THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THRIIEN 11 1 111' Michigan Beer Dealers Want Hoosier Truce Embargo On Indiana Came In Retaliation For Recent Port Of Entry Charges LANSING, March 3.-()-A dele-. gation of Michigan wholesale beer dealers headed for Indiana tonight seeking to arrange a truce in a tariff war between Michigan and Indiana. Governor Murphy and the State Liquor Control Commission rejected the group's request earlier in the day for abandonment or postponement of a scheduled embargo on beer man- ufactured in Indiana. The embargo, to become effective March 14, is in re- taliation for port of entry charges levied by Indiana against Michigan- made beer. The Governor referred the delega- tion to the Commission, and the Commission served notice that the first step must come from Indiana. Compromise Suggested Liquor Commissioner Hale G. Knight suggested the basis for a com- promise, but the Commission made no promises of how it would act even if the plan proved workable. At his suggestion the beer distributors will ask Indiana to waive port of entry fees on beer shipped from Michigan. He said Indiana's attorney general should be asked for an opinion on the legality of such a step. Edward W. McFarlana, commission chairman, told the delegation of 55 distributors that "our hands are tied." He explained that a new state law makes a mandatory embargo against any state imposing tariffs or fees against the importation of Michigan beer. He said the Commission "has no choice but to obey the law." Committee Chosen The delegation chose a committee of four to represent it in Indiana. It is composed of J. E. Smith, of Jack- son, president of the Michigan Whole- sale Beer Distributors Association; T. F. O'Connor, Detroit, executive sec- retary of the Association; W. S. Berry, of Kalamazoo and William Engel, of Benton Harbor. James A. Kates, Detroit distributor, told the Commission his business would be "wiped out" by the embargo because he handled Indiana beer ex- clusively. Berry said 65 per cent of the beer he handles is manufactured in Indiana. The Michigan Commission dropped a hint today that it might broaden its beer embargo to include distilled liquors if that became "necessary." Indiana distilleries annually ship 300,000 cases of whisky into Mich- igan. State Suffers ThirdHoldup Police Blockade Highways To Trap Gunmen ALPENA, March 3.-()-State po- lice maintained a highway blockade in the Alpena area tonight in an ef- fort to trap two gunmen who obtained $1,500 in a holdup of the Secretary of State's office here this morning. After taking the money, the bandits locked R. L. McGillis, the manager, and two of his assistants in a back room. It was the third robbery to occur at a b'anch office of the Secretary of State in five days. Last Saturday holdup men obtained $3,000 at the Big Rapids office. On Monday night the Mt. Clemens office was entered and robbed of $300. Tuesday was the deadline for purchasing 1938 automobile license plates in Michigan and for this reason most of the branch offices have had considerable cash on hand. McGillis described the robbers as well dressed and about 25 years of age. Police here said they learned that the men fled in an automobile. "It was at least 10 minutes before we could attract attention after being locked up," McGillis said. Captain I. J. Hathaway, of the Traverse City state police post, said tonight that a portion of an automo- bile license plate had been found on U. S. highway-23 11 miles west of Alpena. Murphy Entering Postoffice Dispute LANSING, March 3.--A)-Gover- nor Murphy entered the controversy between the State and the City of Lansing over purchase of the old Lansing Postoffice Building today with the statement "The State ought to have it." Pointing to crowded conditions in the State Office Building-and to the State's desire to move some offices to the old Postoffice, Murphy de- clared, "It is to the best interests of all that our requirements be taken care of first. Besides, I dickered with federal officials in Washington re- cently and made that public. That's when the city began to get interested in acquiring the building." Glenn Frank Tells G.O.P.
