Political Problems
Seen in Approach 10
Easing Flow Of Liquor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The question of diverting some
alcohol production to making drink
ing liquor cropped up again yester-
day-complicated by political ram
ifications.
Officials of the chemical division
OF the War Production Board said
such diversion to a limited extent is
definitely under consideration, but
that the decision will have to be
made high up in the Government.
The political aspects concern
those citizens who believe there is
too much liquor available already
and the feeling of some other vot-
erS that stocks should be sufficient
to permit them to buy as much AS
they want at lower than present
prices.
From the II States which main
tain a monopoly on liquor sales
have come reports that they have
had particularly hard time keep
ing their shelves stocked. Some
have reduced rations sharply. 1t
has had an effect, too, on their tax
revenues,
All alcohol production was turned
into war channels last fall. Since
then, whisky stocks in warehouses
have fallen (the public wiped out
about l40,000,000 gallons of spirits
last year,, and the beverage distil-
ling industry has requested that a
percentage of total production be
diverted to replenish beverage
stocks.
WPB officials said the final deci-
sion on diversion would have to
come from Fred M. Vinson, director
of the Office of Economic Stabili-
zation.
Assuming the WPB decided to
suspend its order forbidding a dis
tiller to make anything but indus
trial alcohol, the War Food Admin
istration would have to approve the
use OF grain for liquor making. This
in turn would involve the bountiful-
ness of the fall harvest. Neither the
WPB nor the VIA will act, how
ever, without go-ahead from
higher up and there the issue
rested last night.

ury; the senate banking commit
tee was studying a measure to kill
all food subsidies, favored admin
istration device for holding down
food costs; and the senate had be-
fore it a bill to override admins
tration protests and grant an eight
cents an hour wage raise to 1,100,-
900 incorporating railroad workers.
In the absence of President Roose-
welt and as the working head of the
governments economic program
Byrnes sought to check the congress
sional revolt.
If subsidies are killed, he said
farmers may receive higher prices
at the outset but ultimately they
themselves will be hurt by having
to pay higher prices for other goods;
labor will demand an increase in
pay and the Little Steel' wage
ceiling will be shattered; white col
lar workers, unable to make organ
lied appeals for raises, will suffer
undue hardships as will veterans
on fixed pensions and dependents
of servicemen. In short. Byrnes said
killing subsidies will hurt every
body. 1t will ultimately increase
the cost of everything we buy. When
we cash our victory bonds we will
find that the dollars we get will
buy only a part of what they would
have bought at the time Of our
investment. We will find that the
amount of our insurance policies
is no longer sufficient to protect our
families
Noting some congressional argu-
ments that a ban on subsidies could
be accompanied by a controlled
rise in prices, Byrnes said:
"Such talk is as criminally reck-
less as a proposal for a controlled
floor or a controlled forest fire or
controlled epidemic of smallpox"
