Urged by Board for
Legion Convention

Wholesale distributors of beer
in Washington are being asked
by the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board to put out most of
their product in cans during the
American Legion convention here
in August.
The board met with the repre-
sentatives of the liquor industry
yesterday in the Municipal Cen
tier.
Alan w. Payne, board chair
mand, told the meeting that. in
such a large gathering, there
would be a great deal of broken
glass in the streets, if much of
the beer was sold in bottles. Soft
drinks along the line of the
parade will be sold only in paper
containers.
During the convention. all
places where alcOnOllc drinks
are served will have signs on the
walls and on. tables, informing
patrons of the regulations con-
corning the serving of drinks
here in Washington.
Howard v. Covell, deputy chief
of police, said the signs will help
the visitors.
Ninety per cent of the people
will not violate the law when
they know what the law is" he
said.
Mr.. Payne said the board will
send letters to all license holders
in the District to watch out for
gambling in their places.
