Liquor Ration Rules
frightened in VIRGINIA
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, April 6.-The ABC
Board today had instructed its
stores division to require ABC clerks
to write the code number of each
purchase on the back of the ration
coupon and to place the coupons for
the days sales in an envelope to be
returned to the control Offices for
checking.
The ruling was made necessary
because of reports, never substan-
tiated by evidence, that some clerks
were favoring their close friends
by neglecting to tear the proper
coupons from books.
Clerks until now have been
allowed to destroy the coupon on
removal from the ration book.
Each clerks sales slips show the
number of the code sold, and cou-
pons must check under the new
system.
The board said it did not know
how long would be required for the
stores division to put the new in
structions into effect, but antici-
pated that it could be arranged
within the next day or two.
