Poyne Cites Report
On Distance Limits
Of Liquor Pieces

II the bill introduced by Senator
Brewster to amend the District Al
cohol Beverage Control Act becomes
q law. more than 48 per cent Of the
places selling alcoholic beverages in
Washington will 60 out Of business,
according to Allan w. Payne, chair
man Of the ABC Board.
Mr.. Payne made this statement
today after receiving a report from
the police precinct commanders, who
made q survey for the board. He
sent the report with letter from
the board to Corporation Counsel
Vernon West.
Senator Brewster's bill would
amend the present law to prohibit
renewal or transfer OF licenses to
places selling alcoholic beverages, If
the places are within 100 feet of the
property lines of any schools, COLI
|legeS, universities, churches or pub.
lie institutions after January 81,
194&
Present Law Cited.
The present law sets up the 400
foot rule. but permits those now
having licenses to renew or transfer
them.
The board said the use of the
property line instead of the entrance
in determining distance would mar
row the territory in which a busi-
ness selling alcoholic beverages
could operate. The addition also
|of the word public institutions"
in the bill would create more Gases.
OF the 1876 places in the District
that now have licenses to sell
liquors, beer and light wines, $50
would be forced to close. The
amendment, the board said, would
affect 1873 package stores, $50 grocery
stores now selling beer and wine,
223 restaurants selling liquor. and
los restaurants that sell only wine
and beer.
Hotels Would Be Hit.
Among the places that would
lose their liquor licenses would be
the Mayfiower, willard. Lafayette.
Carlton, Hay-Adams, Statler, Co
lonial and Sheraton hotels, and
the Elks Club, the National Press
Club, Sulgrave Manor, the Zoo and
Union Station, the ABC Board said.
Chairman Payne said Corpora
ton Counsel West would be called
upon for legal definition of pub
lie institutions.

Michael Loses Appeal
From Virginia Poll Tax
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 10.-An
appeal Of Lawrence Michael, Ar
lington Republican, from q deci-
sion Of the Alexandria District
Court throwing out his poll tax suit
against Gov. Tuck and others, was
dismissed yesterday by the Fourth
United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals.
Mr.. Michael had sought to enjoin
the Governor and commissioners Of
revenue within the 9th congress
siona1 district, where he ran I'M
successfully for the House last fall,
from collecting the poll tax. The
suit was dismissed by the district
court before the election, but the
appeal was not filed until after
election day.
In an opinion written by Senior
Circuit Judge John J. Parker, the
Court of Appeals decided that the
controversy constituted moot ques-
ton, and said it was without juris-
diction to consider it further.
The opinion added, however, that
Mr.. MlchaePS complaint and his Of
fers Of proof raised questions "of
the gravest character" which, II
properly presented before the court,
would merit our most careful con-
sideration."
Mr.. Michael alleged in the suit
that the State Constitution was de-
liberately adopted for the purpose of
Merchandising Negro citizens;
that thousands of citizens, white as
well as colored, "are denied the right
to vote because of the way in which
the provisions are administered; ="
and that the right to vote Is so limited
that the republican form of Govern
ment guaranteed by the United
States Constitution lis denied and
the privileges and immunities Of the
citizens of the United States are
substantially ahridoed -

MaryIand's Tax
On Sales Heads
ForCourf Fight
Opponents Rollying
Today for Baltimore,
Eastern Shore Help

As opponents of Maryland's sales
tax met in Baltimore today to enlist
support from that city and Eastern
Shore districts, indications are that
q court fight may be In prospect be-
fore the levy is imposed July !.
Businessmen of nearby Prince
Georges County are taking lead
ia opposing the tax because OF the
possibility of competition with COM
mercial adjustments in tax-free
District OF Columbia Congress is
studying proposed sales impost for
Washington, however.
Prince Georges County tax OPP
ponents met at the Riverdale NUM-
cipal Hall last night to perfect State
wide organization plans first out
lined at a meeting a week earlier.
New support to the opposition came
from George McLeish, member of
the House OF Delegates from Prince
Georges County, the County Civic
Federation and the County Repub-
lcan Club.
Legal Opinion Divided.
The antisales tax organization,
which has not yet adopted an OFF,
cial name, agreed to proceed with
plans to submit the sales tax to
the voters in a referendum. They
acknowledged there is divided legal
opinion on whether this can be
done.
!. In the closing days of the Cen
eral Assembly, which adjourned
March 81, Gov. Lane pushed the 2
per cent sales levy as keystone OF
his legislative program. The adj
rninistration1 announced the States
attorney general had ruled that the
sales tax could not be made the
subject of a referendum. A pre-
vious unsuccessful effort to get a
referendum on road levy during
the late Gov. Ritchie's administra-
ton was cited.
The antisales tax group in Prince
Georges and other counties is pro-
ceeding, however, on the assump-
ton that the legislation can be
submitted to the voters. To do this
they must have obtained signatures
from at least 5000 qualified voters
to petitions submitted to the Sec
rotary of State by June 1. Petit
tons bearing at least another 5000
names must be submitted by July l..
Not more than half of the total of
10000 names can be obtained in
any one county or Baltimore City.
Many Counties Represented.
Opponents are confident of rep
resentative support of the move
ment from throughout the State,
however. At the initial organiza-
ton meeting last week. representa-
tives sympathetic to the movement
met with the Prince Georges group.
The former were from Montgom-
cry, Washington, st. Marys, Carroll,
SomexSs Wicomoco and Cecil
CounNes and Baltimore.
At the meeting last night it was
considered probable that the Secre-'
tary Of State would refuse to accept
the petitions as a mandate to call
referendum election and that man
damus action may have to be taken
ir the courts. --....sz.-.
The group, planned county
budget of $4,000 and set goal of
100000 for the Statewide organi-
zation. Chairman Robert j. Black
of Norbeck also heads the State Or
ganization Committee. Last night
he appointed Otis Dudrow, Hyatts-
vile, treasurer, and Sylvan Dietz,
Hyattsville, finance chairman, in
the Prince Georges County organi-
cation. The group will meet each
