Domestic liquor leaks also have been stopped to a great degree. he said, through the con- ccntration in fewer distilleries o, the medicinal liquor stock. As q result bootleggers, he understands, are turning to use of industrial al cohol.
 Must Use Wood Alcohol
 The international revenue law re- quires the government to denature industrial alcohol so as to prevent it's use as a beverage on which much higher taxes are levied. The treas ury secretary intends to enforce that law, and government chemists de- clare wood alcohol must be used as one of the denaturants, but Mr. Mel lon hopes that this chemical can be so kept down that it will not be in- furious to drinkers.
 Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary Andrews is concentrating his forces against the industrial alcohol leaxs and under a newly organized squad he believes diversion into bootleg channels can be reduced greatly.
