CRIT IC|SM
Of POLICY
FUTILE
Specially Appointed Police to
Be Sworn In As Pro-
hibition Agents

Commissioner Oyster is not go
ing to allow any questioning of
the right Of policemen to be ap-
pointed prohibition agents to in
terfere with his aim to "dry up"
Washington, he declared today.
The request to have twenty
seven Washington policemen given
the authority of Federal prohibi-
ton officers, Oyster asserted, had
for its purpose closer cooperation
between the police and the Bureau
Of Internal Revenue.
Trying to Enforce Law.
II do not understand why any
one should question our attempt to
enforce the law BETTER" Oyster said,
referring to the charge Of illegality
placed against the plan to make
police dry agents by the Association
Against Prohibition Enforcement.
No technicality has been found
yet which would interfere with the
designation Of policemen as enforce
ment officers Of the Government,
the Commissioner indicated. Should
the courts decide that dual author
ity may not be given to tie police,
Commissioner Oyster declared he
would take the matter to Congress
and ask for specific authorization
for police to work as Federal
agents.
To Work With U. 8. Agents.
Every effort will be made to have
the police who are to work as
special agents perform that duty in
complete cooperation with the In
ternal Revenue Bureau and in COM
pliance with the prohibition law.
To obviate any possible over
stepping by such policeman Of their
authority in working as prohibition
officers, 1t Is planned to have legal
specialists Of the prohibition unit
talk to them on their duties. The
twenty-seven policemen will be
sworn in as Federal prohibition of.
ficers probably Monday or Tuesday,
1t was stated.

MILK BOTTLES
To UNDERGO
INSPECTION
New Purchases BY Diaries
Must Be Passed BY Dis
trict Officials

Milk dealers in the District will
be required in the future to sub
NIT new milk bottles purchased, to
the department of weights and
measures Of the District Govern
ment before putting them into use.
A request to make this require
ment Of milk dealers by Suprin-
tendent of Weights and Measures
George H. Roberts, was approved
by the Commissioners at a board
meeting today.
The policy adopted has its origin
in the discovery by inspectors that
a certain dairyman received lips
half pint bottles which average 1.6
grams short measure. The law al
lows a difference Of one-half dram.
Although the shortage is small,
superintendent Roberts estimates
that a shortage of one gram per
half-pint on milk bottles used in
the District would result in an an
ual loss to consumers oh about $780,
600. Should dairymen fail to sub.
NIT their new bottles to District
authorities for a test, they will be
prosecuted, 1t was announced.
