Laurel Liquor Store
Which Cut Beer Prices.
Loses License SO DAYS

The alcoholic beverage license
of a Laurel (Md) liquor store op-
orator, who contended he was "cut
of" by county beer distributors
because he trimmed prices below
those Of his competitors. was sus-
pended for go days yesterday by
the Prince Georges County Board
of License Commissioners.
The suspension was ordered by
the board after Hymarl Danziger,
operator of an establishment at
ia Washington boulevard, Laurel,
appeared to answer to charges
that he permitted the illegal
transportation of beer to his store
and that he purchased the beer
from someone other than duly
licensed manufacturer or whole
saler.
Mr.. Danziger admitted he
bought the beer from "a friend"
at a Berwyn tavern last February,
but reported he was unaware he
was guilty of any violations.
He told board members at Upper
Marlboro yesterday he was forced
to buy 81 cases of beer from the
Berwyn place because distributors
of nationally known beers refused
to serve him after last January.
He charged he was "cut of" at the
request of his competitors.
Appeal Noted.
Mr.. Danziger's attorney. John
S. White. Immediately noted an
appeal from the boards decision.
Mr.. White said the appeal would
stay the suspension order. which
was to have taken effect today.
Board officials. however, said the
license will be picked up and it
will be up to the county's Cir
cult Court. where the appeal was
filed. to decide on whether the
suspension will remain in effect.
Meanwhile, the board. in an
other action. approved an appli-
cation submitted by a liquor store

Danziger's place. Edward Trav-
ers Kaiser was granted an on-sale
beer. wine and liquor permit for

more boulevard. The place pre-
viously had only an off-sale IL
