District Court Asked to Prevent Repeal Proclamation
Washington December 4 The District of Columbia Supreme Court heard a request to bar acting Secretary Phillips from issuing the repeal proclamation as the federal liquor regulatory system nears final setup. William S. Chase, head of the International Reform Federation, argued that many ratifying state conventions acted without full constitutional deliberation. Phillips urged suit against states, noting repeal takes effect when the 26th state ratifies the 21st amendment, with temporary federal controls set to operate until permanent legislation is enacted.
