CONTROVERSY HEATED

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The sale
of liquor on United States Shipping
Board vessels at sea will continue
until the Supreme Court has rendered
a decision holding such sale illegal.
This was the staten nt made today
by A. d. Lasker, chairman OF the
Shipping Board.
Department of Justice officials de-
clined to make any comment on the
situation which arose yesterday when
August Busch, president of the Ann
heuser-Busch Company of st. Louis
wrote to President Harding declar-
irg the United States was the big
gest bootlcgger" on account OF the
Shipping Board vessels selling liquor
I1asker Immediately replied, saying
that Shipping Board vessels would
continue to sell liquor aboard when
outside of the three-mile limit as the
Volstead act and the eighteenth
amendment was not recognized I'M
der the conditions.
Busch last night published a sec
ond letter alleging Lasker misunder-
stood and therefore 'assailed the mo-
tive of the first letter.
