S500 FINE MOST IF CONCENTRATE IS HELD ILLEGAL Only Single Volstead Act Provision Applicable, Says Woodcock DRY LEADERS START FIRE ON GRAPE JUICE Willebrandt Refuses To Reply To Dr. Clarence True Wilson Washington, Nov.

22 (U.R) The Gov ernment will be unable to Invoke the more severe penalties prescribed for violations of the prohibition laws if It is held illegal to advertise and sell the new grape concentrate which is easily converted into wine. It was revealed today by Prohibi tion Director Woodcock that a 1000 fine would be the maximum penalty for first offenders. This development complicated further the problem con fronting prohibition enforcement offi cials as a result of the activities of Fruit Industries, of. California The grape concentrate is produced by this cooperative organization, which Is being aided by federal Farm Board loans. Couldn't Use Jones Law Woodcock explained that even if the Government decided to prosecute such cases despite the St.

Louis raid there has been no indication that such a broad attitude would bs assumed- Federal prosecutors would be unable to employ the stringent Jones law. This law, Woodcock pointed out, provides only for increased sentences for manu facture, sale, transportation, Importation and exportation of intoxicants. Since the grape product first was introduced in Milwaukee, the only action taken by ofiicinls here was when Woodcock described as "perfectly correct" the raid of St. Louis Federal agents on the store of one Max Rader. According to Woodcock, the only recourse of the Federal Government In such a case Is Section 18 of the Volstead act, which provides Sole Applicable Provision "It shall be unlawful to advertise, manufacture, sell or possess for sale any utensil, contrivance, machine, preparation, compound, tablet, substance, formula, direction or recipe advertised, designed or Intended for use in the unlawful manufacture of intoxicating liquor." In Section 25 It Is stated that In States where a special penalty la not provided the fine shsll not be more than $500.

Meanwhile, dry leaders here opened their attack on the grape concentrate, termed by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of the Methodist Board of Temperance and Public Morals, "more dangerous to the success of prohibition than any evolved since tbe Eighteenth Amendment." Willebrsndt's Attitude Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former Assistant Attorney-General in charge of prohibition enforcement, now counsel for Fruit Industries, would make no rejoinder to Dr. Wilson's statement that "a very shrewd lawyer put a desl over on us."

As the game started the sky over head was steel gray and added little to the setting, otherwise picturesque.

But the thousands of partisan rooters, massed on opposite sides of the field needed no contributions from the weather gods to fire their spirits. Gilman Out In Force On one hand was the entire Gilman student body, which made the trip by rail, bus and automobile. They scoffed at the experts who had Installed Tome a slight favorite to win. They could vision naught NF victory for the Bo- land Park eleven and added their full lung power to Oilman's cause. Tome's supporters were equally en thusiastic, their claims buoyed by the fact that the Tort Deposit gridders had made a splendid showing this year In spite of an unusually hard schedule, Outcome Called Toss-Up In the final anslysis, however, to day's game stacked up as a toss-up, Like in Army-Navy, Hopkins-Mary land and City-Poly scraps, previous records mean nothing when Tome an Gilman clash.

Each points to this one game and on It hinges the success or failure of their season. Th cry of "Beat Toms" was the slogan of the Roland Parkers. In the fourteenth annual game today, Oilman visualised chance to corns up to even terms with Tome in the number of games won and lost over the thirteen- year period preceding todsy's battle, Tome entered the game holding seven victories. Gilman had won six and the Blue and Gray cohorts were clamoring ruthlessly: for ths victory thst would square matters.
