“undercover” story of the workings
of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics
with A. L. Rathal. narcotics agent in
charge of the San Antonio area, as
their speaker.
Not in recent months' has the club
heard a more interesting talk. Rath-
al, who pictured narcotic addicts
and peddlers as the “scum of the
earth.” related actual incidents in
his experience as a narcotics agent.
He told of the treacherj^of the nar-
cotic trade, and stressed the tre-
mendous job which faced the depart-
ment whose duty it is to protect this
nation against drug traffic.
He paid high tribute to the Cuero
and DeWitt county law enforcement
officers, declaring that as a result of
the work of the Cuero police depart-
ment that this city had the reputa-
tion among the thugs of the country

Lions were enthusiastic in their re-

The San Antonio agent was intro-
