Likely to Stand Unchanged

Washington. D. G., Nov. 3d.

probably will stand unchanged for
the present at least. Representative
Nolstead, republican, Minnesota. its
author, said he had no intention Of
altering it in any way.
Prohibition enforcement officials,
Mr.. Volstead added, have not re-
ouested additional legislation or any
changes in the present law. Con-
gress, however, may act during the
coming session. he said, on the bill
introduced at the last session by
REPRESENTATIVE Green of Iowa, pro-
viding for the concentration in fewer
warehouses of stocks of bonded
liquor for the purpose Of insuring
more rigid supervision.
