DRY DEBATE

Atty. General Mitchell
Says Conditions

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26--tPl-The
spreading controversy on prohibit
ton enforcement has brought two
government departments into the
verbal melee with statements in op-
position to senator Borah's asserta-
ton that with the present person.
mel the Volstead law can never be
made effective.
Attorney General Mitchell said
there had been an improvement in
the last six months and the possi-
bilities of further bettering condi-
tions we're being given careful study.
With approval Of the treasury. pro-
hibltion commissioner James M. Do
ran asserted Borah's condemnation
of the entire prohibition personnel
was unfortunate and bound to have
a disheartening effect upon the mo-
rale Of the service"
Men Jealous
Informed OF the Mitchell and Do
ran statements, the Idaho senator
met the attorney generals refer
ence 10 efforts % improve enforce

IDENTIFY its conditions were such as
to call for an effort and an heroic
effort. He added he had mo means
of knowing how much progress has
been made "as its results have not
yet appeared on the face Of things"
Mitchell said that in fairness 70
the men now engaged n the pro-
hibition service. he could not let
Borah's criticism pass unchallenged.
There has never. he asserted, been
greater zeal In the enforcement OF
the liquor laws than at present.
He went on TO say that more can
be accomplished when congress j.
ready to approve legislation carry
ing out the administrations recon-
mendations for more adequate law
enforcement machinery. His depart
ment has been at work for months,
he added. on measures designed 70
improve personnel, relieve conges-
ton in the courts and reorganize en-
forcement agencies

the last six months he declared
There has also, under the Presi-
dents leadership. been q noticeable

to improvement" asserted that TO
say that prohibition cannot be en-
forced with the present personnel
comes perilously near TO saying that
1t cannot be enforced at all" he
added that ION the whole. We are
not likely to find a more loyal and
conscientious group Of men than are
now serving under me"
Borah said Mitchells statement
was encouraging. but that "the tru-
tn OF the business is the personnel
Is in need Of drastic over-hauling,
and II the attorney general Is en-
gagged in that work. strength TO mis-
arm"
He continued that If there is any
proposal before congress which will
help this particular feature Of the
situation. that also should be speed
ed. but he added he knew "of no
proposal which will reach the con-
dition as see 10 in this particular

The report fixes time when It
may be especially valuable TO guard
development Of youth. The devia-
ton was found during study OF
attitudes OF $500 Iowa school child
ren toward law. It was made this
year by DR.. z. @. Lockhart, profess
sor Of Psychology at Drake Univer-

I'VE found" said DR.. Lockhart,
"that attitude toward law improves
with each intelligence until high
school. At the highest level Of in
teligence In high school, we discov-
cred d tendency TO fall below. or
perhaps we had better say deviate,
from the attitude held by adults.
This group stubbornly persists In an
attitude that does not conform to
the adults.
Sex appears to have no influ-
ence Of consequence on attitude to-
ward law. In grades IL and IL the
girls are shown to have an attitude
slightly nearer that Of adults than
the boys. This difference Is small
but constant"
