in Judge Joseph McCarthy's
court Saturday. But when the

the earth beneath"

Illustration and its answer. for
all through the day Judge
Mccarthy dispensed justice and
mercy while the rain dripped
upon the court through q roof

RESUMPTION Of
DISTILLING
OFF
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH

International News service
The rapid decline in the medical
use of prewar whisky, legally
held in bonded warehouses, may
postpone the necessity of resuming
distilling for several years, 1t was
learned at the Treasury today.
Officials said that at the rate Of
witlairawal for the last few months
THERE is nearly 10 years supply on
hand, according to estimates of the
volume in warehouses.
1t had been thought probable
that arrangements to resume
whisky manufacture would he
started early next year by the Treas
ury, owing to the necessity Of having
a supply of five-year aged liquor
on hand. Before a final decision
is made the actual supply will be
regauged. Estimates fix the amount
at about 100000 gallons. although
thefts, leakage and evaporation
may have reduced it materially,
Bootleg for Medicine
Officials attributed the decline in
medicinal use of whisky to two
causes: The tendency toward an
inferior grade of liquor obtained on
prescription and the fact that
many are turning to the cheaper
bootleg whiskey for medical uses.
Reports showed that whisky
withdrawn from warehouses Of
ficially is frequently cut with
water before it is sold on prescrip-
ton and that many physicians are
surrendering the prescription privi.
lege because of the difficulty in
obtaining good quality liquors
Same Good Stuff Left
There are still. however, thousands
of gallons of whisky in the ware
houses of remarkable quality. All
liquors in bond are at least Is years
old. and there are some rare old
blends, purchased by individuals for
intended future use and with pedi.
gree of 100 years.
Few days go by that the Treas
ury does not receive letters asking
the pelease of some of this antique
beverage for personal consumption.
Withdrawals, however, are illegal
except by persons having permitseto
purchase liquor for the few legiti-
mate uses.
Several million barrels of the fin
est whisky on the market were pur-
chased by individual drinking peo-
pie when the country went dry and
placed in bond, on the assumption
that it could be withdrawn when de-
sired. Such of this old stock as has
not been sold to persons holding per-
mits is still evaporating and becom.
ing more potent and valuable. 1t
probably can't be duplicated any
where in the world.
