Twenty five Destroyers to Herd a Lone Pint
The Coast Guard faces liquor smuggling by air from the Bahamas to Florida. Rear Admiral F C Bilard testified to Congress that three Coast Guard planes operated in Florida last winter as a deterrent. He estimated liquor smuggling into the United States has fallen to one eighth of former levels in the last two or three years. He noted no Pacific coast destroyers and limited craft there, with three cutters and some tugs and patrol boats in San Francisco and southern California. The commandant said more vessels would be assigned to duty there, and that with adequate equipment the Coast Guard could seal smuggling routes.
