ABC Board Gets Appeal Nashville Attorney Seeks Permit For Rocky Mount Cafe Proprietor The State ABC Board took under consideration yesterday an appeal by Hubert May, Nashville lawyer, for the return of a beer permit to Whit Whitfield, Negro proprietor of Whitfield's Cafe in Rocky Mount. Whitfield's permit was revoked last July 16 on evidence indicating he had sold beer to a 15-yearold youth. May pointed out that while his client was convicted of this in recorders court in Rocky Mount, appealed and was acquitted in Nash Superior Court. There, May said, the judge dismised the charge when the youth could not remember whether the beer he got cost 25 or 30 cents a can, whether it was in cans or bottles and whether he bought one or two beers. Whitfield had testified that he sold beer only in bottles, never in cans.

The youth had said in a hearing held by ABC malt beverage investigators that he bought two cans from Whitfield and paid 25 cents each. Parents Protested May said he understood that parents of school youths in Rocky Mount became alarmed yast year because beer was being sold to their children. They held meetings and a crackdown resulted. The lawyer argued that in view of the youth's change of evidence in Superior Court and the judge's decision acquitting Whitfield, the Negro should have his beer permit returned. May noted that Whitfield's record has been good and his cafe had a good reputation.

Tom Allen, chairman of the ABC Board, promised that "we'll investigate and let you know in a few days." The Board also took under consideration appeals from Mrs. Martha Jane Reavis, proprietor of Reavis' Grocery, Harmony, Rt. 2, for return of a permit revoked on December 5, 1955, for allowing drunks to loiter; and from Oscar Eugene Sells, proprietor of South End Pool Room in Landis, for return of a permit revoked on March 10 because lottery tickets were found on the premises and it was discovered he had a court record. R. H.

Chandler, proprietor of Oak Grove Market and Grocery in Durham County, asked the board to issue him a beer and wine permit and allow him to employ his brother, Preston. Chandler lost his permit last year when a smal quantity of whiskey was found in the place and the brother had a quarrel with a beer inspector. The revocation was changed to a 90-day suspension on condition the brother not be allowed to work in the place. Chandler said that under these terms he could have obtained his beer and wine permit last November 3 but didn't because "I had no intenItion of selling any more beer or wine. Since, however, he has discovered that he needs to sell beer in order to make a profit from the business.

And, he said, "I need Preston in the market." He promised that if the board agrees there will be no more trouble between his brother and the inspector. Request Rejected The board turned down a request from Michael G. Samaras, proprietor of Minute Lunch in Winston-Salem, who asked that a 90-day suspension be reduced to 60 days so he could get his permit back immediately. The board revoked five beer permits and suspended four others and also suspended one wine permit. Beer permits revoked were: D.

W. Bailey, Bailey's Filling Station, Grimesland, Rt. 1, for allowing drunks to loiter; Clarence and Cleveland Hail, Mountain View Inn, Roxboro, for disorderly conduct; Albert Mills, Mills' Drive In, Spring Hope, Rt. 2, for employing an ineligible person and allowing whiskey on premises; Mrs. Elizabeth Woolard, Twilight Grill, Washington, N.

for allowing whiskey on premises; and J. C. Aughtry, Belmont Grill, Charlotte, for allowing beer to be sold to a minor. Beer permits suspended were: Bobby Marshall Beaty, Beaty's Service Station, Charlotte, Rt. 5, 180 days for allowing gambling and selling beer after midnight; Lealond M.

Cox, Sportsman's Grill, Belhaven, 45 days for allowing beer to be drunk after hours; Thomas A. Karam, Karam's New Bern, Rt. 3, 90 days for allowing disorderly conduct; and Charlie E. Carawan, Carawan's Filling Station, New Holland, 120 days for selling beer on Sunday. Beaty also lost his permit for 180 days for the same ofpfense.
