"WASHINGTON. Dec. 18. An
other prohibition tidal wave swept
into the house today.
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. The direct appropria
tion for enforcement machinery
operating under Its new field mar-
shall, Assistant Secretary Andrews
of the treasury, whose appointment
to that post was confirmed today
by the senate, was reduced, how
ever, to $9,306,245, a decrease of
364,315. . .
