Beer and wine exemption defeated in Senate vote
Washington D C June 138 A Senate vote of 55 to 11 defeated an effort to exempt beer and wine from the war time prohibition law. The move by Senator Phelan to add a rider to the agricultural appropriation bill was tabled as the chamber signaled opposition to allowing beers and wines under wartime ban. The House Judiciary Committee plans a Saturday vote on an Ohio Democrat amendment to suspend the ban, while favoring enforcement by the Internal Revenue Commissioner rather than a special prohibition commissioner.
