PROHIBITION
ENFORCEMENT
ACT UPHELD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5A--The prohibit
uon enforcement act, defining as in
toXicating any beverage containing one
halt OF one per cent or more OF alcohol
was declared Constitutional today by
the supreme court in an opinion on
which the court divided, to 4. Pro-
ceed'ngs brought by Jacob RUPERT, Of
New York, and New Orleans and Balti-
more brewers to enjoin the government
from prohibiting the sale Of 2.75 per
cent beer We're ordered dismissed
Ruppert's case was brought under the
wartime act. He alleged that 2.75 per
cent beer was nonintoxicating but that
the Nolstead act by limiting the alco-
holic content prohibited the sale Of beer
manufactured under regulations pre-
sscrlbed under the Lever food control act
by President Wilson
In the Baltimore and New Orleans
cases the brewers contended that the
manufacture of malt or vinous liquor.
whether called beer or not, was not
Illegal unless the liquor was intovicat-
ing This contention. however, was de-
MED by the government, which argued
that beer was prohibited without regard
to its intoxicating qualities provided it
contained one-half Of one per cent or
more of alcohol
Associate Justice Brandeis, who rem
dered the opinion of the court. said the
right of congress to SUPPRESS the LIQUOR
traffic was not an implied power, but
2 power expressly granted. Associate
Justices Day, Clark. Van Devanter and
McReynolds dissented
Under the war emergency congress-
has a right to stop immediately the sale
of Intoxicating liquor. the court held.
Justice McReynolds In dissenting
opinion said that the eighteenth amend
ment had not yet come into effect and
that the federal government had no
general power to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale Of liquor Justice Nc
Reynolds took the position that the
war emergency, under which national
prohibition was made effective had
passed.

REDS PREPARE TO
FIGHT DEPORTATION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--Radicals ta-
ken in the government raids on the
communist and communist labor par
ties have all machinery set for fighting
desperately against deportation, 1t was
announced today at the department of
justice. Lawyers lhave been engaged
in practically every city where raids
were made and officials predicted they
would take advantage of every techni-
cality until their clinets actually were
aboard vessels bound for their native
land
In view of this information, Assistant
Attorney General Garvan gave instruc-
tions to speed the work of completing
the evidence with which he hopes to
make deportations certain.
Mr.. Garvan said that while the gov
eminent believed proof of membership
in either organization TO be sufficient
basis for deportation, there must be
considered the likelihood that many of
The persons held might attempt to show
they renounced their affiliations prior
TO the governments declaration that
the entire alien membership of the CONF
munist and communist labor parties
were deportable subjects.
Habeas corpus proceedings will be
employed in a majority of the cases,
Mr. Garvan believed
Privileges accorded the radicals un-
der present laws with respect to bail
complicates the departments work, Of
ficials said Persons held on such
charges as have been filed against those
taken into custody in these raids may
gain freedom on $1,000 bond. But the
two parties which the department is at :
tempting to disperse are known TO- have
'tslush fund.- Mr. Garyan declared,
and large amounts Of this have been
made available for legal defense and
bail.
Renorfs of more arrests dribbled into
the department today. These showed
that plans of the department to round
up the ringleaders of the two organlza
tions were continuing unabated, MI
Garvan said.
Nearly 5000 of those arrested have
been held for deportation proceedings
and because of the congestion now a.
Ellis Island all of them cannot be con
centrated there. At the bureau of i'm
migration it was said if army and navy
branches at the island were removed
there would be ample room to c6ncen.
trate all of the alien radicals who
might be deported. immigration Off
cials would not discuss reports tha
they would ask the war department fol
the use of either camps Mills or Up
ton, New York, as a concentration
camp. Congress- had before it today
the request of Attorney General Pal
mex that it take prompt action on 6
bill proposed by him several months
ago and designated to enable the gov
ernment to deal with citizens found t
be engaged in radical activities. There
is no federal law under which the!
can be dealt with.
Hundreds of citizens were taken il

these must be turned over to state au
