NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The action
today Of Frank L. Polk, acting secre-
tary of state, formally proclaiming
ratification of the prohibition amend
ment to the federal constitution is not
yet binding, according to cOnteH-
ton contained in a statement issued
tonight by an executive committee
representing the Distillers' Associa-
ton of America at the close of two
day conference here.
OF the A states whose legislatures
have acted on the amendment, the
constitutions OF %, the distillers
claimed, contain a referendum proyi-
sion which expressly provides that no
action of the legislature becomes ef-
fective until 80 days after adjourn
ment. If during these 80 days or 6
per cent OF the voters petItlon for a
referendum, the action of the legisla-
ture must be submitted to the people.

OF these % states, the committee
added, the legislatures of IA are still
in session "and the 80 days in which
to petition for a referendum have not
begun to run The committee an
nounced that immediate steps would
be taken to have a referendum in
ably in Others"
Action in these IA states is not
final until the people have had op-
portunity to act, the ,distillers de-
clared. Considering only these states,
and deducting them from the A
whose legislatures have acted, the com
mittee said, showed that the ''drys
have completed only 29 states, OF
seven less than the three-fourths re
quired.
The IA states referred to are: Ar
kansas, California, Colorado, Idaho
Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska
Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Utah, Ore
gon and Washington.
People Must Ratify.
'',The people in these IA states
under their constitutional referendum
rights, are a part of the law-makine
body" declared the distillers' state
ment. Until the people have voted
upon the proposition, there has been
and can be no legislative action.
This referendum is a fundamental
right of the people. II is intended
that the people shall avail themselves
of this fundamental right and that
they shall vote upon the question
whether inherent state powers and
privileges and individual liberty shall
be destroyed"
