A resort to cloture still is threatened to hasten action on other disputed sec tions of the control bllL Cnamberlain Demands Action. Senator Chamberlain tonight pre sented and then withdrew temporarily his cloture, after failing to obtain an agreement by unanimous consent for a final vote next week. Determined to dispose of the measure during the com ing week, he announced that he would renew the cloture motion on Monday unless an agreement could be reached. Another day of impassioned speeches under a five-minute limit, "inside, Con gressional maneuvering and parliamen tary tangles preceded the Senate's ac tion on the liquor contest. The result was hailed as a partial victory by both 'wets and "drys. Prohibition advo cates were more elated, however, be cause they had won their fight to stop or at least greatly restrict consump tion as well as manufacture of dis tilled beverages. The "wets" were successful, however. In confining the Senate's action to dis tilled beverages without interfering with beer and wines. The conter.t raged about the so-called Administration compromise," of Sen ator Robinson, originally provided only for prohibiting manufacture of dis tilled beverages during the war. As finally amended and substituted for the House prohibition section, it reads: Roblnaoa Plan Adapted. 'That- from and after 30 days from the date of the approval of this act, no person shall use any foods, fruits, food materials or feeds in the produc tion of distilled liquors, except for Gov ernmental, industrial manufacturing. scientific or medical purposes, nor shall there be imported into the United States during said war any distilled liquors: provided, that the President of the United States be and he hereby is di rected to take over for and on behalf of the Government of the United States all distilled liquors that are held In bond at the time this act goes into effect, and he is hereby authorized to pay to xne owners or sucn liquors the actual cost of the same plus a profit not ex ceeding 10 per cent. "And provided further that the col lection of all excise taxes on distilled spirits in bond at the time of the pas sage of this act shall be suspended so long as this act is in force and the dis tiller in event that said distilled spirits shall be taken over by the Government as herein provided, shall be discharged from all obligations for any and all taxes levied and assessed against said distilled spirits, provided, however, that tne owner ot tne distilled spirits shall not withdraw any part thereof with out the payment of . the excise tax in force. "Any person who wilfully violates this section shall upon conviction thereof be punished by a fine of not exceeding $5000 or by imprison ment for not more than two years, or both." Sntoot Proposes Purchase. The provision for Government pur chase of distilled beverages in bond, offered by Senator Smoot. was added to the Robinson substitute by a vote of o to 12. after many Senators had vigorously denounced as confiscation of distillers' property a provision by Sen ator Cummins, of Iowa, which proposed to prohibit .withdrawal of the ware house stores. The 12 Senators voting against the Smoot amendment were: Borah. Chamberlain, France. Hitch cock. Owen. Reed. Simmons, Smith of Georgia. Stone. Traminell.' Vardaman and Walsh. Comprising both wets ana drys, opposing the plan Tor divergent reasons. On Senator Cummins amendment the Senate reversed Itself. After having been added yesterday to the Robinson substitute by a vote of 45 to 40, it was stricken out today, 43 to 39. Oregon Senators Against Wine.

Representative Barkley, of Kentucky, father of the absolute beverage manu facturing prohibitory amendment, said tonight that he disliked the Senate bill, but declined to forecast what action the House would take on it. "I am sorry," he said, "that the Sen ate separated whisky and beer. They have been close friends so long that I don't think they should be parted now." Other prohibitionist Representatives were undecided regarding steps to be taken upon the return of the Senate bill. They will confer early next week and map out a plan of action. In withdrawing the revised war tax bill from the Senate and having It re committed to the finance committees. Chairman Simmons said the further re vision would depend upon the final ac tion of Congress as to eliminating dis tilled beverages as a source of revenue. The committee may meet Monday to consider this situation tentatively. Pri vately it was stated that to make up any loss in revenue from distilled bev erages it was probable that the taxes on beer and wines would be increased greatly and also possibly the taxes on incomes and war excess profits.

LIQUOR INTERESTS SAVE WHISKY SALE Five Senators, Two From Dry States, Reverse Vote on Cummins Amendment. GOODS NOT HELD IN BOND 30,000,000 Gallons Already Wlth- draw-n Ivy or 9S0O.O00.O00 Additional Revenue Needed. Wine or Beer Not Affected. OREGONtAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 7. The United States Ben ate, while ostensibly voting today to put whisky out of the running during the war actually adopted an amend ment to the food conservation bill which, while stopping the manufacture of whisky, will not prohibit the sale of whisky, but will enable distillers to sell their stock on hand in bond for almost any price they care to ask. The so-called prohibition amend ment finally adopted makes no refer ence to beer or wine and their produc tion and sale can proceed without any sort of Federal interruption. When the Senate today reversed its vote of last night an reconsidered and rejected this amendment, it gave visible evidence of the power of the liquor Interests, known to be strongly entrenched in Washington. Five Senators Reverse Selves. Five Senators, four of them Demo crats, who yesterday voted for the Cummins amendment, today reversed themselves and brought about the de feat of that amendment. There Is bitter talk in Senate lobbies that Whita House pressure was brought to bear over night to force this change and much comment was made on the fact that Senators Smith of Oeorgla and Tillman of South Carolina from bone dry states, should unexpectedly have switched and Joined the liquor forces. What the Senate Anally did. as analv- sls of the day's work shows, was to abandon the Cummins plan of holding In bond during the continuance of the war without expense to the Govern ment all whisky now In bond and sub stituting therefor a plan advanced by Senator Smoot. under which the Gov ernment will buy some 300,000,000 gal lons of whisky now In bond at an estimated cost of $200,000,000 if the wnisKy is not withdrawn from bond before the law goes into effect. Cummins Amendment Burled. Yesterday every Northern Senator. except Chamberlain, voted for the Cum mins amendment. Today Chamberlain was the orrty Northwestern Senator to vote to kill the Cummins amendment. With the Cummins amendment safelv buried, all Senators from the Northwest .v.u .v ,iu hiiiuul a iiiriiu lion L, as providing the only other means of withholding whisky in bond from sale during the war. They referred the femoot amendment to no legislation dealing witn whisky in bond. Later Senator Pitman gave the Sen ate a chance again to record Its onin- ion on the question of permitting the r-resiaem 10 regulate tne manufacture of beer and wine. Senators Chamber lain, McNary and Poindexter voted to give the President this discretionary power. Three Fight Proposal. Senators Jones, Borah and Brady voted against the proposal. On the final rollcall the ttenate was called upon to divide between the House "bone- dry" amendment and the Robinson plan of stopping only the manufacture of whisky and other distilled spirits. Senator McNary voted for the Robin son amendment, which makes no men tion of beer or wines; Senator cham berlain and all other Northwest Sena tors voted against the Robinson amend ment, and Inferentially a bone-dry law. II the House should agree to the Senate liquor amendment as framed to day, every gallon of whisky now in bond can be withdrawn before the food bill is signed by the President. While this would relieve the Government of the expense of buying this liquor. It would at the same time permit the distillers and distributors to take from bonded warehouses a supply of whisky estimated to be ample to supply the normal demands of the country for at least two years. Before noon today 20.000.000 gallons of whisky were with drawn from bonded warehouses, ac cording to Treasury advices. Accord ing to Senator Simmons, chairman of the Senate finance committee, the Sen ate action today will necessitate the levying of $500,000,000 additional taxes under the pending revenue bill.
