MILLION SICK
May GET BEER
If PLAN WINS
Moist Senators Decide TO
Stage Filibuster to Kill
Anti-Beer Bill.
WET REGULATIONS PEND
Treasury Department Rules
Authorizing Medical Beer
Are Considered.

WASHINGTON, oct 1.-Chances
Of the million sick in the country
for receiving medical beer, were
given another boost Saturday by the
announcement of wet senators
here that they would talk the present
anti-beer bill to death by resorting
TO a flibuster.
If the bill is to be held up, the
treasury department may go ahead
and issue regulations which are
based on a ruling of former Atty.
Gen. Palmer that medical beer is
legal.
The issuance of the regulations
has been fought hard by the dry
senator's who assert that they will
let loose a flood Of beer upon the
country.
The measure may be revived next
session but the vets are confident
it is dead as far as this session is
concerned
The anti-beer bill was designed to
prevent the treasury department
from issuing regulations legalizing
sale of beer for medicinal pur-
poses"
The vets based their decision
to delay the bill on the assumption
that the "dTys' Will not accept the
Stanley anti-search and seizure
amendment, which has been the
bone of contention for many weeks,
They declared that they will keep
country until the people realize that
their inalienable constitutional
rights are at stake"
Radical "drys" are equally deter
mined not TO accept the Stanley
amendment, which they declare
would aid the bootleggers.
