FUND FOR DRY
ENFORCEMENT
IS IN DANGER
Trend Toward Vets Keeps
Justice Department De-
mand Down.
PRISON WORK HALTED
Need for Jail Facilities viii
Be Less Acute If
Repeal Comes.

BIZ Scripps-H Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.-The
department of justice is taking
cognizance of the changing public
sentiment with reference to prohi-
bition and for the first time since
the eighteenth amendment was
adopted congress will not be asked
to increase the fund for dry law
enforcement.
Likewise, the department is not
seeking increased appropriations
for prison construction, an expense
caused by the expanding jail pop
ulation resulting from prohibition.
The current appropriation for the
prohibition unit is $10,250,000, which
is $1,119,0O0 less than for last year.
For the coming fiscal year, At
torney-G General Mitchell will ask
congress for only $10,250,000, even
though federal enforcement may
prove more expensive because en-
forcement codes in nine states were
repealed this year
Eighteen states, or more than
third of the total, now are
without supplemental prohibition
statutes and a drive is being made
in Pennsylvania for repeal of the
state code at the next session of the
legislature.
Prison Work Halted
indicative Of the new attitude of
the department of justice is the
hating of work on the new $3,000,-
900 southwestern peniUentiary at
Ell Reno, Okla. A new northeastern
prison just has been completed at
Lewisburg, Pa, and if the Volstead
law is repealed, the need for in
creased prison facilities will not be
so acute.
Department of justice officials,
while insisting they will enforce the
prohibition law as long as it is on
the statute books, realize that the
overwhelming vote against prohibit
ton has made their task more off
ficult.
One of the keystones of their en-
forcement structure has been pub
lie sentiment in the various states
and cooperation by state officials.
They apparently have lost public
sentiment, while state cooperation
rapidly is disappearing.
May Vote No Funds
Officials feel, also, that there is
possibility that no enforcement
funds whatsoever will be voted by
congress for the coming fiscal year.
Such movement now is gathering
momentum in congress and there
is talk of filibuster against the
department of justice appropriation
bill if it carries large sum for pro-
hibition enforcement.
Should congress fail to modify
the Volstead law at the coming
short session, and take steps looking
toward repeal, the difficulty which
many officials have anticipated, to
wit: Notification through lack of
enforcement, may confront the ma
ton after next June 30.
