Doctor Urges Light' as Liquor Sleuth Ray Will Detect Source of Alcohol Redistilled by Bootlegger. By Howard W.

Blakeslee. Associated Press Science Editor. New York, March new possibility for aiding prohibition forcement by using "black light" to detect indelible identification marks in bootleg alcohol was proposed here tonight. The method would enable prohibition officers to take liquor made from redistilled commercial alcohol, had been "washed" bootlegand, no matter how many, times it ger identify place where the oniginal alcohol was manufactured. The secret and the scientific developments making it possible were explained to the Society of Medical Jurisprudence tonight at the New York Academy of Medicine by Dr.

Herman Goodman, a member of the academy. "Black light" is ultra violet from which the visible rays are filtered by a special glass. Objects in this invisible beam become luminous by fluorescence. Dr. Goodman filled two pitchers with water and into one dropped a dust fleck of a harmless chemical common in chestnuts.

It caused no change in appearance of the water in ordinary light, but when the pitchers were set under the invisible ray, the chestnut water was a brilliant electric blue. said Dr. Goodman, "can be marked In the same way with this chemical. It will show blue whenever placed under these rays. No amount of distilling will get rid of the telltale for one part in 5,000,000 of the chestnut stuff is sufficient.

"There are other chemicals that will make alcohol an Indelible red, or green, yellow or other, colors. Quinine produces a vivid white. With this method each district in which commercial alcohol is manufactured can use its own special color. Wherever the marked alcohol gets into bootlegs stuff, the light will identify its original district and should simplify tracing of the leak."

When the drys presented their side of the prohibition enforcement controversy before the house judiciary COmmittee last Wednesday, Henry Ford sent a telegram strongly upholding the eighteenth amendment. The York World News Service immediately Kenneth Campbell to Dearborn, where Ford's greatest factories are located. He found the usual speakeasies. The following article is not merely an (L.Ccount these conditions but Mr. Ford's acknowledgement of them, together with his vigorous defense of the law.

By Kenneth Campbell. Detroit. March Ford, who recently told President Hoover that he was worth 000, charged today that the financial interests in New York city were backing the bootlegging rings of the country. Ford readily admitted that to date it had been impossible to prevent the sale of liquor in Dearborn, the Detroit suburb where his gigantic factories are located, and charg. ed the liquor interests with on the vicinity of his factory in order to discredit him.

He defended prohibition with vigor and asperity and charged that the newspapers of the United States were the tools of the wet interests. Accuses Money Interests. "Do you think I don't know who is back of the bootlegging in this country?" Ford challenged. "It is the big money interests in New York. You don't think that the bootleggers could fiance this big liquor deal themselves, do you? Why men bring liquor right into the factory here.

I have seen a lot of the bottles that were taken away from the men. They were foreignmade bottles--not kind of bottles that are made in the United States. "Do you think a man can work in this factory if he drinks? Well, he can't. We watch them as they come in. We smell their breaths." The Ford factory employs about 100,000 men at present.

"Do you think I don't know that liquor is sold in Dearborn? Of course, I know it. It is sold here hecause the liquor interests are concentrating in this neighborhood because they know I am a dry." Liquor Sold Openly. Ford's assertion that Dearborn Is wet. was made after my investigation into prohibition enforcement conditions in the Detroit suburb where Ford's control is undisputed. Liquor is sold almost openly in hundreds of homes and commercial establishments in the foreign-borm section of the city.

One street within sight of a Ford factory gate has 14 speakcasies in one block. Ford asserted that the men in his factory were immeasurably better off since prohibition, and that there was little drunkenness. The inquiry seemed to support Ford's contention in the matter of little drunkenness, Men walk the streets gait and their visits to the speakeasies are taken as a matter of course. The liquor, most of which is moonshine or badly cut Canadian whisky, is of poor quality, but potable. Won't Employ Drinkers.

During the interview round. ly abused the wet interests, which he seemed to think were concentrated in New York city, The he talked the more angry he became. "Prohibition is law of the country and ought to be observed," Ford said. "I know liquor is sold in Dearborn, but what do I care? What do you care? Prohibition can be enforced because we enforce it here at the factory. I simply won't let men wort, here are if the they New drink.

York newspapers so Interested in prohibition? I'll tell you why. It is because they are controlled made to do what they lure told. Everybody wants to show Henry Ford's town." Ford was asked to name the heads 1 THE of the liquor and banking rings that controlled the newspapers and the bootlegging in the country. This he declined to do. He was very positive that the ring existed, however.

In reply to questions designed to obtain his opinions on conditions before prohibition, Ford said: "We didn't have so many foreign born workers in our factory before prohibition as we have now. Before prohibition we used to have a lot of cutting and stabbing brawls near the Highland Park plant. We don't have many now. Before prohibition one of the best methods to shame a foreign-born worker into staying sober was to place one of the women in his family on the payroll instead of himself. She would draw his pay.

I remember times when girls of 16 were in charge of family finances because the father drank. Less Society Drinking. "There is a lot less drinking even in the higher circles of society now than there has been," Ford said. "I remember formal dinners in the years after prohibition, and at many of these dinners liquor was served when I was present, I always pushthe glass aside. I can recall only once in the year or two that I have seen liquor served at such a dinner.

"Drunkenness is also decreasing. I haven't seen a drunken man since left England." Not Much Gambling. "We do not allow drinking in any of our foreign factories. either in Ireland, Germany or elsewhere," he added. Liquor is sold in coffee houses, "real offices, restaurants, hotels, boarding houses and pool rooms in many parts of the factory suburb.

Although Ford expressed unbounded confidence in the prohibition enforcement officers in the vicinity, the results of any work that they may have been doing are not visible in streets Dearborn. The town is full of female tramps drifting about in search of jobs, but there is little evidence of immorality. Nor is there much professional gambling. Ford workers out of jobs play pool for a dollar a taere are card games everywhere. but they.

are not for high stakes and there is no house "kitty" in evidence. DRUNKEN DRIVER GETS 45 DAYS IN WORKHOUSE Walter C.
