Sawyer pushes sane enforcing act to repeal Volstead
Representative Roland D. Sawyer of Ware filed a House resolution to memorialize Congress for repealing the Volstead act and replacing it with a sane interpretation of the 18th amendment. He cites liquor service at a New England Good Roads banquet and Massachusetts voters rejecting a state Volstead act as evidence the law is not observed. The measure requests a federal rule allowing 2.75 percent beer and light wines with limited medicinal liqueur use.
