Show "WASHINGTON, July 16. Prohibition Prohibi-tion is being enforced effectively throughout the United States, Attorney General Palmer said today. Sale of ' ' hard liquor, ' ; such as whisky, gin and brandy, virtually has ceased, he asserted, as-serted, except for scattering violations of the law. Manufacture and sale of beer also is prohibited except in communities com-munities where the courts have ruled agaiiiBt the contention of the department depart-ment of justice that 2.75 per c?nt alcoholic alco-holic drinks are forbidden by law, and in thoso jurisdictions prosecutions will be instituted if the supreme court finally fi-nally upholds the department 's view. Mr. Palmer said he had expressed no opinion on enforcement legislation pending in congress except to say to interested representatives the department depart-ment of justice would enforce vigorously vigor-ously whatever measure was enacted. |
