Reed Borah Clash Doubtful Fate of Prohibition Debate
United Press Transcontinental dispatch describes a packed Senate debate between Reed of Missouri and Borah of Idaho over the Jones bill and prohibition. Reed brands prohibition a legislative crime and favors repealing the 18th Amendment. Borah argues national prohibition is the best system and predicts no repeal in his lifetime. Both old rivals appealed for public support as a final public clash before Reed retires and Borah remains influential. The vote on the Jones bill is deferred as senators seek consensus.
