Raleigh. April 14.-The Brew
ers and North Carolina Beer Dis
tributors Committee today re-
quested city and county officials
OF AShe county to scrutinize cure
fully ~an applications for retail
beer licenses to the end that the
industry may be purged of illegal
or undesirable outlets"
Edgar H. Balm. of Goldsboro,
State Director in charge of the
beer industry's "clean up or close
up" campaign in North Carolina,
cited the statute which prohibits
the issuance of retail beer licenses
Uf persons guilty of liquor law
violations within the last two
years prior to the filing of the ap-
plicationD. He reminded that the
new tax year for beer licenses be-
gins May l.
'1n calling this section to your
attention" Colonel Balm wrote
city and county officials, eve res
pectfuIly urge you to refuse IL
censes to all dealers who cannot
comply with the law. We hope
that such dealers will be elimi-
mated for the welfare both of the
communities and Of the beer in
dustry, which pays more than
$11,OO0,0O0 annually in taxes and
wages in this state".
This letter to city and county
officials was another move in

small minority of beer dealers
who violate the law and public
decency, Colonel Balm said. He
