Warned Not to, He May Lose

If He Insists

NEW YORK, July 11-An ambi-
ton, newly born in the I heart OF
"Izzy' Einstein, liquor sleuth oil
many DISCUSSES, was quietly put tc
death today by Palmer Garfield,
prohibition director for this state.
Izzy's ambition was conceived
when he read that his chief, Roy
A. Haynes, prohibition commissioner
for the whole United States, was
writing a book to be called Hunt
ing down the rum runner"
why shouldn't l write a book?'
asked Izzy. He got out his SCRAP
book, stuffed with big headlined
newspaper stories and photographs
OF the booze forays in which he and
his partner, Moe Smith. camouflaged
under a thousand makeups, had
sherlocked the downfall of as many
bootleggers. There he was, disguis-
ed as a gravedigger, an ice a a
colored man, a funeral director, Q
Broadway fiddler, a street car con-
ductor, a Maitre D'Hotel, a buyer
from Oshkosh, and even as a prohi-
bition agent.
So Izzy disguised himself ace
more. This time as an author. en-

q publicity man, and sat him down
to pick a title.
He rejected "1,001 American
Nights" and THE Drys of the Law"
finally deciding in favor of The
Easements of New York"
In the meantime publishers got
the word and asked Mr. Garfield to
corroborate it.
II don't know whether Mr.. Elm
stein can write a book or not" Mr..
Garfield told them. But 1 know he
will not be allowed to as long as he
remains with the treasury depart
ment, for there is a ce~ntury-old rul-
ing prohibiting employees of the de-
partment from making public the
details of their jobs"
Asked whether the ruling applied
equally to MI. Haynes, the state pro-
hibition director answered the tele-
phone.
Izzy said he would appeal to Mr..
Haynes for permission to go on with
the book, now that he has the title
written.
