Beverage Dealer Protests
Advertising Club Stand

Milton S. Kronheim, beverage
wholesaler and member of the Ad-
vertising Club of Washington, yes
terday filed sharp protest with the
club and with the Commissioners
against the clubs action in object
ing to the proposed new regulations
regarding liquor advertising drawn
up by the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board.
Those who framed the resolu-
tion," Mr.. Kronheim declared. may
know great deal about advertising.
They definitely do not know much
about the beverage trade"
He protested the arrogant as
sumption" by members of the board
of the club in speaking on such
matter without consultation of the
membership of the club as a whole"
He criticized the boards acting on a
question vitally affecting the bev-
erage industry without giving mem
bers OF the club who are interested
in that industry an opportunity for
discussion"
The Advertising Club earlier en-
tered protest with the Commission
ers and the A. B. C. Board against
the proposed rules governing the
size and type of signs and forbid
ding distribution of handbills
through the mails. Such rules. the
club said, would be discriminatory
against liquor advertisers.

Youth Seeking
Legislation Hikes
TOD. &. in Vain

A youth of 20, who had hitch
hiked from his home in Pennsyl-
vania, wandered into the House
District Committee rooms today in
search of Representative Flannery,
who represents his home district.
He explained that he wanted MIR.
Flannery to sponsor a bill that
would put him back in the Army.
When he enlisted, he said, the
recruiting officer checked his home
record and found it good. Asked If
he had ever been arrested, he said no.
But there was the matter of a
youthful indiscretion which he had
hidden. He and another boy once
took a car and drove down to Vir-
ginia. They were caught and served
time on corrective farm there.
+, After he had served nearly a
year, the Army found out about this
and recently he was dishonorably
discharged.
All the lad wants is a chance to
get back into the Army and earn
an honorable discharge. He has be-
come almost obsessed with the idea.
But 1t will take legislation, he was
told at home.
Attaches of the District Committee
tried to locate Mr.. Flannery, but
learned he was at homeless than
20 miles from where the youth lives.
Tho boy wsarily started on Q re-
turn hitching trek.
