Youngquist Sees Dangers in

Uniformity in prohibition en-

rather than a more drastic and
different search and seizure law
for the National Capital was urged
before the Senate District Commit
tee yesterday by Asst. Atty.
Gen. G. A. Youngquist, when the
committee opened hearings on the
Howell bill to give the District a
more stringent prohibition enforce
ment code.
Youngquist said that, on the
whole, prohibition enforcement
in the nation shows steady IN
provement. He advised the Sen
ate District Committee to report
fa,Torably most Of the Howell bill,
but not to attempt in the Ma
tional Capital such drastic pro

he believed would be helpful in

in the Capital. Britt said
Nothing arOuses me more
than the unwarranted invasion
of a private home, but / can't
see any objection to the SEN
ator'S bill on the score of its
authority
Both YoungquiSt and Britt were
favorable to the proposal to give
all Washington policemen enforce
ment powers Asked about prohi-
bition enforcement improvement
and the help Of the police, Britt
replied:
81 think when we get things
better clarified here and the
Commissioners are made directly
responsible things will greatly
improve here. I have no bad
opinions of the police depart
ment, though of course some Of
the men have fallen by the way
side just as some of our own
prohibition men have fallen"
