ANOTHER OF THE
 HOOVER BOOMERS J IS HEARD FROM
Attorney General Mitchell
 Spoke Last Night on Pro-
 hibition and Antitrust
 Laws :
nx rtfoMAs L. sToKEs

United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 Washington. April 1e.--(UP) -- Attorney General Mitchell was gen. erally believed in political circles to- day to have biaxed the way for the 1882 republican campaign in his Minneapolis speech last night on pro- ihbition annd the antitrust. laws.
 His address, the first in long time. stirred up 6 lively discussion here. particularly because of recent expressions on the same subjects by Chairman John J. Raskob of the democratic national committee, to which Mitcheli's speech was taken as an answer.
 The attorney general, who recent ly has instituted l. series of suits against trade associations for alleged violations of the antitrust laws, took particular pains to dissipate any idea he is trust -buster,' and assured business that his department plans no "unwarranted attacks" on 1t dur ing this time of depression.
 In the same speech, which was a general report of his Stewardship, he reiterated very plainly that his policy in prohibition enforcement will be 10 worry only about the big conner cial violators, the large rum rings and "rackets." leaving the smaller violations of the law to state and local agencies. Philosophically he added:
 wherever the local authorities are not disposed 10 prevent them. there will be innumerabIe violations which the federal authorities are not k- x.tttI t.A r were intended to cope with"
 Tn other words, if there is no local enforcement the government intends to do about the lesser cases-which is q long way from the position taken by republican administrations when the Volstead act was in its youth.
 Mitchel's tone was conciliatory toward big business, and he hinted that congress could do something t0 meet the situation which John ]. naskob is seeking to meet. that Is. by liberalizing the laws to conform to the trend toward consultations and mergers.
 Mitchell took occasion to describe trade associations as "as serving n useful purpose" thus denying any Interpretation. from the recent activ- ity against them, that the department is on the warpath against trade as- sociati0ns generally.
 Mitcheils address took on fur ther political color by his praise of President Hoover and defense of tho presidents appointments. This wan peculiarly pointed in Minnesota because of the controversy between tho administration and Senator Schaii of Minnesota over the ap- nolntment of Gunnar Nordbye, of Minneapolis as federal judge.
