DEALERS SEEK
SUNDAY BEER

ALEXANDRIA, Va. April Z.
In an effort to have the Sunday
beer ban for Alexandria lifted by
the Virginia A. B. C. Board, the
new Alexandria Beverage Dealers
Association will petition City
Council Tuesday to adopt q reso-
luton favoring sale of beer here
on Sundays, it was learned today.
Under its no-Sunday-beer ruling,
which became effective March /,
the State control board may lift
the ban on any locality where
sentiment, of the people is in
favor Of sale of beer all seven
days of the week, officials of the
association pointed out.
Although no precedent for the
procedure has been established to
date, the beverage dealers hope
that a resolution by the Council
will be sufficient to show the
sentiment of the people.
Since the Sunday beer ban has
been in effect, tavern keepers,
cafe managers and general store
keepers here have reported large
decrease in their Sunday business.

The Federal Government soon

ing q States Federal aid allot-
mcnt for roads by one-third.
Recently the Bureau Of Public
Roads applied the penalty to
Maryland, and now its statistical
experts are busy going over charts
to determine what other States
have diverted their road funds.
Action emanates from the Hay
den-C Cartwright Act Of 1884. This
measure condemned diversion OF
State road funds to other purposes.
Further, it provided that where
States have diverted those funds
money raised by gasoline, motor
vehicle taxes and the like-the
Federal aid allotment may be re-
duced by one-third.
No action was taken under this
statute until recently, because di-
version must have taken place sub
sequent to the laws enactment,
and State expenditure reports have
Just begun to come in. Officials
Of the road bureau said today, how
ever, that careful studies were uln-
der way and that in each case &C.
ton would follow evidence of viola
ton Of the Federal statute.
Under the diversion prohibition
clause, States were allowed to con-
tinue to divert amounts equal to
those already being diverted by
law when the Federal act went
into effect. The penalty clause
was to apply in cases where diver
sion was subsequently increased.
