Mrs Daisy La Coppidan of Mount

county defense council chairman
and likes the job.
What's more ,she is vindicating
the judgment of Representative
Sasscer, Democrat. of Maryland that
a woman can handle efficiently a
key position in the defense program.
Mr.. SaSScer said he selected Mrs.
La Coppidan for the post because
she is an indefatigable worker. He
also noted that she has had execu-
tive experience as an official of the
United Democratic Women's Clubs
of Maryland.
My observation has been that
women like Mrs. La Coppidan will
make things hum while many men,
even those with wide executive ex-
perience, are inclined to take such
responsibilities lightly" Mr.. Sasscer
said
AS head of the Prince Georges
County Defense Council, Mrs. La
Coppidan has been devoting prac-
tically all her spare time for sew
eral weeks to setting up a compre-
hensive organization to function in

aides serve without compensation.

Montgomery Board Upheld
In LIQUOR Permit Refusal
BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. Nov, 19.-Cir-
cult Court Judges Stedman Pres
colt and Charles w. woodward yes
terday upheld the Montgomery
County Liquor Control Board IN
it's refusal to issue liquor permit
to Raphael T. Ofutt of Potomac.
The case was the first OF Its
kind to be heard in Circuit Court.
Heretofore, appeals from decisions
of the liquor board had gone before
the State Liquor Board. Under
provisions of law passed by the
l94l Legislature, however, such ap-
peals are now argued in Curcuit
Court. The county liquor board
had held that issuance of the
license would unduly disturb the
peace and quiet of the neighbor-
hood.
Judge Prescott explained that the
new law is SC worded that if there
is any evidence supporting the find
ing of the liquor control board, the
latters decision is binding on the
court in any appeal brought before
