Britten backs beer bill after Hoover conference
Representative Britten says President Hoover likely would not veto a beer bill and outlines a plan to modify the Volstead act. He proposes a 3 to 4 cent per pint tax aimed to raise about 35 million dollars monthly and to permit beer sale in dry or wet states with safeguards. He asks the wet bloc to meet before Congress reconvenes on December 5.
