 introduced by Senator Phelan.
 Responding to questions by Sen
 ators Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and Simmons, of North Carolina. Senator Sheppard gave as his opinion that the prohibition amendment would not in- terfere with the manufacture of beer wine and whiskey for medicinal, sacramental or non beverage pur-
 poses, or for export.
 Senator Penrose insisted the sub stitute measure was "vanguely drawn"
 Senator Jones, of Washington, said he had prepared a speech in answer
 to contentious of Senator Phelan Ia %
 vorlng the use of intoxicants but
 would not deliver it in view of the
 agreement already reached regarding
 the regulation.

 promise, Senator Jones said he oe-
 lieved the president was wrong in
 asking the extension of time bu. pe-
 lieved it was the best solution now possible.
