 Washington, Jan. Il P)-How far prohibition enters into the Hoover law enforcement commissions gen. eral conclusion that the nation IS inadequately equipped for it's war against the criminal is to be made known on Monday with the publi- cation of it's long awaited report on the anti-lquor laws.
 This will be transmitted. to con- gress by President Hoover, through the usual channels. The chief exc cutivc has abandoned his plan for Ia joint congressional committee on prohibition to receive the report and study of the question of legislation for improving the enforcement of thc dry statutes"
 Say Machinery Inadequate
 The first concrete announcement of the results of the commissions survey was made in a statement published today, asserting that pro
 
 slave traffic immigration, and oth- er criminal laws of the federal gov ernment have overtaXed the capa- city and effectiveness of the nation hl machinery for enforcement"
 In addition, it declared that care fuI consideration is being devoted 10 he prohibition question, with spe cial attention to the manufacture ana sale of industrial alcohol, CO., ordination of federal enforcement agencies and measures intended to relieve congestion ill the federal courts.
 "A considerable portion of the activities of the committee has been given" the statement said, "to the development of proposals for action on most urgent questions" ariSing from the prohibition laws.
 La Toilette Says Hands of
 Simultaneous with the publication of the commissions statement came ln expression from Senator La Fol lette of Wisconsin, a member nl he indepcndcnt-rcp faction that the crime study group be al lowed to conduct it's survey unham- percd by outside influence or dis Cusslon.

That a deliberate effort is being made to hamstrinS the commission and discredit it> work is the only fair conclusion to be drawn from the untimely, bitter attacks now being made upon it n advance of it's report'
 President Hoover's request for I special joint committee of congress to handle the prohibition question was withdrawn after Chairman SneI of the house rules committee, had said the republican leadership ol that branch of congress thought tn, regular committees sufficient tc handle the question.
 Party Strife Denied
 Speaker Longworth and Repre-. sentative Tilson of Connecticut, the republican floor leader, promptly is sued formal statements denying that there was friction between them. selves and the White House. Witl Shell, they constitute the republican leadership.
 A supplemental statement iron the White House said that Mr Hoover was not interested in tn, question of procedure and that cX. petition of legislation was the prim, consideration
