The message was short and pointed, as follows: “I recommend to Congress the passage of legislation for immediate modification of the Volstead Act in order to legalize the manufacture and sale of beer and other bever- ages, with such alcoholic con- tent as permissible under the Constitution, and to provide through such manufacture and sale, by substantial taxes as proper, much needed reve- nue for the Government. “I deem action at this time to be of the highest import- ance.” The President considered the revenue to be derived from beer taxes will be very important in the Budget bal- .lancing program. Officials estimate the amount expected to be receiv- ed from a beer tax will be more than $125,000,000 an- nually. It is expected the House will pass such a measure im- mediately but action in the | Senate is doubtful before ths recess. Prof. Fuess Will Be Coolidge Biographer BOSTON, March 13.—Prof. Claude M.
