BEER FOR USE FEY CHRISTMAS
 TO BE FOUGHT
y Forces of the Nation Are Not Going to Let Them Get By With It
BY LYLE Q. WILSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov 10.--tUP)--Dry ienders to-day promised battle to defeat the wet drive for beer in the short session of congress. The forces concerned, acknowledged that tho jubllant wet slogan "Bcer by Christmas'' represents an ob- jcctive practically unobtainablc.
 But the new congress which meets next year is overwhelmingly wet as well as democratic. Tho dispute over beer is whether 1t shall be legaiized this winter or next year.
 Drys count on thcir phaianx of iame duck prohibitionists to block short session beer bills. The con- gross which meets next month was dry by large majorities in both houses on beer votes last session.
 House and senate democratic leaders, however, promise immedi- nte beer in conformity with the democratic platform pledge. Vets of both parties are eager to CO., operate to modify tho Volstead act at oncc. Hot the prospect is for bitter, protracted dispute. Among hitherto dry democrats. some of whom support the national wet platform reluctantly, there is doubt about tho alcoholic content which would be consistent with tho 18th amendment.
