RefiIIed Bottle Data
Denied 10 ABC Board

The Alcohol and Tobacco Di-
vision Of the Internal Revenue
Bureau has refused to report to
the District all cases involving
refilling of whisky bottles with
another brand.
The Alcoholic Beverage Com
troll Board had requested the in
formation on orders from Com
missioner Renah F. Camalier
when James L. Perrus, propri-
etor of a restaurant at 1868
Georgia avenue NV. had his
license revoked after being found
guilty of refilling bottles in his
restaurant.
The case had been referred
to the ABC Board by the In
ternal Revenue Bureau because
it was not the first time the
man had been accused of the
same offense.
Chairman Alan w. Payne had
requested the bureau to refer
all cases, even first offenders, to
the board. The bureau said it
was not it's policy to send first
offenders to the board and that
policy would be continued.
In a letter to Mr.. Camalier,
Chairman Payne said, "It seems
to this board a proper appropria-
ton should be sought of Con-
gress to increase the boards in
spectorial staff in order that it
will be able to make inspections
for violations along this line"

Dag Hammarskjo|d
Arrives 10 Take Over
Lies Post at u. n.
BY the Assoeioted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April 9.-"I want to do a job,
not talk about it, not even after
wards"
Dag Hammarskjold, new Sec
retary general of the United Ma
tions. expressed that as his phi
losophy as he arrived today from
Stockholm. The former Min
lister of State in Sweden landed
at Idlewild Airport and then &C
companied Trygve Lie, whom he
is succeeding, to the $65 million
headquarters he will oversee.
They conferred in the secretary
generals penthouse offices.
At Idlewild, he told a news
conference he is aware his new
post requires "a firm grip on
realities, perseverance and pa
tience and careful, imaginative
planning"
Will Listen and Analyze.
Mr.. Lie observed, "You are
taking over the most impossible
job on earth"
Like all persons engaged in
diplomacy and policy" Mr.. HAM
marskjold replied, II have my
own views and ideas on the great
developments and questions fac
ing us.
These are my views as priv
ate man. But now the private
man shall disappear and an in
ternational public servant shall
take its place. A public servant
is there to assist. He should,
as 1 see it, listen and analyze
and learn to understand fully
the forces at work and the issues
at stake.
Silent on Soviet Moves.
II don't think the secretary
general should take a passive
part in the developments. He
should take an active part. He
is acting as an instrument, a
catalyst and somewhat an in
spirer."
Mr.. Hammarskjold declined to
give an opinion on recent Rus
sian moves. or Korean develop
ments. He said he did not think
it would be appropriate to go in
to political questions at this
time.

Business Federation
0nPublic WorksPIan

The North Washington Coun-
Gil of Citizens Associations last
night unanimously approved. "in
principle" an alternative public
works improvement program for
the District as drawn up by the
Federation of BuSineSsmen'S AS
Gociations.
DR.. Benjamin Striner, chair
man of the councils special COM
mittee on fiscal relations and a
delegate from the Shepherd
Park Citizens Association. ex-
planned the new plan in behalf
of the business group and urged
its adoption. ..-
He had attended a conference
of civic and Government leaders
yesterday, DR.. Striner said. That
meeting. held in the Office Of
Brig. Gen. Lewis w. Prentiss.
Engineer Commissioner, was
called, according to Gen. Prem
tiss, to reconcile differences Of
opinion on the present public
works proposal. The Business
mems Association voiced chief
opposition. at that time. to the
means of financing the program.
Need Recognized.
The eight-page plan presented
to the council last night agrees
with the one now proposed by
the Board of Commissioners as
to the extensive need for public
works, but it takes exception to
the methods proposed to finance
It.
According to a study outlined
In the new plan, the District
would be faced with a $159 mil
lion deficit at the end of the
eight-year program now under
consideration. The present plan
contemplates an increased bur-
den for District taxpayers, offers
no permanent solution to public
works requirements and runs
the risk of curtailment by an
economy minded Congress-. the
study adds.
The alternative proposes to
solve the problem by:
/. Combining the water and
aqueduct. sanitary sewers and
storm sewers into one group for
fiscal purposes. These are sep
arate items in the present plan.
2. Requesting a $100 million
lnterest-free loan for SO years
from Congress to finance the
entire three-part project.
$35 Million Payment.
8. Requesting from Congress a
$35 million annual Federal pay
ment toward District government
expenses.
4. Giving national park status
to Rock Creek Park and the Zoo.
"The approximate So million an
nual charge to the District of
Columbia is a luxury that the
District can i'll afford" the report
says.
S. Requesting legislation to
place a ceiling of $3.50 per diem
for the care of patients of st.
Elizabeths Hospital, chargeable
: to the District of Columbia. This
would cut the estimated cost of
the hospital for fiscal 1854
about SO million-in half for
District taxpayers.
6. Requiring nearby States,
which would profit from the con-
struction of new bridges across
the Potomac, to pay half of their
cost and maintenance.
