Henry MacArthur reports that the new California liquor administration, to take over Jan 1, will emphasize honesty and integrity. Col Kenneth Leitch leads with Malcolm Harris aiding, selecting James Reimel as chief enforcement, Bion Gregory as chief hearing officer, Norman Woodbury as special assistant, and Phil Davis for Los Angeles area. Whitaker stays on. Hugh Strachan plans to leave. Ed Clark’s fate unclear.
