Van Nuys Seeks Aid
OF Liquor Boards 10
Curb Black Market
BY the Associated Press,


Commencing Federal agencies fol
falling in line" with congressional
efforts to wipe out bootlegging and
black markets In whisky, Senator
Van Nuys. Democrat of Indiana
called today for the same kind OF
cooperation from local enforcement
officers"
Senator Van Nuys. chairman of a
special Senate committee investi-
eating the liquor supply situation
said reports from his investigator
indicated local boards could be a
big help by revoking licenses Of deal
ers who sell above ceiling prices OF
who require their customers to buy
wines and rum with liquor pur-
chaSes.'
Senator Van Nuys disclosed that
the committee may sponsor legisla
ton to permit distilleries to market
whisky of less than 100 proof as
bonded liquor to increase the avail
able supply.
Under the present law, no whisky
less than four years old or under
100 proof can be bottled-in- bond" "
he said. There are 100000 gal
Ions of l00-proof whisky at least four
years old in Government warehouses.
II We permit a reduction of the proof
to 80, we'd add about 25.OO0 900 or
more gallons to the Immediately
available supply
Senator Van Nuys said he also
would revive proposal TO reduce
from eight to four years the period
in which whisky may remain in
storage free of tax despite its re-
lection by the Senate Finance Com
mittee. II to 2. Chairman George
OF the Finance Committee said he
would support the amendment on
the Senate floor when the tax bill
is called up for debate.
The Treasury reported Yesterday
that November Withdrawals OF
whisky from storage as 5.572OO0
gallons, up 2l4.00O from the month
before and the fourth consecutive
monthly increase. Stocks on hand
now total 392,O63 900. compared

variety of proposed changes in the
bill and to suggest a revised meas
ure to the full District Committee.
He said he had not determined
yet whether it would be advisa BILE
or necessary for the committee or
the Senate to pass a resolution pro-
v1dlng for referendum, but that he
believed it would be we'll to submit
the hnal draft to the people for
their reactions before it is brought
up for action in the Senate.
A majority of witnesses before the
subcommittee declared Washington
should be granted suffrage and most
OF them approved at least in prin-
ciple the McCarran plan for an
elected city council-city manager
form-though this was not unani-
nous. A majority spoke also for ma
tional representation in Congress for
the disfranchised District but were
told this subject was not before the
District Committee.
Wide Difference Of Opinion.
There was wide difference OF
opinion on many questions involved
in the McCarran plan. two of the
most important being who would be
considered entitled to vote, and
whether the thousands of Govern
ment workers and others maintain
ing legal residence in their home
State would be willing to give up
their State and Federal voting rights
in exchange for the privilege of vot-
ing for District Commissioners OF
councilmen.
Senator Burton has warned that
Congress is unlikely to permit resi-
dents to vote here if they claim vot-
ing rights in the States. He, there
fore, has suggested at least a mi

appointed by the President to repre-

According to Treasury spokesmen

and the torpedo station began de-
veloplng late yesterday and a check
OF local dealers showed that the
Steuart company alone was able To
step into the breach. they said. Ac-
cordirely Government trucks were
sent to the Steuart plant late last
night to rush supplies to the three
institutions.
The fuel oil involved is of the
bunker type. not the household Va
riety
The Steuart company has been
under OPA fire since last winter
when 1t is alleged to have violated
the ratlonlng regulations during the
fuel Oil shortage. Charges were filed
against the company by the OPA
and during hearings before OPA
Hearing Commissioner Clifford
Snlder. Carl w. Bereuffv, assistant
District OPA enforcement attorney
called for suspension of the com
panys license. He asserted that
other Washington dealers coulc
easilv handle the company's busi-
ness.
This claim was vigorously denied
by the company. which cited the fact
that the Government itself had
turned to it last winer for relief
supplies when a State Department
representative appealed to it to re-
lieve emergencies at the Soviet EN-
bassv and Sumner Welles' OXon Hill
home.
The charge that suspension of the
Steuart firm could be ordered with
out undue hardship to the public
was renewed by John l.. Laskev
District OPA enforcement attorney
at a hearing December 18 before
OPA Hearing Administrator Talbot
Smith. who is now considering ap-
peals Of both the District OPA and
the Steuart company from the hear
ing commissioners decision. This
cleared the company of charges of
fuel oil shortages and miscounting
coupons. but found it guilty of ac-
cepting fuel oil from the Petrol
Corp. of Philadelphia without giving
coupons.
The hearing commissioner ordered
that the firms operations be limited
to its customers as of December
for the period Of one year. Arguing
that this would permit the company
to retain the customers OF other oil
