Virginia Will Reopen
State Liquor Stores
Next Thursday
Rotionine Registration
Extended as Process
Proves to Be Slow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Jan. 29-State houol
stores, which stopped sales a week
ago last night, will resume business
Thursday when registration for
liquor ration books is expected to be
about complete.
The stores originally were to re-
open Monday, but the board said it
had undereStimated the time it
would take clerk to register an ap-
plicant for a coupon book. The
board expressed belief that the
three-day extension would allow
time for a full registration.
The board said it was considering
suggestions that registrants prepare
their own application forms before
presenting them to the issuing clerk
At present, clerks are filling out the
forms after first receiving positive
documentary Identification of the
applying individual. This takes 8 to
II minutes.
Approximately 10000 of an ex-
pected total of 100000 registrants
are being handled daily. Other
means of speeding registration are
being studied.
When sales are resumed February
4 under the rationing plan, all regis
trationS will be suspended except for
transients. Under the original plan
civilian registrations would have
been resumed again February 8, but
no decision has been reached or
this point.
The board also has not yet an
nounced how much liquor will be
allotted each ration book holder
per week. This will be determined
later on the basis of the number
Of registrants and the supply or
hand.
The board Offices here have been
flooded with calls for liquor for sick
persons. A spokesman said it was
unable to do anything about fur
nishing medicinal whisky as its
stocks are supposed to be for bev-
erage purposes, rather than fol
medicine.
The inquiries brought to light the
fact that not a single Richmond
drugstore has a permit to sell
! whisky. During prohibition Is Rich
mond drugstores were licensed tc
sell spirits on prescription of a ply

Commission Urqes
Revision Of Liquor
Laws in Maryland
Shorter Hours of Sale,
Stricter Enforcement
Favored by Group

Ey tne Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 29.-The first
broad revision of Maryland's liquor
laws since repeal was recommended
yesterday by an 18man commits
sion, which announced that a bill
embOdylng the suggested changes
would be offered shortly in the As
Sembly.
The principal changes in the
present system would include the
appointment of a State liquor COM
missioner to direct law enforcement,
to provide for appeals from rulings
Of local boards to the courts, and to
shorten somewhat the hours of sale.
In addition, a State police force
detail would be provided to aid the
liquor commissioner in uncovering
violations of the laws.
The commission, headed by Will
liam r. McClayton of Baltimore, was
appointed by Gov. O'Conor in No
vember and since that time has
been comforting with State and local
officials and holding public hear
ings on various phases of the prob
lem.
Since the commission was ap-
pointed by the Governor, it was
assumed that the proposed bill
would be supported in its essential
phases by the administration, al
though there was no comment on
the report from the executive Of
fees yesterday.
AT the outset we wish to express
the opinion" the commission said,
after study of other liquor laws
throughout the country, that the
fundamental policy and the essen
tial groundwork of the Maryland
laws controlling alcoholic beverages
are sound, sensible and should be
preserved.
I'm order to preserve it, however,
we are firmly of opinion that en-
forcement of the law throughout
the State must be measurably in
creased"
Principal recommendations of the
report:
That State liquor commissioner
be appointed by the Governor to
have supervision over enforcement.
That The State Police Department
assign portion of its force, consist
ing of not more than 10 officers, to
be known as the alcoholic beverage
enforcement division of the State
police and to aid the commissioner.
That the systems of handling the
issuance, suspension and revocation
of licenses followed by the various
counties be standardized as far as
possible.
That appeals from the local boards
rulings be taken to the circuit courts
and to City Court in Baltimore.
That hours of sale be shortened to
provide Week-night closing at am.
and that no sales be permitted on
Sundays between ! a m. and pm.
That package sales be divorced
from sales by the drink and that
package stores close at 9 pm. in
stead of midnight.
That the term restaurant" be
abolished so far as license classifiCa-
ton in Baltimore City is concerned.

