BALTIMORE, Nd, February 19.--
The assignment OF fifty prohibition
agents in the state and tho removal
OF Edmund Budnitz as director Of
prohibition in Maryland Was request
ed OF President Coolidge yesterday by
the AntiSaloon League following a
meeting of its headquarters commit
tee. The league wants IAN outstand-
ing man, who believes in the emf orce-
rnent of the prohibition law" as pro-
Aihition chief in Maryland, according
TO George w. Crabbe, superintendent,
who said:
Our resolution is not an attack on
!1dmund Budnitz, director OF prohibit
tion; His handling OF the permit work
OF this state has been all right. AS
1ar as we know, II couldn't be bet
tered. But one thing we know is that
enforcement OF the dry law here has
got to be reorganiZed on a more ag-
SreSSiVe and stringent plane.
Strictly "Dry" Urged.
"a new head of prohibition enforce
taent in Maryland has got to be chos-
en-. This new head should be an out
end-out dry, q man who is in full
sympathy with strict enforcement
Then. too, the new chief should be an
that is authoritative and capable OF
inspiring respect.
He should be given full aid and
support from Washington. The pal
try number of dry agents in Mary
Land should be increased to at least
1irty. Maryland deserves that number
because of her attitude. 1t makes no
difference that this number would be
more than most states have.
AT least twenty-five states in the
country could do without federal
agents entirely, because OF state pro-
aibition enforcement forces. When
New York repealed Its state enforce
>nent bill the attorney general of Ohio
offered Commissioner Haynes all his
federal agents for service In New
Iorl, declaring that the enforcement
officers of Ohio could handle the sit
uat;on there.
Declared General Move,
The ofer> was not accepted" Mr.
Crabbe continued. but 1t should have
oeen. There are twenty-five states
ike Ohio or this question. The agents
from these states should be concen-
trated in Washington and sent to the
-aost needy sections"
Mr.. Crabbe declared that this move
On the part of the league was not an
isolated move, but an application of
what Will be the policy OF the league
throughout tho country.
