AGAINST the cunning of the saboteur is matched the greater cunning of our military and civil law en forcement agencies. Every minute, day and night, the relentless hunt for enemy agents goes on. But Axis agents are not our only enemies here at home. Equally destructive are those who, posing as reputable business men, are every day sabotaging our industries, undermining morals, jeopardizing liberties. When such offenders are found in Georgia’s $10,000,000 beer industry, they are dealt with quickly, effectively. First, a clean-up warning from this Committee; then, unless the warning is heeded, a close-up order by law enforcement authorities. Only reputable beer dealers deserve YOUR patronage JUDGE JOHN S.
