Senate rewrites food bill give Wilson power on dry policy
Washington June 26 The administration food control bill passed by the House was rewritten by a Senate agriculture sub committee to place decision making on prohibition in wartime with the President. The measure would prohibit manufacturing intoxicating beverages and empower the president to commandeer distilled spirits. It also allows limited use of perishables for malting and fermentation to produce alcohol. The plan includes a 20 day proviso to allow the president to decide on beer wine and light beverages, with possible payment to distillers for existing spirits.
