It was received in a report on the treasury postofflce supply bill which carries provisions for pro hibition airenrles, and an account of the methods of government en forcement aponts In their efforts to stop the streams of liquor that trickle through the enforcement dykes along sea coasts and borders. Tn addition, four more bills to lib eralize the Volstead act were introduced. Story Told in Ictnil The prohibition enforcement story was set forth In consid erable detail In the report on hear ings conducted In tho supply bill by an appropriation suA -committee behind closed doors. The principal characters the agents who have tho direct enforcement ranged from them who masquerade - as wealthy clubmen to the men who patrol the lonesome border roads. Officers charged with directing enforcement machinery also told tho committee how the coast guard had "effectively scattered" rum row on the Atlantic, how- tho en forcement machinery in the treas ury department had been reorgan ized and how efforts had been made to bolster up the morale of agents. Conditions were described as materially improved in the last 12 months, although it was said that perhaps even not the army could "stop absolutely the liquor coming across the borders." More Money Wanted The supply bill recommended an increase of $3,615,000 over current appropriations for the coast guard to provide for an Increase of 1580 men In its enlisted personnel, and also to rrialntairt In' service all ships now waging war against rum smugglers.
