Distilleries Washington, Aug. 1 (U.R) Beverage alcohol began flowing from the nation's distilleries ' last night for the first time since October 8, 1942, with in dustry sources estimating that about 50,000,000 gallons will be made before the month-long in dustrial alcohol holiday ends. The go-ahead to the distilled spirits industry was sounded by War Production Board Chair man Donald M. Nelson last month when It became appar ent that the stockpiles of indus trial alcohol for war uses were great enough to dispense with August production. Most distillers, it Is believed, will concentrate on neutral spir its for subsequent blending with aged rye and bourbon whiskey stocks and for manufacture of cordials and gin. I The War Food Admlnistra- j tion has prohibited use of corn j in manufacture of potable alco- j hoi but the neutral spirits will permit producers to extend their bourbon stocks.
