Two members of the Hot
Springs Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board who the state
has asked to resign said
Saturday that they would
refuse the state's order.
Chairman R. W. Ponder, T.
A. Russell and Clyde Hunt
singer had been asked, in
effect, to resign or be removed
in a letter sent this week by
Chairman L. C. Holshouser of
the state ABC board.
The letter cited "many
discrepancies" that "have
caused us to feel that you and
the other members of your
board can no longer be con
sidered fit to serve on a local
board."
Ponder said in a telephone
interview that "we tiled an
answer to their complaint"
Friday. When asked if he

planned to resign, he said, "I
never have run under fire in
my life and I'm too old to start
now."
Russell said he had no in
tention of resigning either.
Huntsinger could not be
reached for comment.
Holshouser said Saturday
during a telephone interview
in Raleigh. "They've been
carrying on some misdoings
up there. We have allegations
to the effect that they are not
running the store properly."
"We have specific charges
against these people which we
cannot at this time make
public," Holshouser said. He
also said the board had an
auditor's report on the
operation of the Hot Springs
ABC store in hand.

Should the board members
not resign, according to the'
letter, Holshouser is prepared
to inform the mayor and the
town commissioners "in what
respects your board is con
sidered unfit to serve."
He said that the state board
will take administrative ac
tion if the situation is not
resolved locally and that the
board members would be
entitled to a public hearing.
Holshouser said that this is
the second time this kind of
confrontation has taken place
with a Hot Springs board, the
first being during the ad
ministration of Gov. Dan K.
Moore, a Democrat. He said
the Hot Springs ABC store has
been "rather a fuzzy operation
for a good while, I guess."
