SENATOR CALDER SEES WAY TO

BEVERAGE IS NoN.lNToxicAT.
NC.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Efforts te
amend the tax revision bill so that
2.75 per cent beer may be sold as a
Misunderstanding beverage are TO be
made by Senator Calder. a member OF
the senate finance committee.
Calder's plan provides for the vir.
tNai amendment Of the Volstead act,
which prohibits the sale of beer of
2.75 per cent alcoholic volume, by in.
sertion In the revenue bill that such
beer Is Misunderstanding, and subject
t0'a. tax of IS per barrel
lt Is estimated that the. provision
would yield an annual revenue of at
least $l00,000,OO0.
Although beer OF 2.75 por cent ol-
cohclic content Is held to be intoxicat
ing under the,rprohibition law, many
physicians have expressed the p" ,ses
sional opinion that per cent alcohol
is necessary to give fkick."
Tha prescribing of beer or this
strength by physicians Is authorized
under the decision rendered by AttOr-
neg General Palmer on March 3, but
regulations for its sale have been held
up by the bureau of internal revenue
pending action by congress on the
WflHs'Campbell anti-beer bill. which
was designed to close loopholes re-
vealed In the Volstead act by the Pal
meri decision.
The adoption of the Calder amend.
ment and Its incorporation In the bill
by both houses OF congress would
open the way for the sale of beverage
beer, regardless of the Palmer ruling,
the attitude OF the internal revenue
bureau or the action of congress on
the anttbeer bill.

Last week the Rev. Beetham adVcr-

morning and evening services his
church was crowded to capacity, many
having TO stand. Included in the au-
dienccs were students from the Uni

Newspaper advertising was the
means to get the people to church.

EARLY ACTION UNLIKELY.
There will be no Immediate action
by the Senate District Committee on

and SO far as the House Is concerned
the bill which already has been re-
ported Will not be called up for con-
alteration.
The Senate subcommittee. compris-

ably to the full committee, but the
latter viii hold extensive hearings
before sending the bill TO Congress.
4 At the meeting of the District COM

reported to the full committee, where

OPPOSITION DEVELOPS.
Opposition TO the bill. unless 1t is
amended so as to make the merger
conditional upon a merger between
the combined companies and the Cap
ital Traction company, Is strong In

opposition will be intensified as local
public opinion is sounded and an in
