1T Is my opinion that the different

"The greatest need Is perhaps the
opportunity TO present for prosecution

In ths Northern district the convic-
lions have been 100 per cent; the

toward enforcement appears TO have
become more favorable. This is espe-

Such attitude appears 20 reflect the

there Is being developed and crystal
