ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL WILL NOT COOPERATE.

EkAL WILL NOT sCO.OfEftAIE.
Marylands Attorney General,
Alexander Armstrong, who has de-
cidedly wet leanings, does not agree
with Amos w. w. Woodcock, Fed
eral District Attorney for Maryland,
that there is need for conferences
between Federal and State legal
officials looking towards greater
cooperation in law enforcement.
Comments of the two officials on At
torney General Daugherty's plan for
such conferences in all States brings
out the divergent views.
Mr.. Armstrong contends that SO
far as enforcement of the volstead
act is concerned, this State never
has passed, concurrent "dry" legis-
lation, and State machinery is not
involved in its enforcement. In
Irlain English. the State is controlled
by the 'wets.."
Mr.. Woodcock does not agree
with Mr.. Armstrong; view, and as
rerts that since Federal and State
laws. are directed to the same end,
namely, protection of life and prop
erty and preservation of order and
peace, closer cooperation and more
cordiality would be better for ALL
| In his announcement Attorney
General .Daugherty said that evl-
dence Of benefits from the confer
ences In other States to curb viola
lions of the Volstead law, as well as
of white slave" and narcotic laws,
already have been felt.
Ever since I have been in Office /
have been trying to get cooperation
from State law enforcement officers,
including the city police, and have
succeeded to some extent said Mr.,
Woodcock. II lave no definite
figures at hand, but believe that
more than half of the cases of
violation of the Mann white slave
act and the Harrison drug act are
discovered and reported to us by the
city police. They also are cooper
ating to a lesser extent, but still
very nicely, in reporting violations
of the Volstead act.
''If it we're not for police CO.
operation, do not believe that the
Mann and Harrison acts could be
enforced.
IT am unable to make the big
distinction commonly drawn be-
/ tween State enforcement of the Vol
stead act and of the other two Fed
eral acts. While it is true that
Maryland has no prohibition act, it
also is true that there is no Mary
land law similar to the Mann act.
| There is Maryland drug statute,
but action usually is taken under
the Federal law. Each of the three
is criminal law adopted by the
Government and each is equally
worthy of general enforcement"
