Radical Changes viii Be
Made in Machinery of
Enforcement.
REPORT IS DUE MONDAY
Congress Is Expected 10
Back Commission in
Its Findings.
BY KENNETH G.. CRAWFORD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Radical
changes in the organization of
Volstead law enforcement agencies
within the next few months APP
peared today as the inevitable out
come Of recent developments in the
prohibition controversy.
Responding to demands Of vets
and drys alike. President Hoover
will send to congress next Monday
q preliminary report from the law
enforcement commission, recon-
mending readjustment of executive
and judicial enforcement machinery,
which congressional leaders have
promised will be considered care
fully.
The commission reiterated its be-
lief that drastic measures are
necessary to improve general law
enforcement procedure, in a state
ment Friday, declaring its pre-
liminary investigation has demon
strated unquestionably that the
criminal law enforcement machinery
of the country is entirely mad
equate."
Modification Is Out
The statement dealt with law en-
forcement generally, only 220 of its
1000 words dealth with prohibition,
and these words closed the door on
any modification proposals by &C
cepting the law and sketching very
generally suggestions for improved
enforcement.
The commission recognized con-
gressional charges that diversion OF
industrial alcohol is one of the ma
for problems, by saying it is giving
special attention" to this subject.
The statement was forced by the
attacks in congress-; but 1t created
only a ripple, since the commission
offered nothing new. Its report,
however, is awaited eagerly.
House leaders have committed
themselves to a policy of giving the
President anything he wants" to
make the prohibition law more eff
fective, and as the senate already
has demonstrated its willingness to
do likewise, adoption of the commits
Sion's program seems certain.
House Backs Hoover
Assurances of house leaders they
will not stand in the way Of the
Presidents program we're given Fri
day after they had refused to au-
thorize appointment of joint con-
gresSional committee on prohibition.
When this was interpreted as q
"split" between the President and
the house, Speaker Longworth and
his associates fastened to explain
the disagreement was over proceed
ure only, and not a revolt against
the program itself.
In formal statement explaining
his position, Longworth said bill
to transfer the prohibition bureau
from the treasury to the justice de-
partment would be passed without
delay. Study of this Shift, proposed
by the President, was to be one of
the principal functions of the joint
committee.
It is understood the commissions
preliminary report, which has been
in the Presidents hands for several
DAYS, recommends, besides transfer
of the prohibition bureau, a con-
soIidation of border patrol forces,
measures to relieve congestion in
federal courts and codification of
the twenty-four federal prohibition
statutes.
