Citizens Of SuitIand
Await Ruling After
rs
Bitter Liquor Debate

SHARPLY Q1VlQeQ Su1ClanQ GILL.
zens are waiting today for the
Prince Georges Board of License
Commissioners to rule again on
whether liquor spots will multiply
with mushrooming development.
The old and hard-fought issue,
perhaps the biggest headache the
board ever had, was the subject
of caustic debate yesterday at
Upper Marlboro.
Testimony during seven hours
Of sharp wrangling was recorded
on the renewed question Of
whether Charles j. Klahr and
John p. Pumphrey will be per-
mitted to transfer to 1852 Suit
land road an off-sale license
owned by Harvey Fox. colored.
and used at 9165 Livingston road.
Turned Down in December.
The applicants made their first
request in December and were
turned down on a technicality.
They appealed to Circuit Court,
where the boards decision was
sustained. New papers filed last
month brought the case up again
yesterday.
Bickering began Immediately
when the hearing began before
board members John S. Under
wood and Brooke Kerby. Chair
man James B., Carrico was re-
ported confined to his home by
flu. Decision was deferred to
permit the chairman to read a
transcript Of the proceedings.
Oscar R. Duley and Samuel
j. De Blasts. counsel for the
applicants filed petitions with
725 names favoring the trans
fer. Attorney John H. McAllister
countered with a 444-name Pc
tition against the shift. He was
assisted in the case by William
c. Steele, a Suitland business
man.
A standing count of opposing
delegations showed 80 persons
against the proposed package
goods store and a. for it. !. In a
move without precedent, Mr..
Duley demanded that all obiec-
tors give their names and adj
dresses. Mr.. McAllister did
likewise. That started a long
parade before a tape recorder
microphone.
Opinion Divided. E
Witnesses for both sides re-
vealed that opinion is divided on
the question of whether the COM
munity Of 1000 should have an
other liquor outlet in addition to
the one it now has.
Businessmen and civic leaders
were on opposite sides of the
fence and in an unusual develop-
ment members of the COM
munity's citizens association OBJ
posed the application, while the
president Of the unit, Daniel j.
McG Gillicuddy, supported it.
The clashing arguments re-
vealed that opponents feel an
other license would mean the
beginning Of . rum row. bring
ing with it lower property values. !
increased traffic hazards and
general moral debility.
Backers claimed that the COM
munity is growing so rapidly
more facilities and services of
every type are needed.
A. j. Marsh, former owner of
Cedar Hill Inn. the one hcensee
in the community, testified for
the applicants.
Raymond A. Burke, COM
Of Suitland Legion Post
1876. also spoke for the proposed
transfer.

shot and began to regale them
with his adventures in faraway

only the beginning.
Harold sat through all this
frozen-faced, Kronson was scowl-

you can't destroy it, ignore it.
Ellie sat staring at hands twisted
in her lap. a small girl with dark
curls and a yellow dress, perish

I'll kill him.
Dinner was finally served.
The food was delicious, the
service perfect. Sweeney ate like
a ravenous bird in flight, elbows
high, hands waving, talking all
the while. Harold said nothing
and ate less. Kronson muttered
darkly. Aunt Harriet was pale
and shaken. Ellie survived the
ordeal, but it cost her last ounce
of strength. She knew she couldn't
endure coffee in the library. She
waited until Sweeney paused for
breath.

"Sure," "he said, all you want,

ProtestantS that unless the strong
arm of power is raised to sustain
the provisions of the Constitution

Intolerance has been too pre-

clergy Of different denominations
are chargable with it's growth.
The whole spirit and office of re-

teaching was preached by the
pastors to their own congrega-
