Attention was directed that there also were 18,700 m'les of boundary and shore lines for the United Stairs "nt every point of which Infection Is possible." The number of smuggling roads from Canada Is reported as at least 1,000, It was added. "To deal with an enforcement problem of this size and spread," the report continued, "the federal government can draw only on a portion of the personnel of three federal services, whose staffs ag gregate about 23,000. "Approximately oiu'.-nlh of this, number is In the fnvob.'igative hoc i tlmi of the prohibition unit. Of the remaining 2o,f)00, only a small pro portion of the personnel Is avail able for actual preventive and In vestigative work. The remainder Is engaged in work far different from prohibition. 'These figures speak for them selves. "To adjust the machinery of fed eral administration, ns It has grown up for 01 her purposes, to this huge problem of enforcement of prohibition Is not easy, and will require much further study. Unifi cation, centralization of responsi bility, and means of ensuring co operation between federal and state agencies, are tilings to which wo must come, quite apart from fhn exigencies of enforcement of prohibition, but which can not be achieved overnight." Critics Answered '"'Replying to thoso who have dr -.sailed It for a falhiro to hold pub ; lic hearings on the prohibition question, the commission reported iu .-resident Hoover that it con otdved It "to be more useful to inn ke a careful study of the whole (pioulon, securing Information from the responsible officers of government and from prhiled ro ports, ns well as from hearings he- fore committees of congress, be . fore embarking upon public hear . IngB." 'Summing up Its four recom mendations for legislative enact ments, the commission said: "We think they could not In any -wiso Interfere with any ultimate program which wo may have to recommend, and would in the meantime advance observance of the law." Transfer Urged In urging transfer of the prohl . billon unit from the treasury to the Justice department, the report said It was an anomaly that the cases are Investigated and pre pared by agencies entirely discon nected with and not answerable to those who lire to prosecute them. "If prosecution, the legal side of enforcement, h partitioned be tween two district agencies," the report said. "The diffused, lll-dn-flutul, non-located responsibility Is sure In the long run to he im oh , stacle to erriciency." The commission reported that. lnuro must be a careful studv of how to separate the work which - belongs In the treasury of grant ing permits and administration of regulations ns to the legitimate Use of alcohol or liquors. Pointing out that there nre 25 . statutes, many enacted before the eighteenth amendment, to which there Is recourso in prohibition en- 1 forcement. the commission assert ed they were In form dlscouiict edunwicldy, and In much need or coordination nnd adjustment In each other. Consequently it recom mended that these statutes be "re vised nnd digested," with a view to making I linn a unified whole In the form of a simple, bctteror- , dered and hence more workable code. Would Nab Dodders On (he question or padlock In junctions, It was slated that (he use of Injunction proceedings as a means of ent'orelnr prohibition w as so Important that the Heel ion of Ihe Volstead act dealing wild thiH subject should be so amended as to enable the courts to reach unknown claimants lo property, non residents and 'residents who conceal themselves to evade ser vice of process. "It contains nothing which Is not already done in the rtates gtt era II y when private claims 10 property are concerned." the com mission added. Courts Speed Needed Congestion In the federal courts causing loin delays In prosecu tions and "bargain days" for ac rust d was declared by the report to have done much to create n feeling In some localities that the law can not be enforced. "If it Is possible to deal with this matter adequately with the existing machinery of the federal system, it should be done," the re port went on. "We think such a so I lotion entirely possible and In the . light line of progress." Pointing out 1 hat Ihe Jones law has expressly recognized a class of "casual or slight violations." the commission said a statute an thorizing the district attorneys in! such cases to prosecute by com- plaint or information would obvi-! ate the long delay, unnecessary ex-1 pense. and needless keeping In ses sion of grand juries which are de manded by the present etnto of I ho lnw. in uueh cases, when so prosccut- portant considerations and are 11 ore likely 10 oe efficacious than threats of severe punishment ren dered nugatory by congested thick ets overpassing any possibilities of trial in the manner constitu tionally appointed for crimes of such magnitude. Suggestion also was made that petty cases be heard before a United .States commissioner and a report made to the courts which would pass judgment on the case. There would be a safeguard that the accused If found guilty by a commissioner could demand trial by jury within three days. House Backs Hoover WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Rep resentative Tilson of Connecticut, the republican floor leader, said today lie believed it was the over whelming desire of the house to support President Hoover in the proposals for strengthening law enforcement. lepresentallve Garner of Texas. the democratic leader, held the commission's report "demonstrat ed conclusively the wlHdoin of not submitting liquor to u joint con gressional committee. "It shows that Sneaker Long- worth was right when he said the best way to handle liquor would be I to take It up through the regular committees of congress' Garner added. Chairman Snell of the rules com mittee declined to discuss the re port pending a more thorough ex- lamlnatlon but said that "U e want to find out what legislation !s wanted and get it through quick ly." 1 th 1 m c rrs VaJHAT f f5rt VOU -THAT MAICE 1 ' Thrilling Expectations SMELL, HE XMDM'T COME OVER.

Thomason had sent the presi dent a message of New Year greet IriK, iu which he Incorporated "a hit of counsel 'growing out of half a century of observation." This was that the chief executive should not he misled or disheart ened by partisans working, for his failure nnd by those who seek to obscure Ihe truth by the dissemina tion of falsehood. "The human flood which flows through the white house," the president replied, "shows all the dark coloilngs and tho flotsam that you mention, but It Is bright ened more than you think by the majority who. regardless of party, genuinely wish to help the presi dent to succeed in his task. Of course.

We can and must." be said, "greatly increase the production of truth and we must kno.v the truth be fore the grave interest of 120,000.. Ooo people is Involved in govern ment policies. And the truth," he added, "is hard to discover." In addition, Air. Hoover express ed the view thai of the three sec tions of Lincoln's great formula, the third "government by the people" was the most import ant. "It Is from too much emphasis on 'government of the people'." he said, "that we get the fundamental confusion that government since it can correct much abuse cau also create righteousness."

Snow fell in places were it is seldom seen as the storm king played havoc with motorists, marooning hundreds in winter resorts. In the Sierra foothills, 300 auto mobiles were abandoned between San Andreas and Angels camp, while their occupants estimated to be In excess of 1,300, sought refuge from the falling snow and bitter wind In farm houses at Murhpys, Velleclto, Angels camp and other communities.
