Celler Urges
Hgh-BaM
Bottled

A new idea in prohibition
change -" bottled highballs"-
was suggested today by Repre-
sentative Celler CD of New
York.
A whisky highball, contain
ing ginger ale and other in
gradients and bottled for Serv-
ing, would average IL to IA per
cent alcohol, he said.
Since the highball rarely ex-
ceeds the strength of light wine,
he believes the Supreme Court
would hold that it does not
ira nscend the Eighteenth
Amendment.

Vance, and plain-Spoken, is round
ing out % years of service in the
House. He is now floor leader.
HeN believes that he is in line be.
cause, of this position and as a
candidate of the North.

Asked what he thought the
revenue obtained from the sale
of beer would amount to, Speaker
Garner said he has assurances
that in three months from the
first day of the sale the Treasury
will be enriched by between $780,
100000 and 100000, 900.
Outlines Procedure
Asked whether he favored a
meeting of the House Ways and
Means Committee on the beer
question before the opening Of
Congress, Speaker Garner said:
"The proper way, in my mind,
to go about the question is to
have the Judiciary Committee
meet first and find out what
kind of beer will be legal. Then
the. Ways and Means Commit
tee should get together to as
certain how much revenue can
be obtained from the sale and
how it should be Sold"
