 Antis Are Busy
 Washington, Nov 28-(U. P) - The Anti Saloon Leagues defensive strategy against prohibition repeal and modification will be developed at a conference here beginning De- cember g, four days after congress convenes.
 Leading church and temperance groups have been invited to the sessions. Speaker Garner has pre- dicted that the house will have act ed on Q repeal resolution by the time the prohibitionists convene.
 The stand of every member of congress is to be reported to Gen eral Superintendent F. Scott Me- Bride by state superintendents and other anti-saloon officials, the league said, and "a definite pro- gram of unified action with refer ence to congress in the 1884 cam- paign will be adopted"
 It is believed likely the dry lead CTS also will discuss possible court action to test the constitutionality of any modification act passed by congress before the 18th amend- ment is changed.
 Senator Walsh, democrat, Mass achusetts, announced he would in- troduce a new beer bill which he believes is impregnable against a possible supreme court ruling that beverages containing more than one-half of one per cent of alco- hol are intoxicating"
 The first sectionNof the bill pro- vides that none of the Volstead act penalties shall apply tO those who manufacture. transport or sell .32 per cent beer. Subsequent sections declare 3.2 per cent beer to be non-intexicating and provide for manufacture. The final section spe- cifies that if any part of the meas ure be found unconstitutional, thiS shall not affect the validity of the other sections.
 Hence" Walsh explained, "sec- ton one would still be in force and the federal authorities could not enforce any penalties against the manufacture, sale and transporta- tion of 3.2 per cent beer even if the supreme court held it was in- toxicating. In the first section, the. question of whether the beverage is intoxicating or nno-intoxicating does not arise and the government cannot proceed against those who manufacture, sell or transport beer containing 3.2 per cent alcohol"
 Committee Called
 Washington, November 28 - (UP) - Chairman Summers of the house judiciary committee today announced that in response to re- quests by the democratic leader ship" he had called a meeting of his committee for Friday. Decem- Der 2, to consider a prohibition repeal resolution.
 Sumner said the resolution to be considered was personally handed him today by Speaker of the House John N. Garner.
 The text of the proposed consti. tutional amendment, as made pub- lie by the judiciary chairman. pro- vides for outright repeal in ac- cordance with the democratic plat form pledges.
 It further provides for ratifica- tion of the amendment by specially elected state conventions and lim- it's the period of possible ratiiica- tion to seven years.
 Text of the repeal resolution as framed by the democratic leader ship and as, in all probability, il will be presented for early con- gressional action follows:
 Section - The eighteenth article of amendments is hereby repealed.
 Section 2 This article shall be imperative unless 1t shall have been ratified as an amendment u the constitution by conventions in lhree-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of it's submission to the states by the congress-"
 Thus, the resolution would carry into effect almost letter for lette-, the wording of the democratic re- peal plank written into the pla..
