Private truck owners who have been en- trusted with the Embassy liquor shipments were warned by Wash- ington police some time ago that they would be arrested if caught with such a load unless accompan- fed by an attache having creden- oid proving the right of immun- ty. In the first attempt to comply with this policy, the attache who was assigned to accompany the Embassy liquor followed the truck in his private automobile but the police said this was not sufficient. Taking the 'idea in a sporting spirit, the attaches apparently have to go even further than the police requested. After hiring # truck to brig in a supply of the legally imported liquor yesterday, 8n attache of one of the Embassies took over the wheel and person- silly drove it into the city.
