Senate seals bone dry war prohibition on distilled liquor
The Senate voted 45 to 37 to prohibit manufacture and importation of distilled beverages during the war and 65 to 12 to require the President to seize all bonded spirits at cost plus 10 percent. Estimates warned of a massive potential loss of revenues and a buyout of 200 to 300 million gallons. The move delays the broader food control and war tax bills and signals possible extended withdrawal of liquor from bonded warehouses.
