PROHIBITION COMMISSIONER ISSJTES STATEMENT

Reldt1Ve to plans TOT the reoTSanlza- ton of the prohibition unit the fol- lowing statement was issued today by Prohibition Commissioner Roy A. Haynes:
 Important changes have been made to effect the coordination of the work so that the several subjects will be handled by specially trained and experienced men. All of the narcotic work is brought together in one division. This work formerly was divided among several divisions.
 "All personnel matters will be han dled by the executive division under one head. Formerly the field work personnel was handled in one place and the bureau personnel in another, resulting in an overlapping of work at a greater cost than will result un- der the new arrangement.
 Such work as relates to assess ments, claims and compromises is removed from the old legal division and placed in the audit division where it more properly belongs. N
 '.The permit division has been changed as to personnel. There are now two associate heads. pr. c. E. Younr and H. P. Loveland, who will act as a committee to pass upon all permits issued.
 ..The industrial alcohol and chemis try division remains practically in it's former status.
 "A law division has been created which will deal with legal matters involving civil and criminal liabili- ties in connection with the national prohibition act, and VII have no con- trol of administrative matters, claims. compromises and assessments, as was in effect under the former. system
 "Prohiibtion Commissioner Haynes will have connected with him as counsel and legal adviser P. A. Vize, who has long been connected with the bureau and who is thoroughly familiar with the internal revenue laws, as we'll as the national pro- hibition act. There will be asso- ciated with MT. Wize special attor- neys who will assist in passing on interpretativs matters, regulations and correspondence involving legal questions of general nature.
 "Prohibition Commissioner Haynes is of the opinion that the reorganiza- ton plan will not only be productive of better results, but may effect a saving in appropriations
