ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 8 (R.-
State agents trying to curb
moonshining in Maryland regard
it as a triple threat lawbreaker
1t deprives the State Of taxes
1t creates a social problem
through indiscriminate sales to
minors and has no regulation on
hours and days Of sale.
The lack of sanitation in It's
manufacture creates "a fraud on
the State health laws"
These are the views of Robert
N. Lucke, a lanky young redhead
who regards pursuit of moon
sinners as the No. job of his
alcoholic beverages tax enforce
ment unit created by the 1858
legislature.
The group. which has been
functioning over a year, also tries
to check Importation OF non-tax
paid whisky into Maryland and
assist in local whisky law viola
ton cases. But its most relent-
less chase is after the moon
shlner-the man who sets UP
his operation in his home or a
patch of woods.
Scored rs Social Evil
Lucke regards moonshine and
its unregulated production and
sale as a social evil the public
does not fully appreciate.
I'VE received a call from a
Washington hospital" Lucke re-
lated of an incident that &C.
Cured last year. "A 5-year -old
boy was brought in drunk and
they had to pump his stomach.
They thought it was moon
shine"
Checking at the boys grand
fathers house. State agents
found a moonshine sales oper-
alton. Agents have also found
evidence Of sales to minors who
couldn't buy whisky from a L.
censed dealer.
Take a Whit of that stuff, !"
he said, uncorking q bottle
seized in a raid in Anne Arundel
County the day before. Ever
smell anything so raw?"
The fact that it's only four
days old and was made under
highly unSanitary conditions
makes no difference to the regu-
lar moonshine customer. Lucke
says. He'd rather have it than
pay the same price for bonded
whisky.
Actually, it undersells legal
whisky by a good margin. and is
