Federal Agents Seize
Five in Glen Burnie
Alcohol Plant Raid
'Bietime Rocketeers' in
Jersey-New York Area
Are Called Operators
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, May 19.-Federal
agents have arrested five men in
a raid on huge "illegal alcohol
plant" described as part of a syn
dicate run by "bigtime racke-
teers" in the Northern New Jersey
New York area.
The plant, first of it's kind
seized in Maryland in 10 years
was located in a barn behind a
tavern about 2 miles south Of
Glen Burnie on Route 301.
Treasury Agent w. T. Benson
identified the men arrested a;
Alvin Rosenberg, 40. of Annapolis

|raided farm north OF Annapolis
Anthony Rossi, A, and David Cas-.
|tellano, both of Newark, N. j., anc
Frank Palmer or De Palama, IS, oi
Paterson, N. j.
United States Commissioner
John H. Skeen. jr., ordered them
held for the Federal grand jury
Bond for Jester was set at $1,50C
and for the four others at $4,000
each.
Hadn't Made a Drop.
Eight Treasury men found 4,255
gallons of sugar mash ready for
the cookers. The bootleggers had
not had time to turn out a drop
of alcohol.
Mr.. Benson said the plant was
ready to turn out a 180-to-185-
proof product for metropolitan
areas to the north"
This distinguished it from an
ordinary moonshine still which
produces a whisky of about 80
proof.
Unlike the whisky still, which
has to be closed down for cleaning
at the end of each run, the alcohol
plant is designed to around the
clock operation-mash vat to
cooker to 185-proof alcohol.
Had Big Capacity.
Mr.. Benson said the mash seized
would have made between 375 and
385 gallons of alcohol.
Only specialists could have put
such a plant together because OF
the pipe and steam fitting and
other skills required, Mr.. Benson
added.
Even with acetylene torches, il
took the Federal agents about
four hours to take it apart.
Mr.. Benson said the five would
be charged with possessing an
illegal distillery, manufacturing
mash fit for distillation and man.
Iufacture and possession of illicit
alcohol.
