NEW YORK, Feb. 10;
Senator I. L. Lenroot, addressing the Association of Lawyers, said that Congress could doubtlessly increase the alcoholic content of beer constitutionally to 2 or 3 per cent., but should legislation be passed permitting , the manufacture and sale of light wines and beers the Supreme Court unquestionably would declare it unconstitutional. He pointed out that Congress and the Administration at present were able to do nothing else but enforce the Eighteenth Amendment and the VoJkstead Law conscientiously. Any attempt by States to authorise, the sale of beers and wines would be fruitless. , .
