ABC Blocks Imports
OF Inferior Type
Whisky Here
One So-ColIed Mexican
Brond Bore Marking
Of Imported Imitotion'

Members of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board reported last night
they had denied several applications
OF retailers for importing what they
termed inferior" types of whisky.
Two types of whisky blocked by
the board were so-called Mexican
whisky, which carries a small nota-
tion on the label, imported imita-
ton whisky" and Cuban whisky.
Applied for 1000 Cases.
The application for the Mexican
whisky was made by retailer who
wished to import 1000 cases. A
chemical test showed that it was all
neutral spirits. colored with caramel,
with slight whisky flavor, prob
ably due to the existence of small
amount of genuine whisky"
The board estimated that once
taxes and transportation costs we're
accounted for. the imitation whisky
would have sold for approximately
S470 quart, whereas the best ma
tional brands are slightly over 81.
Since the Office of Price Ad-
ministration has been cooperating
with the ABC Board in checking
retail import applications, Chair
man Thomas E. Lodge of the board
said demands for importing liquor
had fallen off. During January,
when the agreement went into ef-
feet, dealers applied for permission
to import 28,414 gallons, whereas
they had asked to bring in 1925
gallons in December and 82,16l gall
Ions in November.
Report on Licenses.
Meanwhile, in report to the
Commissioners, the ABC Board said
three liquor licenses had been re-
voked and So suspended during the
license year, running from January
81, 1912, to the end of last month.
One revocation. not included in the
boards figures, was set aside by the
Commissioners.
The suspensions ranged from one
to 80 days, and were confined to re-
tailers. Two citations against whole
salers were dismissed Twenty
seven retailers received warnings,
the board reported.

zoning Heads Weigh
Bradbury Heights
Housing Petition
Counsel for Area Files
Five-Pointed Argument
Against Multiple Units

The Zoning Commission had be-
fore it today motion for rehear-
ing Of the Bradbury Heights Cit
liens Association petition to rezone
its area to prevent multi-family
housing.
1t was filed yesterday by John
L. Fowler, attorney, who represented
the association in its original hear
ing before the commission last
month. r. o. Clouser, executive
officer of the commission, said last
night he did not know when the
motion would be considered.
Several weeks ago the Zoning
Commission divided the area into
several sections, only one OF which
was for detached homes as sought
by the citizens association. Land
north of G street Sc. and east of
Ridge road to Benning road was
left in residential A, which would
permit multi-family dwellings.
Five-Point Argument.
Attorney John L. Fowler, rep
resenting the association, argued
yesterday in the petition for a re-
hearing that the commission erred
on the following five points:
1t permitted public and semi
public groups and organizations to
oppose the Bradbury Heights petit
ton while the commission was hear
ing testimony on a similar petition
Of Congress Heights Citizens Asso-
citation.
1t failed to follow its long estab-
lished policy that requested amend
ments to the original zoning map
which in this case, in all of the
Bradbury Heights area was residen-
tial A, should be granted or refused
in accordance with the develop
ments and improvements by the
residents and property owners in
the area directly concerned"
1t adopted the factual content of
the report Of the Zoning Advisory
Council, but came to conclusions
contrary to the facts adopted.
"Hearsay Opinions" Charged.
1t permitted the introduction of
hearsay opinions of the director Of
Federal Housing Administration
land newspaper articles, referring
to the Congress Heights and Brad
bury Heights cases, thus injecting
racial issue into a matter of zon-
ing and community development. !"
1t failed to establish on the basis
of facts found "a proper and ade-
quate zoning barrier between the
undeveloped real estate in the
northern part Of Bradbury Heights
and the more restricted area to the
south.
Congress Heights citizens recently
lost similar move to block multi.
family construction in their area.
but accepted the decision, although
protesting 1t was unfair.

The Importance of sugar in the
manufacture of alcohol for use in
production of synthetic rubber for
war and industrial purposes and
the relationship of sugar beet r
duction to the need for conserving
corn and other grains for feeding
livestock, is one of the most dis
cussed questions coming before con-
ferences of food production officials
and representatives of farm labor
now being held in large centers
around which agriculture in it's
various phases is the principal basis
of industry and giving employment
to hundreds of thousands of people.
The fact that increased sugar pro-
duction provides a sure source for
rs per cent of the basis of industri-
al alcohol, also brings to the fore
front the assurance that the conser-
walton of grains for food and feed
may be realized to the extent that
sugar production is developed to
take the place of grain in industry.
N. E. Dodd, director of the agri-
cultural and adjustment agency of
the war food administration told a
conference of food producers and
farm labor representatives at Den
yer this week that Colorado can
contribute materially to the produc-
ton of food and industrial materi-
ais by increasing the acreage of
beets. "This year it will be neces-
sary to produce $50 million gallons
of industrial alcohol. Sugar is be-
ing called upon to fill in the produc-
ton of alcohol with one million tons
of sugar, plus 627 million gallons
of black strap molasses," Mr.. Dodd
stated. "Alcohol is absolutely neces-
sary in the production of synthetic
rubber" he added. Only 25 per cent
Of the country's synthetic rubber is
made from petroleum.
Sugar raised per acre in the
Eaton and Ault districts last year
would produce So synthetic rubber
tires 600 X 16, whereas corn by av-
erage production in the corn belt
acre of 1926 bushels produce only
PAP synthetic rubber tires. These
figures show that beets are a much
more efficient source of alcohol and
synthetic rubber than corn.
The Importance of alcohol in the

recent statements made by manu-
facturers of tires and other COM
modities in which synthetic rubber
is used extensively. The Goodyear
Rubber company states that the av-
erage 61a X 16 size passenger tire
now contains IS pounds of synthetic
rubber. To manufacture this amount
of rubber requires between nine and
II gallons of alcohol.
Importance of alcohol in the rub
Der industry was also brought strik-
in a recent issue of Time
magazine. In this publication it
was indicated that at the present
time rs per cent of all of the buta
of which synthetic rubber is
being made, is produced by alcohol.
There are five different processes
being tinkered with by oil COM
Danies endeavoring to produce buta
1iene from petroleum." Time says.

The government is diverting $780,
900 tons of Cuban sugar for the
manufacture of alcohol because of
depleted stocks of grains and other
materials. The supplies of feed
grains, as practically all of those
connected with the local farming in
dustry are aware, was at the lowest
level in the past 20 years on Jan. 1,
1913. On Jan. 1 of this year the
had dropped 20 per cent to
the smallest quantity in seven years
and 10 per cent less than the previ-
Gus f~ive-year average.
The use of grain for the distilla-
ton of alcohol is still taking prece-
dence over all demands of livestock
feeds. First 35 per cent of all yell
low corn was frozen for industrial
purposes while livestock is sent to
market in an unfinished condition
due to lack of that important grain
for use in feedlots Throughout
northern Colorado and in other Sec
of the Rocky mountain region.
Last Friday the federal government
increased the freeze order on corn
to so per cent. Thirty-eight mil
lion bushels of grain were taken out
