100 Million Bottles of Liquor
Sold Yearly as Holiday Gifts
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK UV-A1I that fancied
up glassware in the ads and in the
shop windows can be traced
straight to costly competition in
one of the most competitive of all
businesses. And some companies
wish they'd never started K.
It stems from this: Americans
annually give each other some 100
million bottles of liquor most
of it around this time of year,
Since that's no small market. dLs-
speeders : tillers go after those sales vigor
ously to the delight of the glass,
carton and wrapping paper in
dustries.
This year the splurge on decan
ters and fancy trappings is at
new neignt. rney re fancier, more
imaginative, costlier. And for the
first time imported whisky is gel
ling in tne act.
Some in the industry go in for
it reluctantly, holding that it costs
them too much for the return they
get. But they're afraid to stop the
practice unless their rivals do too,
So they hire noted industrial de
signers to turn out decanters
looking like anything from old
fashioned syrup containers to
ship's lantern bottles that play
tunes, bottle tops that are cigar
ette lighters or double for candle
sticks cases that can be used
as end tables, their drawers filled
with bottles.
Others concentrate on cartons
with holiday motifs, some with a
needlepoint effect on monk's cloth
background.
The trouble is that, expensive
as all this is, most distillers are
convinced that the fancy decanter
will lure the gift shopper away
from the plain bottle on the shelf.

CHICAGO Wt-Strcngth and sur
prise are the key elements in the
defense against death on the high
ways during the holiday season.
The top targets are
and drunks.
Those points were brought out
today in an Associated Press sur
vey of plans in many states to
curb motor vehicle accidents dur
ing the Christmas and New Year
periods.
Last year 609 traffic deaths
were recorded during the three-
day: celebration of Christmas, a
iccord for any holiday. The New
Year observance added 364.
Christmas and New Year's Day
were on Sunday last year, and the
festive weekend included Saturday
and Monday..
Each is on Tuesday this time,
and. the long holiday period in
cludes the preceding weekend plus
the intervening Monday.
More cars, more people and
more hours of exposure to danger
in the four-day holiday periods
ahead call for more effort. Jn
some states the extra effort is tak
ing ; the form of added police
strength.
Reinforcements arc being called
up iin Tennessee, Maine and
Texas.
Tennessee's regular 309 - man
highway patrol will be augmented
by 60 troopers normally assigned
to the driver's license and safety
education divisions.
All troopers who ran be spared
from other duties will be assigned
to highway patrol duty in Maine.
The regular highway patrol in
Texas will be Increased by extra
officers from the. motor vehicle
licensing and weights divisions.
That will add about 120 men to
the usual force of 500.
Every available officer will be
working a 10-hour day on highway
patrol in Washington state. They
will be aided by scout planes of
the National Guard and the State
Game Department.
All leaves for troopers will be
canceled in Vermont.

Move to Cities
Or Starve Said
Indians' Choice
Reloeation Program
Opposition Found
High in Study
NEW YORK uB Many Ameri
can Indians, says a leading Indian
interest organization, are faced
with this choice: leave their homes
on the reservation to move into
large industrial cities or starve.
The Association on American
Indian Affairs, Inc., in a report
I lie ' f-.iv, ".;i i

on its survey of the government's
controversial relocation program,
says that the program is "hu
manely operat.d" and needed by
the destitute Indians living a bar
ren existence on undeveloped re
servations. Under relocation, reservation
Indians are resettled at govern
ment expense in industrial cen
ters Los Angeles, San Francis
co, Denver, Chicago, St. Louis
and San Jose where year-round
employment is available.
The association, however, urges
the government's Bureau of In
dian Affairs to get behind a Point
Four program to "elevate Ameri
can Indian communities to the
level of health and well-being pre
vailing elsewhere in the United
States."
The survey team, headed by Dr.
Mary H. S. Hayes, spent months
in on-the-spot research and study.
The report was written by La
Verne Madigan, the association's
executive director.
More than a million dollars was
spent in the last fiscal year in
relocating about 4,275 persons.
The report said, however, that
"as long as the relocation pro
gram remains the only program
being carried out visibly and
vigorously for the Indians, as long
as the Indians have no economic
choice between relocation and
something else, that long will the
program have to carry the blame
for all the bureau's and the coun
try's omissions."
The survey team found bitter
opposition between local organiza
tions such as clubs, churches
and Indian centers and the re
location offices in the big cities.
These community groups were
right, says the association, In
questioning the motives of the pro
gram, but "in their almost ex
clusive concern with federal In
dian policy they failed to strength
en the Indian newcomers' belief
in their ability to succeed."
In urging the Bureau of Indian
Affairs to develop tribal communi
ties economically, the association
says that as long as Indians have
no decent alternative to emigra
tion from their homes, the bu
reau's relocation program will be
under suspicion as a device to
move the Indians off their land.
