Cafe License for

The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board today revoked a
liquor license Of the Elite Res
taurant, 1868 Georgia avenue
NV, on charges that the pro-
prietor, James L. Perrus, had re-
filled whisky bottles with
another brand.
The revocation goes into eff
feet March 2. It was. the first
time in the history of the board
that a license has been revoked
for this offenSe.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert D. Wise, at a hearing last
week, told the board the act was
not only a violation of the ABC
act but also violation of the
Internal Revenue Act.
Noticed Aged Labels.
Shield Nelson, an Internal
Revenue agent, said he inspected
the restaurant last December %
and noticed some of the labels
on the whiskey bottles behind
the bar bore evidence of long
use. He said he took samples
and found. that the contents
were not the same brand as the
labels on the bottles.
He also told the board he dis
covered Is miniatures behind the
bar. from which the revenue
stamp and the District stamp
had been removed. He said Mr..
Perrus admitted to him he had
refilled the miniatures, but when
Mr.. PerruS took the stand he
denied he told Mr.. Nelson ne had
rehlled them.
Second Agent Agrees.
Revenue Agent Robert A.
Wade. who accompanied Mr..
Nelson to the restaurant, gave
the same testimony.
PhotiuS Perrus, son of the
proprietor, admitted to the board
that he had filled one fifth bot
tie Of whiskey with another
brand. but denied filing the
other bottles. He said he took
the revenue stamp and the Dis
trict tax stamps of the minia-
lures for quick service to Gus

Democratic WoIkout

It is a matter of regret that the three
Democratic members of Senator McCarthy'S
subcommittee have chosen to resign.
Their objections to the party-line vote by
which the Republican members authorized
Chairman Mccarthy to hire and fire members
of the staff is understandable It is doubtful
however, that this authorization was Of mate
rial significance For while the minority, with
the aid of Republican Senator Potter, was
able to challenge the chairman successfully
in the j. B. Matthews incident, that was Ger
tainly an exceptional situation. AS practical
matter in the normal hiring and firing of staff
members, the chairman could be sure Of
majority support for his selections, and thus
the authorization was little more than face
saving gesture for Senator McCarthys benefit.
The important function of the minority
members, especially on committee OF this
kind, is to serve as a check on the majority.
If witness is being badgered with hostile
and unfair questions, the minority can, IN some
degree at least, come to his rescue with ques-
tions designed to keep the record straight.
without minority representation, however, this
becomes impossible, and it is primarily for this
reason that Democratic representation on the
Mccarthy subcommittee is definitely desirable.

DoubIe-Deck HIGHWAY

I have been reading about the prob

highway from Frederick, Md, and the
proposal to route it into Washington
through Rock Creek Park.
Nobody in his right mind could wish
to see visited upon beautiful Rock
Greek Park the hldeous bedlam which
the expressway-ridden parkways leading
out of New York have become. and let
anybody who is thinking of exchanging
the sylvan fastness of our park for a
superhighway route just take a ride
out through the once beautiful park
ways leading northward from New York
City and see what will happen here.
On the Nother hand, any one coming
into Washington from Pittsburgh late
on Sunday evening, and coming up
with the bumper-to-b bumper traffic inch
ing along on the present tage-coach-
era highway between Frederick and
this city, will see the urgent need for
the highway improvement now under
construction.
There already exists an excellent
route to carry the superhighway right

OfficerS of the Corcoran Gallery Of

established" The Corcoran officials,
however, had no knowledge of Mr..
Morgan's plans. They felt that their
gallery was in fact filling the needs

Corry-AH Transit Bill

The omnibus transit bill which has
emerged from the Senate District Committee
covers as much territory as the various local
bus and Streetcar lines which it seeks to in
vestigate and regulate. And it is apt to prove as
confusing to many members of Congress and
others as the Washington transit muddle itself.
Three different bills bearing on several
aspects of the mass transportation problem
have now been tackled together into one carry
all measure. Parts of this measure already have
been approved by one house or the other and
by one or another Of Senate and House Com
merce and District Committees and subcommit-
tees. The idea seems to be to throw everything
into the hopper bearing on District transit and
traffic troubles, in the hope that something
helpful might come out of the mixture. The
idea may not work out that way.
The House, having passed the Broyhill bill
providing for comprehensive one-year study
of public and private transportation needs,
now may expect to be called on to approve
two additional bills tied to the Broyhill bill in
a single package. One is the Senate-approved
johnson bill for immediate creation of Metro
politan Area transit control agency-Something
which the Broyhill bill contemplated as one of a
number of remedial plans to be studied and
reported on. The other bill is the Senate
approved resolution for a Joint Senate House
investigation of transit operations in Wash
tngton, with special reference to the policies
and services of the Capital Transit Company.
The interest shown by both houses in
Washington's traffic and transit headaches is
highly encouraging to all who have suffered
from these ills There is need for care how
ever, in legislating on this complex subject.
The Johnson bill may be the answer to the
city's woes, but it would seem wiser to await the
study proposed in the Broyhill bill before adopt
ing any particular-and revolutionary-reme-
dies. The joint inquiry into fiscal and operating
policies of the Capital Transit Company might
better be conducted independently of the
broader study by the interjurisdctional COM
mission provided under the Broyhill bill. Ger
tainly the three measures deserve closer
scrutiny than they are likely to receive by being
Jumped together as they now are Unless they
receive this scrutiny there is danger that mis-
takes will be made which will be hard to correct
later on.
