INTERESTED
IN VOLSTEAD LAW
Wine Growers Hoping for
Change Permitting
Strong Sherry.

By United Press
MADRID, June 5.-Spain's wine
producers are not being misled
about the possibility of the repeal
of the eighteenth amendment in the
United States.
But they hope that if the Vol
stead act ever is changed the alco-
holic content of wines will be made
high enough to permit expectation
of their greatest wine-sherry.
Sherry tests about II per cent
alcohol. While that may seem high
even to those who advocate light
wines and beers the Spanish wine
interests point out that it is rela-
lively low, for brandies and cognacs
test about 40 per cent, while whisky
tests about 60 per cent.
Should the United States permit
drinks with a content of 4 per cent
alcohol there would be little benefit
to Spain.
Spanish table wines test about II
per cent, and its so-called "gener-
GUS" wines are about II per cent.
There is no prospect of any con-
certed drive by Spanish liquor in
terests in lobbying for modification
of the Volstead act, or for obtain
ing business in case it should be
modified, but individually they are
following the American situation
V5ry closely.
All the big firms, of course, have
important branch Offices in Cuba,
which can serve as the source Of
supply to the United States-if oc-
casion should ever arise.

Pigg's body was taken into
