PLAN AERIAL CAMPAIGN
Federal Dry Agents in Florida 10 Fight Distillers and Rum Runners With Planes.

Pensacola, Fla. April R-Fed- cral prohibition enforcement officers prepared an aerial campaign today against illicit liquor distillers and runners. Planes of navy type will bo equipped for warfare on both land and sea and will hunt the liquor law violators In the Eladcs as well as along the bayous of the coast.
 Philip F, Hambeach, federal pro- hibition administrator for Florida, with five members of his force ar rived here today to complete nego- tiations for'the airplanes.
 Tracking the liquor manufactur- CTS on land has proved a hard task in Florida because of the inaccessi- hle nature of many swamps and glade sections. Lonely hooks along the coast have also provided cover for the rum runners and it was be- lieved that the use of the airplanes will enable officers to hunt down liquor bands that otherwise would escape.
 Of the II. S.-21 type. the air. planes have speed of 90 miles an hour and will be piloted by expert. cnced flicrs with records in army and navy aviation.

 The pass out of turn has been clarified, and when made before q bid the player in error may not bid, double or rodoublo until the first bid has been overcalled. In any case the pass out of turn Is void.
