Volstead Says Changes
Made to Permit of
Enforcement.

Washington. June 2. - Chairman
Volstead,- of the house judiciary com.
mittee, in a report Thursday dealing
with his bill to supplement the Vol
stead act, declared it presented only
such essential legislation as was
deemed necessary in order to bring
about fair and honest enforcement
of national prohibition.
The report set forth that the chief
purpose of the bill was to prevent
the use of beer and wine as medicine,
which would be permitted under an
opinion of former Attorney General
Palmer.
The effect of that opinion" it add
ed, us to take from the commissioner
of internal revenue control of the per-
mits and prescriptions and lodge that
control in those who would profit by
their abuse. 1t is idle to argue now
whether that opinion is right or wrong,
as it is considered binding on the ad-
ministration until it is set aside by
the courts"
Declaring that evidence presented
to the committee showed overwhelm-
ingly that beer never had been recogniz-
ed as medicine. the report quoting the
attorney for the Anheuser Busch Co,
incorporated, to the effect that if beer
was permitted as medicine, sit
would be impossible to enforce the pro-
hibition law"
