Of President Hoover's law enforce
ment committee, to Gov. Franklin D.

The refusal to allow the question

tee, which held the conference was
pledged not to vote on controversial
subjects.
Although no vote was taken. Gov
ernor Dern Of Utah, chairman Of the
executive committee. said a consul
tation with other governors had re-
vealed, however. that all favored the
sentiment Of the resolutions.
The decision brought to an end .
round table discussion on prohibition
In the course of which Governor
Ritchie OF Maryland had declared
that 1T Is time for the country to
realize that the eighteenth amend
mcnt imposes no obligation on the
state to enforce It," And II they
choose not to do SO "they violate no
legal or moral obligation"
Governor Ritchie pointed out that
courts and police in Maryland. under
an attorney generals ruling, do not
act in prohibition cases. He said that
for this reason the courts and police
are left more time to act In other
cases, with the result that there have
been more arrests and more convic-
ttons for other types Of crime than
ever before and that crinainality Is on
the wane In the state. He believed
the same thing would happen else
where II states concentrated on class
es Of crime other than those created
by prohibition.
