(U.R) Problems of business depression challenged prohibition for attention Monday night as republican national convention platform makers began the private preliminary business of drafting party policies. Prohibition prevails as the outstanding, most discussed issue. But there are rumbles of farm relief, tariff, silver and allied economic battles to come. Administration forces in general are plugging for one of those well-known ringing declarations in behalf of the emergency business-aid legislation enacted this year. They would prefer that to any platform departure from traditional republican economics.

The platform contest is developing minus the leadership and strategy of many of the so-called political "big shots." Senators are conspicuously absent from the lobbies and private meeting places of convention leaders. Republican platforms for years have borne the senatorial imprint. With prohibition disposed of, the way will be open for friends of the CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO GLADEWATER SCHOOL BOND ISSUE VOTED GLADEWATER, June 13.

BUSKS AID HOOVER IS FOR tl Advised Will Run With Such A Plank In GOP Platform EXPECT PRESIDENT TO FIGHT REPEAL Executive Is For Letting Voters Say Whether Want Amendment (Copyright, 1932 By United Press) WASHINGTON, June 13 (UP) President Hoover had been converted to the idea of a plank In the republicans platform resubmitting the question of the Eighteenth Amendment to a vote of the people, but he Is firmly opposed to a plank recommending the repeal of prohibition, it was learned Monday night. The United Press was advised on unimpeachable authority in administration circles that the President will run for re-election on a resubmission plank if one is adopted at Chicago. The President feels, however, it is stated, that the fight now rests between advocates of a repeal of the amendment and those favoring resubmission of the question.

In event that the group advocating a deflnte proposal for repeal gains' unexpected strength in the next 24 hours, the president may be expected to come out flatly in opposition to such a drastic move. He prefers to remain In the background, but as between a plank for resubmission of the question to the people and one definitely advocating repeal in the platform, he will fight for the former. The chief executive's attitude is represented as being that the republican party should come out for permitting the American people to vote on whether they wish the eighteenth' amendment retained in the constitution. He does not feel that the party should declare for repeal.
