System Changes

Cut in SID Permits
Likely on May | If
Plans Are Approved
BY FRANK MORRIS
Times stan Correspondent

LANSING, March 30. - Sweep
ing changes in the liquor control
system, including an earlier clos
ing hour for saloons, are being
by state authorities as
an immediate wartime measure,
it was revealed today.
Included in the agenda IS a pro
-posal by Federal Judge Frank A
Picard, chairman of special
liquor investigating committee
that the state eliminate hundreds
of SID licenses, which entitle the
owners 10 sell whisky by the
bottle.

MIDNIGHT CURFEW

One recommendation before the
committee is that a midnight
liquor curfew be established for
the duration of the war. Another
is that the deadline be fixed al
| a. m, instead Of the present
> a. m.
The judges chief criticism Is the
states policy of surrendering re-
tail liquor sales TO SID Licensees
mainly druggists and grocers-
instead Of maintaining an effec-
tive state store system.
When Picard ran the liquor sys-
TEN. he issued only 400 SID
licenses and each holder was
limited to not more than 81 200 a
year profit. Today there are 1.56O
and the profit limitation has been

compensation for attending the
sessions but that no set amount
was agreed upon.
GOVERNORS o. X.
The SIS figure was apparently
set by Gov. Murray d. Van Wag-
oner who, according to Auditor
General Vernon j. Brown, told Col.
Harold a. Furlong to put Murphy
on the defense council pay roll
and allow him to submit expense
accounts including milegae fees be-
tween his home in Detroit and
Lansing.
Murphy referred all questions to
Kelly.
CAS- chairman Of the commit
tee, Kelly Is the one to talk
about such things" he said.
Kelly. however, said he knew
few details regarding the extra
pay and did not know it was to
come from the special $4,000, 900
war chest specifically established
for protection of the states civil
ian population until he read it in
newspapers.
"All know Is that Murphy
told one meeting OF the board
that he thought he deserved
some extra compensation and
mileage allowance for attending
the frequent meetings Of the de-
Tense committee.
FREQUENT MEETING
"As a member of the admins
tration board he only has to 60
to Lansing twice a month when
the legislature Is not I'm session
and because the committee Is
meeting as often as three and
four times a week he thought he
should have extra pay.
"The members of the commit
tee felt the same way and in
formally approved IL. This was
the last I heard of the matter"
Kelly said the other members of
the committee are not paid, but
they all drive state cars and are

BIG LOSS TO STATE

The loss in profits 10 the state
is more than S1400.000 a year.
Chairman Thomas said no
changes in the rules will be made
without approval of Governor Van
Wagner.
The governor will make the
final decision" he said.
After more than a month in
office, the new liquor commission
chairman said he has obtained
several ideas for improvements.
He said he will discuss them after
his conferences with the inveSti-
eating committee.
I'VE have made penalties
more severe than i'm the past"
Thomas said. II think this has
had a deterrent effect on those
saloon-owners who are inclined
to cheat"
Serving with Judge Picard on
the special committee are Harry
J. Rickel Of Mt Clemens, a mem
Der Of the original liquor control
commission, and Myron A. Keycs,
Detroit jeweler.

Baldwin cautioned against
the attitude that the United States
is re-fighting the Civil War rather
than an international war.
1T Is not too late, but Il Is
almost too late to win the war"
he said. AT this late date we
cannot afford TO make mistakes:
to accept less than an about
effort on all fronts"
Baldwin termed the war one oi
professionals versus amateurs. eX.
planning that for years Germany
and Japan had been mastering
their might for the present con.
flagration. As an example. he
pointed out that Japanese troops
can march 81 miles in-26 hours
virtually IN their sleep.
CONFLICT IN THEORIES
This is not a war merely be-
tween international powers" he
declared, but one between d.

there are certain problems de.

"The trouble IL not with the
law ITSELF" said the federal
Judge who write the statute and
was the first liquor control
chairman.
"A few changes may be nee
