NEW ATTEMPT MADE TO SOLVE BEER PROBLEM

GOV. CRAIG REPORTED IO HAVE ADOPTED A NEW METHOD

INDIAN APOLIS. March 27 — ‘INS)—Reports circulated today ‘hat Governor Georg® N. Cr ilg has adopted the shotgun wedding procedure in an attempt to solve his beer wholesaler problem. Under this method, a Democratic or a Jenner-Capehart P-e-pnblican faction 'wholesaler is forced to take as a partner a member of 'he C'aig GOP faction Th.® system fit si was employ®! by Democratic Governor Henry F SehrLksr who found that it brought a certain degree of peace to the tangled beer patronage problem. The Governor has tried many methods of solving this question under the terrific pressure of early Craig-for-Governor backers who had received indisenm-. inate promises of appointment to' juicy beer wholesalerships. » A host of these rosy promises were made vithout approval,of Craig oi of his major lieutenants, during the heat of the pre-con-" vention end election campaign*.Nevertheless, the ambitious, wholesalers have ho • led Ions’ and loudly. A wholesalership is comparatively easy t j obtain, but buying, popular-brand beers—that is an* other problem. The bre"eraprefer to deal with persons who have handled their products veil for years. That situation motivated the discriminator v charges brought against a number of brewers and be?r vholesalers. The Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission has failed to take action in these cases and that rs one reason the governor discharged Joseph Kyle, of Gary, as Commission chairman. One of tire governor’s close persona! friends, H DeWitt Owen, iorme! Terre Haute Judge,’ then was shif ,, 'd from head of the State Welfare Department to ABC chairman. Owen to data has been unable, to sok e the dilemma He and ABC members conferred with the brewers about taking care of the Craig-factvon vholesalers, but the bre era held their ground and stood by their old-time wholesalers. The situation. !s complicated by the f*< ’ that there are only six Indiana bre vet res, of which only half ; "oduc® fast-selling brands of b®er Fifty-six brew* eri®s of o‘ her 1 -iles sell their suds in Indiana Spokesmen for the brewer® maintain that the/ are entitled to sell theii bee> through est-ito® lished ag® • ••• ju. * as do man* otrica! appCrn es and other pro* ducts Th® upsh • is that the gover* nor may he ’® taken a leaf from -hr® ■ ' hi' ker’B book an.'! r pr ® ’ f he shotgun wide ding proved u?
