By the Associated Press
DALLAS, Tex. April 21.-Recom-
mendation that the Government pur-
chase all medicinal whicky in tho
country and dispense it through Fed
chase all medicinal whisky in the
event the United States Supreme Court
holds unconstitutional the present laws
governing liquor prescriptions, was
made by the house of delegates of the
American Medical Association here
yesterday.
A case brought by Samuel Lambert
of New York, challenging the author
ity OF Congress to limit the amount or
whisky a physician may prescribe, is
now before the Supreme Court. Should
the court sustain Lambert, regulations
covering medicinal liquor would be
within the discretionary power of the
of internal revenue, the
physicians maintain.
Would Assure Pruity.
Under the proposals approved by
the physicians, a pharmacy or otner
place where liquor may be lawfully
dispensed under the State law could be
designated as a Government subdepot
The Government would be required to
see to the purity of all liquor dis
penSeu. .a
Other regulations proposed provide
that when a physician prescr1bes more
than one pint of liquor in 80 days ne
shall accompany the prescription with
a certificate that the excess is a medl-
cal necessity, copy of the certihcate
To be mailed to the nearest prohlDl-
ton administrator; that the person
buying prescription liquor shall certify
that it is to be used only for mediclna!
purposes: that the allowance OF
liquors to physicians for emergency
use be reduced so as to not exceed
two quarts annually, not more than
one pint to be purchased at a time
and that the amount OF alcohoi 1or
other than internal uses be reduced
to not more than three gallons yearly
unless a physician produces evidence
that the nature of his practice re
quires more.
Approved by Andrews.
The board announced that the pro
posed regulation providing physi-
clans certificate when more than one
pint is prescribed in 30 days had oeen
officially approved by Gen l.. [.
Andrews, in charge of prohibition en-
forcement.
A plea for more publicity for medi-
cal science was made tonight by DR..
Wendell C. Phillips of New York In
his inaugural address as president of
