Army 10 Permit Sale
Of Liquor by Drink
Or Bottle al Messes
New System Will Allow
Bors to Be Set Up for
Officers and Non-Coms
By the Assoeiated Press

For the first time in more than
half a century, the Army is going
to allow liquor to be sold by the
drink and by the bottle to COM
missioned and non-commis-
stoned officers at open messes.
A directive from Maj. Gen.
William E. Bergin, adjutant
general, made public today, says
the new system will bring the
Army into line with the prac-
tice already observed by the
Navy and the Marines and soon
to be adopted by the Air Force.
Sales of liquor will be re-
stricted to persons over 81 and
the new regulation says:
commanders will encourage
abstinence, enforce moderation,
and punish over-indulgence."
Possible Morale Builder.
Gen. Bergin added the Army
believes the new privileges will,
if used with moderation and re-
straint, serve to enhance the
morale of all concerned"
Until now, as a result of a
1901 law banning the sale Of
whisky on Army posts, the prac-
tice has been to allow drinking
only from bottles owned private
ly by officers and NCO's and kept
in lockers.
The Universal Military Train
ing Act of 1851 authorized the
Secretary of Defense to allow
on-post sale of liquor and the
new regulation lists the condi-
tions under which sales can be
made.
Limited to the continental
United States and territories,
the regulations apply to clubs
and associations organized for
messing, billeting, morale or
recreational purposes" These
are known as "open messes" as
distinguished from field ration
meSSeS.
Must Avoid Criticism.
Gen. Bergin said in his direc-
tive that "Since the manner in
which the Army governs the
possession, use and sale of alco-
holic beverages is subject tc
critical public scrutiny" COM
manders must make sure INC
unfavorable publicity is gen.
Grated" by the new system.
BARS or lounges" Gen. Ber-
gin said, must be constructed
and located so that there is nc
suggestion of a SALOON or bawdy
night club"
Local laws and customs are
to be taken into consideration by
commanders in fixing rules for
liquor sales. Posts located in
dry" areas, however. will not
be required to abide by local
prohibition laws.

Eisenhower Orders
Food Aid 10 Jordan
By the Associated Press

DENVER. Colo, Sept. 4.-Pres-
ident Eisenhower last night made
the first use of his new authority
to send surplus American farm
crops abroad for the relief of
famine stricken friendly nations.
The President ordered up to
10000 tons of such crops shipped
to the HaShemite Kingdom of
Jordan.
He directed that the supply be
furnished to the Arabian nation
at once from the stocks of the
Commodity Credit Corp. He
acted under a new law enacted
by Congress at his request during
the session which adjourned
early last month.
The law authorizes the Presi-
dent to send up to $100 million
worth Of surplus commodities
overseas for the relief of famine
or other disaster.
The summer White House made
no estimate of the value of the
crops to be sent to Jordan.
Neither did it specify the type
of commodities to be delivered.
Mr.. Eisenhower dispatched the
memorandum to Washington
officials after returning to the
home of Mrs. Eisenhower'S
mother. Mrs. John S. Doud, from
a round Of golf at Denver's

He scheduled two engagements

The warning was contained in
a note-the fourth in three

Tito's government to Italy's
Foreign Ministry in Rome as a
result of new tension in the Z
year-old feud between the two
nations over the future of the
free territory of Trieste.

establishes that the Italian gov
ernment continues to adhere to
the abnormal situation on the
border" the note said, lit will

spending measures on it's terri

In plain terms, this means Yu-
goslavia plans to march in troops
to back UP her frontier guards
in the Gorizia region, north of
Trieste, unless Italy withdraws
the forces on the opposite side
of the frontier there.
The note, made public by the
Yugoslav Foreign Offices infor-
nation section, described as un-
satisfactory Italy's rejection of
three previous Yugoslav COM
plants concerning border incl
dents of the past week.
The Yugoslavs say Italy had
two divisions (perhapS 10000 to
10000 men) in the area and
Italian detachments twice have
strayed onto Yugoslav soil.
The note protested Italy's ac-
ton in undertaking a military
