The task of getting liquor (from porta of entry safely into the embassy or legation is hard enough, but to be forced to stand guard over one's cellar is something else, j "Embassy liquor" a term com- j monly used around Washington lone has been, a delicate problem.! , It is one subject assured of front Blease ot South Carolina. While he was In the senate he sel dom lost an opportunity to speak his mind on this question. Thirsty.; Americans frequently are permitted to enjoy diplomatic hos pitality In. Washington without be ing interfered- with by law. On such occasions- ihey probably forget that a sort of prohibition tax has been paid either by the host o rhls government.- Not that it would make any difference. . . "This Is embassy stuff" Is an ex pression frequently heard by a host anxious to impress a thirsty one of how good his "stuff" is. If all these claims were true, embassies and le gations would be nearer in size to warehouses than residences. burning tobacco from an automobile.

NOT SO EASY Almost everybody 'knows that dip lomats may import as much liquor as they care to, regardless of pro hibition. That is one of the privi leges of diplomatic status. But there is more to it than merely having the right to bring it in. They must transport it from the port of entry, usually- Baltimore,' in trucks, for movement by freight train is prohibited. There they run the risk of being hijacked en route. In most Instances the diplomats take . out- "holdup insurance" to guard against financial loss. - The rates are high, and although the shipments come in duty free, by the umo the insurance and cost of trucking is paid, the amount of money-, expended is considerable.
