In contrast to the considerable sums which both friends and foes of pro- hibition have asked in congress from! time to time, the t's en- forcement officials plan to ask for a, raise of $2,400,000. The appropriation requests pre- pared by the liquor bureaus of the justice and treasury departments, call for a total of approximately $17,400,- 000. For the increase they intend to offer the taxpayers 500 new dry agents, and 90 more medicinal liquor and in- dustrial alcohol inspectors. And there will be larger staffs of clerks to handle the work turned in by the new agents which the dry chiefs confidently ex- pect will be more extensive and ef- ficient than ever. Of the total, the justice depart- ment’s enforcement unit under Direc- tor Amos W. W. Woodcock, is asking $11,200,000. During the current fiscal year the unit is getting $9,000,000 out of the $15,000,000 allowed by congress for prohibition work. If congress grants his request, Woodcock will have! 2,000 regular agents, plus 200 special} pair. men for big conspiracy cases, several inspectors and the 24 instructors who now are teaching the agents just what; to do and how not to act. The treasury’s industrial alcohol division, headed by Commissioner James M. Doran, seeks about $200,000, on top of its current $6,000,000 share of enforcement money. Salaries and administrative expense involved in adding the 90 inspectors will account for poars this planning was being com- pleted and the law-enforcement com- mission went on in private with its prohibition report task, the women’s national committee for law enforce- Ee came out with a statement, say- “While we await the report of the Wickersham committee as interesting and important, we do not expect it to comere than supply valuable inform- al The committee, of which Mrs. Henry ‘W.

A faint glimmer of light, sighted late last night by an airplane pilot as he circled Mt. Frazier, eight miles south of Gorman, kindled the search- ers’ hope as they fought against time and the knowledge that the women passenger, the pilot and mechanic of the plane, if alive, almost certainly would be suffering from the intense cold of the mountains at this season. ‘The light prompted officials at Le: bec to rush out a party on horseback. Thirteen miles of riding over tortuous mountain country lay ahead of them. Miss Jean D. Markow, of Los Ai geles and San Diego was the passen- ser aboard the plane. F. A. Donald- son, of Los Angeles, was the pilot, and George Rogers was the mechanic.
