GROUP WILL
Be LIBERAL
Prince Georges Board Will Not
Add Further Restrictions
to State Law

Liberality will feature the Prince
Georges county board Of license
commissioners attitude in what
constitutes q restaurant for sale
of hard liquors by the drink, the
board announced through its
chairman, Henry Morris, of Upper
Marlboro, today.
The board has refused to add
any further restrictions on the
definition Of a restaurant other
than that put into the Maryland
State act.
20 Days of Consideration
After 20 days Of consideration.
during which the board was faced
with either allowing public bars
or severely restricting the C6Ie Of
drinks by prescribing strict rules
of what a restaurant is, the board
has decided to rule on each case
individually as to whether the
three board members think the
dealer intends to operate a res
taurant, or merely an open bar
with a pretense Of serving meals.
Grant IA Licenses
The board yesterday gave four.
month licenses to IA off sale deal
erS, nine on sale, one temporary
license and one for beer and wine,
following the first hearings of the
board of whether residents had
complaints about stores with
temporary licenses.
Before receiving tneir licenses,
dealers were asked whether they
had practiced fraud in their
applications, whether the signers
on the application were taxpayers
Of the county, and if the store
had unduly disturbed the peace
since opening about December 10.

MYSTERY Wells
TWIN SHOOTING

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Jan. S.
While a husband was admitting
he couldn't get it all together"
and his wife was so close to death
that her lips were sealed, police
here and the washington County
Hospital authorities were trying
to lift the veil Of mystery envelop-
ing "just what happened and
why" early today in the Oak Hill
Avenue apartment of E. Russell
Koons.
Koons, "a, and his wife, Cath
crime, 33, we're admitted to the
hospital after shots were heard
and police were called. The hus-
band had a scalp wound and the
wife probably a fatal wound in
the abdomen.
Questioned by police, Koons. who
is a railway machinist. was quoted
as saying:
'Tt was all an accident. I
know my wife was injured but
/ don't know why I'm here. I
can't get it all together"
Harry G. Garonsy, a neighbor,
said he heard a crash of glass
and later two shots in rapid sue
cession. He said Koons called to
him to get a doctor. Officers
found a pistol in a dresser
drawer, with three shells dis
charged and two loaded ones
in it.

INFORMAL VOTE
WILL DECIDE
BITTER FIGHT
Vets, Drys Have Been at War
Since Repeal and Threat Of
"Rum Row" in Town

Whether Mt. Rainier shall be
wet or dry will be decided by
the residents tomorrow when they
go to the polls to cast their vote
in an informal referendum.
Ever since repeal and the
threat of rum row" in the
town, vets and drys have been
pulling each others hair.
When the question Of the
Eight e enth Amendment was
brought before the citizens Of
the town, they voted three to
one against it. But it was not
long afterward, when Maryland
went wet, that the residents by
petition to the Prince Georges
County Liquor Control Board, op'
posed the sale of legal liquor in
the community.
Five Towns Dry
Hyattsville was the first town
In the county to take a dry
stand and Mt. Rainier followed
suit Immediately.
Riverdale, Laurel and Brent
wood then joined the dry ranks.
At the request of the Mt:
Rainier mayor and town council
the liquor board at Marlboro
held up the license applications
of nine business men.
Chief figure for the vets IS
Louis Lebowitz, attorney and one
of the applicants. He appealed to
the Maryland Tax Commission
for a permit to sell the legal
liquor. The dry fight is being led
by Mayor John Beall and the
town council.
Test of Sentiment
The vote will serve only to
show to the liquor board the trend
of opinion in the town.
Henry Morris, chairman OF the
liquor board, made known that
unless the referendum were held
he would issue licenses to the
Mt. Rainier applicants.
Polls will be open in the mun1c-
ipal building from 8 a. m. to Z
p. m. Judges have been selected
by the town fathers.

