LAW
CONFORMITY
SOUGHT

HYATTSVILLE, Md, Dec. 3.
In an effort to straighten out con-
flicting regulations regarding the
sale of light wines and beer in
Prince Georges county, John S.
White, delegate to the State legiS-
lature, today declared he would
sponsor legislation in the next ses-
sion of the assembly to make the
Federal and county regulations
conform.
The confusion arises, Mr.. White
says, out of the fact that the
county regulations governing the
retail sale of light wines and beer
place no restriction on the amount
of any one sale, whereas the Fed
eral regulations prohibit the sale
of more than five gallons at any
one time.
This condition virtually puts the
merchant between the devil and
the deep blue sea, Mr.. White said.
IF the retailer sells more than five
gallons, or So bottles Of beer at
time, he is still compiling with the
county regulations, while breaking
the restrictions Of his Federal
license.
Expressing the belief that a
number of the county retailers OF
beer and light wines are unaware
of the limitations imposed by the
Federal regulations, Mr.. White
said:
IT would like to give our retail
dealers every possible latitude, but
think it is wrong for them to be
in the defenseless position they
are in now.
1T is my intention in the next
session of the legislature to Spon-
sor legislation that will define the
quantity a retail merchant can
sell to keep him within the Federal
regulations"
The county liquor laws at
present impose only one restriction
as to the amount of beer and wine
that may be sold. This is the
regulation forbidding r taller
from selling to other retailers.
Mr.. White compared the present
situation with conditions during
prohibition under the local option
statute of 1917 which allowed one
quart Of spirituouS liquor q month
to person while the Federal law
forbade the purchase Of any such
liquor without special license.
