New Jersey Democrat pushes national referendum on prohibition
Mrs. Mary T. Norton introduces a resolution calling for a nationwide referendum on prohibition. If a majority votes against it, the 18th amendment would be repealed automatically. The move parallels Senate pressure for state referendums and follows War Department actions elevating prohibition violations to military offenses. The plan would have states hold referendums at the first general election after congressional approval, with fate decided by overall national vote.
