BEER BILLS AVOID
CONSTITUTION TEST
Congress Shuns Legal Issue
With Plans to Change
Penalties Only.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.


Although 1t often has been argued
that modification Of the Volstead act
was doubtful question Of constitu-
tionality, what the Senate and House
have done probably removes all such
doubt.
Congress has not determined whether
a certain alcoholic content Is or Is not
intoxicating but has taken the precau-
ton instead to repeal that part OF the
Volstead act which would penalize any
body for selling beverages containing
less that 80 per cent as in the House
bill or sos as stipulated In the Senate
bill.
It was within the prerogative Of Con-
gress to pass law repeating the whole
Volstead act, nullifying the eighteenth
amendment in that way or repeating
such provisions as involved a penalty
for selling beer. And that Is what Con-
gress Is doing NOW with respect to Ger
tain sections of the Volstead law.
Penalties Involved.
BY eliminating the penalties and max
ing them apply only to sales above a
certain alcoholic content, every bever-
age containing q lesser content can be
sold without penalty. Congress has not
validated any particular percentage but
there will be no law on the statute
books to prevent all sales below the
stipulated point.
While this Is a roundabout way OF
getting beer, the fear of an adverse de-
cision by the Supreme Court on the
right Of Congress to define what Is or
what is not intoxicating has brought
it about. There are many constitu-
tional lawyers like Representative
James M. Beck Of Pennsylvania, Repub-
lican, who feel that the Supreme Court
would uphold the right Of Congress to
define the word Intoxicating" and Mr..
Beck expressed regret in the House de-
bate that Congress was not dealing
afiirmatively with the subject.
But whereas there might have been
some question as to the power Of Con-
gress to define Intoxicating" there is
absolutely no question about the right
Of Congress to refuse to enforce any
part of the Constitution by failing to
enact laws that specify the penalties
upon those who violate a particular
provision of the Constitution.
Test Case improbable.
Notification has never been re-
garded as justif1able in constitutional
practice but there are other amend
ments besides the eighteenth which
have not been enforced.
1t is difficult for observers here to
see how a test case now can be made
under the proposed beer law which
would bring constitutionality into ques-
ton as 1t always has been conceded
even by the drys that Congress could
resort to notification at any time. In
1A Nf t-I~x =
amendment has been voted by two
thirds of both Houses of Congress. most
members feel that they are merely an
ticipating the repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment and conforming to the
wishes Of their constituents as expressed
in the November elections.
