BY PAUL R. MALLON

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. U.P)-A
fight developed quickly today at the
senate judiciary committees execu-
tive session oVtr the proposal to in
Nostigatc prohibition enforcement,
ANA after a short but uproarious de-
bate the committee adjourned with,
out taking any action.
\ new resolution for an investiga-
tion was offered bv Chairman Nor.
riS, Republican. Nebraska, who said
re did not believe the pending
Wheeler resolution calling for the in.
Quiry was broad enough.
The Norris resolution proposed
that if the committee should find
there has been laXity in enforce
mcnt, it should also develop whether
such laXitY "has come about by reas-
on of inefficient or dishonest en-
forrement officials" or whether con,
grcss is to blame for failure TO pro
vide sufficient legislation.
The Norris proposal is the most
far reaching investigation suggested
in congress in recent years and it
would authorize the committee to in
vcstigate everyone connected in any
way with the law enforcement from
ton to bottom.
Even the President would not be
immune.
