Private clubs push liquor access in Arkansas appeal
The owners of 90 private clubs challenge a court order closing their venues in dry counties seeking to stay open during their appeal. They cite revenue losses and debt of 10 000 to 300 000 while opponents decry the clubs as fueling lawlessness and corruption. A Monday Supreme Court ruling could affect Hempstead county voting on wet or dry in 1978.

Carter proposes changes in food stamp program
President Carter asks Congress to keep current benefits for most recipients while stopping them from paying part of the aid. The plan would disqualify about 600,000 families, cut or cap benefits for 1.58 million, and raise 880,000 more households into the program, with opposition from Senate leaders and White House budget staff amid a broad water projects lobby advancing in Congress.

Attorney General Rules On Dry County Liquor Use At Clubs
The attorney general said a club member in a dry county may bring his own liquor to the club and mix a drink but cannot sell liquor. A one gallon possession limit applies. Pools and replenishment by member charges could be legal depending on setup but may violate law in some forms. The ruling follows a circuit court decision that earlier invalidated club permits.
