Since he emerged from uniform trig, His waistlne, she thinks, is too big He's lost that up-and-at-'em look That made him sort of have what 1t took.

z Clubs, Restaurant
Continue 10 Violate
|Curfew, VINO Says

Two private clubs and restau-
rant continue to violate the mid
night curfew, area War Manpower
Commission officials announced to-
day in reporting five violations over
night.
Area Director Ernest v. Con-
molly said police found the Lamp
| lighters Club, the Vagabond Club
and the Texas Chilli Parlor operat-
ing beyond midnight. The first two
establishments have been notified
they must dismiss all but mainte-
nance employees within five days.
Mr. Connolly said similar notice
would be sent the operators of the
chilli parlor, which is at 1922 Penn
sylvania avenue NV.
Request Exceeded, Attorney Charges.
Richard A. Hartman, attorney for
the chilli parlor, charged that VINO
had gone beyond the original re-
quest of War Mobilization Director
Byrnes by forcing the shutdown OF
all eating places except those open
all night.
Mr.. Hartman said the Byrnes cur
few request specifically excluded
restaurants engaged exclusively in
serving food. The chilli parlor nor
mally remains open until 3 am, and
according to Mr.. Hartman, will con-
tinue in business until that hour
despite possible VINO sanctions.
The attorney claimed local VINO
officials had attempted to bypass
him in calling in the operators OF
the establishment for a discussion
of the alleged violation. He said
he had advised his clients not tc
attend the conference but simply tt
await developments.
VINO said it had sent a represen-
tative to the restaurant yesterday tt
explain the curfew and that it die
not plan to confer with Mr. Hartman
Unsigned Press Release"
Mr.. Hartman further asserted that
the Byrnes request was without
weight, claiming it had never been
published in the Federal Register
and was 'in fact. nothing. but an
unsigned press release"
| From the outset the Government
has stressed that the curfew was a
request" although it is backed by
punitive powers of several wal
agencies.
Ernest V. Connolly, area VINO
director, said that some resturateurs
had complained that the midnight
closing was working a hardship on
the public. However, the number
of complaints are small and the area
VINO continues to abide strictly by
the national VINO ruling that 6
restaurant must close down at mid
night unless it operates all night
Mr. Connolly said
| officials express satisfaction with
compliance in Washington, claim
ing it is near perfect.
