Court Reverses Liquor Board
On Arbitrary License Refusal

The District Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board was overruled and
severely criticized today by District
Court Justice Edward F. Curran for
"capricious and arbitrary action" in
refusing liquor license to the Clore
Restaurant at Fourteenth and U
streets NV.
Justice Curran agreed to issue a
writ of mandamus to force the board
to issue license. 1t was the first
successful mandamus action against
the ABC Board since repeal of pro-
hibition, according to court officials.
After lengthy hearings on the
application for a license last De-
cember, the board wrote Attorney
F. Joseph Donohue, acting for Mrs.
Anna Clore, owner of the restaurant,
that the application had been
denied.
The board based its action on q
section of the law which gives it
permission to deny license be-
cause of the character of the
premises, the nature of the sur
roundings or because of the wishes
of the persons residing or owning
property in the neighborhood--

Is Signed by Truman
BY the Associated Press

President Truman today signed
legislation extending export-import
controls over scarce commodities
through next February %, and said
some foreign trade supervision will
be needed even after that time.
These controls, embodied in the
second War Powers Act, originally

for Is days by stop-gap congress
sional resolution.
In a statement, Mr.. Truman said
the administration will use these
controls sparingly and dispense with
them as soon as conditions permit. y
He added:
st should be less than candid,
however, were I not to say that I
believe the need for some super
vision of our foreign trade will con-
tinue beyond next February
The law vests authority for ham
ding the program generally in the
hands of the Secretary of Com
merce. It ends present controls on
manila and other types Of flberand
cordage, but retains import controls
on rice and rice products.
Other materials on which emer-
gency wartime controls are con-
tinued include tin and tin products,
except for imports of tin ores and
concentrates; materials required for
export to aid foreign production OF
products needed in the United
States; antimony, fats and oils. Pc

Tax Cut Is Urged

! Working Wives
By the Assoeiofed Press

Representative Keating, Repuo-
lican, of New York proposed To-Day
that Congress allow working wives
to deduct the cost of baby sitters IN
computing their income tax.
The proposal was embodied m
bill submitted to the House ways
and Means Committee, Wnlcn Is
considering general revision OF tax
laws in the next session. Mr.. keat-
ing told the committee the purpose
of his bill is to ease the tax buroen
on persons with small incomes.
He said there are many cases IN
which both the husband and Wl1e
work, but:
"The trouble is that she may have
to hire some one to do her mousse
work while she is on the job, or II
she has children, she may have 10
nav some one to stay with tne
children.
"It seems to me that it Is only
fair and would be desirable tnlng
from every point of view If she could
deduct these necessary expenses IN
computing her income tax"
other provisions of the bill would
permit persons with gross income
under $4,000 to deduct all their med
ical expenses for tax purposes and
permit deduction OF all necessary
expenses for transportation to and
from work.

What the cost will be never has

four years and would require $15.-

saw no reason for altering the goal

SENATE COMMITTEE approves
bill to allow retirement fund with

The House Rules Committee
today gave the right of way to
the LANCER Chavez Stevenson
bill to liberalize the civil service
retirement system.
Sponsors of the measure expressed
confidence that the House will pass
the bill when it comes up for action
late this week or early next week.
Prospects for the measures pas
sage in the Senate, however, are
more uncertain. The bill has re-
ceived the approval of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, but Sen
ate action has been delayed. With
little more than a week remaining
before Congress adjourns, the bills
sponsors hope it can be squeezed
into the Senate's agenda during the
last-minute rush of business.
To meet the objections of the
House Rules Committee, the bills
sponsors eliminated sections OF the
measure granting pensions to the
dependent children of Federal en-
ployes who die in the service, and
provision which would have allowed
employees with 10 years service to
retire and receive reduced pensions
at the age of SIS or 60.
AS the bill now stands, it increases
annuity payments to Government
employees on retirement by about
5000 a year, and increases the pen
sions of Federal employees already
retired by Is per cent or $500, which,
ever Is smaller.
In addition the bill grants pen
sions to the widows of deceased Fed
eral employees, providing they have
children.

ate by Chairman LANCER of the Sen
ate Civil Service Committee and
