Enforcement So Good. IailS
Are Needed. Declares
Attorney-G General.
POINTS TO CONVICTIONS
Norris. Impressed. Drops
Demand for Probe of

BIZ Upitcd Prcss
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Prohi-
bition is being enforced so well the
department. Of justice is confronted
with a grave problem as to what to
do with all the violators who are
being convicted, Attorney General
Mitchell told the senate judiciary
committee today in an executive ses-
sion.
Prosecutions are increasing, con-
victions are increaS lg and congeS-
ton of the courts IS diminishing,
Mitchell asserted
He cited statistics which we're not
made public, showing how great had
been the stimulus Of prosecutions
during the first year of the Hoover
administration as compared with
the last year Of the Coolidge admin
istration, although he old not men,
ton the administrations.
His argument was so convincing
that Chairman Norris of the COM
mittee, announced he would with
draw his resolution calling for a
senatorial inquiry of enforcement
conditions if friends of enforcement
generally continued to oppose it.
Mitchell did not oppose the reso-
luton. but said he did not think
it would do any good He saw no
necessity for it since enforcement
is progressing SO rapidly, he said.
Urges More Jails
The attorney general urged, how
ever, that congress enact i'm
mediate legislation to create more
jails and falling facilities for pro-
hibition prisoners. He said twice
as many men were in Atlanta
penitentiary as the place ordinarily
could hold A barracks was bought
at Leavenworth penitentiary in
Kansas to care for the enormous
increase in the prison population
there, he said.
Norris questioned Mitchell about
the use of political influence to
prevent and to interfere with pro-
hibition prosecutions. He cited
the charges made by Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, former assistant at
torney-general.
Mitchell replied that these
charges referred to time before
he became attorney-g general and,
therefore, he would not like to dis
Cuss them.
Mitchell endorsed the Wicker
sham reform bills, especially the
measure transferring enforcement
to his department from the treas~
ury. He advocated leaving the ir-
dustrial alcohol permit division In
the treasury.
Insists on Sincerity
'T thought my resolution would
be an aid to honest and fair enc
forcement," Norris said later. Il
think it would help to relieve poltti~
cal pressure in enforcement.
But if the people, who are Just
as ardently in favor of the law as
I am, believe it would injure the new
administration which seems to be
doing a little better, don't want to
spill the beans.
Personally If there has been
better enforcement, 1 have not OBJ
served it, but the figures they
produce indicate conditions are
somewhat better"
The committee probably will in-
vite Senator Wheeler Dem, Month,
to appear next week to speak on his
similar resolution proposing sem
atorial inquiry, Norris said. He
added that there is no disposition
in the committee now to vote upon
the resolution, which has been pend
iY7cr several months
