CUNARD LINER
TO TEST RULING

WASHINGTON, Dot. ~ Omitted
Press) The drastic regulations of
the prohibition bureau enforcing the
Daugherty ruling that American
ships cannot carry liquor anywhere
and foreign ships cannot bring II
into the three-mile zone, will be
modified by Secretary OF the Treas
ury Mellon.
He announced today that he
would eliminate the prohibition bu-
reau provision calling for the seiz-
ure and forfeiture of American and
foreign ships that violate the rul-
ing.
As written and submitted TO Mel
lon, the regulations which will be
Issued early this afternoon, stated
that American ships carrying liquor
anywhere and foreign ships bring
ing Il within the three-mile limit
would be Subject 20 forfeiture"
Mellon on reading that provision
for the first time this morning de-
clared II would have 20 be changed
before the notice went out. He said
he did not know what penalty II any
would be substituted except that. the
liquor would be seized and not the
ships themselves.
The regulations 10 be issued today
will be supplemented later by more
detailed regulations IN which all
questions raised by enforcement Of
Attorney Generals recent ruling will
be worked out.
Today's notices will be sent 10 all
customs officers and through the
State Department viii go 20 all
American consuls and diplomatic
representatives abroad who may be
able to assist in enforcement"
Diplomatic agents will be instruct
ed TO give the notice widest possible
publicity abroad.
Mellon said today that foreign
ships sailing for the United States
on or before Oct. IA carrying liquor
Will be allowed 10 take It back to
their home port.
Regarding the wine ration served
on Italian and French ships. he said
the Daugherty ruling would make
such a wine mess Illegal within the
three miles limit. but added that the
question OF seizure OF wine carried
as part of the crews rations would
have TO be gone into more thoroug h-
~. He first said II might be con
strued as coming under medicinal
liquor but later reversed this opin-
ion.
The regulations TO be formulated
will define medicinal liquor that
may lawfully be carried. Mellon in
dicated. No attempt has yet been
made TO decide how much OF II IS
necessary for medicinal purposes
aboard ship.
The injunction suit instituted by
the Cunard line viii not delay en-
forcement OF the Daugherty ruling.
Mellon said. The ruling will be
made effective while the suit is
pending Just as though It had not
been fled.
