Washington. May 2s (uP)-Pro- hibition Commissioner Doran an. nounced today that all prohibition agents patrolling highways soon would wear. distinctive caps and "pie- plate' shields so that motorists they halt may not mistake them for holdup men.

 "'rhe dry. agents new cap, of dis { tinctiye color and design, yet to be chosen, will he seen at once by the motorists" Doran said. "The shield will further identify the agents. If the motorist then fails to stop it will not be because he fears a hold up but because he perhaps is carry ing liquor he wishes to conceal" Doran added he believed it would be difficult for highwaymen posing as prohibition officers, to initiate the caps and shields.
 He said he had asked Comptrol- Ter General McCarl to spend some of the prohibition bureaus funds for such equipment. If McCarl is un2ble to do so, the highway patrol agents may be asked to buy caps and shields and await remuneration un- der congressional appropriation.
