(AP) A drive which federal narcotic agents hope will lead to the round up of one of the largest gangs of flllegal dealers in drugs was lnitl ated tonight throughout the east em part of the country by L.

Nutt has instruct ed narcotics agents at Detroit. Atlanta and Washington to be on the lookout for trunks cBntainnig narcotics sent from New York He said it had been learned through seizures in New York that the drug ring has pursued a method in shipping their goods designed to throw the agents off their tracks. He explained they would pur chase tickets to a point where they wished to ship the drugs, check the trunks containing nar cotics on the ticket, send the claim checks to an agent in the point of destination and then sell the tickets to some unsuspecting person. Nutt declared it might be found that trunks filled with contra band narcotics had been sent as far west as San Francisco. He said he expected to notify his agents in Kansas City 'and on the Pacific coast to be on the lookout for such baggage.
