Methods Of Withdrawal
by DistiIIer Agents Illegal
BY DON GARDNER
Times stan Correspondent

LANSIN Feb. 12.-With
drawals of large quantities Of liquol
by distillers agents 10 provide
drinks for politicians was con
demned today by former liquor
commissioner Alva NJ. Cummins
who said he stopped the practice
in 1910.
Cummins was made a member
OF the commission by former Gov
ernor Dickinson and served as th'
Democratic m m b er. Although
personally dry. he was known az
a liberal where the drinking o.
others was concerned.
"Soon after 1 went on the
commission I was asked for an
opinion on the legality of the So
called Withdrawals of liquor,
since I was a lawyer" he said.
LIQUOR FOR GIFTS
az learned that the euphoniOus
withdrawal was merely a name
for allowing distillers' agents TO
purchase liquor for gift purposes
at the same price the state paid
for II.
THE records will show the
practice was stopped. but appar-
emily IL was revived Immediately
after Governor Van Wagner
carried out his prediction prom
ise to clean up on that gang
meaning the liquor commission
of which 1 was then a member.
"Of course the practice was
illegal. The liquor had been
bought by the state. II was the
states property and no one had
the right TO withdraw any part
OF H. The only way any one
could get any of IL legally was
TO buy II and pay the states
price.

During the last few months, /
has been the rule of the liquor
commission that every distiller'S
agent was entitled 10 draw max.
imum of five cases a month.
Clare NJ. MacNaughton, con.
troller. said this maximum figure
was seldom taken advantage Of by
the u agents doing business witt
the state.

From President Philip Murray

came the promise that american
labor dedicates itself above all TO
increased and intensified effort to
support the glorious offensive OF
our armed forces and to speed the
day of total victory over the Axis. y
"The success and advances Of the
armies of the United Nations,
Murray said, must lead to no let
down Of effort on our home front.
On the contrary. every such ad-
vance increases the tempo of con-
flict and leads to ever-greater de-
mands on war production and sup
plies.
american labor must match
every forward step by our fight
ing men with increased effort and
enthusiasm to bring our boys
home victorious at the earliest
possible moment and with the
least possible casualties"
