I DRYS PLAN TO RESIST Bills Introduced by Wefts Presage Bitter Fight Cooltdge Sends in Nominations. (AmeUtl Win.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 With the new congress only a few hours old, the Volstead Act and Its par ent law, the 18th amendment, al ready have drawn a flood of pro posals for amendment and repeal. While the preponderance of these are "liberalising" proposals from the wet side, the dry. have nearly balanced the scale with their measures for tightening up prohibition enforcement. The house, first felt the agita tion with the appearance of, more than a score of prohibition bills into the hopper at the opening ses sion, but Senator Edge, republican of New Jersey, moved today to bring the senate Into the question. The New Jer.ey senator had two proposals, one oi inem io inrrea-e the legal alcoholic content of bev erage, from the present maximum of one half of one per cent to 2.75 per cent by weight. Thl. wa. the strength of wartime beer fixed by presidential . 1 proclamation. He would further amend the Volstead act by repealing existing restrlt tlons against physicians prescrib ing more than one pint of liquor for a patient during a period of 10 days. The Edge bills will he referred to the judiciary committee., wfeich also will have before It later In the session other measure for smendment of the Volstead Act and still other bills, sponsored by the antl-saloon league, designed to tighten up - prohibition enforce ment. Legalization of light beer and 1 mild wine in line with the Edge proposal In the senate also Is the object of a number of the house proposal.. The extreme of the wet proposals there Is that of Repre sentative Dwyer. republican of Mis souri, for outright repeal of the na tional prohibition act. In lieu of that he would have congress legal ize light alcoholic beverages. One of the dry propo.!, a bill by Representative Cramtnn. repub lican of Michigan, to place enforce ment agents under . civil service, found a supporter In Representa tive Tlnkham. republican, of Massa chusetts, who Introduced a similar bill.
