Bottle Club DeadIine
Draws No Applicants

The deadline for Prince
Georges County's bottle clubs to
apply for special licenses under
a new county ordinance designed
to control the after-hours' spots
passed today without one license
having been issued.
Thomas F. Hicks, clerk to the
county commissioners, who issues
licenses, said no one had applied
for a bottle-club permit. The
commissioners adopted a new
and tougher bottle-club law Sep
tember 8, and gave the clubs 80
days to get licenses.
Court t-house aides said that in-
dicated that the bottle clubs
probably would follow the same
tactics they used successfully in
overthrowing the county's earlier
attempt to control after-hours
places. The clubs merely failed to
get a license under the earlier
ordinance, thus inviting police
Intervention. and then obtained
an injunction against enforce
rnent Of the ordinance pending
the outcome of a court test Of
its validity.
Circuit Court Judge Charles
c. Marbury threw out the earlier
law because he said it did not
specify conditions" which the
ordinance required the clubs ia
meet.

Their Views

The Republicans believe their
party's record of the past four
years justifies retention. They
say they have helped give the

hail 1t as unprecedented prog

The Democrats contend they
"can do it better" They stress
that Republicans can't give full
benefit to the county because
they are in the minority in the
Legislature. Like the G. o. P.

one party can accomplish more.
