"A" Liquor Licenses
To Remain al 300;
Import Ban Refused

The Commissioners yesterday re.
Jected the suggestion of the Alec.
hollc Beverage Control Board that
the 300 limit on "A" liquor licenses
be raised, and Cancelled a hearing
scheduled for June Is on an ABC
Board proposal to prevent retailer.
from importing liquor.
The move to reject lifting the
limitation on "a" ncenses-thost
for package stores-was understood
to have been made by Commissioner
Guy Mason, who recently told the
House Subcommittee on District Ap.
preparations that lifting the limit
would invite trouble and play into
the hands of prohibitionists.
Limit Set I'm 1896.
The Commissioners set a limita-
ton Of 300 on the "a" licenses in
1886, when there were 400 such H.
censes outstanding. Through revo-
cation of licenses the number has
been reduced to 1888. In letter to
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee, Chairman Alan
w. Payne OF the ABC Board, said
that "the limitation, coupled with
the increased demand incident to
the growth of the population, has
resulted in rise Of racket in
the transfer of such licenses"
The Commissioners recently set
June Is for hearing on the ABC
Boards proposal to prevent retailers
from importing liquor if they could
not procure the brand and amount
desired from local wholesalers. Re-
tailers protested the plan and the
Commissioners have postponed the
hearing several times.
Release of the official file by the
Commissioners revealed that Cor
poration Counsel Richmond B.
Keech outlined objections to pre-
venting retail imports. He in
formed the Commissioners:
Would Limit Brands.

the package stores, restaurants and
hotels will be able to purchase only

Gated here) and the wholesalers may
care to import. The number of
brands sold in the District would be
considerably reduced.
1T has been reported that whole
Salers have blackliSted and refused
to sell retailers who did not conform
to price or other standards set by
the wholesaler. At the present time,
the retailer can free himself from
the control of the wholesaler by
getting permit from the board to
purchase beverages outside the Dis
trict.
Under the proposed amendment,
the retailer would be compelled to
buy only from a District wholesaler
or manufacturer, but there is moth
ing to require the manufacturer or
wholesaler to sell to the retailer.
The effect of the proposed amend
ment. upon licensed retailers would
be so serious that believe that in
no event should it be adopted with
out a public hearing"
Among Protestants.
Among those protesting against
the retail import proposal were the
National Press Club, Samuel Barker,
attorney for William Stein and Fer
dinand Ney, 945 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV, and Larimer's Wine and
Liquor Store: Nathaniel Goldberg,
attorney for Sam Fig; Leo A. Rover,
attorney for Clark's, Inc, 705 Four
teenth street NV; the Washington
Hotel Association.
The vote of the Commissioners on
these two liquor recommendations
came late in the afternoon, after
session with the three members of
the ABC Board.

Coast Guard
to Celebrate

On August 4, the United States
Coast Guard was to stamp out
anniversary of the founding of the
service. The original purpose of the
Coast Guard will celebrate its 150th
smugglers but since World War
II, the Coast Guard has played a
vital role for America in warfare.
Traditionally the Coast Guard has
been the least publicized of our de-
tense forces. But today it is the
most independent branch of the
armed forces. The range of duties
Of the Coast Guard are many. Their
jobs starts with the patrolling of
the inland water ways to being the
first ashore in some of the tough
est invasions to date.
Commandant of the Coast Guard
is Russell Waesche, a four star ad-
miral, who has held that post since
June 1886 when, with the rank of
rear admiral, he was appointed by
the late Franklin Roosevelt for the
four year term.

More than $4,000 men with seri-

Steady Employment in Post Var Era
assured Workers of Gypsum Plants

'Reconversion," the nightmare Of
industries and communities depen-
dent for prosperity upon sustained
production for war, holds few fears
for the gypsum industry or the
towns and areas it helps support.
Steady employment is assured
workers by gypsum mines, quarries,
and processing plants on the basis
of experts predictions that this
country stands on the verge I'M
precedented construction activity.
Already, the Help Wanted" sign
has been hung out by segments Of
the industry to recruit workers.
They are needed to smash the man
power "bottleneck" that has been
one Of the gypsum induStry'S prin-
cipal problems.
BY and large, the gypsum indus

more than a word. Its principal

traditional peacetime products
