WHOLESALERS SWAMPED WITH BEER DEMANDS Indiana Distributors Attempt To Make Supply Last Over Sunday TODAY’S DEMAND REMAINS HEAVY Indianapolis, April 8 — (U.R) Indiana wholesalers were rationing out their supply of the new 3.2 per cent beer today in an effort to make it last over the week-end. From all parts of the state came reports that the demand was almost as heavy today as it was when the first bottles were opened yesterday. Frank McHale of Logansport, assistant state excise director, estimated that beer valued at $250,000 was sold in Indiana within 36 hours after it was legalized. That would mean that 96,000 cases were .onsumed. Indianapolis hotels and restaurant owners said their business had improved 100 per cent with the advent of beer. Because of the Indiana requirement that food be served with beer, business lioomed for meat, cheese and bread dealers. The D. C Jenkins Glass compa v of Kokomo was one of those feeling the effects of the new industry. Day and night forces were working full time making glasses and mugs for the beer and wine trade. Trucks arrived hourly in the state with brew' from Milwaukee. Chicago. St. Louis and Louisville. Breweries at Fort Wayne. South , Boi’d and Mishawaka also strtg ! gled to mee: demands. Bid For Control (By United Press) Gangdom made its first bid for control of legal beer today.

HURLS BOMB AT BREWING PLANT Damage of $1,500 Caused By Bombing at Prima Brewing Company Chicago.

No one was injured Ithougb the plant was in full operation. D.mage was estimated at $1,500. First theory was that the bomb was thrown by g ngsters as a w ruing against interference with their illegal beer trade. There also wan a possibility, police said, that tlie bl st was caused by disappointed dealer who did not get his supplies rapidly enough in the first rusi for beer.
