BRITISH VIEWSON INTOXICANT ADOPTED Permissible Alcoholic Con tent of 3.05 Percent To Be Accepted i hm FINDING IS OUTLINED Berate Judiciary Committee Centcllrs Attention on Decision by Cen tral Contnol Board of Great Britain Washington, Jan. 24.—(AP)—Atten tion has been centered on the report of the central control board of Great Britain on what constitutes an in toxicating liquor by (he Senate Judi ciary Committee’s adoption of its findings. The committee fixed the permissible alcoholic content in the Collier-Blaine beer and wine bill at 3.05 percent by weight. This percentage was held by the official British commission after an exhaustive inquiry to be non-in tcxicating. The commission found that “any form of alcoholic liquor can cause drunkenness if such a quantity is taken at once or within a short time as will lead to the presence of the drug in the blood over a certain pro portion, which in the , case of the average healthy adult may be put pro visionally at from 0.15 to 0.2 percent.” The smaller percentage, is found, would he produced by a gill and a half of wniskey at proof or more than four pints of four percent beer.

Raleigh, Jan. ,24 —-The efforts to repeal the workmen’sf compensation law and abolish the Industrial Com mission, charged with administering it, are not coming entirely from the lawyers and doctors who have become disgruntled because of the law, but are being powerfully assisted by the indemnity and casualty insurance com panies that writ© compensation insur ance, it was authoritatively learned here today.

BY HENRY LESESNE. Raleigh, Jan. 24.—Taking int'o con sideration the shrinkage of revenue within recent years, and the fact that several new items have been added to the 1933 version of this bill, Sen ator John W. Hinsdale, of White, de clared in* an Interview with this bu reau * today-* that his luxury tax pro posal now before the General Assem bly "would bring in between $8,000,000 and $9,000,000. Although :some-. individual estimates of the amount of money the luxury tax would bring in are much under his own figure, the Wake senator be lieves that the enactment of Ills bill would easily balance the budget. He pointed to the fact that the budget commiss|!on estimates only $10,000,- 000 more money will have to be rais ed annually, and expressed belief that more t|ian $2,000,000 of this will pro bably, be saved by lowering of gov ernmental costs. Senator Hinsdale, who led the fight for the adoption of a luxury sales tax in 1931 and lost by only one senate vote, expressed the belief that senti ment for a selected commodity t a x is much stronger than it was two years ago, and that there will be no neces sity of resorting to a combination luxury tax, general sales tax and pro duction tax in order to balance the budget.
