DRY AGENTS
T|GHTENNET
Enforcement in Coming Year
viii Be More Strict, Says
Commissioner Williams.

The conviction that "there is a
constant growing sentiment on the
part Of the people for strict en-
forcement of the prohibition law"
is expressed by Commissioner of
Internal Revenue William M. Will
liams in a statement issued today
predicting for the second year Of
national prohibition, which opens
today, a better enforcement than has
occurred during the year past.
ADMITS DIFFICULTIES.
While admitting many difficulties
and shortcomings during the irst
year OF the Nolstead acts operation,
Commissioner Williams declares that
on the whole its Accomplished mt =
are satisfactory.
1T was never the purpose OF Com
Kress to match with prohibition
agent every policeman or other local
Official In the United States or us
territories" ne added in stating that
the laws enforcement really rests
with the country's citizenry.
Great faith may be placed in the
common sense and fairness OF the
American people" he continues. and
II Is hoped that their influence will
soon bring about proper cooperation
on the part OF local officials. The
better cooperation on the part OF
such officials the less money ii will
be necessary for Congress to approp-
rate for national prohibition.
URGES COOPERATION.
Some OF our people have never
realized that IS out OF Uncle Sans
pocket is practically 50 out of their
own. In times past there seems to
have prevailed a feeling among some
OF our people back home that any
sum appropriated by the Federal
Congress was just 70 much picked
up. Such is not the fact. Corpora
ton will result in reduced cost and
more efficiency. Close cooperation,
for instance, on the part Of New
York State, local and municipal Of
fcials will release from police work
in the city OF New York prohibition
agents for working along the Cana
dian border to stop the smuggling
that has been going on"
The difficulties OF building up an
enforcement administrative force
from the air" and the law evasions
which the permit system permitted.
are two causes or imperfect enforce
ment cited by Commissioner Williams.
1.-THE Volstead act has not had q
fair trial for the reason that II went
into effect at a time when the world
was turned upside down." he states,

the last twelve months have been abb

Deadlock on District Bill Ger

Can Be Reached.

House leaders are printing Them
selves for the anticipated fight in

ciple which the Senate will approve.
beyond any questioning. in passing
the District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill.
WILL STICK TO 600.
Taking their stand squarely ON
the principle OF appropriating on
the sixty-forty basis established by
the lower branch OF Congress in
passing the last two local supply
measures, leaders In the House are
prepared TO put up a SIN hack bone
I'm the final light tina: IL 70 decide
the method OF appropriatinS for
the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1929.
There appears to be no spparert
weakening on the part of House op-
ponents Of :he half-and- hair plan.
According I" present. ind"a'ic ~, the
House interds TO stand firmly, as u
did last year. on the principle OF
the sixty-forty plan OF spproprist-
ing for District needs.
When the Senate yielded last year
on the half-and-h It was with
the understanding that the Mapes
hill for changing the method OF
appropriations in the District would
be threshed out before the next sp-
preparation bill would be brought
up. The situation with regards TO
the Mapes bill Is unchanged today
and there Is small likelihood that
4; will be agreed upon In time to
act as a compromise.
Congressman Davis, OF Minnesota,
chairman of the House conferees
who will be appointed and Congress
man Sisson. OF Mississippi promi-
rent Democrat member, according TO
all indications. will make an un-
yielding fight against the half-and-
half plan. The chances are In their
favor, due to the short length OF
time that remains before the end OF
the session. By putting up a stih
backbone, the House leaders believe
they can prolong the fight until the
Senate members OF the conference
committee agree to the sixty forty
plan rather than jeopardixe the tate
of the entire bill.
COMPROMISE PROBABLE
| Senator Curtis, who 10 In charge OF
the District bill in the Senate, viii en-
deavor to negotiate compromise

way for an understanding when the
conference is ready to meet. He viii
be informed that the House is de-
tcrminediy opposed 10 the pfiHcipie
! OF the half-and-half and will insist on
it's elimination from the bill.
Senate leaders are confident the
half-and-half plan will be kept intact
in the bill as II passes that BODY.
They are convinced that this principle
should be maintained until Congress
arrives at a permanent and equitable
solution of the vexatious question.
Strong pressure will be brought to
bear on the Mapes bill abolishtng the
principle of the half-and-half in the
hope that II might yet save the situa-
ton for this and all the time. But
the two houses are hopelessly split
at odds on this question. with result
that the the question undoubtedly will
have to be threshed out in conference

are working. If we had the names
every one should be mentioned, for
