dope. RUNNERS
TARGET Of
TARIFF
By KENNETH CLARK

Stringent measures to break up
dope smuggling rings were incor-
porated in the new tariff bin pre-
scented to the House yesterday.
The new provisions relate chiefly
20 enforcement of fines and pen.
@lties against vessels on which
opium Is smuggled
Heretofore the Government has
been handicapped in it's fight
against dope smuggling because
the penalties laid only against the
master of a ship, and made inef-
fective any attempts to fine and
penalize a company operating the
vessel.
Under the new regulations, the
master or owner of q ship shall
be liable to a penalty of $25 an
ounce for smoking opium seized
on board, and the penalty shall
constitute a lien upon the vessel.
Clearance of any such vessel
may be withheld until the penalty
II paid or until a bond satisfac'
tory to the collector Is provided.
Obstacle Removed
The new provisions also repeal
provides that a ship may not be
seized or forfeited unless the Gov.
ernment can prove that the owner
or master had knowledge that
Illicit opium was sboard.
The old law was changed in
order to enable the Government to
fight more effectively the traffick.
ers who are smuggling dope into
the country explained Representa-.
tive Hawley R), of Oregon, chair
man of the House Ways and Means
Committee. I'VE believe it will do
much to break up the smuggling
operations by making ship owners
liable II contraband goods are con.
eealed on their vessels"
Other DOpes Fought
Restrictions on illegal importa-
tion of dope other than smoking
opium are contained in the mar
cotics exports and import act,
under which a fine equal to the
value of the drugs shall be laid
against a ship, and bond Of twice
the value shall be posted before
the vessel can leave port again.
Another aid to enforcement sought
by narcotic officials provides COM
pensation to informers who tip off
the Government on Illicit ship
ments. 1t shall be Is per cent TO
the net amount recovered, but shall
not exceed $50,0a0 in any specific
case. Money to pay these awards
is provided in the bill.
Penalties for violating the SNUG.
Cling laws are a fine of not more
than $4,000, or Imprisonment of
not more than two years, or both.

To fully realize just what a food film in your mouth MEANS
all you have to do is think ofyour ice box when the ice has

rises q single degree above 500 F. the activity of bacteria be-
