'Pinching Pints' Won't Stop Bootlegging
Saws Woman Nemesis Of Rum Runners
Mrs, WiIIebrandt Declares
Agents Must Get at Source
of Supply,
BY HARRY p. HUNT

E-7 AsHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The
IWI bootlegger's Nemesis is not
G Izzy Einstein, Gotham's de-
mon prohibition sleuth.
Nor is it Lone Wolf" Asher,
whose nose for synthetic gin has To-
Gated the lair Of countless rum
caches.
1t Is not even Roy Haynes, CRU
sading prohibition commissioner, nor
Is it any of his staff.
Instead, it's brown-haired,
brown-eyed little woman Of "a, who
admits her age, possesses a firm
chin and abundant energy and has
head full of ideas and the keen in
telhgence with which to apply them
effectively. Her name is Mrs. Mabel
Walker Wiuebrandt Officially she
is an assistant attorney general OF
the United States, IN charge Of the
legal end of enforcing the prohibition
and tax laws.
Mrs. Wilebrandt would be tho
first to disclaim the title Of boot
legger's Nemesis. She'd tell you, in
stead, that the prohibition law is not
being enforced; that there is a steady
and torrential flow of liquor into the
United States; that a vast quantity
Of alcoholic beverages is being pro-
duced commercially within the coun-
try; that bootlegging has come to
be one Of the big businesses Of the
nation, with a turnoveraOf hundreds
of millions annually.
And right there, because she rec
ognizes the futihty Of present efforts
to enforce the law. and instead OF
maintaining that enforcement is pro
crossing finely has set to work to
develop methods FOR ,ess spectacular
but more effective enforcement, is
where she qualities for the title OF
the rum-runner's Nemesis.
I'VE can never enforce prohibition
by 'pinching the pints," she de-
clares. Enforcement has got to
start back of the retail distribution.
The first problem is to stop the
sources Of supply. and these are.
chiefly two.
