ILY, NEW “YORK, THURS FIRST MOVE IN REFUSING SH Bankhead Offers Amendment Barring Vessels 'Selling Rum From U. S, Aid, APPEAL TO DAUGHERTY Treasury Request for Ruling by Attorney General Is Expected. WASHINGTON, June 15 (As- sociated Press). — Definite steps through legislation to stop the @ale of liquor upon American ships were started to-day through presen- tation by Representative Bankhead, Democrat, Alabama, of an amend- ment to the Merchant Marine Bill which would cut off the Government aid provided in the measure from any ship carrying intoxicating liquors @r beverages, At the same time, it was indicated at the Treasury Department that At- terney Goneral, Daugherty, would be asked for a now refing on #e qua tion of the sale of Nauor on Shipping Board vessels. The Alabama. Representative of- fered his amendmept at a meeting of the House Merchant Marime Commit- tee, of which he-is a member, called to take final action on the Merchant Marine Bill. Considerable: doubt was «expressed, however, that the amend- ment would be accepted as the in- @cations were that the majority members of the committee would vote to report the bill as framed by a sub- eommittee. The Bankhead anfepdment would provide “that no part of the money herein appropriated shall be used for the payment of compensation to the ewner of any vessel upon which any Nquors or beverages containing more than one-half of 1 per cent. alcohol by volume are stored, sold, kept for wale, offered for sale or other dis- position within or without the ter- ritorial waters of the United Sates.” High Treasury officials said that although Prohibition Commissioner Haynes had not submitted to Secre- tary Mellon a request that Mr. Daugherty be asked to review tle ruling of former Acting Attorney General Frierson, holding the selling of liquor.on American ships to be !I- legal, Secretary Mellon was ready to forward guch a request if it came from Mr. Haynes. Mr, Haynes was understapd to be considering the need of a new: ruling by the Department of Justice in order to harmonize the difference of opinion between Mr. Frierson's ruling and the stand taken by General Counsel fichlesinger of the Shipping Board that liquor could be sold lawfully on Government vessels outside the thres-mile limit Meanwhile, officials said, the Treas- ury and the Prohibition unit would maintain its position thet in view of the existing difference of opinion it would await court action or a new Department of Justice interpretation (Continued on Sixth Page) bree on Sommers Sunday World Real Estate Advertisements '1USi BE Ls THe World Office On or Before Friday To Insure Proper Classification Order Sunday World Classtped tdeertisiny (0-Day The World a) CONGRES TO BAR LIQUOR ON SHIPS BY ARE IN SUBSIDY + DRY AGENTS SEE TWO TUS, TREE BARGES, TWO MEN Say They Figured. in Smug- gling Alcohol and Whiskey Here.
