JOHNBARLEYCORNM MADE FAREWELL BOW TO AMERICAN PUBLIC LAST MIDNIGHT
No Attempt Will Be Made by Department of Justice Agents to Stop Sale of 23-4 Per Cent Beer for Present
By Associated Press

Washington, June 30.-As war time prohibition took ef- feet tonight the department of justice announced that its agents throughout the country would not attempt tomorrow to. stop the sale of ? 3-4 per cent beer.
 This eleventh hour development. flat reversal of an earlier ruling today by the department was due to the uncer- tainty as to how the federal district court of New York might rule on pending claim by brewers that beer containing that much alcohol was not intoxicating.
 But while this uncertainty existed as to beer of lighter alcoholic percentage than that sold generally heretofore. full warning was given that with respect to whisky and all beverages as to whose in- toxicating powers there was no doubt. every governmental agency would be set to work in a determined effort to pre- vent their manufacture and sale. How long the sale of 2& per cent beer might continue would depend ordinarily upon the speed of the courts. but Con gress meanwhile will step to the front in an effort to complete the effectiveness of the wartime law

"As some contend there may be persons who have been so tolerant of alcohol that they cannot get drunk on beer contain ing two and three-duarters per cent or alcohol by weight, which, by the way contains only one-half of one per cent of alcohol less than the ordinary beer But we are not ,egislating for special class.

TRY FOR ENFORCEMENT

Exactly what they have refused here to fore to do, prohibition members of the House now will attempt passage oc straight, clear cut bill for enforcement of wartime prohibition.
 When word spread tonight that the At torney General by his ruling. had per mitted beer saloons and breweries to re- main iu operation, members of the judi ciary committee counted noses to find sufficient number ready to go to the front to demand separation of the en- forcement measures so as to get through at once bill that would stop the sale of all beer containing more than one half of 1 per cent alcohol.
 Congressional leaders, 1t was said re- fused to abandon plans for recess be- ginning probably tomorrow, in order to put the bill through as an emergency measure, and the whole question of pro
 hibition will be held up until next Mon- day at the earliest.
 There were indications tonight that a hard fight would be made in behalf of an amendment to be offered by Repre- sentative fgoe, democrat of Missouri. which would permit the President to set aside the wartime act insofar as 1t re- lates to light wines and beers. While the Attorney Generals staff was wrestling wish the questions of intoxi- eating aFd n-ihtoxicating beer. the ju- dietary eomnittek sent to the House it's report in which tthe bold assertion was | made that anything over one-half of 1 per cent alcohol was intoxicating within 1 the purview of the general law, and that I Congress. and not the court, should fix the alcoholic percentage of all beverages
