LEXINGTON PARK, Md.
April 1.-THE long-suppressed
resentment Of the Navy against
loose enforcement of liquor laws
in st. Marys County finally has
welled over.
The Navy is spearheading a
vigorous breakdown on its own
personnel involved in viola
tions.
County officials are cooper
ating-they say, willingly-in
the first serious Joint effort in
a decade to clamp down on the
serving Of liquor to minors and
after-hours drinking.
Primary targets Of the drive
will be along the Strip" a
string of 20 taverns within
walking distance OF the main
gate Of the Patuxent Naval Air
Station, whose $25-million-a-
year payroll primes the pump
Of this county's liquor and SLOT
machine economy.
Closer Surveillance
In addition to the Strip" a
source Of unfavorable publicity
to the county for many years,
others OF the 22l taverns and
night spots in the county will
come under closer surveillance.
THE Navy is not conducting
a war or a crusade" says Capt.
