 BY COMMISSION LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMIT TEE ENTIRELY AT SEA,
 REPORT REVEALS

WASHINGTON, Jan, 20, (P-- The majority of the law enforce ment commission found prohibi- ton sufficiently wanting to war rant change but was unable to agree unanimously
 The WickerSham commission embodied it's views in an even dozen conflicting reports all giv- en to Congress by President Hoover.
 The report of the whole com mission is a compromise Tn the individual reports two asked for outright repeal, four favored modification, two for a further trial with some form of refer endum, while the remaining advocated a continued trial with intensified enforcement.
 With one exception, the entire commission agreed that if the constitution is revised that it gould be best to strike out the absolute banning of liquor and give Congress the responsibility for the new solution.
 Although Lehman and Baker recommended repeal, the com mission, on the whole, rejected repeal or restoration of the sal loon, it opposed modification, permitting light wines and beer.
 After declaring there was not adequate observance or enforce nlent, the commission recom- raended increase in the Justice department and customs bureau personnel to prosecute violators.
 That the law should be amend ed to clarify the status of cider er fruit juices by making a more uniform provision for fixed al- eoholic content; more latitude tot federal searches and seizures and opposed unlimiting doctors sn the amount of liquor for prescriptions.
 Judge Anderson of Virginia offered the suggestion gov ernment controlled liquor sales, #s solution, and called the SWe- iish system by far the most suc- eessful of any form of control.
