the refusal of the Danish government

TWO BROWNSVILLEF FIRMS
HAVE LICENSES REVOKED

Two Brownsville. Tex. merchant hrms'
walker-Craig Company and George NC
Gonigle & Co.. have had their licenses
revoked by the food administration to
take effect April 20. as a result OF
charges that they sold large quantities
of sugar, which, the food authorities
state. encouraged smuggling across the
Rio Grande into Mexico.
The food administration states that
investigation disclosed that Walker
Craig Company, during December. jan
uary and February, made sales of sugar
in excess of 1000 pounds. to retail
erocers, and had repeated sales to the
same grocers without taking precau-
tions to ascertain whether such grocers
had bought from other wholesalers or
had used up In legitimate trade the
quantity previously sold to them.
The food authorities say the other
case was similar, except that after
George McGonigle & Co. had received
as to the sale of sugar,
continued to sell in excessive quanti-
ties to retail merchants. The food au-
thorities allege that some or all of
the retailers to whom the sugar was
sold were shipping it into Mexico.
