Committee Refuses
To Halt District
Liquor Inquiry
Schofer's Charge Of
Exceeding Authority
Is Rejected

The House District Committee to-
day refused to call an abrupt halt In
the investigation Of the liquor con-
troll situation here as demanded by
Representative Shafer, Republican,
OF Michigan, who had charged the
special subcommittee conducting
the inquiry had exceeded its au-
thorized authority.
Subcommittee Chairman Eber-
harter said the inquiry would pro-
coed without further delay, and In
dicated the scope would not be re-
stricted. Another public hearing
will be held tomorrow at 10 an.
Other Mattefs Also Discussed.
Mr.. Eberharter made his an
nouncement following an hours
executive session Of the committee
at which the liquor probe was dis
eslssed as well as several other mat
tiers pending before the committee,
including the bill Of Representative
Cooley, Democrat, of North Carolina,
which would repeal the local income
tax law.
The committee also considered a
request by Mrs. M. o. Lorenz, presi-
dent Of the District League of
Women Voters, and Mrs. Ruth Bu-
chanan that bill permitting minors
to take part in professional concerts
or theatrical performances be re-
called from the House calendar for
further consideration. But at the
executive session the committee re-
fused to grant the request.
Aside from refusing to order the
special liquor investigating SUBJ
committee to. end its activities. the
committee, behind closed doors, also
directed its subcommittee on fiscal
affairs to begin consideration of the
Cooley income tax repeal bill and
other proposed amendments to the
income tax law within the next
week. The proposed changes In the
income tax law, 1t was said, will be
considered In executive session.
Discussion over developments in
the liquor investigation was not re-
vealed by committee members.
Chairman Randolph, however, said
the investigating , subcommittee
would proceed. as formerly directed.
Kennedy Intended Sweeping Probe.
Fate Of the liquor investigation had
been in the balance since last Thurs
day when Mr.. Shafer charged at the
last public hearing of the investi-
eating subcommittee that 1t had
gone beyond its Jurisdiction. He
contended the subcommittee was
created to inquire only into the cases
Of Leo j. Rossiter and Ralph A. Lee,
restaurant proprieto&, whose L.
censes to sell liquor by the drink
had been denied by the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board. Since
these licenses were subsequently is
sued, he argued the investigating
subcommittee had no authority to
proceed further.
Representative Kennedy, Demo-
crat, Of Maryland, who inspired the
investigation, has insisted, however,
he intended the subcommittee to
make q sweeping inquiry into the
entire liquor control situation and
the practices Of the A. B. G. Board
In issuing and renewing licenses.
