ATTITUDE WAITING MAINTAINED
BY FEDERAL PROHIBITION
OFFICIALS
UNABLE FILL ACHING WIG
Concentration of Agents in One State
Would Lead to Serious Increase
In Whiskey Running in Others
WASHINGTON, June 20—An atti
tude of waiting was maintained today
by the federal government toward the
New York prohibition enforcement sit
uation, resulting from Governor
Smith’s signature to the New York en
forcement law repealer.
Commissioner Haynes and other of
ficials remained silent and it was in
dicated that determination of a policy
would await the outcome of future
conferences in which President Hard
ing may have the deciding voice.
A few prohibition agents from other
parts of the country, it was indicated,
at prohibition headquarters, may be
sent to New York, but officiate private
ly conceded that these could not fill
the hole in the enforcement work as
deep as complete withdrawal of the
New York police agencies would make.
A complete withdrawal is expected by
government officials who believe that
the New York State authorities will
follow to some extent at least Gover
nor Smith’s injunction that the Vol
stead act be regarded as applicable
and enforceable in New York.
Courts Must Act
Local courts and magistrates of
New York, department of justice offi
cials also pointed out, are required by
general Jaw as well as the Volstead
act to deal with prohibition offenders
brought before them, either by impos
ing sentences or taking bail and bind
ing over the prisoners for action by
the federal grand jury. Repeal of the
Mullan-Gage law, according to officers
of the department^ does not relieve
the New York district and police
judges and mayors from this duty,
imposed by section 1014 of the revis
ed statutes and also incorporated in
the Volstead act. It was conceded,
however, that one result would be to
increase prohibition cases before the
federal courts and add to the present
congestion.
There were indications that the ad
ministration would move slowly to
ward announcing an ultimatum of its
policy. How New Yorkers behave
themselves under the new order of
liquor affairs is expected to be an im
portant factor in making the deci
sion. If an orgy of bootlegging and
of open “speakeasies” should develop
government officials are prepared to
make an effort to sustain the tederal
constitution and the laws.
With only about 2300 prohibition
agents employed by the government
and between 200 and ?ic already as
signed to the New York district re
sponsible officials declare it m impos
sible to transfer any considerable
number to augment the New York
forces without serious neglect in en
forcement work thruout the remain
der of the country, such a policy it
was said, might lead to a serious in
crease in rum running and border
smuggling in other states.
