Repeal vote fails as Garner gears to beer plan
In the short session of Congress Speaker Garner moves to repeal prohibition. The House votes 272 for repeal and 144 against. 108 Republicans back Bachmann. The effort fails by six votes. Democratic leaders shift to legalizing beer with Collier's bill taxing beer and wine and requiring permits. Roosevelt looms, with Glass resolution possible in the Senate. Hoover urges budget cuts and banking reform while relations with Europe focus on debt and disarmament.
