liquor car which led to the dis-

North Carolina is to be sold at

order.
Seised by police and alcohol
tax operatives in Winston-Salem,
the car contained only a quarter
of a pint of liquor—halt of a
half-pint bottle — but evidence
was presented to the effect that
it had been widely used in haul- j
ing liquor.
It was found to have been reg
istered in a dead man’s name and
led federal agents to uncover the

The Russians were reported to

Desipite the lake barriers, and the
heavy forests, the Russians were
able to use some tanks on this
