(AP) A complete reorganization
of the bootlegging Industry In I
Oregon was predicted tonight byj
George Nuener, United States dis
trict attorney, because of the new
Manor law enacted by the last
session of congress' making it a
felony instead of a misdemeanor
to sell liquor. The law increased
I the maximum ' penalties to five
years and a $10,000 fine.
Already the law is having a de
cided effect on the, Portland re-
tall bootleg Industry. The max
imum under the former law was J
six months and a $500 fine.
Smaller retail dealers, Nesner
said, have been forced to curb
their activities, whieh even at its
best, has never paid the fabulous
returns generally attributed to the
racket. As far as the big opera

The first truck load of embassy

for this purpose, arrived today un
