Selling Liquor to High School Boys, Girls Starts
 Crusade in Connecticut

Action in ell the large cities of the state by inspectors of the state liquor commission is expected as the result of arrests in Bridgeport this week of liquor permittees charged with selling alcoholic beverages tc minors. Bridgeport police instituted Q campaign after numerous com- plaints that high school boys and girls were patronixing liquor estab- lishments.
 No sooner had the arrests been made than Edward ]. Ryan, other- wise E. Jackson Ryan of Thomas ton, informed the public that the offending permittees were restau- rant men, not tavern owners. MT Ryan, it might be mentioned, is secretary of the Connecticut Tavern Owners association.
 Mir. Ryan Speaking
 Secretary Ryan issued the follow. ing statement:
 "Our own staff of inspectors will be sent into the city this week to secure evidence of viola tions of the liquor control act Our association is more than will- ing to work in conjunction with state and local authorities to end the violations characterizing many liquor establishments.
 However, the cases in city court on Wednesday morning were not tavern owners, as the newspapera reported, but restaurant owners Each of the accused hold c restau- rant permit and under the liquor control act there is nothing to pro- hibit Q child in the arms of it's mother from being brought to a restaurant. The law does prohibit minors from entering taverns.
 "Many of the 50 called restaur- ants in various parts of the state, have been closed for violations similar to the ones now involved and in every case they were rec ferred to aS tavernS."
