The House Appropriations Committee has approved of expenditure of nearly thirteen million dollars for Federal prohibition enforcement for next fiscal year.
The committee published a report stating that there were a hundred thousand drug addicts in the United States, including many professional persons and children. It also stated that, the illicit liquor traffic was growing, due to the substitution of a scholastic type of dry agents for husky officers. The report urged the necessity for the separation of youthful prisoners from older criminals to prevent the latter from teaching the former their occupations, especially counterfeiting, while imprisoned.
