WASHINGTON. Aug 2s.-Beer

treasury unless Congress after re-
cess fail TO enact the Willis-Camp-
bell anti-beer bill
In conference with Internal Rev
enue Commissioner Blair, Secretary
Mellon decided that the regulations
already drawn. which would permit
physicians to prescribe a case OF
beer at time with no limit on the
number OF prescriptions. should be
held up by the treasury pending de-
termination of the medical beer
question by Congress.
In reaching this decision II was
explained the treasury took the
attitude that issuance of the regula-
tons In the face OF what was re-
garded as certain hostile legisla-
tion would be to no purpose. especl-
ally as brewers have shown no de-
sire to have the beer rules promul-
gated or to begin operations before
Congress finally accepts or rejects
the anti-beer bill.

The main factor governing th'
treasury's decision to hold up thu

to be the lack Of applications from
brewers to permit them to manufac
