Y Col. William Hayward, United States
district attorney told the United Press
no distinction would be made between
ordinary bootleggers and members of
the most exclusive circles who disre.
gard the dry law.
A quiet warning went out that even
exclusive clubs would not be exempt
from raids if they attempted jollifica-
tiohs on New Years eve. Expensive
private stocks of -millionaires will be
the especial goal of federal agents who
interrupt such festivities.
The raid on the Racquet and Tennis
club which resulted indictment OF
13 wealthy men on a chargeof boot
logging and otherwise breaking the
Volstead act is only the first step to
make the dry law just as effective
among the rich as among the poor.
