Sheriff Blasts Bootleggers and State Officials in Oklahoma
EL RENO Oklahoma March 8 Sheriff Tiny Rouse accuses Oklahoma City's bootleggers and high state politicians of behind the recent liquor raids by the State Crime Bureau and Highway Patrol. He denounces raids on Canadian County taverns, claims by passing by his office, and cites a February incident when illicit whisky was seized then partly turned in to his department. He says the governor was unavailable to hear complaints and calls for proper notice before raids, while pledging county help to eradicate bootlegging if officials act with courtesy and respect jurisdiction.
