Beer and Wines Sold With No Interference Under War Prohibition
Washington reports the department of justice will not interfere with sale of light wines and beer containing up to 2 percent alcohol. Instructions were sent to district attorneys in wet areas to abide by the New York test case decision. Laws enforcing war time and constitutional prohibition were favorably reported, defining intoxicating as beverages over 0.5 percent alcohol. Debate continues with actions tied to demobilization and constitutional prohibition, while a separate measure seeks to bar whisky and related liquors during the transition period. The Supreme Court decision is not expected before October.
