Right Of American Vessels To Serve Liquor May Be Attacked In Congress
Washington April 12 The question of the right of American vessels to dispense liquor at sea is likely to be pressed in the new congress during a special session. The Leviathan decision to abandon dry policy prompts debate among wet and dry groups. Officials note that the ship would be dry on eastward trips and wet on return trips, with liquor allowed only as medicinal stock under federal permits within the three mile limit. Prohibition authorities say the Leviathan cannot legally possess liquor for such trips and will act, as prescriptions and permits govern sales.
