DRY LAW Ruling

WASHINGTON, June Il. = DECLARING
that the dominant purpose of the fed
eral prohibition enforcement act was
to prevent the use of Intoxicating, lio-
uor as a beverage, the supreme court
held today that all, the provisions Of
the law are to be literally construed
to that end The decision, read by
JufAce Sanford, came in an appeal by
the Marking Product company OF
Western Pennsylvania. which insisted
that the law compelled the commits
sioner of internal revenue to issue it
a permit to handle denatured alcohol.
The commissioner refused to issue
the permit and the company appealed
to thd courts Asserting that con.
gress in carrying out the purpose of
the enforcement act had not intended
that the commissioner should perform
the merely perfunctory duty of grant
ing permit to any and every appIt
cant without reference to his qualifi
cation and fitness. Justice Sanford
said the commissioner had the right
