August Whisky RatioI
Is Virtually Doubled
By Virginia ABC
Action Taken in Effort
To Prevent Queues and
Move Surplus Fifths
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, July 26.-The ABC
liquor rations for August will be
virtually doubled and the premium
taken off pints and quarts, the Vir-
ginia ABC Board announced yes
terday.
A maximum of four -flfths of do
meStic whisky will be available dur
ing August under the new plan,
which was designed to prevent over
crowding in liquor stores on stock
ing days and to move along larger
portions made available by large
stocks on hand
Coupons 81 and 50 will be good
during the month, and half of each
coupon will be good for either a
pint or fifth. Two of the half
units will be required for l quart
of domestic whisky or one-tenth of
imported whisky. Three of the half
units will be required for the pur-
chase of one-fifth of imported whis-
ky or one-fifth of domestic gin.
Various combinations of these
purchases can be made and items
other than those mentioned may be
purchased without coupon by the
holder of ration book.
1t has become the custom under
the old rationing plans for pur-
chasers to line up at the stores on
stocking days to get the relatively
few pints and quarts and the new
plan, which requires as much of
a coupon for a pint as for a fifth,
is expected to break up this practice.
The increase has been made pos
Slble to a certain extent by the
increasing of liquor quotas allowed
by distillers. but for the most part
to the acquisition of the ABC board
Of the large stock of bulk whisky
purchased in the American Dis
tilling Co. deal.
