Association
To Challenge
Liquor Law

Licensed beverage dealers
in Montgomery County have
threatened legal action in an
effort to invalidate the coun-
tvs liquor law, which per-
mits sale of hard liquor by only
three county restaurants.
Kenneth Patrick, a represent
ative of the Montg o m r y
County Licensed Beverage AS
sociatioh, said Monday tn e
group will file a suit challeng-
ing constitutionality of the law,
which has remained unchanged
since 1888.
The law, Patrick commended,
is unfair" and "unconstitu-
tional in that it permits only
three establishments to sell
liquor by the drink" In addi-
ton to the three licensed res
taurants, viewer, fourteen
other places are permitted to
sell liquor because they qualify
as bona fide country clubs, for
which separate license privi-
leges are provided.
Patrick told the impending
legal action in Annapolis after
the county's legislative delega-
ton rejected request that it
introduce a bill to authorize a
referendum on proposed extern
sion of liquor privileges to other
restaurants in the county. A
similar request was turned
down by the delegation just a
week ago.
The beverage association rep
resentative appeared before the
delegation With a stack of cards
which he said bore the sigma
lures of 1000 county voters sup
porting the proposal to legalize
the sale of cocktails at restau-
rants other than those now Ii
censed.
Delegate Blair Lee, III, chair.
man of the county delegation,
said the legislators did not feel
it would be appropriate to intro
duce "such highly controversial
legislation at this late date" A
similar reason was given when
the associations proposal was
turned down last week.

scheduled date for the arrival
of the Cooks fourth child, ex-

The successful delivery took
place in the family car, parked
off Route 240 a few miles north
of Rockville, when Mrs. Cook
interrupted the emergency mis-
sion with the announcement
'the baby's coming"
A former medical student at
the University of Michigan,
Cook said his college training
came in handy "along with my
rural background" in an opera
ton that was climaxed when
the harassed father removed his
shoe-string for use as a neces-
sary medical device.
After wrapping the baby in
his jacket, Cook drove to the
State Police headquarters in
Rockville where an escort was
provided to speed the family on
to Suburban Hospital.
The mother, who remained
calm, cool and collected"
through the ordeal, and Lisa
Lea, who weighed in at seven
pounds, two ounces, were pro-
nounced in fine shape when
they arrived at the hospital.
They've returned home, where
both are doing well.
AS for the proud father, he's
also doing well, accepting with
good humor the rubbing from
fellow employees who have con-
ferred on him the title of doc"

New York IL, N. Y.
We wish to acknowledge
your letter regarding the prob
lem of migrating lunch coun-
ters in the Southern states. AS
you know, all of our lunch
counters in other sections of the
country are fully integrated.
Our Company will integrate
our eating facilities in any COM
munity in which the citizens
show that they are willing to
accept the plan. We think it
reasonable to expect department
stores with eating facilities, and
drug stores, to join with the
variety stores when indignation
takes place.
In the past few months we
have successfully integrated our
stores in Galveston, Austin and
San Antonio, Texas, and also
Nashville, Tennessee, and Wins
ton-Salem, North Carolina.
Our store managers are glad
to meet at any time with repre-
sentative groups of local citizens
to discuss this problem. Such
discussions are currently taking
place in various cities. We hope
that they will lead to productive
results.
We believe that progress will
continue, as it has already start
ed, community by community.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr.. Helfrich,
Several weeks ago we wrote
you a letter informing you that
we were no longer buying at
Kress Stores until the policy of
lunch : counter segregation at
your southern lunch counters
was changed. AS a result of this
letter, we received a mimeo-
graphed letter from you dated
June, 1860.
AS a public relations man,
you may be interested in how
we reacted to this letter. Since
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1961-01-12

fmost people who would write
to you on this issue are probably
committed to the principle Of
equality as we are, our reac-
tons may be somewhat repre-
sentative.
Let us preface our remarks
by the general statement that
your letter was most disturbing
in it's failure to recognize segre-
CATION as a moral issue. Most Of
our reactions relate to the CEN
trail issue that the S. H. Kress
Company is engaging in prac-
tees that are simply wrong.
First, we are encouraged by
the need for mimeographed
and unsigned letter. You must
have had SO many letters like
ours that you cannot answer
them individually.
You point out in your first
paragraph that Kress lunch
counters are segregated only in
the Southern states. In other
words it's not wrong to segre-
gate by race only in some areas.
This is like saying that you only
give short weight in the west or
that you only serve adulterated
food in the north.
You list five southern cities
where you have, after pressure,
integrated lunch counters. This
demonstrates that you could do
the same in other cities without
difficulty. Experience with Fair
Employment Pra tice laws
wherever they have been enact
ed is that fears about the horri-
BILE consequences are ground
less. Your own experience in
these five cities should demon
state this.
The letter contains two state
ments that demonstrate the fall
ure of the S. H. Kress Company
to take responsibility for any
act of moral leadership. You
insist that you will integrate
lunch counters only after the
citizens of the community show
that they are willing to accept
the plan, and that other stores
must integrate at the same time.
In other words you are con-
firming the necessity for the
sit-ins and the boycott - that
S. H. Kress will take no action
until there is a demand or until
others take the lead.

Bruno Bettelheim's article
''The Ignored Lesson OF Anne
Frank" in the Nov. 1860 HAIR
PER'S brings out a point I'd
like to shout from the roof tops:
"The universal success Of THE
DIARY OF ANNE FRANK sug-
gests how much the tendency
to deny the reality Of the camps
is still with us, while her story
itself demonstrates how such
denial can hasten our own de-
struction The Frank FAM
ily's attitude that life could be
carried on as usual was glori-
fled precisely because it did
lead to their destruction. BY
clarifying it in this way, we
were able to ignore the crucial
lesson Of the story-that such
an attitude can be fatal in ex-
IRENE social circumstances !.
While the Franks were making
their preparations for going
passively into hiding, thousands
Of other Jews in Holland and
elsewhere in Europe were try
ing to escape to the Free World,
in order to survive or to be able
to fight. Others who could not
do so went underground - not
simply to hide from the SIS and
wait for the day when they
would be caught-but to fight
against Germans and for hui
manity. We gather from the
Diary, however, that the chief
desire of the Frank family was
to go on with life as nearly as
possible in the usual fashion :. !.
Little Anne, too, wanted only to
go on with life as usual, and
nobody can blame her. But
hers was certainly not neces-
sary fate, much less a heroic
one; it was senseless fate. The
Franks could have faced the
facts as did many Jews living
in Holland. Anne could have
had a good chance to survive,
as did many Jewish children in
Holland. But for that she would
have had to be separated from
her parents and gone to live
with a Dutch family as their
own child Everybody who
recognized the obvious knew
that the hardest way to 60 un-
foreground was to do 1t as a
family; to hide as a family
made detection by the SIS most
likely. The Franks, with their
excellent connections a m 0 IN g
gentle Dutch families, might
well have been able to hide out
singly, each with a different
family. But instead it would
seem that the main principle OF
their planning was to continue
as much as possible with the
kind of family life they were
accustomed. Any other course
would have meant not merely
giving up their beloved family

Worse still, the panel Of
experts who set the ques-
tions, agreed with the hus-
bands. Development into a
successful tycoon, they said,
wasn't likely to be influenced
by a wife, however witty,
chic and charming.
What it takes, they said,
was that the man should be
