Liquor Dividend
For Holiday Buyers

Get Extra Rum ond Wine
Rotions During Decembel
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 25.-The
State Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board yesterday declared a Christ
mas dividend" to liquor ration
book holders.
Under the plan, the whisky pur-
chaser during December can get in
addition fifth of wine, the rum
purchaser may get two fifths cor
quarts, if available) instead of one
and the wine purchaser may get a
maximum of five quarts, the four
quarts or fifths his coupons call fo1
plus the bonus" package. d
Classification Given.
All distilled spirits other than run
are treated as whisky. These in.
clude brandies. gins and cordials
The wine involved in the procedure
Will be sherry, port, muscatel, tokay
and other wines which have an alco-
holic content Of more than IA pc,
cent.
The board explained it had been
able to buy rather large quantities
LOT rum during the recent whisky
shortage and felt itself able to lib
eralize the ration for the Christmas
season.
A limited quantity of heavy wines
also has accumulated due to the fact
that it is rationed and that most
ration book holders have shown a
preference for distilled spirits.
Basic Ration UNCHANGED,
The entire dividend" procedure
is based on the phrase IF the addi-
tional merchandise is available. It
Is indicated that If a considerable
number OF persons choose the two
portions OF rum to the one portion
OF whisky. the whisky-wine combi-
nation will be sufficient. If, on the
other hand, vast majority should
choose the whisky-wine combina-
tIon, the wine supply might run
short.
1t was emphasized that the basic
ration will remain unchanged and
that the additional merchandise
comes as bonus"

Moving Of Occupants
OF SIums 10 Nearby
Counties Opposed
Would Increase Relief
Burden, Sosscer and
BeoII Declare

Opposition to any slum clearance
program that would move slum
dwellers from the District into pub
lie housing developments in Mont
gomery or Prince Georges County
was expressed yesterday by Repre-
sentatives Sasscer, Democrat, and
Beall, Republican, both of Mary
land.
Mr.. Sasscer said he believed each
political subdivision should take
care of its own low-income groups,
and that no attempt should be made
to move them across boundary lines.
If slums were torn down here and
the occupants rehoused in nearby
Maryland, the relief burden on the
people of Maryland would be in
creased. he maintained.
The Maryland Representatives ex-
pressed their views while accom-
panying members OF Senate Dis
trict Housing Subcommittee on an
inspection tour of several war hous-
ing developments built by the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority,
John Ihlder, NcHA executive ON
Ger and proponent of a long grange
Sl00 ,000, 900 slum reclamation pro-
gram for the District, said he agreed
in general with Mr.. Beall and Mr.
Sasscer. He pointed out. however,
that some of the Districts slum
areas should be redeveloped as COM
mercial districts, and that If this
is done. vacant land must be found
on which to construct housing for
the former slum occupants.
Mr. Ihlder did not say whether
sufficient vacant land suitable for
this purpose could be found within
the District. It previously has been
said, however. that there is short
age of acreage on which housing
developments for colored persons
can be constructed.
Mr.. Sasscer remarked that public
housing in Maryland appears to be
adequate now"
Surely private housing can pick
up the problem in Maryland at this
point without the necessity of any
additional public projects" he said.
Mr.. Beall was emphatic in ex-
pressing his view that housing
should be in private rather than
public hands wherever possible.

One Of Worst Liquor

For Not Cooperating
BY ]. A, O'LEARY,

Calling the District of Columbia
lone of the worst spots in the coun-
try" In connection with liquor sale
complaints, Chairman Van Nuys OF
the Special Senate Investigating
Committee last night sharply criti-
cized the local Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board for failure to offer to
cooperate with the committee.
Asked to elaborate on his refer
ence to Washington as "one of the
worst spots" Senator Van Nuys said
he meant in practices" complained
Of, and added:
There are more tie-in sales
boarding of liquor, partiality in
sales. and, in my opinion, violations
of ceiling prices than in any city
I have heard from. and I have heard
from most large cities"
"Surprised" At Local Board.
Explaining he has had letters
offering cooperation from many
State officials, the Indiana Senator
said he Is "a little surprised" that
the local board closet to the COM
mittee has not come forward.
If they don't volunteer, we will
have them down here one of these
days. the chairman continued.
Thomas E. Lodge, chairman of the
District ABC Board. said the board
is "at the committees service at all
times"
I'VE will be delighted to cooperate
| in the investigation" Mr.. Lodge
added, but he withheld comment on
Senator Van Nuys' charge regarding
conditions in Washington.
Following three-hour conference
late Yesterday with Federal officials
including Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Wendell Berge. head of the
antitrust division of the Justice De-
partment, Senator Van Nuys an
nounced appointment of Floyd ]
Mattice as chief counsel to the com
mittee. The committee also an.
nounced selection of Oliver B. Lerch
lawyer and writer of this city, as
an investigator.
Early Hearing Possible.
Senator Van Nuys said there Is
possibility that early hearings may
be held to determine to what exten,
the supply of bottles is affecting the
amount OF liquor available for sale
He said the claim has been made
that bottle shortage is responsible
for the situation. because bottlers
are restricted to IS per cent of their
former quotas.
| Il don't know whether it is true
or not, but it is one of the ques-
tions we will inquire into" said the
Senator.
The committee chairman also said
he thought the Securities and Ex-
change Commission could investi-
gate fluctuations in liquor securities
on the stock market.
| Various Federal agencies are as
sisting the committee in the collec-
ton of information, and some of it
may be available to the committee
next week. he said.
Mr.. Mattice is giving up his duties
as clerk to the Senate Judiciary
Committee to become counsel to the
