Vol. 30 No. 25
Prohibition's Repeal
Will Legalize Sale
Of Intoxicants Here
No Definite Action Concerning College Attitude
On Question Planned—Await
Legal Interpretations
Since no definite action has been taken as yet by town or College auth
orities to prevent its sale, distribution and sale of liquor locally under the
provisions of the Pennsylvania liquor control act will be legal when the
twenty-first amendment is ratified tomorrow. There is no information,
however, that any licenses have been applied for by local establishments.
No official statement regarding the liquor situation here has been made
by College authorities. The new liquor control act makes no reference to
tho granting of licenses in college towns, and at present there is no ruling
which would make the sale of liquor
in State College illegal.
Awaits Official Interpretation ••
In an attempt to learn whether the
old Brooks High License law still ap
plies in prohibiting the granting of
licenses to establishments in college
towns, Burgess Eugene 11. Lederer
has written to the Attorney General
for an official interpretation. It is
thought, however, that since licenses
ase no longer granted by the court,
the old law will not have any bearing.
-Under the State Liquor Cpntrol act
signed last week by Governor Pinchot,
municipalities may prohibit the li
censing of establishments by local op
tion. 'Residents of State College in
dicated their sentiments at the last
election when a majority was return
ed against repeal, but no definite
action can be taken by the voters until
the next borough election -in Novem
ber, 1939.
Doubts Sale Tomorrow
The new law provides a second
method by which in the future towns
that wish to forbid the sale of liquor
may do so. Although it may not is
sue licenses, the county court of quar
ter sessions is empowered to revoke
licenses, and fifieen citizens may pre
-Sent' a 'Petition . to'the . :Viiiirt 'for "the
revocation of such . licenses. After a
'hearing the court may suspend or re
voke the licenses if a just cause is
shown and this action shall be final.
Burgess Lederer declared that it is
doubtful 'whether or not liquor would
be available tomorrow since no li
censes have been granted to local es
tablishments. The uncertainty of the
situation and the financial risk in
volved in securing a license, which in
State College would cost $2OO, were
given as the reasonS' for the hesitancy
on the part of the local restaurant and
hotel managers.
License Requirenients Listed
Under the provisions of the new
law, State liquor stores, probably SOO
in number, will be established accord
ing to population for the sale of
liquor •in .containers or packages but
not for consumption on the premises.
Because of the comparatively small
population of Centre county, local au
thorities feel certain that a State store
will not be located in State College.

with very favorable results by dis
cusSiOn groups in many eastern col

Following the discussion on 'the
part of the faculty men, who will
cover the subject thoroughly, each
presenting his own ideas on the effect
of the recovery administration on the
government and economic system of
this country, members of the audience
will be invited to enter the discussion,
ask questions, and present their ideas.
Because of the timeliness of the
subject, extra seats will be provided
