judiciary subcommittee to report

the constitution which would say:
.'The eighteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United
States Is hereby repealed"

peal, said he favored this un-
adorned amendment because the
states automatically would repos-

was stricken from the constitu-
ton. He believed other lengthy
repeal amendments specifically
guaranteeing the rights of states
to ban liquor were unnecessary

argument for repeal thusly:
