The sudden change by Dr. Ralph W. McDonald from an ardent “dry” into a wringing “wet’’ advocate of county liquor con trol, county liquor stores and county option with the revenue from the sale of liquor to be left in the counties, and his paramounting of the liquor question rather than the sales tax in the second campaign for the Demo cratic nomination for governor, is really much ado about nothing and merely another example of rainbow cha ing, according to many observers here. For it is the General Assembly and not the governor which enacts tiie laws and only the General As sembly can change the present State liquor laws and enact new ones, it is pointed out. So regardless of the fact that Dr. McDonald is now dripping “wet” and Clyde R.

London, June 18. —(AP) —Opposition niorr.i ers of the Hou?e of Commons shouted “Shame! Resign!” at Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden today when he announced Great Britain would lead a move for the lifting of League of Nations sanctions from Italy. From government benches there came a little loyal cheering, but the roars of “Shame” created turmoil in the House. Eden himself assumed must of the responsibility for the government’s about-face on the question of the sanctions applied in an effort to pre vent Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia. The storm of shouts burst out after Eden had announced: “His Majesty’s government, after mature consideration, on which I as foreign secretary thought it my duty to give, has come to the conclusion there is no longer any utility in con tinuing these measures as a means of pressure on Italy’’ Over the storm, Eden declared: “We have to admit that the purpose for which sanctions were imposed has not been realized.” He added he considered the situa tion in Ethiopia one “which nothing i but military action from outside the country could possibly reverse.” “If the League means to enforce an Ethiopian peace which the League can rightly approve, then the League must take action of the kind which must inevitably lead to war in the Mediterranean—and no man can say such a war can be confined to the Mediterranean.” MOB AS LYNCHING IS FOILED El Camp, Texas, June 18.—(AP) — A mob of about 300 persons, balked in an attempt to lynch nine Negroes, gave up a search for their quarry to day to return here and burn the case where a white officer was slain while trying to quiet a bonus celebration. Whereabouts of the nine Negroes, five men and four women, was kept secret during the night as they were whisked from jail to jail. The mob, armed with sawed-off shotguns, and including some women, stormed the jails at Wharton and Bay City, only the intended victims gone.

Hoey in his campaign for the Demo cratic gubernatorial nomination, ask ed again today if Dr. Ralph W. Mc- Donald “will stand on the Democratic platform.” Last night McDonald, opposing Hoey for the nomination, answered the question already put by Olive with the statement: “I have always stood on the Demo cratic party’s platform.” Olive charged today that McDonld “tried to wriggle out of the situation.” The Hoey manager termed McDon ald’s statement a “half answer to my question,” and said “the squirming professor re-wrote the platform to suit his own absurd interpretation, and th*n said he stood o n ‘that plat form,’ but I want to know how he stands on the platform the convention wrote.” Olive cited the party’s platform de claration is could not pledge com plete elimination of the sales tax as it pledged practicable participation in (Continued on Page FiveJ HENDERSON, N.

Congressional action on the long fought measures, carrying $1,425,000,- 000 for relief, was completed when the Senate agreed to elimination of its amendment for reviving the Florida ship canal. The balance of the conference re port on the big appropriation bill was approved by the Senate with little de bate.

The Senate quickly concurred in the House’s refusal to accept an amend ment for reviving the canal project.
