DRY UNIT TRANSFER 0PPOSITION GROWS Decision to Postpone Such: Action Reveals Several Interesting Facts. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. the prohibition unit from the Treasury | Department to the Department of Justice is significant of a number of things which were not apparent when President Hoover made his inaugural speech. They may be enumerated as, Tollows: i | First, opposition to the transfer is growing. It will be opposed on tech-' nical grounds entirely apart from the wel and dry question, the argument being made that one department should | § not be both constable and prosecutor. Second, to open up the special ses- sion of Congress to a debate on this| item of administration would mean a | general discussion of prohibition with | glenty o opportunity for the wets to! uild up sentiment against the Jones law and other phases of prohibition | enforcement. Mr. Hoover would preteri to let the administrative side stay as it is until the commission can be ap- pointed and begin to function. | | Transfer Is Confused. i Third, the transfer has already gotten tangled up with the question of who shall be in charge of it. Mrs. Mabel ‘Walker Willebrandt is handling the prosecution of the Government's cases. | Her raids in New York City were not! popular. The administration is anxious | not to allow the prohibition contro-! versy to grow personal, but on the other | hand it is a fact that Mrs. Willebrandt’s Dizelihood of using the prohibition unit's | achinery for active local enforcement | 3; not relished by some members of Congress who, under the circumstances, ! fright be inclined to block action at the #pecial session. | On_the whole, it may well be doubt- | ed whether President Hoover will get | action on the transfer of bureaus for | another year or so.

By that time some recommenda- tions from the Law Enforcement Com- | mission may be expected. | Risks of Defeat Too Great.
