Comment On This and That

Washington fU.R) A de
fective for the Bureau of Cus
toms has to have the usual six
senses, plus a
lot of horse
sense on the
side.
"We catch a
lot of profes

'what we look for mostly. ,
He admitted that an honest
looking tourist may sometimes
slip through if he's the gambler-type
who's willing to risk
his reputation and a heavy fine
to escape an import duty.
. A traveler may be bringing
. back an extra fifth of cognac or
champagne, above the one gal
lon of beverage he is allowed
duty free. The customs men
may loqk into only one bag, if
vnn haup an hnnpst pve. If the
"
extra bottle is not in that bag,
the tourist has managed to
Ccheat Uncle Sam out. of a few
cents. If it is in the bag well,
Jie's been caught smuggling,
valued Possessions
When I went through customs
safter a trip to Paris, the man
asked what was in this and that
bag, and I told Jiim. He asked;
me to open only my duffle which
contained only dirty 'underwear
and some carbon paper. Maybe
I could have sneaked in a trink
et or two. But how did I know
which bag he would ask me to
open? I'm glad I didn't try any
pettyjarceny.

only $500 worth of goods per
person duty-free when return
ing from a foreign country. Pres
ident Eisenhower asked Cong
ress this week to raise that to
mnn
: During the last year, there
were more than $17,000 inves
tigations, both civil and crimin
al. There were 615 arrests and
388 convictions. There were
about 1000 seizures of goods
worth over $15,000,000. Fines of
. over Sl.300,000 were levied.
Coffelt opened his files. One
party was caught with the in
nards of $10,000 worth of Swiss
watch movements concealed in
the false bottom of a box con
taining X-ray equipment. This
fellow was caught, fined and
jailed.

Feature Writer
"when a crook is coming in we
are tipped off in advance by our
agents overseas. . It's a simple
matter to greet him when he
docks."
Many Tricks
People will try anything to
get away with cheating.-Women
tie things like drugs and jewels
under their girdlesi Or they hold
diamonds under their tongues.
(These are dumb and , g e t
caught when they are asked
questions). .
A lot of big folks travel with
heavy loads. If they- are- legiti
mate, the customs people see
that the stuff is inspected ahead
of time. Their gear is looked into
and sealed under government
bond to speed up operations.
Back in the early 30s when
the late MGM movie director
W. S. Van Dyke was about to
leave for Africa to film "Trader
Horn," he had gathered tons of
equipment" for a seven-months
journey into the Dark Contin
ent. Since most of the equipment
was to be returned to this coun
try, the customs people check
ed it out in advance and put it
under bond to ease their burden
when it was returned.
Sometimes folks get caught
for not. knowing what they can
bring back and what they can't.
Everything brought back must
be declared. One passenger- re
cently thought he was smuggling
a bunch of saffron (yellow color
ing) into the country. He ,had
gone to a lot of trouble to "con
ceal it.
. He caught himself a " penalty
for concealing ' things. Plain
truth was, it could have come in
duty free. ,
