A determined effort to transform
New York into a model community
so far as the illicit sale of liquor is
concerned, was decided upon yester-
day at a conference between Roy A.
Haynes, Federal Prohibition Commits
sipner, and Ralph A. Day. the State
Prohibition Director. Before return
ing to Washington last night, Mr..
Haynes said he lad told Mr.. Day he
could have all the help he needed. He
added that, at present, Mr.. Day was
more concerned with the character of
the enforcement agents who worked
under him than with their numbers.
The decision to attempt to procure
more rigid enforcement Eereabouts. it
was said, resulted from a belief that
New York city had become 'the center
of notification If New York can be
made reasonably dry Mr.. Haynes feels
that like results can be accomplished
anywhere in the country.
1t was reported last night that soon
after Mr.. Haynes left Mr.. Days office
two. of the clerks there were placed on
the civil service inactive list" No ex-
planation was forthcoming, however.
Earlier In the day Mr.. Haynes spoke OF
continually adding and "disassociating"
members Of the clerical and enforce
