2.75 Per CENT
Beer is URGED
Ex-U. S. Supervisor Calls 1t
Only Solution.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. IL. - Col.
James O. Waddell, who has resigned
as Federal supervisor of alcohol and
breweries, today declared 2.75 per
cent beer would solve prohibition
enforcement problems in the United
States.
while the prohibition bureau is
making good progress in enforcing
the law, with the exception of wort
"a malt which can be converted into
beer), the law cannot be enforced In
its present status" he said, in an in
terview here. From an enforcement
standpoint, the only possible solu-
ton for the impossible conditions is
2.75 per cent beer.
Prohibition is intended to prevent
drunkenness and one is a fanatic
who construes it otherwise"
The former supervisor said 2.75
per cent beer is not intoxicating.
He declared the provision Of the Vol
stead Act against beverages with
more than u of per cent alcoholic
content is primarily responsible for
unpopularity of the law.
''The dry law can be enforced with
the present Federal corps and the
Governments $13,000,0 900 annual ap-
preparation if 2.75 per cent beer is
legalized," he said.
