NEW REGULATION
TOCURBLIQUOR
Permits Hereafter Will Not
Be Entrusted to Appli-
cants for Delivery
INTENDED TO STOP
FRAUD BY FORGERY

A new regulation designed to put
orlmp in Illicit sales Of liquor, has
been issued by John P. Kramer, Fed
eral Prohibition Commissioner. and
was received today by w. Truxton
Boyce, Federal Prohibition Director
for Delaware.
The regulation provides that here
after, when a permit is granted an
applicant for alcoholic liquids, the
permit hsef will be sent directly 10
the place where the liquor is TO be
sold and not given TO the applicant.
This Is done to prevent changing OF
permits by applicants before presenta-
ton DO the seller.
Inasmuch as the only alcoholic
liquids sold in Delaware are those
which may be used for industrial or
bathing purposes, the regulation Will
have little effect here. In other
States. however, where the Federal or
/ Volstead act is the sole anti-liquor
enforcement law, the regulation. is
expected to reduce materially The dis
posal OF large quantities or liquor
/ for beverage purposes. Thus an ap'
/ plicant for one quart OF liquor VINO Is
given permission TO obtain ons
| quart, will be unable 10 increase th'
figure in the permit before PresentInl
