E FORESEEN -IN Sixth Year Of Prohibition . To Meet Alterations In All Departments Roy Haynes Likely To Re tiro From Service In Near Future WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. OP) Tho sixth year of national prohibition has been ushered in with auguries of change in both personnel nnd methods of tho federul enforcement corps.' Roy A. Hnynes, field mnrslinl of enforcement since enrly iu tho Hard ing ndminlHtrntton, scorns likely to be repluced by some one wlio heretofore has viewed the government's prohibi tion activities from a distance and who will bring to the service enforce ment opinions of his owu. Bootleggers Opposed Meantime it has been jvcaletl at the White House iu the most author itative mrinriotr tlitt PfcMoVnt CooK idgc would like to sco federal agents givo their major .attention to, boot leggers and not to hlppocket flaslis and that, he docs not favor a bill reported by the house judiciary com mittco, making it mandatory for courts to impose . juil sentences on those couvictcd of breaking the Vol stead act. At the same time it was implied but not stated specifically that the administration' might look with fav or on the Cramton bill removing the prohibition unit from tho internal revenue bureau and making it an in dependent bureau itself under the treasury department. Bill la Endorsed Consumers of industrial alcohol appearing before committees of con gress have in some cases opposed the Cramton bill if prohibition is to remain aa it Is and Mr. Hnynea is to have control over the release of alcohol for industrial purposes. The Anti-Saloon league hns endorsed the bill and at the same time has defend ed repeatedly tho methods of Mr. Haynes. It appeared likely today that the present prohibition commissioner might remain on Uic job pending pas sage of the Cramton bill but would be expected totcp out in the course of re-organization that would put it into effect. His successor hns not been selected. T BY PROF. STAFFORD Profeaior O.

"Further study by this depart ment," he continued."
