All but Wine Prohibited in Senate Bill
Washington June 27 The Senate Agriculture Committee redrafted the House measure expanding government powers and adding a bone dry prohibition to stop manufacturing intoxicating beverages during the war. The President would be allowed to permit only wine making and to command existing distilled spirits. The plan would prohibit distilled spirits malt and fermented liquors but may allow wine, with a floor fight over beer manufacture. The amended bill extends control to iron steel copper and more with authority to operate factories packing houses oil wells and mines and commandeer supplies for the army and navy. The committee aims to substitute the Chamberlain draft for final action, but debates over prohibition and broader powers loom long and likely beyond July 1.
