Man Fined for Export of
Steam Rollers from Britain
LONDON —John McKenna is
a big man and he does things in
a big way. He has been fined
3,150 pounds ($8,820) for smug
gling steam rollers out of Britain.
British law prohibits the export
of scrap metal, of which there is a
shortage in this country. So, said
witnesses for the customs service
in court yesterday, McKenna
shipped out his old steamrollers
as working machines which would
be put to service flattening roads
in Belgium.
The jig was up when some Brit
ish tourists spotted one of the
relics in a Ghent junk yard and
told a member of Parliament.
