SENATORS SILEN ON NEW DRY PLAN Bruce Favors Government Handling of Medicinal Liquor. Others Fail to Speak. Members of the Senate indicated today they want to give careful study to Gen. Andrews’' plan to create a single corporation to manufacture and distribute medicinal alcohol before committing themselves on the proposition. Senator Bruce, Democrat of Mary- land, and a foe of the Volstead act, took the position that the Government Itself should handle the manufacture end distribution of medicinal liquor rather than have one private corpora- tion do It, but other Senators who could be reached today sald they wanted to give further thought to the proposal as made public yester- day. “I think Gen. Andrews makes a mistake in not having the Govern- ment manufacture and supply the alcohol for that pucrpose,” sald fena- tor Bruce, referring to the medicinal Hquor problem. “I cannot see the occasion for having a private corpora- tion. I think the Quebec plan could be adopted to the extent of applying it to medicinal alcohol.” Senators at the Capitol today who had not formed definite opinions on the question included both Repub- licans and Democrats. One supporter of prohibition, who was not ready to discuss the definite plan outlned hy Gen. Andrews, in- dicated privately there would he op- position to an ng that might tend to put the overnment into the &leohol business. Andrews’ proposal has failed to get the approval, for the present at least, ©f the Anti-Saloon League. The position of the Anti-Saloon League, as announced by its general counsel, Wayne B. Wheeler, is that immediate manufacture of whisky is not necessary and that it would be possible to import sufficlent whisky from abroad if needed to meet medic- inal demands until a definite program of replacement could be formulated. It considers 15,000,000 gallons a suf- ficient supply to t eight years, and holds that only four s are needed, “according to the s tandard set by madical profession,” for aging new liugor. With respect to authorizing manu- £l f whisky in this country is maintaining an_ “open although Wheeler said there was a “possibility” that the bill being prepared by Andrews might meet ob. Jections to the reopening of distilleries, “The features in the original bill for Government control that caused op- position,” he said, “are being ironed out, and if it passes, the Government can limit manufacture to a few places. Question Is Open. “Whether the United States should renew the manufacture of whisky here or buy it abroad, as the law pro- vides, is an open question. The wets istently declared that the to get pure whisky is in and or €ome other forelgn coun- . If they are right, the needed supply may be secured abroad. We need not buy for at least five years and could tell better then how much was needed. Any needed supply could imported in a very short time to fill any deficiency between wareh: “1se eupply and the demands of the 1 ur. 1f the Government tries the foreign purchase plan for a short time and nds It unsatisfactory, it can start the distilleries whenever the contin- gency arises.” " PERPETUAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION PAYS 5% Compounded Semi-Annually Assets Over $13,000,000 Surplus, $1,000,000 Cor. 11th & E Sts.
