Conflicting Senate Views on Beer Bill Report
Washington May 4 Sharply conflicting views on legalizing beer surfaced in the senate as its Manufacturers Committee reported adversely and urged against permitting four per cent brew. A seven member majority led by Senator Hatfield argued it would hinder enforcement and slow economic recovery, while a four member minority led by Senator Metcalf contended beer would promote temperance and provide revenue and jobs. The majority named Hatfield McNary Goldsborough Cutting Smith Sheppard Costigan. The minority included Metcalf Barbour Bulkley and La Follette. There is no reason for a change in the law that would satisfy opponents or supporters of the eighteenth amendment and would add to enforcement difficulties and divert purchasing power from essential to nonessential industries.
