Knowles' statement on out-of- state students, a departure from his text, was the strongest he has made on the subject recently.

Mayor Otto Festge also said he city would do. Aid. James Piofferle, Third ward, chairman of the operators license review committee, said the decision might cause the council to "go to legislation to stop all women from becoming bartenders in Madison." "I believe the attorney general ruled we have a right not to issue licenses to women," Pfcfferle said.

He added that the moral character of an applicant was an important factor in granting a li cense. The council has been granting women bartenders licenses after the aldermen amended city ordinances because they felt bar ring women applicants was discriminatory because of sex. Aid.

Pfcfferle said he felt that the committee, while it was slower at first in granting licenses to women, had recently been trying to be more practical and was getting to the point where women would not have to be interviewed every time. As alderman I'm charged with the responsibility of living up to the ordinances of the city, and I feel that the committee has considered the applicants fair ly," he said.

Commission action was precipitated by an Incident July 4 at.

Several aldermen were at the park, and Aid. John Connell, 16th ward, proposed the ordinance which the commission recom mended in part for council adop tion. Connell voted against the recommendation bee a he said, the provision barring distribution of literature should be left in.

"I have never objected to the reasonable distribution of litera ture," Connell said, "but I be lieve it is a violation of privacy to force literature on people who don't want lt." William O. Hart, 1330 Mound st, asked the commission to re ject the provision prohibiting distribution because, he said, the prohibition would violate the con stitutional protection of freedom of speech. Park Supt. James Marshall asked the commission to take a position on five points: ONE. Decide it sale ot any merchandise should be prohibit ed in parks unless specifically allowed.
