—_— OILENCE GREETS BEER REPORTS Rumors of 4.4 Recommendation Are Not Denied Washington, Oct. 24 (UP)—An | attitude of silence is being main- taineg at the Whitc Hoéuse in the! face of rumors that President Hoover and his law enforcement commission soon may recommend | 4.4 per cent beer. The president and his associales have indicated they do not carc to | dignify by an official denial the un- confirmed information which has run over the private wires of brok- ers. Unofficialy the reticence of the administration high command is ex- plained by the imminence of the congressional election, in which pro- hibition is such an outstanding is- sue. Privately, those in authority here suggest the unverified report may have been spread by those in- terested in promoting the wet cause at the polls. The administration leaders wish to avoid any possible charge of aid- ing either side with affirmations or denials they say There is, however, a strong indi- cation in the highest quarters that the Wickersham commission is con- templating a report which may not he acceptable to some extremely dry anizations. Those in positions of great responsibility here believe a wodification of the law may be sug- gested by the commission. The 4.4 per cent alcoholic ronlvm.‘ figure has not been mentioned be- | fore. One half of one per cent is allowed by the Volstead act.
