AGENTS FIRED
MOONSH|NERS
REJOICING
Act of Congress Cuts Down
Force Of Dry Raiders;
Stills Plentiful

Since midnight last night,
Southern Maryland moonshinerS
have been operating "in clover"
The reason Is that Federal
prohibition agents in the section
lost their jobs at midnight under
the new reorganization plans
made by Congress in the last few
minutes of the last session, and, it
will take some time for the "rev-
enuers" to build up workable
staff to watch them.
That means a lot to the five
South ern Maryland counties
where, agents declare, every third
family is interested in still. The
loss Of the agents left county
police unequipped to handle the
problem.
The small staff of five agents,
under the direction of Thomas
Bailey. agent in charge. who
handled the district from Upper
Marlboro, did not know this
morning whether they had jobs or
not as Internal Revenue men.
Most of them called for their
checks at the Baltimore head
quarters today.
The reorganization does not
take away the office of U. S.
Commissioner from j. Frank Par
ran of Upper Marlboro but it
does remove much Of his business,

capture at a still.
