No Test Case Hero.

Asked today if the Connecticut Re- tail Liquor Dealers association would be likely to seek an injunction sim ilar to the one brought out by the Rhode Island association to prove the wartime prohibition ruling unconsti- tutiona!, President A. F.. Monsees of the local branch said he felt that such a move would not be made. Mr. Monsecs explained that the test case of several months ago in which Ste phen Winery, of Meriden, was the "goat" proved the stand in this state on the law and that case was eQuiva- lent to an injunction test in the mind of the local official.
 The matter had been discussed at q meeting of the state association several months ago but it was thought that such a thing would be almost impossible in consideration of the fleeing of state officials, and should one be started it would not be effective.
