Suitland church. school anC
civic leaders chalked up another
victory today in their five-yeal
fight to block sale of alcoholic
beverages in the mushroomine
community.
Their latest success came yes
terday. when the Prince Georges
County Liquor Board needed pro-
tests from delegation of 80 per-
sons and refused to approve a per-
NIT for use at 4710 Silver Hill road
The application, asking transfer
OF an off-sale beer, wine and liquor
license from 65o1 Walker Mill
road. was filed by Joseph D. Shuck
and Joseph A. DeMichele.
Mr.. DeMichele appeared before
the board shortly after he was
charged with larceny and placed
under $4,000 bond in connection
with the reported disappearance
Of SIS, 900 hidden in the attic of a
Washington house by William L.
Osborne, one-time District gam
bier and rum-runner. The Incl
dent was not mentioned at yester-
days hearing.
Another controversial applica-
ton, which has been under board
scrunity since February, was ap-
proved. It authorizes sale of hard
liquors at Stancliff's Restaurant,
near the intersection of Lanham-
Severn road and Defense highway
Directors notified the board that
the decision will be appealed to
circuit court.
Await Appeal Action.
The restaurant has a license to
dispense beer and light wine. It's
operators said yesterday no hard
liquors will be sold until the appeal
action has been heard.
Both rulings were announced
yesterday by Chairman James B
Carrico at the liquor boards
monthly meeting in Upper Marl-
boro. They were followed by
three day suspensions, effective al
9 am. Monday, imposed on three
licensees found guilty of LIQUOR
law violations.
They are Edward o. Wayson
proprietor of Boone's bakery anc
restaurant, Upper Marlboro;
James L. Phillips, Accokeek, ano
K. & K. Inc, a grocery and liquor
store on route 301, a few miles
south of Upper Marlboro. The
K. & K. permit was suspended
because Barney Katz, one of the
owners. was convicted of selling
whisky on Sunday. Mr.. Phillips
admitted a similar violation. Mr.
Wayson was found guilty Of SELL
ing beer to a minor.
The board is studying county
wide requests for a ruling on how
far alcoholic beverages establish
mentS should be located from
+churcheS and schools.
More than 10 church and civic
leaders asked the board to desig-
nate a minimum distance.
Opinions expressed by 26 speak
ers indicated that most of the
group favored separations of not
less than 1000 feet.
Mr.. Carrico said the liquor
board has authority to fix a mini
mum distance. He indicated his
group will act on the request OF
will recommend legislation to
effect the plan.
Delegate Albert r. Hassall, Re-
publican, chairman of the county
legislative delegation, who at
tended the meeting as an OBJ
server, said he believed his COL
leagues would support an enabling
bill.
AS proposed last night, the
limitation would apply only to
new licenses and transfers sought
after passage of a new law. 1t
would not affect existing permits.
