A. B. T.. Board Action
To Halt Sale 10
Minors Demanded
Representative Sheppard
Sees Dispensory System
For D. G. as Alternative

Representative Harry r. Shep-
pard, Democrat, of California served
notice today that unless the Alcohol
Beverage Control Board cleans ur
the bad spots in the District liquor
situation" he would renew his move
to put retail liquor stores out Of
business and substitute a so-called
dispensary system similar to that
in operation in Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania and other States. &
A resolution introduced by Mr.
Sheppard at the last regular ses-
sion of Congress calling for an in
vestigation by the House District
Committee to determine the ad-
visibility Of adopting a dispensary
system for the sales1f Liquor by the
package in Washington Is stM pend
ing before the House Rules Com
mittee. The Commissioners, under
his plan. would control the dis
pensaries.
Action Might Halt Bill.
II do not propose to seek action
on my resolution If the Alcohol
Beverage Control Board cleans up
the bad spots without delay" said
Mr.. Sheppard.
Sale of liquor to minors and the
telephone delivery service furnish
ed by some retail liquor dealers
Representative Sheppard regards a.
the bad spots" under the present
liquor control setup. The telephone
delivery service, he said, makes
liquor "easily" procured by minors
Just several nights ago, Mr.. Shep-
pard pointed out. he was visiting
friends in an apartment house ir
Washington and observed mes
senger for liquor store turn over
a bottle of whisky to a boy in his
teens
Dispensary Seen IS Cure.
That's the worst evil of the
present liquor control system in
Washington" he declared. High
school children can get liquor merely
by calling up a liquor store ano
order it delivered. A dispensary
system would stop that practice"
Mr.. Sheppard also declared the
number of automobile accidents in
Washington in which minors are in
volved is appalling" to him. He said
he is confident liquor must be re-
sponsible for some of these acci.
dents.

DR. TOWNSEND'S UNI PAID INCOME TAX

The tidy sum of $20,4l2 is claimed by the Federal govern tnent as additional and unpaid taxes on the 1886 personal in- come of Dr. Frances E. Town send. The news does not reveal on how much of that years in- come the good doctor paid tax es; but adding x to the amount which he is now charged with having failed to render account, and the total must have been very large indeed.
 Dr. Townsend has had his ups and downs in the matter of per sonal income since he started out with the promise to get $200 or more a month for each and ev- cry "senior citizen" but the to- tai take must have been enor- mous. No need to question the honesty of such earnings since the money, once set moving kept on coming in vountary flow. At the same time it is a bit disheart ening to realize that one of the country's big incomes is derived from the pitably small means of the country's aged people.-Seat- tie Times.

ALASKA LEGION STANDS BEHIND TERRITORIAL
 NATIONAL GUARD MOVE

Alaska's National Guard be- came the first promotional objec tive of the American Legion's 1e4l program of "Americanism" in the Territory.
 Establishment and mainten- ance of a National Guard in the Territory was endorsed by the Alaska Department of the Legion as one of the major resolutions passed during the 1940 conven- tion in Juneau last week.
 Don Adler, Chairman of the Americanism committee and inn mediate past department com mander, made clear the Legion's stand on the defense body move ment in a statement he carried to his home Dorman H. Baker Post No. II.
 Training Necessary
 The military power of a na- tion," said the Legion official, consists of the economic resourc es of that nation converted into such shape as to be used for mili- tary purposes. And the most inn portant resource is manpower That manpower, however, un- trained, is not a military power but a direct liability. We must bear in mind that weapons of all kinds tanks, machine guns, airplanes, artillery and all other types of weapons are valuable only to the degree of the train ing of the men who use them.
 "Uncle Sam can spend a billion billion dollars on defense equip nnent, yet, if we haven't the train ed manpoWer to manipulate that equipment of what use is it to us?"
 The Americanism chairman em phasized the need for a standing army, with the regular army and the National Guard as principal parts.
 Preparedness Stressed
 Said Adler:
 Alaska particularly needs a National Guard, consisting of young men acquainted with con ditions in the Territory. With a good knowledge of the topo- graphy and weather conditions of the country, plus a good work ing knowledge in the handling of modern war equipment, an Al aska National Guard will give us the nucleus of ample protection. Parents must not entertain the idea that sending a son into the National Guard is the first step in sending him to war. Am erica does not want war, and as ong as the people of these Unit Ad States have anything to say ,bout it we're going to keep out ,f war. But we are living in an ,ra of war and it is impossible or us to be sure that war won't ,e forced upon us by some ag-
