DRINKS MADE

House Committee Consider
Striking Out Provision
Prohibiting Recipes.
BY United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Vast
stores Of distilled liquors-estimated
at 100000 gauons-may become a
white elephant" on the hands Of
its owners, if present plans for pro-
hibition enforcement are carried
through.
"Drys" today said their plans do
not include any measures Tor dis
posal of the liquor and "wets" de-
clare they have little hope of muster
ing enough strength to pass provi-
sions to allow owners 70 dispose of 1t
prohtably.
Prescription Policy.
The only provision for disposal dry
leaders will agree to, according 70
Chairman Volstead, of the house
judiciary committee, is to allow ply
sicians to prescribe not more than
one pint every 10 days for persons
seriously i'll.
Rep. Igoe, Missouri, who has been
fighting prohibition, today said he
had little hope OF getting legislation
TO allow export of the liquor.
May Eliminate Provision.
Efforts will be made in the house
committee today 10 strike out the
provision Of the Anti-Saloon league
that il is a crime TO have any recipe
in ones possession for making in
toxicating liquor.
This would mean the elimination Of
all the pamphlets now being publish
ed advising how TO make all kinds
of drinks in the home.
The plan is ridiculous" said
Igoe. because it is almost impossible
TO enforce. Housewives would have
TO go through cook books and cut
out and destroy all the beer and
wine recipes as well as looking
through all their old books to see
if liquor-making advice is hidden
anywhere"
Vote OH Gard Plan.
The judiciary committee also to-
day will vote on Rep. Cards plan
TO give the president specific power
10 set aside the provisions of the en-
forcement that affect war time pro-
hibition, If he believes the emergency
for which the act was passed, is

Drys on the committee are solid
against any move that looks toward
repeal of the war time act. as is re-
fiected by their recent vote in the
committee of 10 TO against a re-
