Police are apparently needed in
Prince Georges County to help
halt illegal Sunday liquor sales
in taverns has been challenged
by the county's chief Of police.
Mai. George ]. Panagoulis
agreed yesterday with States At
torney Blair H. smith that the
Sunday sales are being made in
some Of the county's 10e tayerns.
But he declared that his l30-man
force is capable Of correcting the
situation.
The chief said he was surprised
to learn Mr.. Smith had gone to
State police without discussing
the move with him.
IT told Mr.. Smith before
Christmas ! was working on this
and last Sunday we had our men
compiling information that we
thought would lead us to a num-
Der Of arrests today during
checks on 20 tayerns, . Maj. Pam
agoulis said, adding:
"We1l send the men out any
way today but in light of what
Mr.. Smith has done the taverns
have been warned and / ,don't
think wen accomplish any,
thing"
Agree on Goal
In a statement yesterday, Maj
Panagoulis said his department
concurs with the States Attor-
Iney that Sunday liquor sales
must be stopped.
I'VE feel" he added, that We
can eliminate them by ourselves
but we welcome any assistance
to obtain this goal. including the
Maryland State Police"
The law permits only the sale
of beer and light wine in Prince
Georges on Sunday.
Mr.. Smith said Col. Elmer
Munshower. superintendent Of
State police, has promised hin
the use of plainclothesmen fol
tavern duty when specifically re-
quested. The men probably vii,
be called next week, Mr.. Smith
added.
Col. Munshower said his mer
have been loaned to other coun.
ties for similar work. He added
he assumed his men in Prince
Georges would gather evidence
to turn over to county authori-
ties.
Much to be Done
Mr.. Smith said his call on Col
Munshower Friday was prompt
ed by county police failure ir
the past month to stop illega
Sunday sales. The prosecutor
reported the situation improved
last week but said there still Il
much to be done.
Maj. Panagoulis said tina
