REFUSE TO PREDICT ACTfON
lHR. y. x or REVENUE BUREAU

WASHrNGTON; April 1s.-In the alb
sence OF Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper, officials of the revenue
bureau tonight would not predict what
action might be taken in the case OF
the New York brewers who today
started distributing beer containing
2S-4 per cent alcohol claiming il to
be Misunderstanding under existing laws
and regula tions.~ The only action Of
the bureau SO far has been TO refuse to
issue stamps 10 brewers desiring TO
make beer with this alcoholic content
since regulations place at one-half of
l per cent the maximum alcoholic con-
tent for NOTWITHSTANDING beverages Of
any kind.
The bureau has refused to sell
stamps. inferentially holding that beer
containing 23-4 per cent alcohol was
intoxicating. but Commissioner Roper
has not ruled specifically on this point
since the question was raised several
weeks ago by the brewers. Before de-
Gliding finally he has awaited an
oDinion by Attorney General Palmer
This opinion has not yet been prepared.
