Washington, June II, (By the A.
Pas the chief official of the De-
partment of Justice charged with
enforcing prohibition, Mrs Mabel
Walker Willebrundt, assistant attor-
neygeneral, submitted 10 defense Of
the laws administration today before
the Senate Daugherty investigating
committee.
Many times in the prolonged hear
ing witnesses have made charges
against the enforcement regime and
Mrs. Willebrandt went into details of
these accusations az length, introduc-
ing at one point a letter from At
torney-General Stone which said that
much of the testimony dealt with
"half truths" and impressions.
"The point l am making" Mrs.
Willebrandt said "is that many wit
nesses have given you testimony
against the Department Of Justice
when, in fact, their real grievance
lay against another branch of the
government"
On several occasions, she told
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana,
the committee "prosecutor" to "wait
a minute" when he sought to inter
vene in her spirited account.
