Washington, Aug. 11 (United Press) With many of its drastic features modified, the house prohibition enforce ; mi' ut bill was reported to the senate judiciary committee today by the sub committee which has been revising it. The senate subcommittee went over the bill with great thoroughness, revis ing the more extreme clauses. The first modification by the senate committee was the revision of the house provision muking it a misdemeanor for a person to allow his property to be used if he has "reason to believe" it is being used in violation of the war time prohibition act. the somite requires ithat a person must have "knowledge of the illegal use of hi property before he can be held liuble. " It was feared that over zealous enforcement agents might use this provision unfairly. The senate also cut down the bond neces sary by requiring only $1000 or less in stead of the full value of the property. i,t LrwlTu.hai'lbad Workers Going Back lows de-aleoholitred wine and brewed drinks if they eontait less than one - half of one per cent of alcohol end are not designated as "beer, nlo or porter.", 'The.
