Duff Names 3rd Member of LCB
Governor James H. Duff named Frank D. Armstrong of Paxtang Dauphin County as the third member of the State Liquor Control Board. The $10 000 post is effective until the end of the next Senate session for confirmation. Arab workers caused a shutdown and refinery openings failed plans this week. Syria's action on a pipeline concession remains tied to American economics concessions in Arabian countries. Oil from British fields was offered to U S distributors last year. The Syrian stance is viewed by some as a tactic to secure oil from one line while preserving a defense against partition.
