WASHINGTON, July when war

agents throughout the country would
not attempt to stop the sale of ~ per
cent beer, or other beverages with this
proportion OF alcohol.
This eleventh hour developments
flat reversal of an earlier ruling
by the department-was due to the
uncertainty as to how the federal dis
trict court Of New York might rule on
a pending claim by brewers that beer
containing that much alcohol was not
Intoxicating.
But while this uncertainty existed
as to beer of lighter alcoholic percent
age than that sold generally hereto
fore, full warning was given that with
respect to whisky and all beverages as
to whose intoxicating powers there
was no doubt, every governmental
agency would be set to work in
determined effort to prevent their
manufacture and sale.
How long the sale of ~ percent
beer might continue will depend ordi-
narily upon the speed of the courts,
but congress meanwhile will step to
