 BEER, WINES

Washington, July Five mem bers of the house judiciary committee in minority report on the prohibi- tion enforcement bill, made public tonght, declared congress should enforce the wartime prohibition act or at least lift the ban insofar as it relates to the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer.
 Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee announced that he had asked for rule to make the general enforcement bill in order for imme- diate consideration with a view to calling it up tomorrow in the house. There was no assurance, however, that debate would begi nat once, and the general view was that considera- tion would go until Thursday.
 MT. Volstead said that so far as he was aware there no intention of separating the measure so as to put before the house straight bill for enforcement of the wartime law.
 The minority report, signed by Representatives Igoe, Missouri; Steele, Pennsylvania; Gard, Ohio: democrats. and Dyer, Missouri, and Classon, Wisconsin, republicans, bas- ed it's objection to the enforcement bill reported by the committee upon three principal grounds. The power of congress to pass the bill was challenged because in defining in- toxicating liquors it went beyond the original act and Was, therefore, new legislation.
