u. 5. SUPPLY OF
WHISKY WILL
Be PLENTIFUL
Industrial Alcohol Chief
Discounts Any Worry
Over Shortage.
HUGE STOCK IN STORE
Millions of Gallons of High
Purity Can Be ReCtified
to Meet Demand.
BY KENNETH WATSON
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-Ameri-
cans who are fearful that domestic
liquor stocks will be exhausted be-
fore distillers can produce to meet
the repeal demand expected to start
in December have no cause for
apprehension. according to Dr.
James M Doran, commissioner of
industrial alcohol.
so much of the whisky on hanc
is old and heavy that with proper
rectification the present supply will
be ample to meet demands until
new liquor can be manufactured,
DR.. Doran said today.
DR.. Doran said that approximate
ly 100000 gallons of liquor are
stored in government-contr
warehouses. Due to relaxing of
manufacturing restrictions through
action by congress in removing pre-
scription restrictions, the supply is
is expected to exceed 10000, 900 gall
Ions by Jan. /.
Large Supply Can Be Made
AT least 1000 900 gallons of the
whisky is so pure that but from 10
TO Is per cent will be required for
base in rectifying or otherwise in
blending it with alcohol" DR.. Doran
said
Through this rectification. or
blending. the 100000 gallons could
yield 25.0Oo,000 gallons of satisfac-
tory whisky. and this would be suf-
ficient to tide the drinking public
over until newly manufactured
whisky was available.
While government regulations re-
quire whisky bottled in bond to be
four years old before being sold,
there is no restriction against new
whisky being sold in barrels.
He estimated that only five to
six months will be required to age
whisky for the market.
DR.. Doran said congress will have
to determine whether regulations
governing whisky rectification should
be changed.
Restrictions Are Slight
Under the present law. any firm
which pays a 500 license fee can
rectify whisky No restrictions are
imposed upon the percentage of
alcohol used in the blending process.
except, of course, that the exact
percentages must be labeled to
comply with the pure food and
drug act"
The manufacturing record for
1917. the last prewar and pre-
prohibition fiscal year, shows that
some 500 American distilleries pro-
duced $1,000, 900 gallons of whisky;
100000 gallons of brandy; 5,700,OC0
gallons of gin, and 100000 gallons
of rum.
The federal revenue collected
that year was: On whisky, $50, $780,
900; gin. S5,400,00O: brandy, $780,
900. and rum. $500, 000
