where the influence of the administration can be brought to bcajmore directly What will be the outcome no senator would predict with confidence tonight Debate Limited by Rale The prohibition "amendment was adopted under a rule limiting debate and there were only brief sharply on each side Just previously speeches the Senate had voted down 47 to 25 a proposal to forbid sale of Intoxicants

upon other materials for their main constituents Another opportunity to vote upon It will be offered when the Senate takes the bill with the amendment from the committee of the whole but opponents of the prohibitory provision are not confident that they will be able to overturn today's action1 Estimates during the debate were that at least $2000000 In annual internal revenue would be lost if the amendment stands Elimination of the press censorship section ended & long and bitter fight The vote was 39 to 88 Opportunity will come also for another vote on this section and the administration Is
