Fisli Landed 15
Bootleggers In Jail
NEW YORK, — (iP) —A flock
of tippling fish landed 15 men—
right into federal court.
The pickled pickerel and their
finny friends were given credit
for hookingg 15 alleged bootleg
gers, accused of plying their trade
at stills in Orange and Dutches
Counties, New York.
The men were indicted on char
ges of defrauding the government
of $520,000 in alcohol taxes.
They were reeled in, U.S. attor
ney Robert Mitchell said, when
they got too lazy to carry the
mash from their stills to a for
est nearby.
Instead, Mitchell said, they
dumped it into a brook that ran
by one of their moonshine mach
ines.
Mash killed so many fish that
local anglers got suspicious.
Their complaints started fed
eral officials angling around and
led to a raid on the stills.

Outbid Americans
For WAA Surplus
SAN FRANCISCO, —(ff) —A
gents of fereign governments, their
pockets bulging with American
credits, are buying up war sur
plus the War Assets Administra
tion “couldn’t give away” a few
months ago.
Buyers for Norway, Austria
and Finland bid so eagerly for
locomotives, wire cable, construc
tion machinery and like items that
prices kited out of reach of Am
erican commercial buyers.
The foreigners accounted for
about half of the $765,666 in pur
chases during the two-day sale.
The 787 lots of materials origin
ally cost the government $5,938,
j 065.
J “A few months ago, we couldn’t
give some of this stuff away,”
I said a WAA spokesman. “All this
stuff was offered a month ago
to priority bidders, veterans and
! so on.”
American buyers were protest
ing the foreign agents’ price-hik
ing tactics. The WAA pointed out
I its object was to get “the maxi
mum market price—the most mon
i ey the taxpayer can get back on
! his property” and left the inter
! national policy involved to “other
! agencies of the government.”
The three governments bought
on credit established with WAA
|
as a result of loans or prospects
of ERP aid.
The army withdrew yesterday
a number of lots of strategic mat
erial. It is no longer surplus, the
army explained.
