Acting on a ruling from the Attorney General, Frederick County State's Attorney Walter E. Sinn has not pressed a charge of selling beer without a license against Joseph E. Coons of Hagerstown. Coons was arrested earlier and his trial was set for yesterday. The non-pressing of the case does not affect similar charges against two Baltimore men in truckloads imported for sale under $500 bond. Frederick law requires a $1,000 wholesaler license. Some breweries supplied beer to unlicensed sellers, undercutting licensed dealers who protested the price.
