Emergency Committee Con
siders Problem of Youths
Lured by Wanderlust.
The Boys' Emergency Committee, co
operating In a national movement
undertaken by the National Associe t. ion
of Travelers' Aid Societies to cope with
the 300,000 boys reaming over the
country as transients, reported at a
meeting yesterday that more than 1,000
oi these transients reach Washington
every month. -
Paul L. Benjamin, vice chairman of
the committee, presiding in the absence
of Mrs. John Jay O'Connor, chairman,
said a definite program is being formu
lated by his group to meet the situa
tion. and it is expected to be per
fected within 10 days.
Keep Boys at Home.
"Our first work will be th« utilization
of Washington's resources in an effort
to keep the boys of Washington at
home," he said. "We plan to appeal to
their parents, telling them of the
dangers confronting the boy on the
road today. We intend to show that
'hitch-hiking' at the present time, be
cause of the many hold-ups on the
roads, is mostly a question of hiking
"We intend to picture the dangers
of such travel, the infrequency of food
and the psor quality, from a strength -
building standpoint, of that obtainable.
We intend to point out that jobs in all
sections are being conserved for the
reople of that section so that it is no
longer possible for a boy to 'work his
way.' And we intend to make plans for
the handling of the boys from other
cities who are stranded in Washing
ton."
Boys live in "Jungle."
Arthur Rosichan, executive secretary
of the United Hebrew Relief Society,
declared that a number of such boys
are to be found in the "jungle" located
Just outside the city, and these are in
addition to the more than 500 per
month handled by the Salvation Army
and the 200 or more handled by the
Travelers' Aid Central Bureau for
Transient Men. That other cities are
confronted with the same situation is
Indicated in reports received from Na
tional Travelers' Aid headquarters and
from figures compiled by the Federal
bureaus.

OF REPEAL ACTION
Bares Hope for Returning
Dry Issue to States in
Forum Plea.
By * Starr Correspondent of The Star.
CHICAGO. June 28.—As the Demo
cratic National Convention approached
the question of what it will do on the
prohibition issue, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie
of Maryland, one of the contenders for
the presidential nomination, told a Na
tion-wide radio audience last night that
he had hope and confidence the con
vention will take a clear stand for re
peal, in order that thp problem may be
returned to the individual States.
The Maryland Governor was speaking
in the National Radio Forum, arranged
by The Washington Star and broadcast
o\er a coast-to-coast network of the
National Broadcasting Co.
In reiterating his jwn position for a
return of the problem to the States,
Gov. Ritchie also emphasized that those
States which want prohibitory legisla
tion are entitled to have It, and that
there should be effective Federal meas
ures to protect those States against
shipments from other States that would
contravene their laws.
McAdoo Called Away.
William G. McAdoo, another promi
nent figure at the convention as head
of the California delegation, also was
scheduled to speak on the radio pro
gram last night, but had to attend a
meeting of one of the committees of
the convention.
Gov. Ritchie was introduced to the
radio audience by Oliver Owen Kuhn,
managing editor of The Star.
Gov. Ritchie's speech follows:
"Ladies and gentlemen of the radio
audience: I am extremely glad for the
opportunity, very grateful for the op
portunity, which the National Broad
casting Co. gives me to discuss with the
people of the country briefly my views
upon this great problem and subject
of national prohibition, and I may say
that nothing could have given me more
pleasure than to have been prasented
to the American people tonight by my
very good and valued friend, Mr. Oliver
Owen Kuhn. I am appreciative of his
very generous expressions about me.
•T am glad to discuss national prohi
bition this evening for one reason p?r
haps above others. I have believed
for so many years, for so long a tune,
in the principles which I irai briefly
outline today, that it is a great grati
fication to me to see so many people
coming to adopt them now. I be
lieved in them and Maryland believed
in them; but it was not, so to speak,
altogether fashionable, it was not quite
in order, it was not quite the fad.
Sees Problem of Control.
"But now the soundness of those
fundamental principles is coming to be
recognised, and I am glad to outline
them here tonight and to outline them
when the great convention of a great
political party is deliberating and is in
session, for surely the platform of that
party must contain clear, unmistakable,
fierce declarations upon the subject,
and I feel that the candidate of the
party, whoever he may be, should have
sound, sane views on this subject, too.

In operation it is because goodI «cog·
feel that their fundamental, their In
jtgbt* of «eU-fo-veroment h*ve
been nullified by the States, which thus
try by force to impose their will upon
unwilling sisters.
