trict Attorney held was contrary to
the law, and threatened prosecution
unless the selling of liquor were
stopped. The Club then closed its

decision just handed down the cir
cult court decides that social clubs
in Alaska maintaining private bars
and dispensing alcoholic drinks
must pay the federal license fee.
