FIGHT FOR BEER
COMPLICATED BY
SENATE LEADERS
Committee Adopts Gore
Amendment Instead of
Wilson's Plan
BY associated Press

Washington, July 2.-The Senate
contest over prohibition was compli-
Gated somewhat to-day when the ag-
riculture committee endorsed Sena-
tor Cores substitute stopping dis
tillation of beverages and giving the
President authority to suspend man
ufacture of beer and wines. The
administration compromise of SEN
ator Chamberlain was rejected by
the committee.
Despite the committees action ad-
ministfation leaders planned con-
test in the Senate to prevent giving
the President any power to stop pro-
duction of beer and wine and believ-
ed they would be successful, al
though if absolutely necessary, many
of them are willing to accept the
Gore plan.
Six to Five
The agriculture committee stood
six to five on the Gore substitute and
voted eight to four against he
Chamberlain amendment. The COM
mittee is composed largely of those
with prohibition leanings.
Senator Sheppard, of Texas, told
the committee the President would
not object to receiving authority re-
garding beer and wine. The state
ment was made upon authority of
Postmaster General Burleson. The
Gore substitute would give the Presi-
dent also power to fix the .alsoholic
content of the light beverages.
The general understanding in the
committee is that should Congress
give the President power to stop
brewing and wine making he does
not propose, for the present at least,
to exercise it.