"It is considerations such as these
that must be taken into account in
the movement for temperance in this
country. I say for temperance be
cause, after all, that is the goal and
that ought to be the goal of all good
people, no matter to which side they
belong. I have profound respect for
those who sincerely differ with me on
this subject, but whether we agree
about it or whether we differ about It,
I do ask that we have the courage
to lace it and to face the facts, for
in no other way can conflicting views
ever become reconciled.
"My concern, as I intimated at the
beginning, is not all whether this coun
try is to be wet or whether it is to be
dry. My concern is how in this land
of diversifie.) people, of diversified con
ditions, how can government best deal
with this perplexing problem, how can
government deal with it? The question
is a question of government.
"My observation of recent history is
that our country's greatest progress
toward temperance was made before we
mixed morals and politics and legisla
tion all up together in the same crucible
and broiled the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead law. Our progress
toward temperance was made before we
tried to do by governmental force and
by constitutional right what can only be
done by education and by popular eanc
I tion and consent. Our real progress
toward tcm^erancc was made before we
put prohibition in the Constitu;ion,
where, as a matter of sound govern
ment, it ought twer to have been, and
where we were leaving it to the States,
where, as c, matter of sound govern
ment, it ought to be.
"Those States and those communi
ties—and here my friends, is the crux
of the whole thing—which want pro
hibitory legislation, they are entitled to
have it. If that kind of legislation
meets the circumstances, meets the
needs or the desires of any of the States,
then such States should be free and
undisturbed in the right to have the
legislation they wish. More than that,
effective Federal measures should be es
tablished to protect those States against
C-« 4- . * _ _ l_ 1
V/ l/AAV* MIIUWU niltVtl
would contravene their laws and the
will of their people, but other States
and other communities whose problems
are different, they also should be free
to enact such laws within their own
borders as are best suited to their needs
and their conditions and which in their
experience are best adapted to promote
temperance, to promote morality and to
promote order and law among their own
people.
"Now, I am entirely confident that
in the event of the repeal of the eight
eenth amendment every State in the
country In establishing Its own system
of control or regulation could be relied
on to guard against the return of the
saloon and to adopt effective measures
to promote the cause of true temper
ance.
"There Is another point about it. If
national prohibition were repealed and
State control substituted, the Federal
revenue thus derived would give Infinite
relief to an over-burdened and an over
taxed people. On the basis of condi
tions existing prior to the adoption of
the eighteenth am ndment, I am ad
vised that prohibition Is costing the
Federal Government a minimum of
$532,000,000 a year, that is, in decreased
revenues and in the cast of the Prohi
bition Department. Estimates which I
believe are more reliable place the loss
in Federal revenues nearer one billion
dollars a year.
Pictures Revenue Need.
"Now, If national prohibition were re
peated and those revenues were to be
free to come Into the Federal Treasury
again, then It would not be necessary
to have at least many of the emergency
taxes which, in the emergency of an
unbalanced budget. Congress has had
to Impose.
"Bring this home to yourself in this
way: The Federal Government is going
to charge you 3 cents postage on your
letters Instead of 2 cents. It Is taxing
you on your movie tickets, on your
checks, on your stock transfers, on
your land transfers, on your automo
biles, your radio, and so on, and so on,
almost ad infinitum.
"If the Government must do all this,
it must Impose all these nuisance ex
cise taxes for the simple reason that it
must make up the revenue which it
lost because of national prohibition.
Those things, those additional taxes on
your daily necessities, daily conven
iences, and dally comforts—those are
the things which national prohibition
is costing the American people. Do
away with It, abolish It, discontinue it,
and not only will the American people
be relieved of these new taxes which
Congress has had to impose when they
are already standing more taxes than
they could bear, but In addition to the
benefits already referred to, there
would be employment for thousands
and thousands of people who need work
but are now without It; new markets
will be open for the farmer, and crime,
the gangster and the racketeer, the
curse of modern America, will not
longer be financed by the outlaw
profits of an outlaw trade to victimize
and prey upon peace-loving and law
abiding citizens.
"Pending the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment all these beneficial results
would be promoted by such liberaliza
tion of the Volstead act as the eight
eenth amendment permits so as to al
low the manufacture of light wines and
of beer.
"And so my position on the eight
eenth amendment Is now as it always
has been. I think it was a mistake, a
mistake to put it in the Constitution
at all. I believe the welfare of the
people and the cause of temperance,
and the cause of love, and the cause
of order, and the cause of national self
respect. and the cause of national de
fense will all be served by rectifying
this mistake, and I hope, and indeed
I am confident, this national conven
tion meeting in Chicago today will take
a clear-cut. a definite and unmistakable
stand on the question; and I am con
fident. too, that that definite, clear, un
mistakable stand is going to be the
stand for the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, and for taking it out of
the Constitution, where it never should
have been, and thus returning the
whole subject back to the States.
