PRONOUNCES PLATFORM Caraway Hastens To Washington, To Discuss Cannon Row With Colleagues MAY DECIDE ON CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS Unlikely To Take Drastic Action Against Bishop By PAUL R. MALLON (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, June 6-- Chairman Caraway of the Senate lobby committee was hastening back to Washington today to'face the impasse his committee has reached in the case of Bishop James Cannon, Jr. Meanwhile committee members here were gathering a connected story of the Methodist prelate's dramatic fight against, Alfred E.

Smith, the Democratic. Presidential nominee in 1028. The bold attitude which Cannon displayed yesterday when he walked out of the committee room refusing to testify about his campaign activities, will go unanswered by the committee until Caraway arrives to decide whether he wants to proceed against the Bishop lor contempt or take new tack In the investigation. Hlay Let Rest At present there seems little likelihood that the committee will seek to have Cannon cited for contempt or seek to trace nny further his campaign expenditures reportable under the corrupt practices act. Whether notice will be taken of the Bishop's nprecedente! defiance of a Senatorial committee will probably rest with Caraway, who has been at home in Arkansas.

But behind the sensational dcvel- oppents of the last Jew brought on by Camion's refusal to answer questions, the committee has developed an account of some of the things the bishop did.

5tc said the car probably would be destroyed COLUMBUS, June 6. (UP) -James M. Cox of Dayton, newspaper publisher, former Governor and Democratic nominee for President In 1920, was on record todsy as favoring repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Addressing a statewide Democratic "victory dinner" hern last night, at which he presided as toastmaster. Cox made clear his position, saying he "unhesitatingly favored repeal." More than 1800 Democrats, among them' the party's 1930 standard bearer, attended the dinner which also was marked by speeches by Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic National Executive committee; former Congressman Martin L.

Davey, of Kent; former Senator Atlee Pomerene, and George W. White of Marietta, this year's candidate for governor. Not Publicly Popular "Lacking In sustained public opinion, prohibition cannot be enforced, graft and violence seep In, and until we find a way out. the country will continue in moral stagnation," Cox declared. "The citizens who, by uncounted thousands, are now proclaiming prohibition a failure, are not seeking alcoholic stimulant, 1 for themselves or their friends.

They simply oppose an institution which they regard as a peril to our well-being," he declared. "The people will never change the existing order by bringing back the saloon, nor will private Interests ever again be permitted lo become selfishly allied on any side of this Issue. Never The Old Saloon "With this understanding, I unhesitatingly favor the repeal of the I8th Amendment. As between the old saloon order with Its brewery- controlled politico and the present set-up, I would prefer the latter; but we all prefer not being compelled to choose between these two extremes. Both are impossible." Cox was given a tremendous ovation when he was introduced by Walter P.

Heer, Columbus, chairman of the meeting, an evidence of his strength in the Democratic party and of the sincerity of the boom launched to persuade him to become a candidate for Governor or U. B. Senator. The boom, however, was quickly punctured by the former governor, who definitely stated his intention to remain outside the political arena. flat Candidate "I shall not be a candidate for nny public office," he said.

"The suggestion of a return to executive duties Is unnecessary ind any idea of standing for the Senate is entirely out of line with my plans from the vantage ground of private life to alti the cause of liberal government." Cox's statement of his plans and his declaration for prohibition repeal completely overshadowed the address of Shouse, here from Washington as the principal speaker of the dinner. Shouse flayed the Republican National Administration for Its "record of poor Judgment. Indecision, Former Sheriff Dies In Cincinnati CINCINNATI, June 6-- Richard B.
