The governor issued his pro clamation without comment. ATLANTA, Ga.— (&) —Leaping to the fore on the impetus of conflicting opinions, Georgia's new wine law «tock the spotlight from the liquor battle today. Two different views were given regarding the provision of the wine law forbidding importation of either wine or the material for making it into the state and in the meantime repeal advocates drew plans for attempt to over come twin rebuffs in courts. Some anthorities were quoted as saying the wine law is in direct conflict with -the United States interstate commerce act. This view came close on a ruling made yvesterday by state Attorney Gen eral M. J. Yeomans that wine or materials for it could not be brought into Georgia. Will Open Gates The persons who were quoted said the confiict of the wine law with the interstate commerce act will open the gates for a flood of wine from California and Europe, with a maximum alcoholic con tent of 24 percent, the limit un der the revenue law of the United States. It was said the interstate com merce act specifically provides that no state may prohibit the importation from another state of any product, the manufacture and sale of which is not prohibited in the state itself. Attorney General Yeomans did not pass on the constitutionality of the wine act vesterday but merely gave an interpretation of the new law. He said the so called bone dry law es the state was not repealed by the act but remains “in full force and effect except insofar as it has been mod ified by the wine act and the beer (Continued On Page Two) 5,000 Homeless in Southwestern Floods OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—(#)— Tawny flood waters surged over lowlands in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana today while 5,000 home less waited for the waters to re cede.
