UPPER MARLBORO, Md, May
29-Beer and resettlement workers do
not mix, the Prince Georges County
Board of License Commissioners de-
cided yesterday.
Following lengthy hearing the
board declined to grant Mrs. Annie
w. johnson a license to operate q
beer stand at Branchville which she
admitted was primarily intended to
serve the men who are building
Greenbelt.
The board ALSO refused a license to
Connick Brady Of Mitchellville and
issued warnings to Emil c. Stamm,
operator of the Maryland Club Gar
dens, and Harry Kans of Capitol
Heights, who were summoned to ap-
pear because of complaints received
by the commissioners.
Worse Conditions Feared.
Licenses were granted to Thomas v.
Whalen of Brentwood, Margaret
Roney of Largo and Elijah A. Alden
OF Maryland Park despite opposition
voiced at hearings. Eighteen others
we're licensed without opposition.
In the johnson case, William H.
Brooke, chairman Of the board, said
the commissioners we're satisfied the
proposed beer parlor was not needed
in the community. Being a World
War veteran. Brooke pointed out that
the Government kept alcoholic bever-
ages away from cantonments during
the war.
Former County Commissioner Will
liam A. Duvall headed a delegation
which claimed numerous Greenbelt
workers are seen intoxicated in the
community now, and predicted another
beer saloon would make conditions
worse.
Hostile local sentiment also caused
the board to reject Brady's application
for a beer license.
Stamm was summoned before the
board because Inspector Bernard
Sweeney reported a patron Of the
Maryland Club Gardens threw bottle
at his head.
Summoned After Conviction.
Kans was summoned as a result OF
his conviction on charges of making
Sunday sales. Both were told that it
was the policy of the board merely to
issue warnings when initial complaints
are received, but to take more drastic
action if others followed.
John Luckett, also of Capitol Heights,
who was likewise convicted of Sunday
selling. will be given hearing next
Thursday. Luckett's hearing, sched-
uled yesterday, was postponed because
Of illness in his family.
John Romonano. Hyattsville dining
car operator, will be given a hearing
at the same time, according to James
s. Heal, clerk to the board. A citation
was issued for him on a citizens COM
plant, Mr.. Heal said.

clared today by Head Coach Jim

Carlos L. Henriquez, jr., COM
missioner of sports for the Re-
public Of Cuba, was a visitor in

with Pixlee, but the subject Of foot
ball was not discussed seriously,
said the Colonial coach, and George

and possibly a Yale massacre. And
then, suddenly, there was Yale in
complete charge of the game.

I might have felt, with any other
team. that the game was over. But
not this Yale team. I don't think
I've ever seen a finer exhibition of all
around play than Clint Frank gave.
He stopped Jack White twice storm
ing at our goal, only a step or two
away. His tackling was deadly. He
fought his way through a strong
Tiger line, he ran the ends and his
passing was magnificent.
"When you can hit the receiver
so yards away more than once
you are handling a foot ball.
Tad Wieman, Princeton's line
coach, was kind enough to say that
Franks all-around exhibition was
about the finest he had ever seen on
any field. Those passes from Frank
to Kelley not only gained a world
of ground, but they also broke up
Princeton's compact line defense and
gave Hessberg. Wilson, Ewart and
Frank, himself, chance to run
Ewart's 43-yard kick return and
Hessberg's 20-yard thrust through the
Princeton line were vital factors in
bringing us back, in keeping Yale in
the fight"
