MOORE TALKS ABOUT
HIS CRACKING DOWN
State ABC Chief Going to Edgecombe
County and Show Them How
To Enforce Law

Raleigh, May 81 (AP)-Chairman
Guitar Moore, of the State ABC Board
said today he would go to Edge
combe county tomorrow to investigate
charges that bootleggers were not be-
ing prosecuted and promised to DO
.'some real cracking down."
Moore said wherever the chips fly
and land, they will be allowed to stay,
no matter how hard they may hit
somebody. We might as wei lcrack
down and crack hard now, or else the
business of trying to effect liquor con-
troll in North Carolina will be a colos-
sal failure"
An Investigator, Moore said, had
been sent to Edgecombe to investigate
n complaint that bootleggers who
bought liquor from the Abe stores
and sold it after dark are not being
prosecuted. He said the commission
ers had received a complaint from an
other county that some liquor sold at
an ABC store had been cut by steam
ing seals, pouring out a part of the
liquor and adding water.
