La Roe Fights Plan
To Permit Stand-U
Drinking in District
Church Committee Head
Urges Reynolds and
Randolph to Oppose 1t

Vigorous opposition to the pro-
posed change in District liquor
/ regulations to permit drinkers to
stand up at bars was voiced today
by Wilbur La Roe, jr., on behalf OF
the Committee on Civic Affairs OF
the Washington Federation OF
Churches.
In letters sent to Chairmen
Reynolds and Randolph of the
/ Senate and House District Com
mittees, Mr.. La Roe declared the
liquor control law already is too
liberal and warned that the sug-
eested change would bring a virtual
return of the old saloon.
Mr. La Roe. who is chairman OF
the Civic Affairs Committee. COM
mended Senator Reynolds for his
stand against the proposal and
urged Chairman Randolph to oppose
the change.
TT was with deliberate purpose"
Mr. La Roe told Chairman Reynolds.
that the Congress in drafting the
alcoholic beverage legislation for the
District of Columbia placed restric-
tions on the manner in which liquor
| should be dispensed. A particular
| objective was to prevent the return
of anything like the old saloon. The
| objection to the bar is something
more than psychological and senti-
mental. The bar is inevitably ac-
companied by formidable display
of liquor in bottles. After all, the
old saloon consisted mainly of bars
and bottles of liquor, with the bar
1 tender in charge. You are entirely
right that, these conditions would
all be restored if this legislation
should pass"
Public Demand Denied.
/ Mr.. La Roe said that when people
drink at a bar there is a natural
tendency to consume more liquor
than when 1t is served at a table.
/ and that the bartenders of old were
chosen for their ability to increase
the volume of sales" Then he
added:
There is no public demand for
this change. Like all such pro-
! poSals, it emanates with the liquor
| gang here, which is increasingly
powerful because of the enormous
consumption and the huge profits
under the loose liquor laws now in
effect here. The total consumption
easily exceeds s25 100000 annually.
and exceeds twice the total cost of
| our public school system.
| Mr.. La Roe said any legislative
step should be in the direction OF
tightening the laws, and requested
an opportunity to testify if this
undesirable proposal goes to hear
! ing.
Randolph's Record Praised.
In his letter to Representative
Randolph, Mr.. La Roe said:
The public press reports you as
saying that you do not drink liquor
yourself (hurrah for that and that.
therefore. you see no reason why
you should take a stand on this
! question.
Il have followed your work for a
number of years, with great deal
of satisfaction, and never before
have I seen you take stand of this
kind. In every other case you
have approached problems from the
standpoint of public interest, re-
gardless of your personal interest.

careful thought, that this is not a
personal issue, but that an important
