Poster Campaign Planned To Alert Illegal Booze Drinkers of Dangers Washington niPD It doesn't take much lead to kill you. A bottle of moonshine whisky may have more than enough. That warning came from federal revenue agents who disclosed plans for a nation wide poster campaign to alert people to this danger in il legal whisky. The Internal Revenue Serv ice plans to put posters from coast to coast by mid-December, in time for the holiday rush. Christmas is a big selling season for non-tax paid booze as well as the legal variety. The service's field offices also are being, alerted so they can handle injuries from newspapers and the public. Lead Is Killer As a result of some recent medical findings, revenue agents are now sure that it has been the lead and not the alcohol that has done in im bibers of "white lightning," 'corn liquor," "Bath tub gin" and other potions distill ed on the sly. Most of the lead -tainted moonshine has been found In the South, where illicit dis tilling is most common. But the problem is not confined FACTORY SALES DROP Washington -IUPD - Factory sales dropped to a 12 -month low in October and new orders and inventories also declined. The Commerce De partment reported Monday that new orders fell by $1.1 billion, the largest one-month loss all year. Officials said the drop appeared to stem from temporary decline in Defense Department contracting for aircraft, missiles and electron ic equipment. GUARANTEED Dallas, Tex. -IUPD- Sign on a clothing rack in a Dallas store: "Guaranteed, while they last." to that section alone, accord' ing to Thomas F. Casey, as sistant chief of alcohol and tobacco tax enforcement of the revenue service. Considerable quantities of illegal liquor is shipped from the South to more Northern cities, including Washington, Baltimore, New YorK, Jersey City, Philadelphia, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Chicago, Casey said. Moreover, in many parts of the country moonshiners cook their mash and distill their spirits in ways likely to leave lead salts in the final product. Solder Prime Source Revenue agents believe that a prime source of lead in moonshine is solder used to fasten together pieces of homemade s t il 1 s. Another source of the metallic poison is auto radiators, a favorite makeshift condenser. The radiators, stripped from old cars, often are patched with solder to plug leaks. It takes very little lead to do a lot of damage. If it doesn't kill you, the metallic poison can cause paralysis, blindness, severe abdominal ailments and mental disorders.

Northwest Said Above Averaqe in Job Prospects Spokane - 0IPD - The North west was termed a region "with some rather serious in dustrial problems but pos sibly better than average prospects," by M 1 n e r H.
