that Saloon License is Not

County Attorney J. Frank Meeker,
representing the board of county COM
missoners, announced today that a
case similar to that of Paul Horvath,
in which the board was reversed by
Judge Becker of the Lake Superior
Court, would be appealed to the
supreme court of the state of Indiana.
1t will be remembered that Judges
Lawrence Becker, Virgil S. Reiter
and Johannes Kopelke, sitting en-
banc. ruled that Paul Horvath is en-
titled to renewal of his license even
though he does not measure up to
the requirements of the Proctor
liquor law which stipulates that the
applicant for saloon license must be
a full fledged citizen of the United
States or must have resided in the
state for a period of at east ten years.
The reason why the Horvath case Will
not be appealed but that a similar one
