MORE EQUIPMENT AND
MEN NEEDED TO FIGHT
ILLICIT WHISKY TRAFFIC

Tampa, July 28.-Federal prohibi-
tion enforcement officers must take to
the air and water and have their
forces greatly augmented if the illicit
whisky traffic in this state is to be
broken up, according to Oscar Hill
burn, federal prohibition enforcement
officer for Florida. who retires August
1st in favor of A. L. Allen, recently
appointed under the republican ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Hilburn says the department
should have two airplanes, five fast
boats and 40 additional officers. Mr..
Hilburn pointed out that his force now
consists Of only ten men and added
that enforcement of the law under
present conditions is a "joke."
Though there have been been num-
ben of arrests and convictions during
his administration, he says, compar-
atively little progress has been made
toward ending the traffic In point
ing out the handicaps of his Office,
Mr.. Hilburn said, the whisky runner
frequently not only knows the ideenti-
ty of the federal officers but is con-
versant with their whereabouts. Hun
dreds of miles of the Florida coast
are unprotected. he says. and the willy
bootlegger resorts to varied and in
genious means to ply his trade. Some
conceal their wares by submerging
them in gunny sacks close to the
shore and carefully marking the spot.
Others maintain caches on infrequent-
ed keys. Frequently. according to Mr..
Hilburn, one of their number remains
to stand guard over the treasure, not
so much because Of their fear of Off
GERS but as a precaution against ma
rauding elements of the contraband
trade.
