ABC Board Opposes
Rationing Of Liquor;

Commissioners PIunnino
Public Hearings Soon
On Recommendations

The Commissioners and the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today issued a Joint
statement in which they said
public hearings would be held
at a very early date" on de-
tailed recommendations made
by the liquor board to make
available more widely spread
distribution of liquor merchan-
disc now available in the Dis
trict.
AL the same time the ABC board
announced as a policy that it would
not recommend rationing of whisky
since 1T was not prepared legally tn
40 so and lacked the means OF en-
forcement.
once Its recommendations have
oeen reduced to writing py the ABC
board, hearings will be ordered.
Highlights of Recommendations
Hlghlights of the recommended
tions made by the board to the
commissioners follow:
AN increase in the number of per-
NIT inspectors to the board which
now has only three inspectors, and
detailing OF "a limited number of
ponce officers to check the books of
licensees on their revenues, and nos
siole violations of general laws and
regulations. The ABC board was
instructed to confer with Budget
o1ncer Walter L. Fowler on the ap-
preparation for new inspectors.
The regulations should be amend
ed so that retailers will be required
TO display certain percentage of
their whiskies on their shelves as
IS now required in South Carolina
and Tennessee. This does not mean
however, that a dealer has to sell
to anybody.

HEADQUARTERS, Dec 6 Ry.-
Australian troops with the aid OF
artillery and air cover pressed
steadily toward Wareo on the stra
tegic Huon Peninsula of New Guinea
today after repulsing three japanese
counterattacks.
The Aussies, victors of Sattleberg
four bitter miles to the south, turned
back the counter thrusts Saturday
with the help of artillery. Attack
planes ripped up the Japs' rear

by the likelihood of early support

Mild Form Of Flu

Stress AiIment Is Not
Some Type os FotoI
'Pondemic' of 1918
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS.

A mild form of influenza
which has been increasing in
Washington and vicinity re-
Gently, now has reached what
appears to be epidemic stage
according to officials of the Dis
trict Medical Society.
Neither doctors nor officers of the
District Health Department were
alarmed, however, over prospects OF
the disease developing into the fatal
"pandemic" of 1918 which swept
the country with high death rates.
DR.. George C. Rutland, District
health officer. conferred with some
OF his aides at the District Building
shortly before noon to discuss the
situation. He planned to issue a
statement later in the day with
recommendation to the public.
Pharmacies Swamped.
Pharmacies are being swamped
with orders for prescriptions, ac-
cording to druggists. The only all
night drugstore in the city, at
Thomas Circle. did land -office
business last night. Owing to the
shortage of pharma cists, it has not
been possible to open any other
stores, according to Augustus C.
Taylor, president of the Board of
Pharmacists. and Louis F.. Bradley
president of the District Pharma-
ceutical Association.
The demand for prescriptions is
almost as great as that during the
1918 epidemic, said DR.. Taylor, who
also is an official of the People S
Drug Stores.
In his capacity as president of
the Board of Pharmacists, DR.. Tay-
lor has asked the District Minimum
Wage Board to permit women phar-
macists to work more than 48 hours
a week. But no decision has been
reached, he said. Men pharmacists
are working much longer than 48
hours a week, he said. The supply
of drugs in the city is adequate for
an emergency, he indicated.
Thousands of Cases.
Dr. William De Kleine, chairman
of the Public Health Committee of
the Medical Society. said today there
are thousands of influenza cases in
the city. He warned patients to
stay in bed during the fever which
accompanies the disease.
The trouble began about 10 days

Charter Principles Reaffirmed
After expressing their respect for
Trans independence and territorial
integrity, and promising economic
aid to that country which has fa-
cilitated the flow of Allied supplies
to Russia, the three leaders said:
They tthe United States, Britain
and Russia count upon the partici-
patton Of Iran together with all
other peace loving nations in the
establishment of international peace,
security and prosperity after the
war in accordance with the princi-
Piles of the Atlantic Charter. to
which all four governments have
continued to subscribe
The Atlantic Charter declaration
by President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill after their sea
rendezvous in August, 1910. set out
these general Allied principles and
postwar aims:
l. They seek no territorial or other
aggrandizement.
2. No territorial changes which
do not accord with the freely ex-
pressed wishes of the people con-
cerned"
3. Respect for the right of all peo-
Piles to choose their own form Of
government: restoration of "sov-
ereign rights and self government"
