Drunks and Bootleggers Keep
Bible-Conscious Town Going
Knoxville, Ttnn. (UPD
"D r u n ks and bootleggers
keeps this town a-gdin'."
The prominent east Tennes
see bootlegger delivered his
opinion and settled back in
the restaurant booth to enjoy
his steak.
We'll call him Clem Smith.
He's the proud, lonely mountaineer-type.
He makes a com
fortable living buying bonded
whisky in legally-wet Nash
ville, hauling it miles in "vari
ous devices" and selling it by
the truckload to lubricate the
citizens of bone-dry Knox
ville. Clem maintains the munici
pal government of Knoxville
derives a greater income from
bootleg liquor than it would
from tax money on legal li
quor, explaining:.
"Tbey catch you hauling
and selling liquor. They take
it and fine you. Then they sell
it back to the liquor dealers
I bought it from .in Nashville.
See what I mean?"
Lonely Job
Bootlegging is a lonely job
for Clem, even more so since
his wife died several years
ago. Being a bootlegger's
friend is not socially or poli
tically smart in Bible-conscious
Knoxville. Its citizens,
who readily admit that "boot
leggers and Baptists" keep the
town dry, may be a bootleg
ger s private customers, but
they're not his public acquain
tances. Clem leaned across the
table and confided sadly,
"Sometimes I think people
tell their kids that if they
aren't good, old Clem Smith
will get them. You know, like
the bogeyman."
Clem, who is in his early,
40's says his life has been a
"full" one. His earliest mem
ory is of lying on the dusty
floorboards of a car as his
bootlegger-father smashed
through a roadblock.
He drove his first load of.
bootleg liquor into Knoxville
at the age of seven after his
father got drunk and passed
out.
"I hit a T-model Ford," he
said nostalgically. "The farm
er jumped, out and hollars
'whoa-stop!' I got scared and
stopped. My daddy woke up
and I told him what happened.
'Keep a-goin'," he says and
passes out again."
Greeted by' Police
Clem was still chuckling as
we left the restaurant and
headed for his car.
Two rookie patrolmen
passed.
"Evening, Mr. Smith," they
said respectfully.
A sergeant sitting in a squad
car roared. "Clem, you old
so-and-so, where the devil
you been? I ain't seen you f er
Mark IV Space Suit
In Debut for Press
Phila lelphia - (Science'
Service) - A fashion show to
introduce the Mark IV space
suit was held here recently
for the press.
The full-pressure suit wai
developed by the B. F. Good
rich Company and the U.S.
Navy. It may be the suit
chosen for the first manned
space flight.
A model . dressed in the
suit jumped into a pool of
water where he demonstrated
the ability to swim, mani
pulate and enter a life raft.
Another subject was exposed
to extreme temperatures.1 The
suit proved to be safe for high
acceleration force escape pro
cedures, or ejections.
Rapid Decompresison
Then a model in a suit suc
cessfully withstood a test of
rapid decompression. The suit
can buffer temperatures from
plus 220 degrees Fahrenheit
to minus 70 degrees Fahren
heit, and swift altitude
changes that shoot from 18,
000 feet to 75,000 feet in less
than half a second.
The Mark IV allowj a high
flyer to surround himself
with an earth-like environ

Atiends Seminar
William Moffat, assistant
manager of Mann's depart
ment store, left Saturday for
New York City to attend a
management seminar conduct
ed jointly by New York uni
versity School of Retailing
and the National Retail Mer
chants' association.
The seminar brings togeth
er business men and univer
sity professors of retailing to
discuss economic trends and
important management prob
lems. The seminar . will be
held June 9-12.
Moffat 'Will also attend the
annual meeting of the Smaller
Stores division of NRMA in
New York City today.
PRAYER CRUSADE
Geneva - (UPD - Catholics,
Protestants, Jews, Moslems

lems of the world's 45,000,000
refugees, it-"wag announced

tained within the - tightly
sealed suit, can comfortably
protect a human on his way
to outer space.
In fact, if a man in a Mark
IV suit should land on the
moon, the suit is flexible
enough to allow him and his
space craft buddies to play a
game of baseball. On the
moon, gravity is so weak that
the ball for an earthly Mickey
Mantle home run would
travel about one-half mile.
Upper Across Chest
The suit weighs 20 pounds.
It consists of a torso, helmet,
gloves and boots. A pressure
sealing zipper slants across
the chest section. The space
man's ' shoulders, legs and
arms can move easily due to
a knit stretch fabric within
the inner layer of the suit.
The plastic helmet has a
large window in front. A
val e permits exhaled air to
pass from the respiratory sec
tion to the torso. There are
earphones inside the head
piece. , J. W. Keener, president of
B. F. Goodrich Company;
pointed out a future po
tential for the suit when he
said that many of our launch
ing failures would have been
successful had a pilot been
aboard to control the vehicle
when it strayed off course.
a couple weeks."
Clem said he'd been in Flor
ida and they talked a while.
We drove until we came to
Clem's "place" on the edge of
town. It was an old garage
with a few rooms tacked onto
the back. ...
The inside was bare except
for a stove and a telephone. A
sign on the wall asked the
public for contributions "to
build a home f or our beloved,
retired pastor." Below the
sign was a mason jar contain
ing 13 cents and a bottle cap.
"This is all there is to 'it,"
said Clem. "I used to keep
some in here." .
He tugged at a bookshelf. A
wall panel swung away re
vealing an empty storage
space. There was a fist-sized
hole in the panel.
An old ' man shuffled
around, bib-overalls bulging
with bottles. Periodically, a
customer would drive upvto
the place and the old man
would wait on him.
We stood in front of the
stove and Clem talked. He
mentioned a minister he re
gards highly who "come to
pray with me when my wife
died."
"The others," he said, "just
come around when they want
to stamp out this or that."
Donations Sought
Clem complained of the
town's money-hungry chari
ties that "are always asking
the bootleggers for donations."
"People think bootleggers
get rich," he said, "but I never
seen one retire."
He explained he keeps a
careful account of his busi
ness delings to avoid Federal
income tax evasion charges.
Clem said he and "an aw
ful boy" from the Internal
Revenue Service went over
the account last year. Clem
ended up "kind of paying a
percentage."
The "percentage" came to
$37,000. "I think enough of
my government to want to
keep her agoin'," Clem ex
plained. ,
He discussed disposing of
evidence during a raid by
breaking the bottles. "But,"
he said gloomily, "they'll lay
a rag on the floor and soak
up what spilled. There's many
a man convicted on rag
squeezings." Clem shook his head sadly.
"Bootlegging's a hard way to
make a living," he said.
"Don't know why I stay in
it."
I asked him what he'd do if
Knoxville were to make liq
uor legal.
He stared at me a moment
then replied confidently:
"It'll still be dry on Sundays."
