OH lie pOu.
While many OF the missionaries
to the editors lave been answered.
the prohibition chief directed that
letters be sent the editors telling
them to disregard the first letter Of
inquiry.
There we're signs some members
or the law enforcement commits
sion as well as some government
officials believed the prohibition
bureau was going beyond its juris-
diction in conducting the poll. but
Mr.. Woodcock said he had ordered
II abandoned entirely upon my own
yolition.''
without Orders
He said there had been some OBJ
Iections. but not many and he en-
phasized he was acting as he
thought best and without orders.
The QUESTIONABLE, sent out by e.
A. Grant. acting chief of the d.
vision Of research. asked the edit
Q ! II they favored the eighteenth
amendment and Volstead act,
whether they were opposed to the
dry laws, or whether they were
neutral.
The letter transmitting the ques-
tionnaire said the prohibition bureau
wanted to get the attitude OF the
press Of the nation as a whole on
the subject of prohibition.
Woodcock made the announce
ment of the change In plans after
an earlier statement that answers
to the missionaries would not be
made public. as originally planned.
The decision to call the poll itself
was made later.
The director said his bureau
could continue to issue monograms
ON prohibition, giving the facts de-
veloped against the dry laws as well
as those in favor of them.
Discussing his recent trip 10 Chi
cago and Wisconsin, Woodcock said
he had been impressed by the CO.
operation afforded federal agents by
police in rounding UP commercial
violators, but he believed the fed
eral force was "pitlfully small"
The director described as errone-
GUS stories saying he had advocated
establishment OF scholarships at
universities for the study Of prohi-
bition. He said he had suggested
only tina. students who must write
these devote their research to pro-
hibition and had expressed the
opinion that the prohibition bureau
might be able to pay them for the
work.
The bureau. he said. had sought
such cooperation from the economic
departments OF three universities
witch he did not name.
