CINCINNATI, November l3.-The
forced landing of an airplane near
Ironton, Ohio, disclosed today that
since late October the Coast Guard
Service has been engaged in search
for Ohio bootleg whisky stills.
The Coast Guard ship. piloted by
Lieut.. w. D. Shields of St. Peters,
burg, Fla, nosed over at Crown Point
late yesterday. Both wings were
ripped away, but neither Lieut..
Shields nor his aide, Aviation Ma
chinist's Mate Tom E. Palmer, also
of st. Petersburg, was injured.
Disclosure that the plane was seek
ing to spot" Illicit stills came from
Col. Basil H. Minnich, district head
of the Federal alcohol tax unit here,
to which it has been assigned since
October 26.
At first, echoing Lieut.. Shields as
sertion that the plane was engaged
in an aerial survey" Col. Minnich
later said it was attempting 70 ferret
out whisky sources which were de-
priving the Government of consider
able revenue"
Minnich said that so far as he
knew Lieut.. Shields ship was the
first and only one in the Coast Guard
Service to engage in the work in in
land sections of the United States.
II don't believe the service has suffi-
cient planes or personnel to enter
it on any widespread SCALE" he de-
clared
Col. Minnich said decision to enlist
the Coast Guard in the work followed
suggestion that use of plane over
the hilly and wood-studded terrain
probably would speed detection of the
stills, with their tell-tale columns of
smoke.
