Statewide Liquor Rationing Unlikely in Maryland
Baltimore June 3 Distillers and liquor distributors in Maryland foresee no statewide consumer rationing like in other states. William Schimmel of the Maryland Institute of Wine and Spirit Distributors says informal statewide rationing by distillers and wholesalers has worked for six months and fits Maryland needs since a state system is not in place here. He warns that as stocks dwindle and without a government holiday from industrial alcohol production, retailers will have less to sell each month.

The floor fight lasts five hours, with lawmakers postponing final action to review rival bills and an expected Ramspeck measure aligned with the Connally bill.
