Washington July 13 The Daugherty Justice Department hearings on whether liquor sales on American ships are legal may push ships toward a dry policy.

Public opinion and the Washington row over the George Washington ship name, Old American Rye Moonshine, and calls of hypocrisy intensify the debate. The outcome will affect subsidy discussions and policy on merchant ships.
