er men employed by the state
liquor commission have no auth
ority to enforce prohibition laws
in North Carolina’s 73 dry coun
ties, Attorney General Harry Mc-
Mullan ruled today.
Cutlar Moore, liquor commis
sion chairman, requested the rul
ing after being informed by the
U. S. treasury department that
thousands of cases of whiskey
were being shipped monthly into
dry counties.
Salaries Paid By Wet Counties
The attorney general pointed
out that the salaries of the un
dercover men were paid from
profits of liquor sold in the
state’s 27 wet counties and held
that the men must confine their
activities to those 27 counties.
“It is my opinion that your
board does not have any juris
diction or authority in dry coun
ties to engage in enforcing the
violations of the prohibition laws
in such counties,” McMullan vote.
“I am discussing only the ques
tion of the authority of your
board to engage and employ
police officers to enforce viola
tions of laws against the sale of
intoxicating liquors in dry count
ies which have voted in favor of
county stores. I am not discus
sing other features of the act
which have no reference to the
police powers of your board.”
McMullan said that the local
option liquor Law, passed in 1937,
did not directly authorize the ap
pointment by the liquor com.
mission of undercover men. He
added, however, that the authori
zation might be inferred, since
the commission was instructed
“to see that all the laws relating
to the sale and control of alcoh

Olympe Bradna
Scores Real Hit
In Starring Role
“Stolen Heaven” Tit> Be At Dol
ly Madison Theatre Today
and Tomorrow
A story containing all the
charm and drama of another
“Seventh Heaven,” will have its
premiere tonight at the Palace
Theatre in “Stolen Heavsn,”
PaiomoUnl’s new musical drama
co-starring Olympe Bradna and
Gene Raymond .
Olympe, a vivacious and charm
ing French lass who deserves all
the praise now bsing showered
upon her, is seen as a lovable
jewel thief, while Gene Raymond
portrays her partner in crime
and romance. Prominent in the
supporting cast are Lewis Stone,
Glenda Farrell and Porter Hall.
The story deals with a pair of
young lovers, played by Olympe
and Raymond, who try to live
down their dangerous past in a
forest hideaway with a great
musician whom the world has
long forgot. This man, played by
Stone, has so strong an influence
on them that they give up their
plans to escape the country and
devote themselves to preparing
for the old man’s “comeback.”
On the eve of the festival,
however, their past catches up
with them in the form of Miss
Farrell and Hall, their former
confederates who arrive at the
hideaway and plead with them
to flee. All their normal instinct
for selv-preservation tells them to
flee with their ex-confederates,
but their suddenly realized de
votion to Stone makes them stay
and “face the music.”
