of next year's presidential campaign. Insofar as his leadership is effective, hla action today commits the Republican party to defense on the 18th amendment. It could attempt revision only by repudiating his leadership.
RECOMMENDATIONS IGNORED
This development, surcharged with many political possibilities, brushed aside, so far as the administration is concerned, the Individual recommendations of a majority of the Wickersham commissioners who in separate reports favored abolition or basic revision of the 18th amendment to give congress power to restore the liquor traffic under government regulation.
Thus after nearly two years of searching, with the aid of a factfinding commission which has made the most thorough investi gation of prohibition ever undertaken, President Hoover stands on prohibition exactly where he stood when he was elected president and is now in position to lead the Republican party into the next presidential campaign as
