First Returns of Prohibition Poll
Show Widespread Wet Sentiment

HEADS METING Iowa Falls Before Wolverine

A crushing b 1o w culminating
more than a year of telling attacks
was administered the prohibition
element yesterday when the first
returns of the Literary Digest's na-
tion-wide poll revealed a ringing
wet 500 per cent majority for the
repeal element with ten states
heard from.
Out of 323,000 votes counted, on-
ly 51,000 were in the column head-
ed "continuance of the eighteenth
amendment" while a phenomenal
273,000 were totaled up in favor of
repeal.
All ten of the states reporting
showed predominant wet majori-
ties. They included Georgia, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Maryland, New York,
North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia.
The state which most closely ap-
proached a dry advantage w a s
North Carolina with 5,000 for con-
tinuance and 7,000 for r e p e a 1.
Maryland was 2,000 dry and 11,000
wet. New York was 32,000 dry and
224,000 wet.
This c u r r e n t prohibition poll
which was announced only a month
ago and is being carried out with
the purpose of indicating what
change has taken place in prohibi-
tion sentiment since the last simi-
lar poll two years ago. Also it is
being conducted with the view to
overcoming one of the admitted
weaknessess of the last poll, which
was that a third modification col-
umn confused the issue and lined
up a large block of votes which
both the wet and the dry factions
claimed. This year the issue is a
clear cut one; the ballot gives the
voter only one choice either repeal
or continuance of the eighteenth
amendment.
The first returns of the poll held

Overwhelming Majority Favors
Repeal of Volstead Act,
18th Amendment.
7 (Special to The Daily)
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Feb. 15-
Practically unanimous repudiation
of the prohibition of intoxicants by
the government has been voiced by
college daily newspaper editors, re-
sults of the poll conducted recently
by the University of North Carol-'
ina indicate. 30 of the 34 editors
questioned favored repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment and the
Volstead act.
Three were in favor of retaining
these acts while the editor of the
Daily Nebraskan replied that he
favored neither repeal nor reten-
tion. ,
A. C. Aslakson, editor of the.
Minnesota Daily and the most out-
spoken of the voters in the poll, of-
fered this comment: "I am defin-
itely opposed to prohibition. I be-I
lieve it has led to the vicious usef
of alcohol by our American youth
... What's the use of asking if pro-
hibition has been enforced? Nei-
ther is it enforceable."
The New York Telegram refers to
the results of the poll as an indica-
tion that the youth of today is
prepared "to undertake the future
task of protecting the integrity and*
consistency of the Constitution in-
stead of misusing it for irrational
experiment . . something for which
the nation today can be devoutly
thankful."

ful Northwestern team 17 to 13 last
night in Yost field house in the
opening Big Ten meet.'
Art Mosier, M i c h i g a.n A. A.U.
champ at 145 pounds, pulled one
of the'biggest surprises of the eve-
ning by holding Garrigan, national
A. A. U. 155-pound titleholder, to a
time advantage of 3:21 at 155. Sev-
eral times Mosier almost had his,
man, pinned but being outw'eighed
by the Northwestern grappler lack-
ed the necessary push to put it on
him.
Thomas Beats Harris.
At 135 pounds Blair Thomas,
Michigan veteran, took the deci-
sion over H a r r i s, Northwestern,
with an advantage of 9:26.
Mat fans saw the Wolverine Cap-
tain in aetion for the first time this

Rea Calls '33 J-Hop
Dryest, Quietest of
Recent Junior Balls
Less liquor and fewer drunken
students were in evidence at the
1932 J-Hop, held in the Intramural
building last Fridpy night, than at
any other Hop held here in' recent
years, according to Walter B. Rea,
assistant to the dean of students.
Rea, who asserted yesterday that
with the' exception of two auto ac-
cidents there was virtually no dis-
order in connection with thmaffair,
said, "While we "granted more re-
quests for driving permits than
have ever before been given out
for the Hop, c'onditions were inI
every respect of the best. There was
very little drinking at the dance and
University policemen reported very
few violations of driving regula-
tions."
That cars brought to Ann Arbor
for storage, as well as those in use
by students exempt from, the ban,
must be registered under 1932 li-
cense numbers with the University
was stressed by Rea in outlining
important points of the regulation.
Those exempt from the ban are
students holding faculty positions
of teaching assistant or the equiva-
lent, those carrying 10 hours work
or less, and those 28 years of age
or older.

past.1

The government,' however, has
only to call us, he added.
The military party )n Japan is
responsible for the aggression in
Manchuria, in the opinion of Suez.
This is due to the 'fact that the
army and navy can act without the
consent of the government. The
other Japanese are friendly to-
wards the Chinese, he asserted.
"Japan must have raw materials
to fight any great war," continuedE
Suez.' "She is therefore trying to
get control of Manchuria because
that territory is rich in iron, coal,
alumin3um,rmagnesiumi, and other
war materials.
"Japan does not need Manchuria
as much as China does to take care'
of over-population. In the last 10
years the Japanese population in
Manchuria has increased only 50,-
000, while the Chinese population
has increased over 10,000,000.

STUDENT BOOK EXCHANGE IN LANE'a
HALL PROVES TO BE SUCCESSFUL,

"Swell!" was the ejaculation
most frequently heard by the secre-
taries in Lane hall yesterday morn-'
iing and afternoon as hundreds of
satisfied patrons completed tran-
sactions with the student book ex-
change which is being operated
there under the auspices of the So-
cialist club.
This is the second semester which
has seen the Socialist club sponsor-
ing a cooperative book buying and

operated, any student may place as
many books as he desires with the
Socialist clubs' representatives in
Lane hall, having marked each
with what he considers to be a fair
price. A receipt will be given him,
which will be redeemed either by
the sum he has asked or the return
of the book. A ten per cent charge
will be made by the agency in or-
der to meet the expenses of opera-
tion.'
