Prohibition repeal vote fails as House backs beer debate
In a short session, the House debated repeal and rejected it by two thirds. Rep Carl Bachmann delivered 108 Republican votes, but 17 Democrats and 11 Republicans crossed, leaving the measure short. The administration shifted to beer legalization with a Collier bill proposing 2.75 percent beer and non intoxicating wines, taxing beer per barrel and wine per gallon, estimated at $800 million yearly. President Hoover urged economy and reorganizations. Roosevelt neared a new session while disarmament and economic plans continued in Congress.
