hibition laws of most of the states.
Hitherto the Bureau Of Internal Rev
enue has held fast to the policy OF
assessing taxes against fermented
liquors containing more than one-half
Of one per cent. alcohol, but actually
the regulations could not be applied
to elders and fruit juices, because OF
the technical language of the law, it
was said.
Strict enforcement of the regulation
will hold liable dealers in fruit juices
and elders in which the alcoholic con-
tent increases even while in storage.
The department does not intend, how
ever, to guage all beverages thus pro
duced, officials said, but a "watchful
eye" would be kept on these manufac-
turers and dealers. Natural fermen.
tation will offer no excuse for evasion
of the regulation, it was declared.
Employment Of a force of $500
watchmen to guard 100000 gallons
Of liquor held in government bonded
warehouses is planned by the Internal
Revenue Bureau to protect the liquor
against thefts,, which are occurring
daily, Prohibition Commissioner Kre-
mer told the House Appropriations
Committee. He asked that Congress
make 100000 available Immediately
for establishing the guard.
No plan for the final disposition OF
the liquor has been determined on by
the bureau, Mr.. Kremer told the COM
mittee, adding that the permissive
Withdrawals after constitutional pro.
hibition becomes effective would be so
few as not to pay the expense for
maintaining the guard. Congress, he
suggested, may be asked to solve the
problem of disposing Of the liquor and
committeeman suggested its concen.
tration in few places. Such plan
of concentration, Mr.. Kremer said, il
being considered by the bureau eff
cials.
