effort to put fresh life into the en-
forcement organization.
Explaining the retention of so
many former officials, Mr.. Andrews
said he had concluded after meet
ing them that 1t would be "a great
mistake not to give most of them
the chance to operate under a sys-
tenn that l feel will give more pow
er and efficiency"
/ Seven of the executives were
named only as acting administra-
tors because, General Andrews said,
he had not yet Determined on the
men who may meet the require
ments" in those districts. He ex-
pected, however, that some of those
given temporary assignments may
demonstrate their ability to render
the service

No statement has yet been made

stood that he will be retained under
r. B. Sans the newly named head
for the New England district. and
that his activities will cover a larger
range than at present.
Mr.. Green who is a former pub
Usher of the Boston Journal, will be
charged with the building up of a
highly trained group of Investigators
who will work on big conspiracy
cases.
r. B. Sans, former director for
New Jersey. will be acting admins
traitor of the Boston district.
AS soon as the administrators as
semble their stats of assistants.
they will commence their campaign
along three definite lines of attack.
Their squadron of mobile forces
will be directed chiefly against the
sources of bootleg supply and the
bootleg market will be attacked
through the medium of an educa-
tional campaign.
The third objective set by the
drive chiefs calls for the federal
forces to assist and develop local law
enforcement, and this duty, classed
as secondary" will be left to the
judgement, initiative and resource
fulness" of the federal administrat-
ors.
This bootleg business may be ell
by depriving it of its
said Mr.. Andrews. 1T may
be seriously impeded by the arrest
and punishment of those who direct
its operations, who furnish it pro-
lection, banking facilities, technical
assistance, etc, and by making its
operations more expensive than the
market will bear. The federal forces
have been re-organized for. and will
be conducted upon, the task of ell
the bootleg industry; and
their energies will be directed pri-
marily to that end, working along
these three lines of attack.
