Big liquor interests in Balti-
more and Washington will make
q financial killing If the major
distillers' boycott of the Mont
gomery County liquor dispensary
is successful, county officials
charged today.
The boycott could wreck the
81 million-a-year dispensary
system, according to County At
torney Charles M. Irelan.
Mr.. Irelan's warning came as
1t was disclosed that eight major
distillers had slapped a boycott
on the system during the last
six months.
By-Passes Distributors.
The dlstillers have refused to
permit the county to buy directly
from them as has been the
practice over the last few years.
The practice eliminates the dis
tributors' profits.
This boycott appears to be
a concentrated effort to drive
Montgomery County into the
hands of a few wholesale liquor
dealers" Mr.. Irelan said.
The county attorney praised
the county's dispensary system
as a good system that has
worked well and kept the county
clean"
He added it appeared the dis
tributors were getting ''concen-
trated pressure from the. whole
salers" who want to be cut in
on the Montgomery County busi-
ness.
These same distributors, Rob-
ert Linowes, assistant county at
torney said. apparently have adj
vised distillers that retail liquor
dealers throughout the State do
not want to sell their products
because they are dealing with
Montgomery, giving the county
a price edge over the retailers.
Prices in some liquor stores in
the District already are lower
than those in the dispenSary
system, but Montgomery County
has been able to maintain a
competitive price level through
special sales and through lower
prices charged as a result of
direct purchases from distillers.

DistiIIers' Boycott Threatens
County S Dispensory System

Those participating in the boy
colt that is threatening to spread
throughout the industry were
listed by Mr.. Irelan as:
National Distiliers Products
Corp, Seagram's. Kessler, Gal
lagher g. Burton Co.. Calvert.
McKesson g. Robbins. Schenley.
Overlook Eggnog Co.. and
Hiram Walker.
The Hiram Walker concern
has told the county it win dis
continue selling directly to the
system but as yet has refused
no orders, Mr.. Irelan said.
The National Distillers Corp
which, with Bellows & Co. divi-
sion. puts out % brands Of
whiskies-refused a county order
last February 7, Mr.. Irelan said
$4,000 Gases q Year.
The company sells about 1000
cases to the county a year. In
its refusal. the company said 1t
was referring the order to Mil
ton S. Kronheim & Sons. Balti-
more. Headquarters of the Kron-
helm firm are in Washington.
Rough estimates are that 20
and possibly 80 big liquor dis
tributors would cut UP q half
million-dollar pie at the expense
Of Montgomery County.
The county last year proflted
to the tune Of about $750.0 900 on
its liquor and beer mouopolies.
Oficials estimate the boycott,
II successful. would eat UP at
least half '.and probably more"
Of these profits.
20 to 30 Per Cent Rise.
Officials say that distributors
markups would force them to in
crease retail prices 20 to 80 per
cent.
The county liquor warehouse
is barren, Of the products from
the boycotting distillers. At
present all stocks are on dis
pensary shelves.
The county delegation at An

in the State shall forfeit his
right to sell beverages in Mary

More Freedom
For teacher
Urged
Action Expected
On Direct Reports
To Corning
By Jones G.. Deone

A move to give more inde-
pendence to the Districts
teacher colleges is expected in
the Board Of Education.
Two board members told The
Star today they feel the presi-
dents Of the colleges should re-
port directly to Supt. Hobart
M. Corning. rather than to as
istant superintendents as at
present.
In DR.. Corning's integration
reorganization plans - due for
board discussion today-the
teacher colleges remain one step
removed from the superin-
tendent. They would be super
vised by Norman j. Nelson, now
first assistant superintendent,
who is slated for a deputy super
intendency under the plan.
Greater independence for the
colleges, however, was recon-
mended two years ago by an ac-
crediting committee which sur
veyed Wilson Teachers College.
The same recommendation was
made for both Wilson and Miner
by the report Of the Strayer sur
vey in 1949.
Merger Planned.
Merger Of the two colleges is
planned under integration. Of
f1cials haven't yet decided on a
building to house them, however
DR.. Corning has expressed hope
Of adding postgraduate work to
the college course. There have
also been proposals to enlarge
the merged college into a full
scale city college.
Meanwhile, additional pressure
was lined up today to keep DR..
Carl F. Hansen in supervision of
elementary schools.
A school board spokesman said
an area council of the District
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers and II individual parent
teacher associations have urged
the board to reject DR.. Corn
ing's proposal to shift DR.. Han
sen to supervision of high
schools.
Would Promote Miss Lyons.
Under DIR. corning's plan, Miss
Edith A. Lyons, associate super
intendent in charge Of former
colored elementary schools, would
take over supervision Of all ele-
mentarieS, with Miss Katherine
Scrivener of the former white
division as her assistant.
Council A of Area4 of the PTA
Congress in letter asked the
board to consider retaining both
DR.. Hansen and Miss Lyons in
grade schools. The council cited
tne cltyS large elementary en-
rollment.
A similar request was made by
the Draper. Simon, Randle High
lands and Davis PTAs. Messages
urging DR.. Hansen's retention
also have been received from
PTAs of Ketcham, Kimball,
Mann, Orr. Patterson and jan
ney schools.
The Elementary Principals
Association and Elementary
Classroom Teachers Association
also have asked for DR.. Hansen's
retention. Both organizations
are in formerly white schools.
The Randle Highlands unit
suggested that Miss Lyons be put
in charge of special services.

