RASKOB HOME RULE
PLAN THREATENED
BY SOUTHERN ORYS
Protest, Praise, Discord Follow
Chairman's Liquor Poll of
National Committee.
BYRD SCORES PROPOSAL
Hull Protests Effort to Make
Prohibition Paramount
Issue in Party.
WASHINGTON, April 7. -(P)-
Protest, praise and discord today
followed Chairman Raskob's prohl-
bition poll of Democratic national'
committee men.
What would happen was prob-
lematical. A number of southern
dry leaders, however, redoubled ef-
forts to forestall convention ap-
proval of the national committee
chairman's home rule plan. Others
saw his proposition as a solution
to prohibition questions, while at
least one committee man urged the
party to commit itself to a referen-
dum on the eighteenth amendment.
Hull Scores Poll.
Senator Hull of Tennessee who
once held the position Raskob now
occupies, interpreted the poll as an
effort to make prohibition a 'para-
mount issue, which automatically
would, for an indefinite number of
years, exclude serious or deliberate
consideration of all other issues
and 'problems' no matter how vex-
ing.
Another outstanding southern dry
leader, former Gov. Byrd of Vir-
ginia, reiterated his belief that the
national committee should not es-
tablish party policies. That pre-
rogative, he said, should be left to
national conventions.
Raskob Instructs Group.
Chairman Raskob had attempted
to anticipate this objection in his
letter to committee men. He said
the last national convention in
structed the group he heads to
make "recommendations of policies
or procedure for the consideration
of the convention." His proposals,
and the poll, he said, were in line
with that direction.
But Mrs. Charles J. Sharp, na-I
tional committee woman for Ala-
bama, asserted: "I can say that I
truly grieve that Mr. Raskob has
persisted in urging a commitment
by an unauthorized committee."
Senator Robinson o Arkansas,
senate leader who vigorously pro-
tested the home rule proposal when
it was advanced at the Democratic
national committee meeting here
in March, declined to comment. His
friends here said they had no rea-
son to believe he had changed his
forrer opinion.
