The Treasury Department’s new regulation governing sacramental wines already has resulted in a 50 per cent reduction in withdrawals of such wines, Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, Assistant Secretary in charge of prohibition enforcement said.
General Andrews indicated that there is no present intention to change the method of handling sacramental wines.
“Our present regulation concerning these wines, after a three months’ trial, is working very satisfactorily,” he said. “We have not considered changing it.”
