BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-State
Senator Claire Engle, 31-year-old
Red Bluff Democrat, early today
held an evidently safe lead in yes
terday's special election to name a
successor to the late Representative
Harry L. Englebright, Republican, in
the ID District.
Returns from more than two
thirds of the districts precincts gave
Mr.. Engle the advantage by virtue
of a split in the Republican vote
between Mrs. Grace Jackson Engle-
bright of Nevada City, widow of the
congressional veteran of II years,
and State Senator Jesse Mayo of
Angels Camp.
Returns from 287 of the districts
427 precincts: Mr.. Engle, 9,614; Mrs.
Englebright, 1862, and Mr.. Mayo,

Several months ago, the Arlington
County tVa) Ration Board found
that Navy men are good workers.
When the board was swamped with
the task Of mailing out 10000 easo-
line book renewals, 1t sent out an
urgent appeal for volunteers. More
than score of sailors responded
and helped to get out the renewals
we'll ahead of the deadline.
Until yesterday, the board had
received requests for exchanging
5000 gasoline books, with an un-
estimated number still to be
handled. Mrs. Roach said that none
OF the books are exchanged over
the-counter, but are taken care of
by mail. The sailors help in count
ing the coupons and addressing the
mail.

You would think that Navy men
working at a rationing board would
be asked "how come" at least
several times a day, but two sea-
men helping out at the Bethesda
Chevy Chase board have been asked
that question only twice in a week.
The two sailors who were helping
cut yesterday, when a reporter
visited the board, are convalescents

The sailors-J. K. Barth, store
keeper, second class, and L. B. Nor
ton, yeoman, second class-agreed
that work at the board was better
than playing cards or reading.
The seamen said they were glad
to do the work when they found
out how much help was needed at
the board, particularly with the
recent exchange work on B and C
gasoline books.

Gen. Arnold added that within the
near future the Air Forces would
have new fighter plane types which
will have advanced almost beyond
recognition in form and in the COM

Discussign existing armament and
tactics for aircraft, Gen. Arnold
said:
An incendiary bullet has been de-
veloped and for some time has been
in use with American so caliber air
craft machine guns-"the outstand-

Fragmentation antipersonal bombs
are equipped with parachutes, to
give low-fiying planes time to get
away before the explosion, and to
make the bomb land squirely on its
nose-the position which produces
the maximum effect" This effect is

TREASURY CLAIMS
MO0NSHININC UP
Improper And Falsified
Sales Records Are Re-
ported Uncovered

| WASHINGTON, Dec. b. vi -
The Treasury Department report
ed today that it's nationwide drive
against "black markets in alco-
holic beverages had uncovered i'm
proper and falsif1ed sales records
by some wholesalers and sharp
increase in moonshining.
A Senate judiciary subcommit-
tee will open an inquiry tomorrow
into the current shortage of whis
ky.
The Treasury campaign has
been directed principally, officials
said, to tracing large liquor sales
which might indicate a diversion
into black market channels.
Stewart Berkshire. head of the
Alcohol Tax Unit in the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, said proceedings
are being started to secure revo-
cation of pyemlts to do business
in cases where regulations have
been violated.
AS to moonshlning, the Treasury
unit said it had seized 507 illicit
stills n a recent tour week period.
The secures were principally n

shining was at its lowest level of
activity since repeal OF prohibition.
Discussing the Senate subcom-
mttee's plans, Senator Ferguson
(R. Mich said the lawmakers
were interested particularly in the
ability of some by-the-drink retail
ers to obtain sufficient supplies,
while state-owned stores can't get

Ferguson expressed the belief
that there is growing black mar

The Treasury disclosed also that
imports of gin from Cuba a N d

scrutiny because many. such ship

inferior spirits.
Similar difficulties have devel-
oped n connection with imported
whskies. Berkshire said in some

to contain cane spirits and flavor
ing often bearing little resemblance
to whisky.
Several substantial seizures have
been made recently in connection
with cutting and bottling opera

and New Jersey, with. some cases
involving counterfeit revenue

said. - r. .-,.'. LIZ.
AS to the general liquor stu
alton, Berkshire commented:
withdrawals Of distilled spir-
it's from bond for consumption for
the past six months are at the
rate of approximately IS per. cent
of withdrawals during 1912. This
is the resuI: of a self-imposed ra:
tioning system naugurated by dis
tillers, combined with an order Of
the War Production Board restrict.
ing the use of bottles to IS per
cent of the nunbre used in GER
tain base periods OF 1912.
This reduction in Withdrawals,
together with increased purchas-
ing power of the public, has Gre
ated a large shortage of liquor,
and has resulted in black market
prices ard the boarding of stocks
by some wholesalers and retailers,
and, to some extent. by preferred
consumer costulnerS.
