THE DAILY VOL. XLL, NO. 6202. LASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1932. MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS REPEAL DEFEATED IN HOUSE 270-144 2 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. _5.—By a margin of six votes, the House this afternoon defeated the Garner Prohibition Repeal Resolution. The vote was 270 for to 144 against. A two-thirds vote was needed since it is for an amendment of the Constitution. Cheers from the Drys greeted Speaker Garner’s announcement of the count of the votes. Proponents evinced keen disappointment. Many lame ducks, defeated for reelection, opposed the resolution. The House action virtually sounds the death knell for Prohibition repeal in that branch of Congress for the short session as Speaker Garner indicated it will go over to the new Congress which is pledged by th_e party platform. Neverth.eless the Democratic leadership plans to go ahead with a program to legalize beer for the purpose of imposing a tax. Speaker Garner was severely scored by the Drys during the 40- minute debate. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, Democratic leader, said the Senate Democratic program for prompt consideration of Prohibition proposals will not be affected by the House vote.
