Prohibition Battle Moves to Senate Over 3.2 Beer Bill
The House passed the 3.2 per cent beer legalization bill and sent it to the Senate, while Democratic leaders plan to delay tax legislation. President Hoover is expected to veto any beer bill, delaying action until a new Congress. The measure envisions a $5 per barrel tax and $1,000 brewer tax, with state protections for dry areas and no federal sales regulation.
