a joint resolution designed to post

Supporters of the resolution enter
tain faint hope that it can be rushed

ment.
Some members of congress, includ-
ing Representative Randall of Cali
fornia, prohibitionist, contended that
the resolution would not legally ex-
coed the effective date because the
bill including the Reed amendment

dent and its provisions could be
changed only by passage of law
amending it.
Others said that if it passed the