pected to testify at a later date.
Chief Stein told the subcom-
mittee that he had received re-
quests from two Negroes In his
organization to be transferred
back to all-Negro. companies.
Integration, he declared, has
been q most unhappy experience
the men are discontented." He
said he had received many re-
quests from white flremen for
transfer, out Of the integrated
companies. He asserted the
white men thought they were
being Disseminated against by
having Negroes mixed in with
them and from the captain on
down. they objected very stren-
lously.
After Chief STEMS testimony,
Representative Powell, Democrat,
Of New York, wired District Com
missioner Samuel Spencer de-
manding the chiefs dismissal
"for his 1iagrant and blatant
anti Negro attitude"

Renewal Of License
For '5h Amendment
Piano Dealer Urged
star stan Photo.
By John W. stepp

A District hearing examiner
yesterday fatty damned William
shonick as 9 commonist solely
because he repeatedly has
claimed the fifth amendment.
but at the same time recon-
mended that the mans second-
hand piano license be renewed,
The report, by Charles w.
Hart, examiner for the Beard
of Review and Appeals Of the
District Licenses and Inspec-
tions Department. urges the
board to reverse an earlier deci-
sion by the Licenses Office.
The latter decision was based
on police report. which pointed
out, among other things, that
Mr.. Shonick refused to tell the
House Un-American Activities
Committee last July whether he
was a Communist.
Examiner Hart concluded that
If the piano dealer had answered
the questions put by the subcom-
mittee. the answers would have
been yes.
Repeatedly Active in 1854.
"Thst relation can be pre-
sulned to continue in the absence
of evidence to the contrary" Mr..
Hart declared. And then, re-
ferring to Mr.. Shonick's refusal
to answer similar questions in
the appeals hearing two months
ago, the examiner added:
II talso) find that appellant
was a member Of, and active
in, the Communist Party on
December 8. 1854"
But his finding that Mr.. Sho-
nick was a Communist had no
bearing on his qualifications to
sell used pianos, MIR. Hart de-
cided.
"a license to engage in such
a business may not be denied
for reasons unrelated to the
regulatory purpose" the exami-
ner said. Ordinarily a license
may not be denied as a punish
ment."
Calling attention to the fact
that the regulations require
secondhand dealers to be of
good character" he said Mr..
Shonick, whom he branded as
q Communist, sis not In the
strict and inclusive term q per-
son Of good character"
Held "SufIiciently Good"
But in the absence of any
showing that Mr.. Shonick ever
failed to comply with regulations
In the more than three years he
has held a license without ,.hal-
lenge. or that he ever dealt in
stolen goods, Mr.. Hart held that
the dealers character is SUI
ficiently good" under police reg
ulation definition to merit re-
newal of his license.
TT is not suggested, and it is
hard to conceive, how he could,
if he wished, further the Com
munist conspiracy by dealing in
hot pianos" Mr.. Hart declared.
To refuse license applicants
because Of membership In the
Communist Party. the examiner
added, would amount to a fiat
refusal TO license Communists,
which is clearly beyond the scope
Of any delegated authority under
the police power"
Challenge In Prospect.
David Rein. the piano dealers
lawyer, said he agrees with Mr..
Harris recommendation but dis
agrees with the examiners pre-
sumption that Mr.. Shonick is
a Communist because he claimed
the Fifth Amendment against
self-incrimination.
Mr.. Rein indicated he win
argue this point when the Sho-
nick case reaches the Board Of
Review and Appeals.
