ENFORCEMENT

Inspection of Breweries and

international News service.


Federal prohibition officials today
sought to fix larger responsibility
upon State officers for Volstead law
enforcement by authorizing State
and municipal officers to make in
spections of breweries, Whislsey and.
alcohol distilleries, and of all other
concerns legally, permitted to manu-
facture, sell or buy liquors.
All liquor permits granted by the
Government for 1924 will contain a
provision authorizing inspections by
State and municipal officers. This
is a sweeping departure from the
former policy under which onlv
Federal internal revenue, or pro-
hibition enforcement agents made
such inspections, to discover possible
violations OF the law.
Even before the deluge of appIi.
cations for new liquor permits, Pro-
hibition Commissioners Haynes said
today that the new rule will become
operative. He has ordered that the
right of inspection by State officers
shall become effective November Is.
Officials were informed that Gov
ernor PinchOt plans an immediate
cleanup of the liquor situation in
Pennsylvania, by concentrating his
State police forces in drive on
suspected illicit liquor plants, and
other liquor establishments.
The new rule extends the right Of
inspection in liquor matters 70 more
than 100000 State and municipal
officers in the United States.
