President Roosevelt within a week will coordinate federal groups studying steps to be taken if Prohibition is repealed, in an effort to find a basis for new legislation. With 33 states recorded for repeal, it was at the White House that federal agencies were concentrating on what to do between repeal and the time the legislation can be enacted, and what legislation to propose.

It was emphasised on behalf of the president that a special session of congress never has been considered and there is no prospect of one. (Associated Pres by Wireless) JACKSONVILLE. Oct. 11. Florida Is the 33rd state to record its vote in favor of repeal of prohibition.

Returns from 878 of the state's 1,272 precincts in Tuesday's election gave 82,998 votes for repeal, 19,847 against. Star-Bulletin Bureau, Washington, Oct. 1L The federal government is moving in three directions in order to be prepared to deal with repeal of the 18th amendment if it comes this year. Attorney General Homer S. Cum-mings revealed this week that his department is making an intensive study of all prohibition laws to establish their legality if the 18th amendment Is removed from the constitution.

He said his department will "be thoroughly enlightened as to how to act in the interim before congress meets if repeal takes place early in December." The treasury department has ordered a study of liquor taxes, tentatively agreeing that a tax of $1.10 excise and $5 tariff on a gallon will apply on spirituous liquors. It now will decide whether this tax will bring In the necessary revenue to make up and more for the special taxes levied last session to pay for the public works program. Will Settle Cases The department of justice will act in the near future toward settling thousands of pending prohibition cases over the country, perhaps getting as many as possible out of the way before repeal. Cases will either be nolle prossed or vigorously prosecuted to a conclusion. As for the attorney general's study of the legality of pending laws, at tention is turned mainly to the Vol stead act, defining and prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquor, True, it would seem the act is voided with repeal of the 18th amendment, but an act of congress is a law, and there Rre two sides to the question.

One side says yes, the other contends the amendment only gave congress the right to legislate and that right has been exercised, hence the act must be repealed before liquor is legalized. As the Anti-Saloon league and other dry organizations are expected to fight to the last ditch against repeal, and to use every legal means to prevent the sale of liquor, the department must have its answers to the Volstead puzzle if a court test arises. Other than the Volstead law, the old Webb-Kenyqn act protecting the dry states against importations from wet states remains on the statute books. It is believed it will be found this will be effective at once and will remain so until changed by congress. Eight States Ready As for the situation in the various states, only eight have yet made provisions for handling the liquor traffic at once.

In other wet states legislation may be enacted and additions may be made to the list before December, but in most states the matter will probably lag until legislatures meet in regular session. Rhode Island, Connecticut, Arizona, Delaware, Indiana, Montana, Nevada and California apparently are ready to handle the traffic immediately upon repeal. With the exception of California, where saloons are prohibited, liquor will be sold at retail in about the same manner as beer. In the other States without prohibitory laws, the problem is believed one which may cause trouble. There is no statewide prohibition in Colorado, Illinois.

Louisiana, New York, New Jersey, Washington and Wisconsin. Commissions to study the problem have already been created in several of these. A confusing situation exists in Maryland, where local option exists, although the state never has legislated on prohibitory provisions. In Pennsylvania statutory repeal ceases on repeal of the 18th amendment, but the beer law prohibits the sale of beverages above 3.2 per cent. The remaining states all 'have either statutory or constitutional prohibition.

Action will be required by the legislatures or by the people to change these laws. ESCAPES INJURY Charles Paahao Kamanu.

JAPAN LEADER DEFENDS NAVY PACTSIGNING Wakatsuki First In Two Years To Speak In Favor of London Agreement (Associated by Wirele) NAOOYA, Japan, Oct. 11. For the first time in two years, an authoritative Japanese voice was raised today in defense of the London naval treaty. Baron Reijiro Wakatsuki, former premier and chief delegate to the London conference in 1930, declared In an address here that although the ratios are unsatisfactory, he is convinced that, acceptance of the treaty served the empire's real welfare. He warned that if the naval powers, meeting in 1S35, fail to agree it will mean the end of naval limitation and probably start a naval race between Japan and America.

"It would be almost impossible for Japan to win the race, because of America's great economic and industrial superiority," he said. "Such competition will not strengthen the empire's defenses." It's Up to Moscow TOKYO, Oct. 11. Japan has placed with the Soviet Union the decision of future diplomatic relations, a spokesman for the foreign office said today in commenting on the diplomatic crisis which resulted from circulation at Moscow of documents to describe a Japanese plot to seize the Chinese Eastern railway. "Whether diplomatic relations continue depends on the attitude of the Moscow government," the spokesman said.

Japan has branded the documents as "utter fabrications." The foreign office belittled the likelihood that the incident would rupture negotiations for the sale of the C. E. R. by the Soviet Union to Manchukuo. IN CIRCUIT COURT The case of Warren Tong, 34, of 101 N.
