New Press Policy By Beverage Board To Avoid Hit-Miss Release Os News INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —The newly appointed Indiana alcoholic beverage commission chief set up a new publicity policy today to avoid the hit-miss news releases of the past. Maj. Walter Weyland, on leave from the state police, named ABC secretary Victor O/Walmer to release news of ABC actions without delay. In the past, news has been released in no uniform manner and ABC actions often reached public print days or weeks later. The first news released under this new system was among the most dramatic to come out of the ABC in some time. Steve Swarczkoff, of Richmond, lost his license for the Steve’s liquor store on charges of "aiding and abetting bootlegging.” Four Marion county retail estab: lish merits drew suspensions as did an Indianapolis tavern. No action was taken in another tavern case and judgment was deferred in another. Two Persons Killed In Car-Truck Crash INDIANAPOLIS (INS) Two persons were killed in a car-truck accident on Ind. 67 at Fortville today and three others were injured.

Less seriously injured were Shirley’s sister, Carmen Smith, of Owensville, and truckdriver Thomas Montgomery, of Cincinnati, Ind. 41 Coal Miners Are Killed In Germany GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (INS) At least 41 coal miners were killed and 21 injured in an explosion Wednesday night at the “Dahlbusch” mine.
