NEW YORK WORLD TELEGRAM, December 5, 1932
* Repeal of U.S. prohibition fails
* 18th Amendment continues
* John Nance Garner
The front page has a nice banner headline: "REPEAL LOSES BY ONLY 7 VOTES" with subheads that include: "GARNER'S MEASURE DEFEATED BY BOLT OF SOUTHERN DRYS" and more. (see) Ironically the repeal of prohibition would be ratified exactly one year later on December 5, 1933.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 38 pages, a little margin wear, generally nice.
