The asslHtnnt secretary began con sideration today of a plun lo reinforce the customs service border patrol to take cure of the new defense areas. Mr. Andrews apparently is com mitted to a completely motorized bor der patrol system. Treasury officials havo estimated that the government loses between $10,000,000 nnd $15. into, (MMt a year through smuggling ami the plans un der study would bo aimed to prevent the Illegal entry, not only of liquor but of many articles of merchandise on which tariff duties are levied as well as he smuggling of narcotics and aliens. Long stretches of the American border are unguarded because of the small number of customs agents who can be assigned to the Dnkota-Mon- tana-Idaho and Washington areas, as well as along the- Rio Grande and southern California districts. , On the north the smuggling of wheat and cattle has In the past been u serious problem. ' The southern problem has been largely that of the smuggling of liquor, narcotics nnd aliens. Mr. An drews feels that more men nnd faster means of trnvelMvould -solve the- sit uation.' "' t; ' While Mr, Andrews was engaged in his Btudy, the' board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church issued a statement declaring the assistant sec retary was r,a friend of prohibition because he is the enemy of law breaking." , ' Although deolarlng Secretary Mel lon, "because of his associations and his interest in the whiskey business in former years," was not considered by prohibitionists as the proper person to be- in charge of enforcement, the board said there was "clrcumstantiul evidence." (hat he was following a policy of "absolutely non-interference and . of sympathetic support of his subordinates charged with the en forcement of the Volstead act." The assertion that "prohibition is having Its last trial," was scouted by the hoard, which said prohibitionists would fight on until satisfactory en forcement was obtained. SHAPELY SHANKS VS.
