Shichester in new role for wet faction
In Montgomery Alabama the house adjourned at 1 p m to 2 30 p m reading clerk page 13. An amendment to prohibit all advertising including newspaper radio and magazine ads failed 28 to 27 after Speaker Robertson broke a 27 27 tie. A second amendment would split state stores profits 60 20 20 by state county and city. Representative John Chienesteh offered a modified state store liquor control bill to be passed or defeated before adjournment. Major fight centered on a statewide referendum versus local option. The bill would sell package whiskey at state stores and whiskey by the drink at hotels clubs and restaurants with beer and wine allowed only in counties under the state store system. Other counties would keep dry laws except near beer. The vote was to continue on page two.
