NEW YORK. Sale of C.W.A. jobs
to destitute unemployed workers, by
both A. F, of L. union officials and by
C.W.A. officials, and political favor

Roosevelt CWA. apparatus, now
taking place in Los Angeles, Detroit,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh New York and

The oountry's distiilers have asked
the Treasury for strfcter liquor Law
enforcement which would probably
decrease their oHn sales.
An appeal for special efforts to
curb the shipment Of tax-paio Liquor
into dry States has been made. on
ciais said. To the alcohol tax unit Of
Secretary Morgcnthaus department.

A. result, inquiries are being
made into q number Of cases where
wholesalers IN vet States adjoining
dry territory are receiving shipments

In their own legitimate business area.

groups he represents were actively CO.

posing indirect movement OF tax-paid

sible effects the flow OF liquor into
prohibition areas might have on the

With a plentiful supply Of tax-paid

It was pointed out also that many

Dlscouragement Seen.
Officials of the tax unit have
conceded that In some cities in theo-

corporation effectively has discour-
aged Federal attempts to suppress
illegal sale Of tax-paid liquor, although
agents are proceeding vigorously
against moonshine whisky that doesn't

These officials said tax-paid liquor
Is sold 'wide-open" in many cities in

South.
The Treasury investigation Is di-
rected particularly at preventing
wholesalers In wet States from dis
posing Of liquor for indirect shipment
TO dry territory.
Doran said wholesalers selling for
shipment into dry States would in
many cases be liable under both Fed
eral and State laws. The Federal law
prevents shipment into dry territory,
