WHEELER "CALLS DOWN"
ARMSTRONG on RULING

Washington, May 12.-Att6rney
General Alexander Armstrong. of
Maryland, was severely called
down" today by Wayne B Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-SalGon
League, who SAYS that if Mr.. Arm
strong "spent as much tine trying
to find ways to enforce the Law as
he does throwing monkey wrenches
into the law enforcement machinery
he would serve his State and coun-
try better"
Mr.. Whecler's criticism is result
of the Attorney Generals recent
opinion that automobiles cannot b"
searched fer liquor without war
rant. Declaring that Mr.. Arm
strong "is getting into the habit of
rendering wrong opinions" Mr..
Wheeler has this to say about the
last one:
"The opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral Of Maryland that rum running
automobiles cannot be searched with
out search warrant is iuS: as enron
eous as his forme" opinion that
State officers and policemen mad no
authority to file affid;.ritS and
cause the arrest OF Federal law
violators under the Folstead act.
"The law clearly authorized these
arrests under Section 101i. Revised
Statutes, and he had to modify the
opinion. He will be compelled to dc
the same thing with reference to hi,
opinion that rum running auron.o.
biles have the same protection thai
private residences have.
