In Harbor Grace Newfoundland on May 23 tests of the Handley Page overseas flying expedition wireless system were conducted under simulated distress conditions. The exercises come as attention shifts to radio gear amid the silence of high powered instruments attributed to Harry Hawker.

New York May 23 Uninterrupted production of war beer continues as the United States Brewers Association fights its claim that the beverage containing 2 3 4 percent alcohol is non intox icating. Federal Judge Mayer granted an injunction preventing government interference while the court rules on the matter.
The decision involves Jacob Ruppert Brewing Co suing District Attorney Caffey and Acting Collector McEliligott over a repeal test of the wartime prohibition act. Judge Hand’s line holds that postwar production and sale restrictions apply only to beer wine and similar intoxicants. The judge notes the President’s public signal that the national interest no longer requires a ban on beer and wine, urging courts to accept that guidance.
