Charges that a beer wholesale monopoly had been set up in. the Martinsville trading . area were formally discounted today by the Alcohol Beverage Commission. The Commission dismissed “for lack of evidence” a petition signed by several Martinsville residents, charging that a beer wholesale firm operated by Paul P. Knoy in Martinsville was financed indirectly by other beer dealéts in that area. The state liquor law prohibits inter-financng between beer wholesalers. Witnesses testified at a public hearing last week that official of a beer firm at Edinburg, Ind., were directors of a Franklin, Ind., bank where Mr. Knoy had porrowed money to finance his business. John Noonan, Beverage Commission secretary, said an investiga tion by State auditors disclosed that the loan was made before the 1939 beer control law was passed. The petition filed by Martinsville residents, asked that Mr. Knoy's license be revoked. The Commission’s order, denying the petition, stated: “No compeétent evidence was submitted to support the charges in the petition. 2

quest for a new gymnasium. The most pressing problem ab Shortridge’s cafeteria—the need for accoustical treatment — already is being taken care of, with a contract scheduled to be awarded at a special Board meeting Tuesday.
Enlargement Sought Additional plans call for enlarging the cafeteria to increase ‘its seating capacity from 350 to 700. A. B. Good, schools business director, sald this work would require a bond issue. Earl Buchanan, the Board's builds ing committee chairman, praised the Washington High School delegation’s “able présentation” of the school’s problems at Tuesday night's meeting, but did not commit himself or the Board on the proposed wing. The delegation based its request on the assertion that the school has an enrollment of 2500 in a building planned for 1800. At present, they said, there is inadequate space for shop training ahd domestic science.
Plans Being Drawn Up . Louis J. Botrinstein, an alumnus who initiated the movement for a new Manual gym, said his group has decided to take time to buttress its arguments before formally presénting them to the Board. The present gym seats only’ 500 at basketball games, and the school’s best games have to be played in other gymnasiums. The School Board already owhs two lots, one south and the other southwest. of the &chool, on which the new gymnasium could be érected, Mr. Borinstein said.
