(AP) A prohibitionist who favora legalisation of beer to "save" the, eighteenth amendment probably will have as much to say as- anyone else in con gress about what la done this session to change the dry laws. He is George W. Norrls, gray haired Nebraska Republican and chairman of. the senate Judiciary committee where both the beer and repeal is sues are now centered. Though for many years he was one of the strongest supporters of the dry laws, he now favora legalized beer because he believes enforcement haa broken down and that unless the Vol stead act Is modified the prohibition amendment Itself will be repealed, "I'm approaching the problem from what I believe Is the right stand point," Norrls said In explaining his position. "I'm a prohibitionist. But the eighteenth amendment has not been satisfactory and we must cither modify the Volstead act or repeal it. "I'd like to give modification a trial before we repeal the amend ment. The house proposal to legalize 3.3 per cent beer by weight was charac terized by him as "a fair compro mise." Norrls also has said he favors taking up the house Beer bill before con sidering ?he prohibition repeal question.
