Charges of selling beer to in
toxicated persons and permitting
gambling were brought against
Alexandria Post "a of the Amer
lean Legion at an Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board license revoca-
ton hearing yesterday in Alexan-
dria.
At the conclusion of the hearing,
ABC Hearing Officer Howard Siple
told the Legion officials he would
make recommendation in she near
future to the Virginia Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board in Richmond,
but he did not indicate what it
would be.
The beer law violation charges
were outlined by w. w. Duncan,
ABC inspector for Alexandria, who
said the Legion has permitted many
undesirables" to loiter around the
clubhouse, housed in the historic
Gadsby's Tavern at the corner of
Cameron and Royal streets. The
Legion Post has a club type license
which permits sale of beer and wine
on the premises.
Many Not Legion Members.
Mr. Duncan emphasized that
many of these persons using the
clubs facilities were not Legion
members. In fact, he declared,
many Legion members were Com
pletely unaware of what is going
on there.
A number of complaints of fights
and disorderly conduct at the club
have been received by the Police
Department, Mr.. Duncan said. He
testified that on September 26 he
visited the club and found gam
bling was permitted. He said also
there were intoxicated persons on
the premises He said there were
slot machines in the building, but
that he had never seen any of
them in use.
Capt. Edgar A. Sims of the Alex
andria Police Department testified
that about six or seven complaints
about the club had come to his at
tention.
Management Change Cited.
Detective R. S. Greenwalt told the
hearing officer that, when he visited
the club to investigate a theft of
more than $500 from the Legion
safe last month, he noticed several
drunks." Other members of the po-
lice department testified that they
had been to the club on trouble
calls. 81
Clinton Knight of the Legion's Ex-
ecutive Committee admitted the
Post had experienced some difficulty
keeping order until about three
months ago. Since then, he testified,
the club has been put under new
management and no one is permit

fAnother OF a series answering
the questions people are asking
about the Community Chest Fed

Why does the Community Chest
contribute to the support of the
YMCA and the YWCA when peo-
pie pay to use its facilities?
These organizations are consid-
cred character-building agencies of
major importance. Those who can
afford 1t, pay their way and little
more. Those who can't pay may
take part in the activities because
the community helps out.
The YWCA is receiving $3S, 1853
from the Chest in 1947. It's total
operating cost is close to 81, ,000, 600

which have small profit. The
Chest contribution permits the boys
departments to operate when very
little revenue comes from the di-
