NEW OFFENSIVE:
PLANNED BY
WOODCGCK
Prohibition Director Plans to
Conduct Drive Against Big
VioIators; New Agents Due

Get the facts about prohibition
violations and then concentrate
on the commercial violator-that
is and will be the policy Of the
Federal dry machine after the
big concentration against the
organized rum trust beginning
July 1, Col. Amos w. W. Wood
cock, dry chief, announced today.
MIR. WOOdcOck has asked al
field officers to send to Washing
ton clippings, including news
stories and editorials, relating to
prohibition activities.
New Agents Ready
Clippings already are beginning
to reach the bureau. BY these
clippings Mr.. Woodcock will be
able to determine where dry
activities are greatest and where
public sentiment is favorable, or
the reverse. This will be Of value
in distribution Of the $50 new
agents who will go onto the pro.
hibition payroll July /.
All efforts of the bureau are
now being directed at prepara-
tions for the period Of maximum
of activity against prohibition
violators scheduled to start about
July IS, when the new men
taken on will be graduated from
the dry schools. A total Of $50
new agents already are in train
ing and will be ready for duty
within a short time.
Courts to Be Speeded
Mr.. WoOdcock indicated that
the bureaus efforts would be di
rected at placing only important
commercial cases before the Fed.
eral courts. Already the bureau
is making more cases than can
be handled by the Federal courts
One of the flaws in the prohi'
bition enforcement situation in
the last few years. has been that
in many instances the Federal
courts were unable to dispose OF
cases for 18 months after their
presentation, thus lessening the
probability of conviction.
