HANCOCK Boon Journal Staff Writer COLUMBUS, Feb. 28-With the wets confident of victory, a showdown on prohibition repeal was scheduled for today in the house of the Ohio legislature. A vote on the Smolka resolution, providing for submitting the question of repealing the prohibition amendment to the state constitution to a referendum next November was on the program as the first order of business for the day, The resolution passed the senate last week. White Ends Opposition The wets base their hopes of success on the withdrawal of Gov. George White's opposition to a vote on the amendment and the action of congress in submitting repeal of national constitutional prohibition to the states.

Withdrawal of the governor's opposition came after the senate voted down his proposed amendment to make the result of the vote in the Buckeye state ineffective until after 36 states had ratified the national repealer.

"Right now I'm more interested in bread than in seeing liquor come back." Touched By Panhandler For Dime A panhandler walked up to the general just then and said: "Could you give me the price of a loaf of bread?" Butler fished out an old-fashioned pocketbook, the kind that opens with a snap, and handed the man a dime. It was suggested to the general that in view of the fact that he says a prayer before starting to make a speech he should offer one tonight to make sure he will receive pay for his lecture. "Oh, I don't always pray before making a speech. But I do pray when I'm in a tough spot. I always used to advise my soldiers to do that.

I've got a sort of backhanded religion, I guess," he said, grinning. Greeted At Station By Dally The general treats his radio experiences lightly. "Crooks can rob the country because they happen to be officials, and then a man is criticised because he swears a little over the radio," he said.

"Japan Is going along and taking what she needs in the way of materials to make war, is after oil and coking coal In Manchuria and around Jehol. she'll get It and then will run afoul of Russia and there'll be a hell of a war," said the general.

Conscript Capital To End War Declaring with a sly smile that he never had been classed as a diplomat, Butler said he was not pleased with present diplomacy and declared that the fighting men ought to know what they are fighting for and have something to say about it. "The only way to stop war Is to coacript capital. Capital sits at home and collects.
