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.

of the embassy or legation must

has been known actually to take

transporting the liquor.
