POLITICAL
LUMBER
SLATED
TO CO
Reduction Of Officials Expected
To Provoke Row With
House Vets.

Federal Prohibition Commits
sioner Roy A. Haynes will an
nounce, before the close OF the
year, q general reorganization OF
the prohibition unit and more
stringent enforcement of the
liquor and narcotic laws for 1928,
IL became known today.
VIII Reduce Force.
Commissioner Haynes plan will
call for further reduction OF the
prohibition force. probably due to
the amount Of the appropriation
for the next fiscal year.
This reduction, II is expected. will
be confiAed to officials in the
various divisions and State offices.
while the number of general agents
win remain relatively untouched.
The dry chiefs intent is to re-
move from the swollen payroll of the
unit large quantity of political
deadwood-men appointed through
politics, but whose records show
little active achievement.
This plan, 1t is understood, was
hroached to the governors at the re-
cent conference with President Hard
lng,' ana was approved by the Presi-
dent and the State heads present.
Congressional influence against the
fulfillment Of this feature of the
program is heavy, 1t was learned.
Scores of telephone calls from the
Senate and House office buildings
are being received at Commissioner
Haynes office, and the gist of the
communication is that the dry chier
must not put this reduction into
effect.
VIII Defy Congress.
Backed up by President Hard
ing, the governors conference and
other potent factors, Haynes is
making ready to defy Capitol Hill,
and announce that the prohibition
unit will operate with unprecedent-
Cd efficiency during the coming
year 20
ment during 1928 has been the sub
ject of debate between wet and dry
advocated for the past several
months. The vets contend that
HayneC program, in it's first gem
eral stages, Indicated q more liberal
Interpretation Of the Volstead law.
On the other hand, the friends of
enforcement have declared that the
nation will be drier- than ever dur
ing. the new year.
To Revise Permit Rules.
The prohibition unit is not quite
satisfied with the restrictions al
ready placed on bonded liquor in
warehouses, and 1898 will see the
doors Of more licensed distilleries
1colxed and barred to persons seek
ing Withdrawals. The rules on
permits for obtaining liquor are
under consideration. and probably
vrIll be revised drastically.
The prohibition unit plans, during
1s2S. q nation wide campaign of
Education to show the liquor-buy-
inr section Of the public that only
ANAL quantities of real imported
roods are coming into the country,
and that purchasers are being daily

Further negotiations with Ca
madam and Mexican border officials

stopping the liquor flood from both
boundaries.

tions WIN be tightened. and active
