BEGIN CRACKDOWN
ON LIQUOR DEALS
State Control Board Involv-
/ ed i'm Wholesale Arrests
in Tarboro
Daily Dispatch Bureau.

Raleigh, July 20. - The "crack
| down" on bootleggers in the vicinity
of Tarboro, Edgecombe county, where
56 warrants were served Sunday and
almost as many persons charged with
bOotlegging or violation of the State
liquor laws, is generally believed to
have been the result of the work of
''undercover" men employed by the
State and county control boards and
of the determination of the State Lii
quor Control Board to prove that
bootlegging can be stamped out in
the counties having control.
1T has been known here for several
weeks that the State Liquor Control
Board has had several under cover
investigators working in several of
the counties having liquor control, in
Guiding Edgecombe, also that it has
regarded conditions in Edgecombe as
being far from satisfactory. 1t has al
so been known that the state board
has more or less laid down the law
to several county boards, especially
in demanding that more effort be
made to suppress bootlegging in their
counties. But Chairman Guitar Moore
and the other members Of the board
have consistently declined to give out
any specific information.
It was more or less admitted today,
however, that the large number of ar
rests in Edgecombe county came as
no surprise and that both the county
and State soards have been quietly
gathering evidence there for many
weeks preparatory to the serving of
warrants.
1--WE know that bootlegging can vir-
tually be stamped out in both the
counties having liquor control and in
the so-called dry counties if the peo-
pie and the law enforcement officers
want to do it," Chairman Guitar
Moore said today. "But in those coun-
ties in which the law enforcement Of
ficers are not able to get the boot
leggers or do not want to get them,
the State and county liquor boards
are going to get them. Whether we
can get convictions, of course, is an
other matter, depending upon local
sentiment. But we can at least get the
evidence, swear out the warrants, see
that the arrests are made and present
the evidence in court-and we are go
ing to do that, although it will be up
to the juries and the judges to con
Wet"
In one county, for instance, a GER
tain group of bootleggers is known
to be operating, in spite of the fact
that the county has liquor stores and
liquor control. This particular outfi.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 2O.-At-

of Texas pilots himself to work

He hops from Austin to ANA

in little more than five hours for
the round trip.
1T would take practically day
to go and day to return any 9TH

VISITOR MUCH
PLEASED WITH
STAY in CITY
VERY MUCH DISCOUNTED
ON ARRIVAL; CONVERTED
INTO BOOSTER BEFORE
LEAVING

Bernard Greenberg, well known
attorney of New Haven, Conn.,,
came to Key West Wednesday
evening a disgruntled and very
much disturbed man, and left
yesterday afternoon for Miami,
with his views all changed and a
promise to call again and induce
his friends to visit this delightful
and hsopitable city"
Mr.. Greenberg's trouble was
that he had been given erroneous
information about the trip over
the highway and also about Key
West, and by the time he reached
the city he was ready to turn
right around and go right back
again but this could not be ar
ranged so he decided to make the
best Of the time and await the
immediate future.
Yesterday Mr.. Greenberg met
Everett Rivas and after a brief
chat, Mr.. Rivas invited the visi-
tor to take ride and see the
sights. Within a brief time
Mr.. Greenberg had arrived at the
conclusion that Key West people
were the most hospitable he had
ENCOUNTERED in his travels, that
Key West was a very interesting
city and he was enjoying every
minute of his stay.
Before he left on the plane
yesterday afternoon, accompanied
w Ills hlSSCS MISS 4nCAAiiot 6Otu-
stein, Mr.. Creenberg purchased a
number of curios several hundred
cigars and insisted that the name
"Key West" was was to be plac-
ed on each box, and declared that
his trip was one of the most in
teresting and entertaining he had
ever enjoyed
He said he had keen in a very
disturbed and dissatisfied frame
of mind when he arrived in Key
West and remained so until he
encountered Mr.. Rivas and would
never forget his visit nor Mr..
Rivas' for his painstaking eff
forts to make the trip pleasant
for him, and it would be his
pleasure in the future to advise
his friends to visit Florida and
under no circumstances to omit
Key West, as the visit would be
incomplete if this Island City was
not included in the itinerary.

Gives Status Citing
Old Age Assistance

1t is estimated that there are prob
ably 27,500 persons eligible for
old age assistance in Florida. If
each received $40 per month, the
states annual share of the cost
would be considerably in excess
of the total appropriation made by
the legislature for all welfare pur-
poses.
Factors which are taken into
consideration in fixing the amount
which each person receives are;
resources, living costs and health.
The payment is based on the needs
of the recipient only, regardless
of how many dependents he may
have.
''The federal government match
es state funds, dollar for dollar,
provided the aged person meets
the fixeds eligibility requirements.
The responsibility of determining
the need of each person, however,
is left with the state.
mo person is required to be-
long to any pension club or other
organization, to get old age as
sistance. Neither is the amount
he receives, nor the order in which
his application is handled, de-
pendent upon membership in any
organization"
