PAPER TO BE TABLOID Statement Answers Oft- Quoted Rumor of Rift With Sec. Hull. NEW YORK.—(AP)—On their own initiative Vincent Astor and Raymond Moley emphatically de nied Monday any face-saving con nection in their coming journalis ‘tic adventure. 5 | They denied it in turn before ai ‘large assembly of reporters in Astor’s downtown office. ‘ “From reading the morning pa pers,” sald Astor, “one might be led to believe that Mr. Moley really resigned as Assistant Sec retary of State as the result of disagreement in the State depart ment following the London confer ence. That isn't true.” > l “There is no denying 'the fact that resigning as a result of a conflict is interesting,” said Mo ley, who is to be editor of Astor’'s forthcoming weekly political jour nal, “but it just isn’t so.” “For months we have been working over this thing,” said Astor. “If you look through the file you'll find a radio asking me to lunch to discuss this thing the day 1 returned from London,” said Moley. y Idea Not New “The idea began way back in March,” said Astor. ‘We even had our searchers looking for a daily paper and once we though we had‘ one—in Boston or Washington.” “I’'d ten times rather do this than hoid a public office,” said Moley. = “Anyway,” said Astor, ‘it indi cates to you that this is not any sudden concoction to find a place for Mr. Moley.” ~ Plans for the new publication, which is to be “a journal of edi torial and other opinion” are still nebulous, they said. It will carry a Washington date line. It will be tabloid size and illustrated. It will sell for 5 cents, or $2 a year, and be cut to $1 a year “as soon as our circylation reaches a million.” It will print feature articles, but no fiction. It will be “in no sense” a newspaper. Its only literary re views will be on books pertaining to politics. ACCEPTS RESIGNATION l By FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON' HYDE PARK, N. Y, —(&)—Ray mond Moley, intimate of President Roosevelt and recent storm center of the administration is going to edit a new national weekly to be ‘published by Vincent Astor, another friend and distant relative of the chief executive. The sudden retirement of the| Columbia university professor and close advisor of the Presdent was announced Sunday after a heart to heart talk between the two. The first break in the offical family of the President followed closely an almosi open rupture inl the State department between Secretary Hull and Moley, the assistant secretary. Mr. Roosevelt is very friendly to both Moley and Hull and all those envolved say everything ig all right, Certalnly there is no break in the friendship between the President and Moley who has been the key man of his group of advisers dur ing the last two years. “I need not tell you,” said Mr, Roosevelt in his letter accepting Moley’s resignation, “that I appre ciate and shall always remember your participation during these two yearg in the development of poli cies based on our common ideals. You have rendered a very definite 'service to your country; and your :depat;ture from an official position to undertake an editorship will give you an opportunity to carry on the task in an equally wide field.” | Moley was just as sincere in his Jetter of resignation which makes his retirement from office effective on September 7. : | “Wide, Useful Field” ~ Of the new Astor-leey publica tion, Astor, who was also at the{ summer White House Sunday said in a formal statement: ‘‘As we see] it, there is now, as surely never be fore, a wide and useful field for a free, impartial and vivid interpre tation each week of the momentous changes taking place in our Am-I ‘rerican life, There {s also the need‘ of a vehicle for the expression of ;those ideas and proposals that will tend to direct these forces nlong‘ planned and progressive channels.

By The Associated Press Anti-prohibitionists, having tuck ed Texas away in their food turned their attention Monday to the state of Washington,” which votes on repeal Tuesday. Texas, home of Senator Morris Sheppard, who is often called the “father of the 18th amendment,” voted by a majority of about 114,- 000 on Saturday to wipe the amendment from the Constitution. The Lone Star state was the 23rd in a row to approve repeal. If Washington follows the example the repeal drive will be two thirds of the way to its goal. J. C. Herbsman of Seattle, who heads the campaign of his state's' association for repeal of the 18th amendment, said, however, that| there was ‘“grave danger” of a prohibition victory in Washington unless repealists record a heavy vote. He charged that the legis lature, in requiring a referendum through each of 46 legislative dis tricts rather thqn for the state at large, failed to provide for an ex pression of the “will of the ma jority.” Prohibitienists praised the arrangemert as fair, Postmaster General James A. Farley reiterated Sunday night his prediction of early repeal. He said: “The vote in Texas justifies the prediction T have made repeated ly—that the Eighteenth amend ment will be repealed by Nov. 7.” Besides Washington, 14 other states have set definite dates for repeal referenda this year. They are: Sept. 5, Vermont; Sept. 11 Maine; Sept. 12, Colorado, Mary land and Minnesota; Sept. 1§ Idaho and New Mexico; Oct. 3, Virginia; Oct. 10, Florida; Nov. 7 North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylva nia, South Carolina and Utah, Some other states may vote this year, States which have voted to rati fy repeal are: Michigan, Wiscon (Continued on Page Seven) “We Cannot Afford to Fail,” Slegan ik Of NRA Volunteer Army As 1,500,000 Blanket U.
