WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Sug-
gestions that the prohibition unit
be transferred from the treasury
department to the department OF
justice are disapproved by the
Methodist Board of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals.
Consideration of all factors leads
to conclusion that the present or
ganization of prohibition enforce
ment should be allowed to be COM
pleted and develop for a term Of
years at least" the board says. ITO
say the least, no change should be
made without careful consideration
and the determination of compel
ling reasons for a change"
The board believes that it is bet
ter to continue the present policy
of having one government depart
ment conduct Investigations OF vio-
lations and another conduct the
prosecution than to place both in
vestigation and prosecution under
one chief. 1t recalls that the de-
partment of justice prosecutes vio-
lations of the pure food and other
laws for the department of agricul-
ture and postal frauds for the post
