VALIDITY OF EIGHTEENTH
AMENDMENTJATTACKED
WASHINGTON April 73— Val-
idity of the Prohibition Amendment
and portions of the Enforcement Act
was involved in seven separate pro
feedings before the Supreme Court
i Two of these were original suits
brought by Rhode Island and New
Jersey as sovereign states to enjoin
enforcement in their jurisdiction cp-
on the grounds that both enactments
were unconstitutional The other
cases were direct appeals from lower
court decrees
Steps to institute the suits were
taken immediately after the amend-
ment became effective on January
16 and on motion of counsel their
consideration was expedited
In both the Rhode Island and New
Jersey suits the validity of the
Eighteenth Amcmhnent was attack-
ed but the New Jersey case also al-
leged that even if the amendment
were valid the enforcement set was
unconstitutional because it had not
been concurred in by New Jersey un-
der provisions of the amendment giv-
ing ths federal and state govern
ment concurrent power to enforce
prohibition New Jersey also con-
tended that if th entire enforcement
act were not unconstitutional the
portions of it limiting the alcoholic
content of beverages to less than
one-half of one per cent and relating
to the dispensing of liquors for med-
icinal purposes were invalid
The cases reaching the court on
appeals wers those of the Kentucky
Distilleries and Warehouse Com-
pany Christian Feigenspan a New-
ark N J brewer the St Louis
Crewing Association and George C
Dempsey a wholesale liquor dealer
of Bo-ton Mass who lost injunction
proceedings in the lower court Th
other case before the court was an
npfieal by the government from a
decision of Federal Judge Geiger en-
joining federal officials from inter-
fering with the Manitowoc Products
Company a Wisconsin corporation
in the manufacture of beer contain-
ing 25 per cent alcohol
In all the cases a general attack
on the amendment was made on
the ground that it was revolution-
ary and constituted legislation in
the guiss of a constitutional amend-
ment designed to regulate the pri-
vate habits of individuals that it in-
terfered with the states’ police pow-
ers that it was invalid because ad-
opted by two-thirds of the members
of congress present when the vote
was taken and not by two-thirds of
the membership and that thq amend-
ment was not ratified by three-
fourths of the states owing to pro-
visions in many state constitutions
requiring that amendments be sub-
mitted to a referendum
