CONGRESS MAY GET NEW DRY LAW PLAN Proposal to Transfer En- forcement Unit to Justice De- partment May Be Studied. By ;ho Associated Press. tion transferring the prohibi- tion enforcement unit from the Treas- ury'tq the Justice Department may be | the added to the constantly growing agenda of the special session of the Seventy- first Congress, which begins Monday. President Hoover has discussed this matter with some congressional leaders, including Representative Cramton, Re- publican, of Michigan, an outstanding spokesman for the drys, and Attorney General Mitchell expressed the hope vesterday that the transfer will be authorized in the near future. The position of the Attorney General #s that since his department is to take reorganization incident to the change of administrations and the prohibition unit could be more readily absorbed in the midst of this process than at some later time. President Hoover proposed the trans- fer in his inaugural address as the first step in a general move for better law enforcement. Anti-Saloon League and other dry organization leaders at first were inclined to oppose this step, but the understanding now is that they are content to give the E:n a trial, espe- clally since they desire that the Chiei Executive have a free hand for carry- ing forward his plan for enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. Several dificult problems are involved in the proposed transfer and the work- ing out of the necessary legislation is expected to require some time, Even with the dry unit placed in the Justice Department there must be close co- operation between that department and ‘Treasury, under which must be left control of the Coast Guard and the Customs Service, which are co-operating in_enforcement. ‘While full plans for the absorbing of the prohibition unit by the Justice De- partment have not yet been formulated, the present expectation is that at the outset there will be no need for adding a. new Assistant Attorney General to take over the work of which the official who takes full charge of enforcement must be_relieved. Later, however, after the machinery THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Atho:x‘;h no !ltaumrl'l‘t huh m made, general expectation the unit will be absorbed by the division of the Justice Department now con- cerned with prohibition enforcement and which is presided over by. Mrs. Ma- bel Walker Willebrandt. In addition to prohibition, she now has direction of enforcement of the internal revenue and narcotic laws. Mrs. Willebrandt is looked upon as »’ warm friend of prohibiticn and leaders of the dry organizations are said to be more than satisfied to have administra- tion of the prohibition laws rheed in her hands. Whether Prohibition Com- missioner Doran will be transferred to the Justice Department with the unit does not for' the time appear to be quite clear. There have been suggestions that he would remain in the Treasury in his old position of chief chemist.
