WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—By a five to four decision, the Supreme Court today upheld the right of the Government to limit the quantity of whisky which may be prescribed for patients by physicians. In a case brought by Dr. Samuel W. Lambert of New York, which has long been regarded as one of the most important tests to which the Volstead Act has been sub- jected, the majority of the court ruled that the restriction of physi- cians to one pint of whisky each 10 days: for a patient was not an un- lawful interference with the prac- tice of medicine. Justice Sutherland delivered the dissenting opinion, and was joined by Justices McReynolds, Stone and Butler. They contended that the court’s opinion had _ transferred the control of medicinal practice from the states to Congress. The opinion of the court, handed down by Justice Brandeis, declared that the eighteenth amendment, be- sides prohibiting the manufacture, WOMAN SETS RECORD WITH 44-MILE WALK Miss Sears Hikes From Provi- dence to Boston in 9 ‘Hours, 53 Minutes. sale and transportation of intoxicat- jing liquors for beverage purposes, ‘confers upon Congress by Clause 2, in terms, the power to enforce the prohibition by appropriate legisla- tion.’’ “That limiting the amount of liquor which may be prescribed for medicinal purposes is a provision adopted to promote the purpose of the amendment is clear,”’ the deci- sion said. ‘‘That the provision is not arbitrary appears from the evidence considered by Congress, which em.- bodies, among other things, the les- sons of half a century of experience in the several States in dealing with the liquor.”’ The opinion asserted that “evi- dence disclosed that practicing phy- sicians differ about the value of malt, vinous and spirituous’ li- quors for medicinal purposes, but that the preponderating opinion is against their use for such purposes and that among those who pre- scribe them there are some who are disposed to give prescriptions where the real purpose is to divert the liquor to beverage uses.”’ ee Wounded in Holdup on Busy Street ee ~\ ALCOHOL FOUND HIDDEN ON SHIP — % i - " “ ‘ mt vi : a : i. - war fo, Tel - . a abe ae we heatiy .
