In fact it was learned here todav
that the first opinion on this question
issued by the attorney generals office
several days ago, and then recalled

unconstitutional. 1t is understood. that
the first opinion, written by an as
sistant attorney general while point
ing out that no state could pass i,
law restricting interstate commerce
was so worded that one sentence in
it was capable of being construed in
such a way as to make the opinion
say that the burlington Act was UNI
constitutional. This opinion was also
given only to the morning newspapers

current reports, called his attention

upon he cancelled the release, called

but "he may not seize such intoxi-
eating liquors transported in inter-
state commerce between points of
origin and destination without the
State"
That evasiOns of the burlington
Act may be expected TO occur was
anticipated by the attorney general,
who said further in his opinion:
"Evasions of our state law may be
expected constantly to occur through
claims of persons found to be trans
porting liquors that their cargoes
come within the latter classification
Here is situation that calls for the
exercise of sound judgment on the
part of those whose duty it is to en-
force the law and who are under the
necessity at all times OF acting with
due prudence
The attorney general also indicat
ed that in his opinion additional re-
gulatory laws will be necessary, when
he said:

here, this opinion is likely to be usad
by bOotleggers and rum runners as =
cloak for their activities. If officers
stop trucks or automobiles loaded with
liquor the drivers can very easily say
that they are transporting the liquor
from some point in Virginia say, 10
some other state where ii NAV be
legally sold. They may even have bills
of lading from point origin to the de
stinatiOn. But this will not prevent
them from selling few cases here
in North Carolina en- route, or even
the entire shipment.
The only thing this opinion will d.
as [ see it, said state official who
is also a lawyer, will be to assure
a more plentiful supply of illegal
legal liquor here in North Carolina
and at more reasonable prices than
would otherwise have been the case,
since under this ruling the rum rum
ners will be running less risk"
Several days ago the attorney gen
eral issued a ruling in which he held
that grain alcohol could be shipped
