BATTLE OVER DRY

WASHINGTON. June 30.
The wet" and dry" battle in Congress
drew near a close today, with the defeat

dents will whisky.making must stop, but
beer and wine can stay n while, at least
this will be the Senate's decision and there
is every reason to believe that the House
will concur I'm IT,
Administration leaders hoped to bring all
amendments and the bill itself to vote
betore adjournment today but more con-
serVatiVe predictions were that the measure
would not be disposed OF until next week.
Although the Democratic "drys" have bowed
TO the Presidents wish to exempt beer and
wlne-making from the prohibition provi-
sions, the Republican "drys" were still deter
mined to continue the fight today. This
obstacle, along with objections TO various
oIher phases OF the bill, probably will hold
UP vote for several days
So far as the Immediate effect ON com
sumption is concerned the country will

dry prohibition seemed almost GER

the fight if 1t would delay the much-needed
food control bill won many converts inn

the dry" leader.
However, the "wets" aren't out Of ,ba
woods yet, even if "bone-dry" pronilr,ion
has been dltched. The "drys" today made
II plain that they have agreed not to press
their fight because they do not wish TO do
anything that might jeopardize the sue

clared their determination Of renewing the
struggle whenever national interest per.
