TWo Steps Needed
To Repeal La.U

CHICAGO, Dec. 8. U.P) To be
rid of the 18th Amendment, two
legal steps are necessary, according
to Or. Max Henius. president of the
Wall -Henius institute.
First, the Volstead Act must be
amended to change the alchohol
limit from Y per cent by volume
to per cent by weight, he said.
Second, outright repeal of the
amendment.
The first can be done, he sale
merely by a majority vote as it
does not otherwise alter the act.
The second while it would auto
matically invalidate the act,
would take a much longer time,
he said. 1t must originate in Con-
gress by a thirds vote and be
ratified by SO voting states either