AUTO TAX GU 7.
SEEN NEAR IN
VIRGINIA
Pari-MutueI Betting, Aid for
Schools, and Liquor Up
in Legislature

Numerous legislative problems
of Importance to Northern Vir-
ginia will be in the van when the
Virginia General Assembly meets
next week in Richmond.
Reduction in the price of auto
mobile licenses plates will be en-
acted, it appears. Governor-elect
George Peery had as main plank
in his platform the lowering Of
the tax. At present, the price is
graduated on a basis of 70 cents
a hundred pounds. Many think
the new fee will be on either a
flat basis or a lowered graduated
weight basis.
May Legalize Betting
Legalization of pari-mutuel bet
ting also will be sought, with pos
sibility of passing if a sufficient
fight is waged by those favor
ing it.
Relief for schools will be one
of the first issues to be fought
out. Many counties throughout the
State are attempting to run their
schools on shortened incomes. The
latest example is Alexandria, Va,
where public schools are operat-
ing under a shortened term that
wipes the schools from the accred-
tied list. In Arlington county the
funds available are not sufficient
for operation and some money will
have to be borrowed before the
end of the term. 49,
Aiding schools probably will
bring about reforms in the taxa
ton situation in the State. Many
members of the legislature are
committed to a sales tax, some OF
them in more degree than others.
One school of thought would i'm
pose the tax on all but food
stuffs and medicines, while others
would make the tax general.
RediStricting To Be Issue
The redistricting question will
be another of vital Importance to
northern Virginia, which faces
seeing the eighth Congressional
district wiped out.
Prohibition reform will be an
other matter that will receive
early attention. A mandate of
the electors of last August calls
for substitution of a plan Of
liquor control for the Layman
bone-dry law. It is thought
probable the plan that will be
passed will be some sort of dis
pensary system under State con-
troll.
Two new members will repre-
sent Arlington and Fairfax
counties in the general assembly,
William D. Medley, of Arlington
county, recently elected, and John
T. Mackall, of Fairfax county,
who filled the unexpired term of
the late Edmund Allen in the
special session last year and was
reelected.
j. Fred Birrell, who has been
member from Alexandria for
some years. will continue, as will
State Senator John Rust, of
Fairfax, in the upper house.

GUT IN SCHOOL
|RKS CITIZENS

Alexandria citizens today were
up in arms over proposed reduc-
ton of the school term to 154
days when it was disclosed that
the school board proposed to hold
out $4,000 to start next years
term.
The recent action of the school
board in ordering the short term
strips Alexandria high schools
from the accredited list Of schools
and compells graduates desiring
to enter college to take expensive
examinations.
Board Member E. E. LaWler,
who has been leading the fight to
keep the schools open at least for
100 days as required under the
State credit system, today said:
"Under the present plan,
there will be about $4,000 left
in school funds at the end Of
the present term. MIR. Arthur
M. King, another member, and
I are seeking to have a portion
Of this used to extend the pres
ent term to 100 days and retain
the accredited standard Of the
Alexandria schools.
1T would be far better to run
q To-day term this year and a
slightly shortened term next
year-abOut IT'S dayS-than to
ruin this term altogether and
then run the full term next
year."
The shortened term was sug-
gested the school board by T. c.
William, superintendent, and was
passed by the board by a vote
of 3 to 2.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES

The Los Angeles Angels were off
today on another winning week,
promising to widen the 14h game
lead they already hold in the lop-
sided Pacific Coast league pennant
chase.
The Angels got running start on
another series conquest by defeat
ing Oakland, 6-l, in yesterdays con-
test. Garland held the Oaks TO three
hits, including a homer by Anton
Lillards homer was one of the nine
hits the winners collected from Jim
Rego and SalinSen.

grasp on third place by defeating the
San Francisco Seals, 2-1, in duel
between Lou Vinci of the Senators
and young Ken Sheehan. Vinci al
lowed only four hits, while Sacra-
mento found Sheehan for eight.

Officers Attack
LeUinsky's Dough

LOS ANGELES. June 13. U.P) =
King Levinsky lost two bouts last
night, one to Art Lasky, Minneapo-
lis heavyweight, and another to fed
eral officers.
Agents attached the Chica goan's
end Of the purse to satisfy a $1,000
income tax lien against the fighter
and his sister, Lena Levy.
Matchmaker Tom Gallery re-
vealed that Levinsky apparently had
sought to escape the treatment by
demanding a $500 advance several
hours before the fight. Mrs. Levy,
Gallery said, threatened to keep her
brother from the ring unless the
advance was forthcoming. The
matchmaker rejected her demands.
He claimed his detectives restrained
the Kingfish from leaving town as
the latter had done several weeks
ago when the Lasky bout originally
was scheduled.
