Committee Divides On Wartime Prohibition Aid For Wine
In Washington on the eve of Senate Agriculture hearings on the Jones wartime prohibition amendment to the Emergency Food act the committee reached two key points California wine interests would be protected at least through the current grape crop and the panel split 7 to 4 in favor of some wartime prohibition principle. Representative Kahn argued that cutting off wine production would ruin thousands of California vine growers. Senator Phelan presented data on bank exposures if vines faltered. William Jeng Bryan urged framing the amendment to preserve wine business viability for California producers. The 7 to 4 vote concerned wartime prohibition in principle, not a specific life amendment.
