' The house' of representatives refused to accept the senate amendment providing for 3.03 per cent, and the conference committee decided to accept the house percentage; the committee also killed the Rorah amendment providing that the beverage could not be sold to children under sixteen years of age. As soon as the new law becomes operative and beer Is actually ' on sale' the drys" plan to bring a test case to be rushed through to the Supreme court for the purpose of determining the constitutionality of the law, and they believe the court will find that 3.2 beer Is Intoxicating and' that the law Is unconstitutional. It was to minimize this possibility that the senate minced the alcoholic content to conform with a finding of a British commission which had decided the highest alcoholic content possible in a beverage would be 3.()5. Under the new iaw bhe sale of the beverage u.ll he regulated by states, counties or municipalities as was true before the days of prohibition. There is nothing in the law to prohibit the sale ill saloons tn states or counties or municipalities where saloons may be wanted, and where such method of sale may be authorized. The sale of beer has been legalized in only 14 states effective on April 7. The prohibition laws have been repealed in five other states, but the repeal in these states does not become effective until after April 7, and in one state not until July 1. The other 29 states are dry either because of legislation enacted after the adoption of the I" cent!) amendment, or were to that enactment.
