WOULD FORCE THE
 ISSUE OF BLANKS

Chicago, December 14-A suit in equity to restrain the district federal prohibit tion director, Ralph w. Stone. from re- fusing to issue prescription blanks for alcoholic liquors to physicians required by them instead of a limited number each month, was filed today in the United States district court by Dr. F. H. MuTdock, president of the American Protective Medical fraternity. It is al- legged that the Eighteenth amendment merely forbids the use of alcohol for bevexuge purposes and places no re- strictions on medical uses. It is also averred that the Volstead enforcement act does not limit physicians as to the number of blanks on which prescriptions for whisky and other alcoholic mixtures may be written.
 The first ruling in connection with all coholic prescriptions limited prescrtp- tions to 100 a month. but later Prohibition Director Kramer at Washington ordered that more might be issued if need for a greater supply could be shown
