gotten in many parts Of the country,

ment by the department Of justice that
pending decisions in present litiga-
ton to determine whether brew con-
tanning 2 3-4 per cent of alcohol is IN
toxicating, no action would be taken
toward stopping the sale of beer con-
tanning no more than that amount or
alcohol
Thus pending court decisions or
action by congress defining intoxicat-
ing beverages, sale of the lighter

which there are no regulatory laws
until Jan. 16 when constitutional pro-
hibition becomes effective. Other
