the country on Government regula-
tion of business, especially with ref
erence to the antitrust laws. was
asked by the United States Chamber

Member organizations were asked
to express themselves on these sug-
gestions::
ANY proposals having for their

governmental agencies should be op-
posed.
The patent system should be
maintained without impairment, in
cluding freedom of patentees to
grant licenses restricted as to use
Existing remedies under the

manner.
Proposals for addition of more
civil remedies to the antitrust laws
should be opposed.

New Year Eve to See Parties
In Night Clubs Despite Sunday
Many Capital Spots Schedule Celebrations;
Some to Be Dark, However ......

But the Legislature. in revising the
law this wear. so vorded 1t that
drinks can be sold for one hour,
from midnight to / am. New Year
eve, and then not until 6 am. jan
uary 2.
But in Allen County. site Of
metropolitan Fort Wayne, the prose-
cutor has announced that nobody
will be arrested for selling liquor
January l.
Other States Have Bans.
In Florida there is no State ban
on Sunday liquor sales. but many
cities have laws forbidding sales be-
tween midnight Saturday and 6 a m.
Monday. In Ohio liquor sales may
start Sunday midnight, but some
cities in the State have midnight
curfew.
In Connecticut you may buy
drinks at table from Sunday noon
on. But you can't drink at the bar
until midnight.
There are few reports of special
law adjustments to fit the time of
l940's arrival. The typical State
situation seems to be: No liquor
sales before midnight.
In Michigan, where there has
been agitation to extend the usual
m. curfew to 4, Gov. Luren Dick
inson remarked
They'll get enough to drink if
they don't have those extra two
hours. THEY'LL have to drink faster,
that's all"

Turkey Draw
BY a STAFF Correspondent Of The star.


ALEXANDRIA. Va, Dec. 23.-
There are too many officers and not
enough men on the Alexandria
police force when it comes to draw
ing for three large turkeys annually
donated by Judge James r. Duncan.
After court session yesterday
Judge Duncan put the names of 46
policemen in an envelope and Pvt.
Clifford Dodd was elected to do the
drawing. First he drew the name
of 1t. Edgar Simms and then the
name of 1t. H. j. Thompson. This
was being too partial. according to
the judges way of thinking. He
charged Corpl. George Elmore 20
reach in and find the name of
somebody in the lower ranks.
Corpl. Elmore retired in con-
fusion when he drew the name of
Capt. John S. Arnold.
That's too much," roared Judge
Duncan. His name wasn't even
supposed to be in there" He ruled
the draw null and void and on the
next draw out came the name of
Chris Gill of the city jail, who was
declared a winner.
As Christmas gifts, Judge Duncan
freed nine short-term prisoners.
