FOR BEER
PERMITS GOES
UNCHECKED
War College Mess and Post
Exchange Get Licenses;
Bar Status in Doubt

When the beverage board con-
vened to consider applications, a
total Of 1,180 had been filed. OF
this number, 470 had been ap-
proved and 104 definitely denied.
The remainder awaited considera-
ton.
The first establishments on
Federal property were given per-
mits today when the board ap-
proved applications filed by the
Post Exchange and the Officers
Mess Of the Army War College
for ION sale" permits.
Hospital Asks Permit
The Army Medical Center at
Walter Reed Hospital applied for
a permit, but the application was
so vague relative to the type of
license desired, the board was
forced to send it back for cor
rection.
Members of the board frankly
admitted they were uncertain
whether sale of the foamy bev-
erage across a bar constituted a
breach of the law. Definitions
of "bar," table" and counter"
appeared almost synonymous.
However, police have been in
structed to warn all dispensers
against sales across a bar, as
the law states the beverage must
be served at tables" AS to
whether this applies to lunch
counters, the board also was un-
certain.
Up to District Attorney
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Vernon West stated that inter
probation of the law regarding
sales would necessarily have to
be made by the District Attor-
ney since all prosecutions under
the law would originate in that
office.
Tax Collector Chatham M.
Towers said revenue derived
thus far from license fees had
reached total of $85, 100.
Members of the board we're
treated to a laugh by one appli-
cant, whose blank was sent back
in a hurry for correction. In re-
sponSe to a question to determine
whether the application had been
filed by an individual, partnership
or corporation, the applicant an
swered:
SGMarried man."
West Only Sampler
Only one member of the board
thus far had tasted of the new
brew. He is Mr.. West. He pro-
nounced the beverage most sat-
isfactory."
