Larson Seeks County Attorney's Aid In Drive

County Attorney Lester E. Ose is urged by Iowa Attorney General Robert L. Larson to cooperate in a state wide effort against illegal beer and liquor sales to minors. Ose should seek indictments and convictions where violations occur and involve licensing bodies, permit holders, the grand jury, and the public in Hardin County. Investigators will be sent to pursue all violators and bring them to justice. Some complaints lack prosecutable proof but justify licensing action or permit revocation where evidence is insufficient for prosecution.
