Since prohibition was repealed in the District of Columbia in January, 1934, no patron of a public cocktail room or restaurant had seen his drink mixed Or if he had, it was only by taking an illegal peek, because a stringent law required bartenders to be hidden away be, hind screens, cubbyholes or elsewhere out of sight All stock of liquor had to be kept out of sight The reason for that went back to the democratic platform adopted in Chicago in 1932 The party then urged enactment of local laws that would actually promote temperance and "effectively prevent the return of the saloon The District of Columbia was the only place where President Roosevelt was responsible for carrying that recommendation Into effect, and he paid close attention to the law which legalized liquor here. One provision forbade standing up to drink at bars. That remains in effect.

Another was the "hidden bar" requirement. Repeal was not many weeks old before patrons began to complain that in some places they were not served the brand of liquor they ordered, that olives and cherries were used over and over again In cock- taifc and that drinks were diluted. Mr. Roosevelt yesterday signed a bill repealing the mandatory hidden bar provision and placing discretionary authority in the hands of local alcohol beverage board. Some of the board's new rules: Bartenders can come out of hiding; drinks can be mixed at bars, but customers mustn't stand there; drinks may be mixed at tables; liquor may be poured from bottles at tables Autos Sideswipe On Carson Road Cars driven by C.
