Pockets Slapped as 18 Held by Customs on Ship Visit
At the French line pier in New York 18 visitors to the liner Ile de France were taken into custody by customs agents for liquor infractions. Colonel William B Crow said most paid fines at the pier to avoid publicity. Four thousand male visitors, many socially prominent, were slapped as they left the vessel.