"These are, briefly, my views on this,
one of the important issues which con
fronts the American people, and which
confronts the Democratic convention
In Chicago. If you believe as I do that
the welfare of the Nation or the inter
est of the Nation, if you prefer to put
it that way, depends upon the immedi
ate adoption of these principles of local
self-government which I have outlined,
if you believe that they can best be
carried Into effect by those who pro
pose them and who believe in them and
whom will insist upon them if they
have the opportunity, then you can
make your convictions help by commu
nicating at once with the delegates of
your States with the National Demo
cratic Convention here assembled.
Urges Public to Act.
Those delegates, as your representa
tives, are about to vote on this question
as embodied cither in the platform or
in the candidate, or both. They are
your representatives, these delegates in
Chicago, at least, they are the repre
sentatives of ali who belong to the
Democratic party.
"AU Democrats ought to let them
know, if they have not already done
so, what their sentiment in their com
munities is upon this question. You
can telephone them, you can telegraph
them. You have a right to do it. And
they want to hear your expression of
opinion on the eve of balloting. It is
sure to be given real consideration.
"I appeal to the American people—
you, the American people—to do your
part telling the delegates from your
State that you are watching the pro
ceedings, and that you. look to this
convention to see that the Democratic
party will go into the campaign fully
equipped upon this issue, and deserving,
as I think it will be, the victory of
next November.
"What is needed in one final word, I
think, governmentally, is a new birth of
the spirit of our historic Union. We
have gone too far on the lines of lib
eralization, of which this question of
prohibition is the most outstanding one.
We need to go back to some of the
fine, old spirt of old-fashioned Ameri
canism. We all like to be called liberal
and belong to the liberalistic movement.
Liberalism doesn't necessarily mean,
however, rushing headlong into new
ideas and new ways and forms of gov
ernment. Liberalism, true liberalism,
very well means going back to those
harbors which are safe and from
whence never Eire we safe. This, I ad
mit, calls for a strong central govern
ment; the times need that. But the
central government can only be endur
lngly strong If it gives expression to the
true spirit of the American Union, and
to true Americanism, and to true de
mocracy. It can only show effective
strength if it is composed of States
which are strong for their rights and
of States which are strong for their re
sponsibilities and their obligations, and
strong for the Federal Union as our
fathers conceived it."

SCIENTIST CASTS DOUBT
ON "HUMAN" MONKEY
German Declares Ape Called New
Species Probably Only
an Orang-Outang
By Cable to The Star.
BERLIN. June 28.—A young so-called
orangpendek, an almost human baby
monkey, whose shooting is announced
from Batavia, Dutch East Indies, as ι
having taken place in the Rokan dis
trict of Sumatra, Is probably nothing
but the garden variety of baby orang
outang.
Such at least is the suspicion of Dr.
Ernest Schwarz, German zoologist,
when he was aroused today from his
examination of bones and fossils of
Central African antelopes in the Berlin
Museum of Natural History and con
fronted with the story.
Dr. Schwarz admitted he had no con
crete reason for doubting the version
that the baby orangpendek represents a
new type of ape nearest man. except
that such stories are in themselves ex- ,
tremely improbable.
"Even if the Dutch government has
been led to believe that the dead
monkey baby is of an unknown species,
I am inclined to suspect that it is only
the common orang," he said. "The |
description of the baby's skin as rosy
brown and hairless, with a body height
of 16 inches and the color of Its hair,
might quite well be applied to such an
animal. I should like to be informed
further of any developments."

REPEAL URGED TO SAVE
EYES OF U. S. DRINKERS
Fusel Oil In Bootlei; Beverages
Held Serious Menaw to Sight,
Before Optometrists.
By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 28.—Repeal
of prohibition would keep the sight In
! the American eye. Dr. Julius Neumlller,
j chief of the clinic of Pennsylvania
State College of Optometry, said yes
terday during the thirty-flfth annual
congress of the American Optometrlc
Association. Prohibition repeal, he
noted, would reduce the consumption
: of beverages containing fusel oil. Qoo<t
alcohol, he added, does not injure eye
sight as much as caffeine or smoking.
Most of the blindness caused by
liquor consumption is caused by the
I presence of fusel oil in improperly
ι manufactured alsoholic beverages, Dr.
Neumiller added.
