PROHIBITION,
farm RELIEF
Face HOOVER
Makes No Response to
Changing Dry En-
forcement Depart
ment; Nears Port

U. s. S. UTAH, Jan. 4.-(Pp-Be-
sides the selection Of lis cabinet and
the making Of other appointments
of almost equal Importance. Herbert
Hoover soon must give his attention
to two Of the grayesr problems be-
fore his administration-prohibition
enforcement and farm relief legisla-
ton.
Suggestions ~emanating from
Washington that the prohibition
unit be transferred from the treas
ury department to the department Of
justice meet no response from the
presldent-elect. IL is asserted that
an act Of congress is necessary in
the first place to bring about such
a transfer if it should be deemed adj
visable for administrative purposes
which has not yet been conceded.
Mr.. Hoover readily recognizes the
abuses which have grown up in the
enforcement of the dry laws and in
the treatment of the subject during
his campaign he declared that only
an organized searching investiga-
tion OF the facts ard eases could
determine the methods for correct
ing them. His idea was for the
appointment OF n commission To
study not only enforcement abuses
but the ~workability Of the law IT,
self. The selection Of such a COM
mission. however. he recognizes. ad-
mittedlv would be a difficult task
especially in view Of the fact that
prohibition figured prominently in
the presidential campaign.
Consideration Of the arm relief
question undoubtedly will 20 over
until the present session OF con-
gress. Mr.. Hoover does not desire
to anticipate the action Of this con-
gFess. although the belief is general
that there is no more probability Of
action now than there was az the
time the president-elect a%rnuonced
he would call an extra session Of the
new congress To act II the present
one failed q put through ADEQUATE
agricultural legislation.
