DRY LAW HANGS
ON SINCERITY
Of AGENTS
Col. WoodcoCk Has Pride in
Morale of Staff Seen
Under Difficulties

On the morale and sincerity
of it's agents will depend ulti-
mate successful enforcement of
the liquor law by the Prohibi-
ton Bureau, in the opinion of
Col. Amos W. w. WOodcock,
director.
An agent found a still near
Bardstown, KY, with only
blind mule keeping vigil. The
agent slapped the mule on the
rump and, letting the animal
pick his own direction. kept be-
laboring the animal until it led
the man to the home of the still
owner, who was found with
mash-spattered clothes and ar
rested.
An agent in San Francisco
raided a new Speakeasy bar, and
the bartender smashed all the
bottles on the floor. The agent
mopped some liquor up with his
handkerchief and saved it for
evidence, being commended later
by his superior for his adroitneSS.
Two agents spent IL hours
dragging boat over the shallow
headwaters of the tiny Wolf
River in western Tennessee, chop
ping logs and driftwood out of
the way, and fighting mosquitoes,
heat, foul gases and poisonous
water moccasins. They finally
reached deeper water, and floated
down on a 400-gallon still, ar
resting the amazed owner who
said he had considered that route
to the still impregnable.
Director Woodcock'S office also
points out that these Government
officers are also often injured
in their work, sometimes in a
freak way. One agent had
leg and chin badly cut by the
explosion of a bottle of liquor
he was holding up in court, his
left thumb being almost severed
also.

To RETIRE
IS SET FORTH
BY B|LLER
Appeal to Pass QuadrupIe
Measure Sent to Con-
gresS by Expert

The plea that there are many
Federal employees partially but
not totally disabled who ought
to retire, and whom the Gov
ernment should permit to re-
tire, on, annuity has been sent
to Congress as an argument
favoring a quadruple bill pro-
viding for voluntary retire
ment of Government workers
after 80 years of service.
The statement explains:
"These are the employees who
are daily fighting a losing bat
tie with disease. If they remain
at work, they probably will
reaNh the retirement roll
through the total disability
route, unless they die in the
meantime.
Seen as Wise Move
'Tt Is somewhat doubtful II
these employees can render full
service, although all of them
may earnestly strive to do so.
Seemingly, it would be a wise
policy for the Government to
permit them to retire at an
earlier age than now provided
for by the law"
In his argument for the pas
sage Of the measure, now in com
mittee, Ulrey j. Biller, retirement
expert representing the organized
Government workers, declares
that during last year, those EN-
ployes, taking advantage of the
present retirement laws before
reaching the compulsory retire
mentage, were an average of 50
years old, and their terms of ser
vice averaged 36 years.
Hope for Passage
The optional retirement bill is
the only positive measure favor
ing Government employees now
in Congress for which they have
any hopes of passage this session
it is pointed out.
