Judge Knox halts part of the Volstead Act on liquor prescriptions
A Federal Judge in New York ruled that the portion of the Volstead Act limiting doctors to prescribe liquor is invalid. The decision restrains prohibition authorities from interfering with Dr Samuel W Lamb, dean emeritus of Columbia's College of Physicians, and could affect the Harrison narcotics act prosecutions. The suit, filed last November by Dr Lambert, contends doctors may prescribe liquor beyond ten days' limit for certain patients.

The Supreme Court has not ruled on that provision, and officers say the ruling affects only the specific physician in New York, not the overall act. Legal officers question impact on the Harrison anti narcotic act.
