world forget its troubles, Il Love

ious. of their e together.
The story, which makes for one
comedy situation coming fast on
the heels of another, deals with the
amusing plight of a man w h o.
through an accidental blow on the
head, RECEIVERS from an eight-year
attack of amnesia. When he re-
gains consciousness the world in
which he is living seems strange.
He has acquired a new personal.

terry factory and, more than that,
the reputation for being a model
citizen, and civic leader in a small
town called Habersville.
The fact that in his pre-amnesia
days he vas a high class conf
dence man adds humor to the al
ready side-splitting series of
events.
The role of Larry Wilson, alias
George Carey, is a happy choice
for the actor, allowing him to de.
part momentarily from the slick,
sophisticated detective roles of re-
cent films. Myrna 10y is also per-
mitted to depart from her per

"Of course that Is not true" de-
clared the A. B. G. Board chair
man.
Mr.. Hunter also told the COM
mittee had been told Mr.. Lodge
frequently took cases "out of the
hands" of the A. B. C. Board at

es himself.
II don't know what is meant by
that" replied the witness. II do

Immediately afterward Mr.. Hun
ter inquired If Mr.. Lodge had read
the series of articles appearing in
The Star, especially the one re-
lating to the "peddling" of IL
censes by brokers.
II have not read all of them, u
he replied, "but I have talked with
Mr.. Lerch."
Later Mr.. Hunter said the COM
mittee had been blamed for in
f1uencing the A. B. C.. Board to
issue two licenses recently and add
ed: Il don't think we should have
affected the board in any way"
He did not mention the two cases,
but obviously referred to the action
of the A. B. c. Board after the in
vestigation started in issuing licenses
to sell liquor by the drink to Leo
j. Rossiter and Ralph A. Lee, res
taurant proprietors. Prior to the
investigation the board had rejected
applications of Mr.. Rossiter and
Mr.. Lee.
Mr.. Lodge told the committee in
his general statement that any law
which governs so controversial a
subject as liquor is bound to bring
criticism
THE primary purpose of the law
and consequently of the board is to
protect the public interest,"" he de-
clared. There is a secondary pur-
pose in the act and that is to pro-

down with 1t and discuss the liquor
law. We give licensees every con-
sideration."
Some committee members feel,
Representative Eberharter said,
there have been very many abuses"
in the transfer of licenses and if that
privilege is forbidden it would have
the effect of reducing the number
of places where liquor is sold.
Mr.. Lodge said it is perfectly
proper" to transfer a license and
that he is not opposed to this prac-
tice Il don't think it would be fair
to say to man he couldn't trans
fer his business to another part of
town." he declared.
Its been said" continued Chair
man Eberharter, that new pur-
chasers are willing to pay anywhere
from $1,000 to SIS 900 for a class A
license. (Class A dealers are those
that sell by the bottle. The license
fee for this class of dealer is $750 a
year,
There have been a lot of rumors
about prices paid for transfers" ex-
planned Mr. Lodge, but I don't
know anything about it. A person
who holds class A license has
something of value because the num-
ber is limited to 400"
Representative Eberharter wanted
to know what Mr.. Lodge considered
a reasonable price" for a transfer.
He replied he did not know, but
pointed out the boards records
showed that one license was trans
ferred recently for $4,000. Good
will, of course, he said, is a factor in
the price, and in the case of the $l0,-
600 transfer the store which sold the
license was doing business amount
ing to nearly $50,000 a year.
Questioned further about reports
OF transfers at prices ranging from
between $4,000 and $4,000 the A.
B. c. board chairman replied:
Il don't believe there is any foun-
dation for such rumors."
Mr.. Lodge expressed the opinion
that 400 class A stores are too many
for both the welfare of the dealers
and the public, but pointed out the
only way to reduce the number
would be for dealers to surrender
licenses voluntarily or for the board
to revoke them for cause. But, he
added, that would take long time u
Denies Effort to Reduce Stores.
Mr.. Eberharter asked Mr.. Lodge
whether he had ever said he planned
to reduce the number of class A
stores to 300.

he declared. its certainly not
borne out by the facts"
Next, Mr.. Eberharter asked if

answered Our staff is devoted

"1t goes without saying that in

We are performing that function.
1T Is my purpose to continue to
