Shoulil he i'iisIkh tu make way for an orrielul who Is an aitlitiii prohibit lonlm.? Or can he continuti to survti In the support of a law hi which he disbelieves? These are the questions that Cleveland is facing In a rashm controversy that Is rapidly extend ing over the United States today following a statement by Its gray haired chief of police, Jacob Graul, in which the ohfef urged a return to the old-time licensed saloon. "Prohibition Is a failure," (Irani . said. "What the country needs is the saloon." "Tlie corfulry needs not ,only light wines und beer, but whiskey; and the saloon should be return ed," Chief Graul added. "Not the old-time saloon, but one in keeping with tlie advance in civilization. ; Describes -"New Saloon" "The new saloon should be pri vately owned and should be re - slrlcted in, to number. There should be only one In each large territory, and It should be operated X on a yearly permit. It, would open at ,11 a. m. and close at 9 p. m. I wo'uld rest let 'the snloon to one large room, and there would bo no curtains on the windows. Sa loon keepers would be required to stop serving drinks to intoxicated men. I would also restrict ,lhe number of drinks served to each person." Such saloons, Graul asserted, would reduce the number of bur glaries, robberies, murders and other forms of crime. Many of Cleveland's recent killings, he pointed out ,wcre due to bootleg wars. Omul's statement stirred up n perfect storm of controversy iu the newspnpers. Heads of prohibition organiza tions denounced II, declaring It would discourage policemen from trying to enforce tlie law and would result in greater freedom for tho bootleggers, with n conse quent increase in supplies of liq uor for the thirsty. Upheld by Officials..- . .

Barry declared that Cleve land Is enforcing the law as' well The ''good old days" like the above would return if the ponce cniefs of two of America's largest cities, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, could have their way. Above Is Peter Walsh, superintendent of Pitts burgh police, and unief Jacob Graul (below) of Cleveland, who say that well regulated, unscreened saloons wouia be preferable to existing conditions. as,, if not hotter than, any other lnrge city in tlie country. Harry, as it happens, is himself in sym pathy with "prohibition. . Harvey O. Yodor, director of the Dry Maintenance League, declar ed: "Chief Oraul Ik out of sympathy with (he prohihition law and can not be expected to enfroce it as it should be enforced." - George C. Southwell, district su perintendent ' of ,dhe -Anti-Saloon HiPUKmr, added -r ft "It, is very unusual, for a police chief to say nnything that would Influence the men under him to be less active in law enforcement." And Mrs. Mary T. Mendenhall, president of the Cuyahoga county V. C. T. U.. said: "Chief Grnul's statement doesn't look exactly like, dry propaganda to me. I don't thing a man ih his position has any right to express himself upon any law he is requir ed to enforce. As an individual it is his right, but as chief of po lice he is noUtfRi individual but a representative of the chief law en forcement agency in tho city." Iu such fashion have the friends of prohibition landed on the veter an chief. City officials, however, are do fending his right to express his opinion. City Mai: , r William It. Hopkins so far d I threes with the claim that Graul's outburst will make for a "wide open" town that he declares: "The reaction to this sort of statement will cause mor enforce ment: If there tins been the slight est relaxation this will put a qui ok .end to it." ' . . -. -. ' Others Give Views, ; - ' Among police officials there Is far from a unanimity of 'Opinion. Peter C. Walsh, superintendent of police nt IMttsburgh, ngrees with Graul whole-heartedly, de claring that prohibition has been "u failure und the greatest agita tor of crime in tho history of the United StaleK." and urging its re peal. He adds that bo "has-al-iiuiHt given up the Job of enforc ing dry laws." Chief Fred Ueed of Denver, on the other hand disagrees. While admitting that conditions now are not perfect, Heed ays that "I am not In favor of conditions that ex isted in tho days of tho old sa loon." Wallace T. letcalfo, head of the police vice squad at Youngs town, O., is another who disagrees. "I believe prohibition has been a god-send to the people," he says. "It has brought happiness to many people who never knew anything hut misery and suffering." Chief E. J. Murname of St. Paul does. not favor bringing hack -the old saloon, hut believes 'some way will be found, if the dry law is re pealed, to sell liquor in a saner manner than before prohibition." Police Commissioner Michael Hughes of Chicago agrees with Graul, as does Chief L. U. Toynol of Kansas City. A great flood of mall has come i to Graul from citizens of Clevo-; land., Most of them, he savs, com-! mend him for his stand. Many let ters are also belngo received daily by Cleveland newspapers from their readers Among the public officials to comment on Graul's suggestion is Federal Judge John M. Killits, who called it "tho craziest Idea I've seen advanced during prohibition." "It was tho failure of tho open saloon to be and remain regulated that caused prohibition do gain enough support to effect a consti tutional amendment," he says, 'The social experiment of prohi bition has not yet been thoroughly tried." Yoder and Southwell nro honing to arouse public sentiment against Uraul to such nil extent that he will he forced tp resign. Graul, however. Insists ho will stand hy his views and continue to enforce the dry law. Graul produced figures to sup nort his statements. J.n 11)19, the Inst year before prohibition became effective, 800 , Clcveluudors wore tried for drunkenness. In 1926 the total was 24.012: In 1H27 ft was 20,9 IS ; the monthly average thus fnr In 1928 Is 3273.
