BY .he Assoeioted Press

he said, State funds will no,

Help in the future probably will
be in the form of material, which
probably will be distributed ac-
cording to need, the Governor
explained.
His comments were in the ma
tlre of a Qualification of reports
from Nothern Virginia that the
Virginia area near Washington
would not share in State funds
because it was considered part of
the Metropolitan Washington De-
fense Area.

Prince Georges Bars
Liquor License Shifts
In Separate Areas

Two obstacles today faced
Prince Georges County liquor
dealers who seek to transfer
licenses to widely separated sec
tions and especially from rural
to densely populated areas.
Such transfers are eagerly
sought by some because all of the
352 licenses permitted in ths
county by law have been issued
Both obstacles were raised yes
terday by the County Board OF
License Commissioners in reject
ing an application for license
transfer from Silesia, a rural Sec
ton. to the Kentland development
near Landover. The action came
after an executive session which
followed a two-hour meeting at
Upper Marlboro.
One was reaffirmation Of a
policy announced by the board
last June that it would look with
disfavor on transfers from rural
to thickly populated areas and
to widely scattered sections.
Held Forbidden BY Code.
The other was the boards in
dorsement of an opinion by its
attorney, Ernest A. Loveless. that
such transfers coupled with as
signment or sale of liquor bust.
ness are prohibited by the pres
ent code.
The board ruled that such trans
fers first must be made in the
location in which the licenses is
in effect and that another appli-
cation must be filed by the holder
and approved before it can be
used in another area.
Transfer Refused.
Consequently the board refused
transfer of a Class A off-sale beer.

by Grover G. Aderholt. Harold
Simon, Yetta Simon and Harry
Kay. officers of Kentland Liquors.
Inc, applied for the transfer to
7541 Landover road.
An application for transfer of
the same license to Langley
Liquors. Inc. New Hampshire ave-
nue. and University lane, was dis
approved last November.
40 Attend Hearing.
About 40 persons attended the
hearing. and majority of them
opposed the transfer. Their
spokesmen said they did not
want to see another Colmar
Manor whisky row in the Kent
land section"
Supporters of the transfer
charged that the real objection
came from other liquor dealers
nearby.
Attorney Frank NJ. Hall. who
represented Kentland Liquors,
said the unusual" protests arose
from desire of these dealers
"to create a monopoly"
But in announcing it's decision,
the board made it clear that it
had overruled citizens protests
and had decided against the
transfer solely for reasons of pol
icy and procedure.
In another action, the board
approved transfer of a Glass A
off-sale beer, wine and liquor
license from Charles M. Jackson.
