Beer Law, Gambling
Violations Charged 10
Alexandra LegionPo

Charges of selling beer to In
toxicated persons and permitting
gambling were brought against
Alexandria Post "a of the Amer
lcan 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 the 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 rs 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
| tentlon.
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 DO
lice department testified that they
had been to the club on trouble
calls.
Clinton Knight of the Legions 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
ted on the premises without a men,
bership card.
