usually was with relation to the.
supply.
Large areas of the country are
without enforcement, it was charged
in recent debate in Congress- be-
cause prohibition agents are con-
centrated in large cities. States
and municipalities look to the fed
eral government for enforcement,
and the federal government lacks
facilities, congressman said.
Doran recently was quoted as say
ing: unless there should be a
drastic change in the feeling of
congress, to throw the federal gov
eminent into the business of
virtually policing the country-and
firmly believe that change never
will come-the scope of the author
ity of the federal government likely
will remain somewhat as it is to-
day regarding enforcement Of the
prohibition law.

expect to come about through a
more hearty and business-like CO.
operation with the fedora govern
ment on the part of states, cities,
and villages"

BY JOHN M. GLEISSNER
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-A grew
ing conviction that state and local
governments must assume a
greater share in prohibition en-
forcement If the Volstead act is to
be made effective is apparent among
government officials and members
of congress.
Experience has shown that the
federal government can do little
more than check smuggling, cut off
large sources of supply, and handle
the big violations. 1t is impossible
for federal agents to police the
country and prevent the operating
of speakeasies and the traffic Of
bootleggers.
DR.. James M. Doran, chief of the
prohibition unit, plainly stated this
fact in testimony before the house
appropriations committee, when he
said an appropriation of $500, 000 900
and a vast system of federal courts
would be required if the government
were to attempt police work.
He cited conditions in New York,
where there is no state enforcement
act, and where cooperation of local
authorities is limited. Persons ar
rested must be tried in already over
crowded federal courts.
Aim of the government, Doran
explained, was to break down the
commercial traffic and cripple
sources of supply. When agents
