Palmer Watches for Booze Cases to Test New Law
Washington July 2 The attorney general office monitors wartime prohibition violations to test the legality of bans on 1.75 percent beer and stronger drinks. Cases for court tests may probe whether the law forbids beverages over one half of one percent alcohol. Reports say saloons in Atlantic City sell hard liquor despite the law and some dealers offer whiskey in beer and wine products. In Omaha on July 2 a flatbed locomotive accident revealed seventy-six pints of whisky hidden in a boxcar tank, traced to a Cedar Brook bottle shipment, sparking an investigation into bootlegging methods.
