by-product grain alcohol. today pre-
scented memorial to Congress protest
ing against the passage of the Shep-
pard prohibition bill for the District in
it's present form. The company officials

The memorial showed that pure grain
yeast cannot be manufactured and
prof1tably sold in competition unless its
by-products can also be sold.
The memorial cited the fact that the
company pays from 100000 to $500. 900
annually to the government in inter
nal revenue taxes. though the grain
alcohol it produces is never sold to be
used as alcoholic beverages.
