Statement of Referendum Plan
Comes During Discussion
by Party Leaders
DRYS SCOFF 'AT IDEA
Early Vote Expected to Assist
Anti-Prohibitionists in ,
Repeal Attempt
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. - (P) -
The persistent prohibition problem
today moved into line with others
waiting for Congressional doors to 1
>pen as a resolution for a Nationa,
referendum on the subject wasz
drafted.t
Prepared by Sen. Bingham, Re-
publican, Conecticut, who has long
thought there was little good in'
the liquor laws, it came just as wets
and drys were having an 'exchange
of statements on the subject.
Drys Scoff at Poll.
The latest of countless wordy
wais over the Eighteenth, Amend-]
ment and Volstead Act was precipi-
tated by an announcement from
the women's organization for Na-
tional prohibition reform that 149
members of Congress favored a
popular vote on the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment. tt
In quickly forthcoming rebuttals,
the drys said in effect that the pollt
meant nothing, or if it had signifi-
cance it showed that the Amend-
ment and the Volstead Act were
here to stay. Dry leaders in Con-
gress also showed no concern, and
althoughhtherewas no open com-
ment, their feeling has been for
some time that economic problemsf
at the coming session will keep pro-
hibition out of debate most of thel
time.
Sen. Robinson, the Democratic
leader, said recently that he did
not look, for action .o pr.hibltion.
' Bingham Wants Early Vote.
Bingham and some other Sena-t
tors, as well as a determined groupY
in the House, see the situation
differently. The Connecticut Sera-
tor wants a vote as soon as possible1
and said he would seek one "in
every waypossible under Senate
rules."
House wets are hoping that liber-t
alization of their rigid rules will
enable them to get the question up
in such a fashion thatevery mem-
ber will have to commit himself
one way or the other before next
year's election.
Three dry comments today all
called attention to the fact that
the 149 were not enough to sendl
the question to the people.
December Edition
of Gargoyle Will '
Appear Tomorrow
Merry Christmas will be the
theme of the December issue of1
Gargoyle which will appear on cam-
pus Thursday morning. Not only
will new features relating to thej
Xmas spirit be included but old
ones as well.
The cover of the magazine willt
be one of the typical puzzles which
Gargoyle has succeeded in arous--
ng comment with on the campus
Iand according to Thomas M. Cool-
ey. '32, managing editor, ought to
appeal to -the student imagination.
Four colors are used in the cover
drawing.
More short jokes than have ap-
peared previously will be present'
ed in the issue as well as choice
exchanges from other college hu-
mor publications.
Tom Powers, cartoonist, whose
sketches in Gargoyle have aroused
considerable comment, has drawn
The Revelers, popular radio quartet
which will give a concert Thurs-
day night, for the issue. An ap-
peal to contributors is also includ-
ed.

Gilmore Calls Gum
Chewing, American
Even the Indians Did Not Use
Essence of Spearmint.
Qum chewing is strictly an Amer-
ican iabit and is by no means a
modern fad, according to Prof.
Melvin R. Gilmore, curator of eth
nologiy, who says that the Indians
started.it all long before Columbus
claimed America for Queen Isabel.
The original inhabitants of North
America didn't use essences of
spearmint, or licorice to flavor their
cud, says Professor Gilmore, but
they obtained their gum straight
from nature. The resins exuded by
pine and spruce trees afforded them
large quantities of chewable sub-
stance which they obtained by
merely breaking it off the trees.
So important did the Indians
find their gum, that it was a com-
mon source of barter, particularly
among tribes dwelling in locations
where no such thing could be ob-
tained, says Professor Gilmore.
SHERIFF EXPLODES
Importance of Clothing Found'
in River Is Discredited
by Andres.*
Belief that the discovery of sev-
eral articles of women's clothing
yesterday morning in the Huronl
river might be a clue to some mys-
tery was exploded late last night
whn Sheriff Jacob B. Andres said
he attached no significance to the
find, and that the river would not
be dragged.
Earlier, in the day authorities at-]
tempted to connect the discovery
with the disappearance of Victoria
Niedzweici, 19, missing for the lasti
two weeks from the home of John
F. Dunn, 903 Dewey street, where
she was employed as a maid. Mrs.
Dunn was unable to identify the{
apparel.
Charles Coob, Ann Arbor trapper,
found the bundle of clothing yes
terday morning in shallow wter
near the end of Huron River drive.
It contained a dress, undergar-
mnents, new shoes, and a powder-
puff and lipstick. The nature and
condition of the articles indicateq
thal# they might have been stolen
and later disposed of by throwing
them into the river.
HELLERDISCUSSE
JE2WS ANDJUDISM
Rabbi Says Hebrew Religion Has
No Creed But Rather Is
Spiritual Culture.
"Judaism represents Israel's and
the Jew's quest for God and the
God-like life," said Rabbi Heller of
Hillel foundation at the second
Student Christian Association open
forum. "Present D a y Judaism"
formed the subject of Rabbi Hel-
ler's talk.
He explained that his religion is
not simple, and is a whole apart
from the old Testament. Accord-
ing to Rabbi Heller, this complicity
is so great that, "If two Jews get
together, three opinions will arise.'

Campbell stated in an interview
yesterday that the Abbey Irish
players were outstanding and that
their appearance here was, the
greatest theatrical event to occur
in Ann Arbor within the,/past five
years.
Besides being responsible for the
development of numerous well
known playwrights and actors, the
Abbey theatre of Dublin has done
more than any other single group
in the furtherance of the repertory
idea of production.
Questioned as to whether these
plays scheduled for next week at
the Mendelssohn theatre were pop-
ular or whether they tended to be
"high. brow," Professor Campbell
stated that they were decidedly of
a popular appeal.
