CUSTOMS ALERT
FOR OPIUM RUSH
Large Ship m ents Elk.
pected as Result of
Sine. Japanese War

Philadelphia - CUP David
MacFarlane, local bureau manager
Of the U. s. Customs Service, dis
closed that large amounts Of opium
are expected To be sent To this coun-
try as result Of the Japanese inva-
sion OF China.
MacFarlane said that huge stores
OF the dreamy" tobacco were
threatened by Japanese invaders
and dealers shipped huge quanti-
ties abroad In an effort to escape
confiscation by the Japanese.
Chinese opium dealers know that
a good price can be obtained for
the drug in this country" MacFar-
lane said, land they are willing to
take the risk Of smuggling it into
the United States rather than let
II fall into the hands Of the Jap
anese."
MacFarlane said that close watch
Of prices Of the drug In New York,
which Is considered the center Of
opium business because of its large
shipping trade, enables customs Of.
flcials to detect whether they missed
a shipment elsewhere along the
coast.
when the price of opium sud-
denly drops $40 or $50 1t indicates
the smugglers have been successful
somewhere along the coast" he said.
THE enforcement Of laws hold
ing shipping companies responsible
for any smuggled opium found on
ships has aided the government In
keeping this menace at q new low"
MacFarlane explained.
1.-THE owner Of any ship on which
opium is found is fined $25 an ounce
for all contraband seized" he said.

Hartford, August 81 - Connecti-
cuts newest industry will make It's
bow in the aviation world tomor-
row. The Pioneer Parachute Com
pany, of Manchester, will announce
the manufacture and distribution Of
a parachute designed to reduce aer-
onautical fatalities.
The new parachute company Is
located close to Cheney Brothers
Silk Mills in Manchester, is now In
full production and hopes to add
approximately 100 employees to its
payrolls within a few months.
Nearness to raw materials, close
proximity to Connecticut's increas-
ingly important aviation centers and
Governor Raymond e. Baldwin's
militant program to encourage new
business to locate in Connecticut led
to the selection of Manchester as q
site for permanent production.
Although q newcomer to Connec-
ticut, the Pioneer Parachute Com
pany's initial announcement comedies
with the states traditional Yankee
ingenuity in that 1t comes at time
when a national program for train
ing civilian pilots is getting under
way; when the War Department has
received the largest appropriation
In history for aeronautical defense;
and when the aviation industry In
