Logan public school swamped by raging Scioto River shown near center; a drive-in theater was in lower left Pressure Slowly Stamping Out Moonshiners, Service Claims Washington -(Science Service)- The Internal Revenue Service here has bad news for the nation's thousands of moonshiners. Continuing Fed eral pressure is slowly stamp ing out illegal whisky mak ing. Revenue agents in fiscal 1958 put 9,272 stills out of business. This compares with 11,820 in 1957, and 14,499 in 1956. The drop in seizures re flects a drop in moonshining, reasons Thomas Bailey, chief of IRS's enforcement branch of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax division. Still-hunting "revenooers" are just as num erous and hard-working as ever, he said. Should Bewara Bailey said the .public should beware of moonshine for health reasons. "Frequently," he said, "we find dead skunks, possums and rats in the mash from which White House Should Take Responsibility For Stimulatina Enqineerinq Manpower Washington (Science Ser vice) A Presidential com mittee has advised the White House to assume responsibil ity for coordinating and stim ulating the development and utilization of the nation's sci entific and engineering man power. In releasing its report, the President's committee on sci entists and Engineers made two additional recommenda tions: 1. Key programs developed by the committe should be continued as being of vital importance to the further de velopment of manpower po tential. 2. A committee of Cabinet members should examine the problem and recommend to the President a suitable White House organization to assume the responsibility for the pro gram. The President's committee was organized in 1956 to stim ulate non-federal activity and to develop an effective, inte grated approach among the many organizations concerned with technological manpower.

Illegal boze might also con tain wood alcohol (methanol) which can blind and kill its victims. In 1958, there were 27 known deaths in New York City traced to the illegal mak ing and sale of 30 gallons of whisky containing wood alco hol. Many others were ser iously injured. The worst case of poisoning on record occurred in Atlanta in the early 1950's when about 40 persons died from drinking whisky made with wood alcohol. Bailey attributes the steady drop in still seizures to the work of his department in putting the "major" violators out of business. Biggest Problem Despite this, he said the seven southern states North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten nessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida still present the biggest problem. ing an all-out effort to profit from the scientific revolution" as are the leaders of Commu nist China. He emphasized that our sci entific and technological man power have been intensified rather than diminished in the two years. Dr. Bevis, presi dent emeritus of Ohio State university, added that this is why the committee "strongly recommends" the Chief Ex ecutive's office to take action. Some of the moves already undertaken by the committee are: 1. A progarm for the con servation and effective use of existing supplies of scientists and engineers in cooperation with industry, universities and professional societies. 2. The organization of lo cal and state groups to work toward Improvement of pri mary and secondary educa tion with emphasis on science and mathematics. 3.

DAVIS, Exalted Ruler JENNINGS PIERCE, Chairman, Circus Committee It is roughly estimated that more than 10 per cent of the population in these states drink moonshine. He men tioned Virginia, Kentucky and southern West Virginia as posing other problem areas. Around New York, New Jersey and eastern Pennsyl vania, IRS men are combat ing a ''syndicated mob" which makes 180-to-190-proof alco hol for speakeasies. This is cut to about 80-proof for drinking. Despite ' advanced technol ogy, stills today are about the same as 20 years ago, Bailey said. East Coast mobsters fa vor column stills for alcohol making, but the old pot-type still retains its traditional role in the South. Anyone can operate a still, provided it is registered with IRS. All stills must be regis tered, even water stills which IRS considers capable of mak ing whisky. cians and wider recognition of the fact that development of these skilled people de pends largely on the effective ness of the educational sys tem.
