New York, April 7-(UP)-New York's millions absorbed the out put of thirty breweries, working three shifts of deliveries, as fast as the vast flood of legalized beer could be distributed today.
 Before noon, many small res- taurants and bars were forced to turn customers away, while their managers pleaded with harassed brewery clerks for fresh supplies.
 Chain stores, geared to deliver at last half of the brewers output directly into the Kitchens of house. wives, reported rush of orders.
 At noon, speakeasy proprietors, still struggling to hold their own against legitimate beer - and still charging 25 cents a glass as against 10 cents a bottle - heard distressing news. They must take out licenses from the health de- partment before April 12, or they will be raided.
 Hundreds of would-be beer sell CTS, unable to obtain temporary licenses yesterday, were again In line today at the health depart ment offices.
 After New York had plotted up the first flow of beer. 1t turned its attention to wine. At Mouquin's. in Brooklyn, 800 workers filled orders for thousands of cases of the mild wine permitted under the new law. at prices ranging from S5 cents to $2.00 a quart.
 Meanwhile, throughout Manhat- tan, cafe proprietors were busy tacking up "draught beer here" signs, only to take them down when the supplies ran out. In some beer halls the signs went up and were taken down half a dozen times.
 Brewers predicted that with thousands of trucks on the streets New York's temporary supply of 100000 barrels would be distrib- uted by nightfall.