Arlington Official TO Base
Gas Tickets on Car Pools

Declaring there is mo longer such
a thing as an individual car" Mrs.
c. F. Clayton, Arlington County
gasoline rationing official today

be participants of car-sharing pools
or must be able to furnish proof of
their inability to share their auto

Mrs. Clayton said all passenger
cars now are part of the United
States transportation system" and
added that they must be pooled in
so far as possible in order to con-
serve materials and keep the system

Motorists who apply at the board
Offices for B and G ration books
must be either members of car
sharing pool, or must furnish in
disputable proof of their inability
to become a car-Sharer," Mrs. Clay
ton said.
Mrs. Clayton explained that sup
Elementary books which were mailed
to motorists carried a warning that
car owners must form driving pools
in order to renew their ration books

Army and Navy
Induction Pool
Permits Choices
AlI-Service Druft
To Go Into Effect
On Monday

Draft-age men will start going to-
induction stations jointly operated
by the Army and Navy Monday
when the all-service draft goes into
effect.
The long-awaited announcement
Of procedure in filling the calls of
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard was announced yester-
day by the Selective Service Bureau
of the War Manpower Commission.
1t allows men to volunteer for in
duction ahead of their order num-
bers. indicating the choice of serv-
ice they prefer, and in general per-
mits registrants to express prefer
enceS.
A method has also been worked
out to give all services an equal
opportunity to get men of the
same physical standards, although
the Army may accept some regis
trants whose minor physical defects
prevent them from meeting the
standards agreed on by all services.
The new single set of standards is
higher than that now applied by
the Army.
Single, Combined Calls.
Under the new program, Army
and Navy acquisitions will be corn
bined in Selective Service National
Headquarters and each call placed
on the States and local boards will
be a combined single call for a
stated number of men.
Registrars will be sent to jointly
operated induction stations where
they will be physically examined by
Army and Navy personnel. Men who
meet the physical standards agreed
on by both services will be assigned
proportionately, whether the call is
filled or not.
AS explained by Selective Serv-
ice, if in the combined call the
Army asked for 10000 men and the
Navy for 10000, and only four
fifths of that number, or 10000
registrants met the physical re-
quirements, the Army would be as
signed $4,000 men, or four -flfths of
It's original request, while the Navy
would be assigned $4,000 men, or
! four -fifths of its call.
This apportionment, it was ex-
planned, applies only to the men who
meet the single set of physical
standards agreed on by both serv-
ices. The Army may accept men
with minor defects after the appor-
tionment of general service men on
an induction day. Registrants not

Blast at Bill TO Give

Gill Claims Leagues
Protest Emunutes From
VuciIIoting' Leader

James w. Gill, chairman of the
Montgomery County delegation to
the Maryland State Legislature, to-
day condemned a recent protest of
the Greater Kensington Civic
League against a bill now before
the Legislature giving the County
Board of Commissioner wide pow
ers to meet war emergencies and
postwar planning,
Mr.. Gill described the leagues S
action as little more than the
opinion Of its leader, Washington 1.
Cleveland, who as usual is vacillat~
ing in the wind"
Only Partial Plan.
Mr.. Gill charged that in the re-
cent county elections Mr.. Cleveland,
a leader of the county charter
movement, proclaimed publicly that
1T should not be necessary to go
to Annapolis for purely local legis-
lation," and that "all local matters
should be left with the County
Council, which would, if the charter
is adopted in 1914, supersede the
county commissioners"
Mr. Gill pointed out that the
pending bill is only a partial plan
to delegate to the county commits
sionerS local autonomy in certain
financial powers. He said Mr.. Cleve-
land Is the first to complain of a
measure designed to do the very
thing he insisted should be done in
the election"
Unless legislation is provided
at this session of the Legislature, y
he continued, no funds may be
spent by the commissioners for
studies or plans looking toward pub
lie improvements in Montgomery
County during the next two years
of the war"
Cites Achievements.
Mr.. Gill declared the Demo
cratic County Commissioners have
placed the county government on
-you-go' basis" He saic
they have paid off S767OO0 of ma
turing county bonds during 1910

new bonds for that period.
