WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The ma
tional prohibition lid was being
clamped down today with the govern
ment ready to use all the drastic
powers of the enforcement bill which
became law late yesterday when
congress overrode the presidential
veto. The first work OF enforcing
wartime prohibition according to the
law, lies with the bureau Of internal
revenue. Evidence concerning viola
tions of the law will be collected by
the bureau to be turned over to the
department Of justice for criminal
prosecution. Evidence concerning
violations, particularly in the large
cities has been collected and the attor.
ney general is expected to start whole
sale prosecutions in the next few
days.
Daniel Roper, commissioner Of in
ternal revenue in a public statement
made 1t plain that he plans to make
the nation bone dry.
Roper. pending organization OF the
law enforcement bureau as provided In
the prohibition law, appealed to every
law abiding citizen in the United
States" to support him in the admin
istration of the prohibition law. For
the present employees Of Roper's de-
partment who can be spared from
other work will be put on prohibition
duty.
"Not to enforce prohibition effec-
lively would reflect on our form or
government" Roper said.
Close cooperation between federai,
state, county and municipal officers
is Of utmost importance. Collectors
have been instructed to get in touch
with governors and mayors in each
state and request their cooperation In
urging upon sheriffs and all other local
officers the vital necessity OF their
immediate assuming their responsible
ity under the new act.
The immediate effect Of the new
law probably will be stopping sale OF
2.75 percent beer since the enforce
ment bill prohibits any beverage con-
tanning h OF one percent Or more al
cohol.
Funds for clamping down the lid
will be made available today house
leaders said. The deficiency bill
agreed to by the senate yesterday pro
vides s30O,00O a month for enforcing
prohibition. The house was planning
to take similar action today.
