TO AID IN CLEANUP

Asking that action be taken to
end gross violation" of the law by
holders of Federal alcohol permits,
Gov. Pinchot in a letter to Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon has suggest
I ed a personal conference with the
Secretary on the question of prohi-
bition enforcement. The governors
letter, written after conferences
here with State police heads, pro-
hibition enforcement agents and
Maj. William G. Murdoch, Philadel-
phia, of the Federal enforcement ad-
ministration, was in reply to Secre-
tary Melons promise in letter
dated November of close co-opera-
ton with the Pennsylvania State
cries.
After thanking the Secretary for
his assurances that Federal permits
would be withheld from breweries
that have been operating unlawfulIy
Gov. Pinchot declared that the viola
ton of the law in the denatured al
cohol field had been more vicious
and far more important" than in the
breweries.
Offers Aid in Cleanup.
He asked that action be taken to
put stop to these gross violations"
and offered the assistance of the
State police in doing so. The COVER
nor said he was prepared to offer
the details of more than 100 such
violations. He said illegal diver
sions of alcohol were possible main
ly because Government regulations
allow the. distilleries to ship their
products to a denaturing plant at a
distance"
ut is not necessary" said the gov
ernors letter, Ito discuss mistaken
statements in your letter further
than to point out that present regu-
lations do not forbid putting strong
beer into racking machines. that no
bCi mt NcA Il dS6 AeiS ever Dttu IT,
voked in Pennsylvania for putting
strong beer into racking machines,
barrels or bottles. and that the State
police have not actually been given
the right to inspect breweries at
any time, as your letter assures me
they have. Several days after the
date of it they were refused admis-
sion to a number of permit-holding
breweries. | assume that this will
be corrected at once
Cites Violations.
Citing number of specific ways
in which he declared that violation
of Federal alcohol permits were
made possible, Gov Pinchots letter
said
The final decision as to these
permits was not made in Philadel-
phia, but in Washington 1t is OBJ
yious that the men in Washington
who are responsible for granting or
/ restoring permits under such condi-
tons have no proper place in the
Government service"
