Meanwhile three bootlegging arrests were reported, with bonds posted and upcoming hearings.

The law, aimed at thwarting enemy plots to blow up plants and cripple production, has cut explosions by up to 80 percent in the U S.

Dealers and druggists are urged to safeguard explosives against theft as war prices rise and theft attempts increase.
