ported arn'HtH in the last i.ci!
year of upwards of eighty thou-
Fand perfirms from every part of
continental I'niied Rtaira "Indi
cates a staggering number of what
might be called focal points of In
fection." 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."

from what ho termed "tho major
ity" that regardless, of parly af
filiations Is anxious that lie he
sueeesstiil in his administration of
the nation's aliaiiH.
Hi'. 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. H Is true that malice is
somelimeH the road to newspaper
headlines, and there w 111 always
he partisans desirous that the
president should fall even If their
si ra ( a gems Injure the country or
whose daily toil is to mix "mud
pies, lint if these blots were oth
er than exceptions, this nation
would not have swept to a might
ier and mightier destiny every
jear slnro the independence."
Truth Nation's Goal
lie asserted "the discovery nnd
promulgation of the truth Is" a vi
tal question of public action. 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."

her recovery was in doubt.
Autos Abandoned
Meanwhile practically the whole
state of California was swept by
snow, rain and hail. 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

passable. First In 20 Years
Snow fell for the first time In
twenty years In Fresno which had
two inches on the ground during
the day. Heavy snows mantled all
sections of the Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys while the
higher regions received as much
as fourteen inches.
In the Feather river district the
storm deposited four feet of snow
at I, n pone, 60 miles northwest of
Oroville. Big Meadows reported
27 inches; Prattvllle, -25 inches
and Caribou, 20 Inches.
Bright cold weather was fore
cast for the Pacific coast coast to
