ment officers in the District have made
81 arrests and seized LOO quarts OF

whole, Is regarded by some police au-
thorities as indicating a disposition
among bootleggers to quit the traffic
The enforcement officers assert they
have not been less vigilant or active

MRS. W|LLEbRANDT
TO KEEP DRY POST
Assistant Attorney General
to Remain in Charge of
Enforcement.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Indications today were that Mrs. Ma
bel Walker Willebrandt will remain in
charge of prohibition enforcement in
the Department of Justice. The full
support of the administration will be
given her in what may become the most
| colossal task of the Government in the
next few years.
Few persons in the Government know
the difficulties of enforcement as does
Mrs. Willebrandt, and few officials have
the record she has of refusing to con-
slider political pleas III prosecuting Of
tenders.
Mrs Willebrandt had been consider
ing the return to private practice. The
dry organizations Immediately started a
drive 10 have her stay. 1t Is through
the Assistant Attorney Generals office
that instructions are issued to the
United States attorneys. The power to
continue or drop suits, to press them
vigorously or let them lag lies with the
person in charge of prohibition enforce
ment. Mrs. Willebrandt came into the
Department of Justice under President
Harding. Attorney General Daugherty
insisted that this branch Of the Gov
ernment's work be absolutely free from
politics.
Given Dry Support.
Mrs. Willebrandt has the confidence
Of the drys, who would be the first to
attack her If she had compromised with
law violators. She has had the I'M
Stinted support of Presidents Harding
and Coolidge, and now will have the
complete confidence, too. of President
Hoover. Coming from California, she
was an ardent Hooverite in the pre-
| convention campaign. Her determined
attitude toward law violatorS has I'M
questionably stirred up much opposi-
| ton against her. some of which is re-
| Elected now in Congress and some of
which came out during the campaign.
| But it is custom now for the drys
| to put their stamp Of approval or dis
| approval on officers who have RESPONSE
bilities in connection with law enforce
ment, and the fact that dry organiZa-
! lions are insisting that Mrs. Willbrandt
stay in Office is significant It means
| that they would rather have her con-
| tinue than have a successor OF doubtful
viewpoint appointed Also the effort
to have all prohibition activities con-
centrated in the Department Of Justice
is largely due to the vigor with which
cases have been prosecuted through Mrs.
Willebrandt.
Treasury Jurisdiction.
The Treasury Department, which has
Jurisdiction over the prohibition unit.
is charged with the detection OF crime.
the making of arrests. The Depart
ment of Justice. therefore, Is able to
prosecute only those cases which the
prohibition unit discovers. The plan
now is to have the detection OF crime.
as well as the prosecution. handled IN
the same office, so that responsibility
can be fixed. 1t is not clear yet whether
special attorney general will supervise
the operations of the prohibition unit
when it Is transferred to the Depart
ment of Justice or whether its work
will be joined with that of the Bureau
of Investigation, thus putting the whole
detective and police forces OF the De-
partment of Justice together.

 KENOSHA, Wis, Jan. 24.- Pistol shots that found human targets, crudely fashioned bombs that damaged homes, street fights and crowds of men and women going gaily to jail, are chapters in the 10 month labor contro- yersy between the Allen A. Knit ting Company and its former em- ployees.
