The appellant is the administrator of the Office of Price Administration under the Emergency Price Control Act of Jan. 30, 1942, 56 Stat. 23, 50 U.S.C.A. Appendix § 901 et seq., as amended. The appellee is a State Board established under the laws of Texas to administer the States laws regulating alcoholic beverages.

Liquors illegally produced or handled are to be seized and condemned as forfeited to the State by courts of competent jurisdiction at the suit of the Attorney General in the name of the State, and then turned over to the Board for "public or private sale in such place or manner as it may deem best; provided, that the Board shall exercise diligent effort to obtain the best available price for anything thus sold." The proceeds of sale go into the State Treasury as a special fund for the enforcement of the liquor laws. Texas Liquor Control Act as amended in 1943, Vernons Texas Ann. P.C. Arts. 666 - 30, 666 - 42.
