PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT
FAILURE ALMOST COMPLETE
EVIDENCE BEFORE COMMISSION
(By Cable—Preas Assn.—Copyright.)
(Recd. March 11, 9 - 4 *> a,n ?\ n NEW YORK, March 10. The “New York Herald Tribunes Washington correspondent states: President Hoover’s Law Enforcement Commission is conducting its investigation behind closed doors, which is separate from the hearings going before the House. ’’he Judiciary Committee has already collected astounding evidence of the almost complete breakdown ot prohibition enforcement in many parts of the country. The evidence under consideration concerns not Courts, but the - psychological effects of the efforts of enforcement upon sections of the population by whom the laws are not regarded as morally binding. The situation in the cities is s<aa to have given rise to totally dispassionate testimony concerning the difficulties of enforcement, which in many instances eclipse the shocking claims recently made publicly by the wets before the House Committee.
