Britons Turn
To'Hard'Stuff
LONDON (INS) - More and
more Britons are switching from
beer to wine and "hard , liquor"
today,
Beer consumption fell again in
1953 to about 18 gallons per head
compared to a peak rate of 32 gal
lons per person at the turn of the
century, j ;
But more wine was drunk in
these islands during 1933 than in
any post-war year while the con
sumption of spirits (whiskey, gin,
rum and brandy) also set a new
post-war record.
Britain;. Wine and Spirits Asso
ciation disclosed that Britons
downed 10,339,316 gallons of wine
last year as against 9,634,792 gal
lons in 1932. ;
Furthermore the figure for wine
relates to imported wine only, as
the association does not recognize
wine made in Britain as wine in
the strict sense of the word. Nev
ertheless, British wines ' were
drunk to the extent of 4,774,000
gallons, an increase of 4Mt percent
on 1952. v ' ....
Hard liquor or spirits consump
tion rose to 10300,905 gallons (over
ejght million gallons home-distilled)
.350,000-gallons above the
1952 figure. ; ' f

PORTLAND (UP) The Oregon

ported here it had distributed more
than 15 . million dollars to local

ended June 30. j
The commission said $13,082,596
went to the general fund, $1,240,276
to incorporated cities and $914,822
to counties. Although 1 the total
amount! was $3,500,000 higher than
the distribution for the j preceding
fiscal year; the commission . said
it didn't mean an increase in
liquor sales. Most of it was ac
counted for by the fact that less
was received for working capital
and funds previously accumulated
for inventory investment were re
leased.

Go-by From
State Officers "
- ATLANTA (UP) Atty. Gen.
Eugene Cook, president of the Na
tional Association of Attorneys
general, said today he refused to
invite U.S. Atty., Gen. Herbert
Brownell Jr. to the association's
1954 convention because of Brown
ell's "ruthless political" attacks
on segregation, former President
Truman and the late Sen. Robert
TafU .. -
Cock gave the explanation in a
letter to New York Atty. Gen.
Nathaniel L. Goldstein, .who had
criticized him for not . asking
Brownell to speak at the associa
tion's 'convention at Edgewater
Park, Miss., Dec. 8-11. It will be
the first time in 41 years that the
U. S. Attorney General has not
addressed the conferehce.
Cook said Brownell's j "some
times irresponsible, ruthless polit
ical conduct has done irreparable
damage to our efforts to promote
better federal -state relations"
which Cook termed the majip pur
pose of the association. . .
Unlike some other rabbits, the
