Wartime alcohol ban bill advocated by Senate leaders
A draft proposal backed by Senator Shepard Democrat of Texas and Senator Jones Republican of Washington seeks to enforce wartime alcohol prohibitions. It would levy a 1 percent tax on wine and other spirits and impose penalties, with enforcement funded for the 1959 fiscal year. The measure, supported by Gov. Phelan of California, targets transport and sale via public conveyances and aims to repeal wartime bans on wines and beer.
