LIQUOR came to New York over the Penn

Apparently those for whom the liquor
was intended had planned to intercept
1t at the pier.

the restaurant men, a delegation of
whom called yesterday upon Charles r.

told him. Unless a thin trickle of booze
can be permitted to the chefs-not for
themselves. but for their dishes-the
American cuisine soon must become
