D. c. Liquor
BY a Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. ga res
olution asking the Maryland
Controller to continue a study
of the price differential between
liquor sold in Washington and
Maryland was introduced in
the General Assembly today.
Sponsored by Senator H.
Winship Wheatley, Democrat
of Prince Georges, the resolu-
ton says that State liquor tax
receipts are adversely affected
because so many Marylanders
buy liquor at cheaper prices
in the District.
State officials say there is
considerable importation of
liquor from the District into
Maryland despite Maryland's
regulations against it.
Liquor dealers in suburban
Maryland have complained that
there. is no justification for
much of the price differential.
They claim that District re-
tailers are selling many brands
cheaper than Maryland retail
ers can buy it at wholesale
prices.
The resolution asked the con-
troller to make studies "in COL
liberation with the Federal
Trade Commission, other Fed
eral agencies concerned with
this interstate problem, and the
Congress of the United States"
and report back to the General
Assembly next year.

Eleven persons were arrested
yesterday as mass protests
aimed at desegregating restau-
rants and lunch counters on
Maryland's Eastern Shore con-
tinued.
Six Negroes and three whites
were arrested in Easton and
charged with trespassing as
they attempted to sit-in at two
restaurants. A seventh Negro
was arrested on the same
charges in CheStertown, Mod,
and a white man also was ar
rested there and charged with
assault and battery on pickets.
State police said the assault
and battery charge was brought
after Thomas M. Elbourn of
Rock Hall, Md, backed his car
from a Chestertown restaurant
through a picket line. No one
was reported injured
A few pickets were reported
also in Denton, Md, but police
said no incidents or arrests had
resulted.
Those arrested on trespass-
ing charges we're released on
bonds ranging from 500 to
$500.
Leo Burroughs, jr., publicity
director of the Civic Interest
Group of Maryland, sponsor of
the mass protests, said the
EaSton group numbered about
10. He said many were college
students from northern colleges
and universities.

did see gay, albeit miniature
Mardi GraS parade. Torch
bearers, drafted from the Uni

their ability to march - and
march and march and march.
They started the parade at the
Capitol, wound around Penn
sylvania avenue and the White
House, then on to Connecticut
avenue and the Sheraton Park
Hotel, where the fancy Mardi
Gras Ball was held.
The only others who made it
on foot were the marching
band picked up by bus and
driven part way and Lola and
Marvin, two mules who pulled
a "Tally-Ho" wagon.
There were seven motorized
floats and a couple of carloads
of dignitaries.
A small crowd notWithstand-

Since the State moratorium
bill exempts pending annexa-

has yet to be approved by the
Senate, the councils action ap-
parently will come we'll within
the deadline for such suits.
Battle Predicted
However, the town will moi
gain the additional acreage
without first waging a battle
against a familiar adversary
the Prince William County
Board of Supervisors. The on
again, off-again fight between
the town and county began
prior to the towns incorpora-
ton in January, 1857. When
the subdivision petitioned for q
town of liza acres. more thar
twice the amount it was finally
granted, the board of super
viSors forught against it.
The county board will oppose
this latest annexation as fer
vently as it opposed the last
one, said Board Chairman o. j.
Fitzwater.

you must offer them some
thing" Mr.. Fitzwater said
Manassas Park is the only
town I know where you can't
buy a bottle of milk. I don't
believe they're in any shape to
take on more land"
Mayor Mclean disagrees. The
towns new water and sewage
treatment plants and garbage
collection equipment can easily
supply the needs of the an
nexed area, he said. Also, the
town is prepared to extend its
police service and street hight
ing system to the annexed area,
he said.

product that can be bought
