DUFFY (Associated Press Staff Writer) -Signs of preparations to challenge and to defend constitutional prohibition in a mighty way multiply as the political campaigns whip to culmination. Politicians and organisations at con flict on the issue, so energetic today in state after state, look ahead to the turn when even more strenuous efforts must be exerted.

They watch what's going on as keenly as do the Republican and Democratic headquarters In Washington. ine imminence of a struggle has just been heralded by Senator Borah. Cam paigning in the Northwest for reelection of Senators Norris and Schall, prohibition advocates as is he, the Idahoan warned of an impending battle in Congress to re peal the eighteenth amendment. "Repeal or not?" seems to be becoming the pivotal point of dispute more than any other. Both parties remain divided on It with outstanding members of each at odds.

In Republican and Democratic ranks alike the agitation has run from absolute support of the national law to modifica tion for manufacture of light beer and wines, and on to taking the amendment from the costitution, letting the states deal with the problem. But this campaign has led to an opinion In political ranks that the differences (Tun to Page 2, CoL 5) G. O. P. Leader i KeouKes nerim Judge L.

Bankhead. Judge Reynolds declared that "this is like many other statements he makes from the stump, absolutely false." Judge Reynolds said in a signed article in The Union-Banner of Oct. 30, that he advocates the placing of a full state ticket in the field when the Republican convention met In Birmingham on Aug. 21. He went at length to review the record of Senator Heflin for the past 33 years and pointed out the various attacks made upon the Republican party.

The Chilton Jurist concludes his letter with the statement that on Nov. 4 he would make a cross mark under the Republican emblem as he has been doing for "the past 40 years." He also expresses the desire for all Republicans in Chilton County to Ao the same. Vote the Republican ticket straight, Is the plea of Judge Reynolds to the Republicans of Chilton County. the Democratic ticket straight, is the plea of every Democratic speaker who has addressed the voters of this section. Vote the straight Independent ticket, or you may not vote at all, is the cry of the Pollywog speakers, With this kind of campaign being waged In Chilton County there, is little prospect of the Democrats falling short of a plurality in this county on election day.

There is a normal Republican majority of about 500 in the county and with only a senatorial and county ticket the Republicans expect to elect their own and let the others "root for 'themselves." Boy And Parents Die As Auto Strikes Train Oct. 31. Three persons. Identified as Mr. and Mrs.

Of) Germany's great flying ship the DO-X which has carried aloft as many aa 169 persons but never has been away from sheltered Lake Constance, Is about ready to leave the nest In which it was hatched. Oh Sunday, If the weather is favorable, the world's largest flying boat will leave for Amsterdam on what, if all goes well, will be the first leg of a cruise to New Yorfci After Amsterdam the DO-X will go to England and then to Lisbon, whence the start will be made for the American me tropolis via the Azores and Bermuda. Dr. Maurice Dornier, in charge of the flight, said today that the earliest possible start from Lisbon would be Nov. 10, which prob ably would put the big airplane in New York two days later.

So in preparation for this great yen ture the DO-X was given another trial flight over Lake Constance today, principally to test the instruments and to show 25 newspapermen how the craft looks from the inside while cruising. It was in the air only an hour but that was enough to convince Commander Christiansen that all was in order. Tomorrow the one big thing to do is to give the DO-X a long drink, somehow storing Inside It some 20.000 liters of benzol 4,400 gallons). Be-yon that the officers and crew will be busy packing and arranging personal affairs, but otherwise will have little to do except wait for 8 a.m., Sunday, the hour tentatively set for the takeoff to Amsterdam. 500 Men Guard, Against Oil Well -1 OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct.

The letters were typewritten on stationery bearing the words "National Secret Service, Headquarters Southern Division.

They were signed H. Gray, chief of special agents, Southern division," and were postmarked Birmingham. Democratic headquarters tried in vain to locate Gray and failed to find his name in city or telephone directory. Circulation of the letter was ascribed to the foes of Democracy who have been attacking users of absentee ballots from other angles and in the open, The purport of the letter, which plain ly seeks to intimidate users of absentee ballots. Is peculiarly similar to that of a statement Horace Wilkinson, Heflln'i chief of staff, made to Judge David W.

Dr. Parkinson Is a hearty advocate of permitting married women to teach Some school boards do not permit teacher to remain a teacher in the system after she is married. The City Board of Education of Birmingham does not use married women teachers, but the County Board of Education of Jefferson County welcomes married teachers. When asked for his views on this subject Dr.

Parkinson said that the growing custom of employing married teachers would probably be a stabilizing Influence In the profession. He held that It wasn't right to reoulre a woman to spend a large sum of money i to gain an education that will enable her to make a living wage by teaching nd then "throw her overboard" because she marries, regardless of her experience and value to the system. There are about six times the number of women teachers in the state as there are men teachers he said. Surveys made In a few counties by the division showed that about one-fourth of the women teachers arc Var'g time.

L. Hill Cites Reconstruction As Good Reason To Beat Polly wogs Teaching in Alabama is a very un-stabllited according to facts compiled by Dr. B. L. Parkinson, director of the division of teacher certification and elementary education of the State Department of Education.

Many of the teachers use the teaching profession as a stepping stone to matrimony and the figures on tenure, or the time a teacher serves in one position, shows that 'there is a rapid turnover in the teaching staff each year. For example 38 per cent of all the teaclMst In Alabama are in their first year of tenure and 34 per cent are In their second year. Less than 10 per cent are occupying teaching positions for the third year this year. "This indicates that! the Job of the public school worker has not yet become eligible for the classification of a permanent social worker," Dr. Parkinson said.

"The reason for this probably is the low salary the teachers receive and the low standards set up for being Initiated Into the Conditions under which teachers work, too, are more or less strenuous.
