B—2 * PADLOCK LIMIT, - DRY FIGHTERSAIM McCampbell, Chosen Czar in New York Hot Corner, . Is Born Raider. “Eliminate the source of illicit liquor supply. Padlock speakeasies and night clubs for a year.” This, in brief, is the militant pro- gram upon which Andrew McCamp- bell, new prohibition administrator for New York State, will embark when he takes over the reins on Tucsday, in an attempt to dry up what is recognized as tne wettest spot in these dry United States. “Andy,” as he is known to his asso- ciates, shows real enthusiasm for the difficult task which has been handed to him by the Hoover administration, in its new drive against booze under the Department of Justice regime. He realizes that he is up against a tough proposition in New York Oity and State, but he flashes a pleasant smile on his determined face, which seems to say he means business. Can Size Up Situations. Not tall of stature, but sturdily and almost siockily built, this dynamo of quiet energy gives the impression to one calling upon him at his offices in Wash- of a man with long experience " & man of ability to size the swivel “Andy” McCampbell was a deputy United States marshal in the wide open spaces of Texas long before he entered the service of the Internal Revenue Bureau. As a matter of fact, this new dry czar for New York knows the raid- ing business from the ground up. Ac- to those who know him, he is not afraid of any man. His friends swear by him and his foes swear at him. But all admire him just the same. His hair is growing a bit thin on top. He wears glasses. “The biggest problem in the enforce- ment of prohibition,” McCampbell said today, “is to eliminate the source of supply, and I intend to go after all the saurces of supply I can find. Any kind of a plant that is manufacturing il- licit liquor is the basic problem of pro- hibition enforcement, and I know there are several in New York State. Padlock, Strongest Weapon. “The strongest weapon in the hands of the Federal Government in the en- forcement of prohibition is the padlock. I intend to use it. Put a big padlock on a place for a year, shut it up tight against any kind of occupancy, and you have convinced owners of that property that it is unprofitable to allow the Alaperation of places there to violate the aw.” Admitting it was difficult to get suf- ficient evidence to prove a padlock case and snap on the big brass lock on its doors, McCampbell nevertheless has de- clared war on rum places with the pad- lock as his shield and emblem. “I am going after the speakeasies and the night clubs,” he declared quietly but with the emphasis of the old timer. “I believe in prohibition, and I don't think any one should be in the dry service who doesn’t. What is the use of expecting enforcement if you make agents out of speakeasy operators or bootleggers?" “Andy” McCampbell has been in Uncle Sam's business for 38 long years. He was born in old Kentucky but started with Uncle Sam in Texas, serv- ing in the rough and ready capacity of a deputy United States marshal for five years. He then transferred to the Treasury Department as a_deputy in- ternal revenue collector at Fort Worth, ‘Tex., but later got back into law en- forcement when he was appointed gen- eral prohibition agent in 1921. Rise Has Been Rapid. From then on McCampbell's rise in the ranks has been rapid, and his ex- perience led him into New York State itself. He was appointed assistant director of prohibition for the State of New York in 1923 and shortly after was made assistant divisional chief in charge of general prohibition agents in the State. Shifted to the West in 1925, McCamp- bell took over prohibition enforcement as administrator for the States of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. He was jumped back to New York in 1926, as deputy prohibition administrator at Al- bany, and in June, 1927, he was made prohibition administrator for Northern and Western New York, with head- quarters at Buffalo. His last promotion brought him to STORAGE TANKS TANKS STORAGE s i i e s s s it B i i i i s & o) N D, The “compromise plan” of the Sun Ol Co. for the treatment of the prop- erty that they to hase for the erection of an oil plant in Rosslyn is published at the request of the com- pany because the original map published by The Star did not show el the parkway dedication or restricted areas. The Star is glad to publish the com- promise plan. ‘The parkway dedication would be 160 feet in width and would be bordered on the river side by a restricted area 160 feet in width and on the hill side by another restricted area of varying widths. The plans show that no trees | would be cut on the restricted areas, nor | . would any tanks be erected. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital, explains that residents of County are opposed to the compromise plan on the ground that they do not want any kind of an oil tank develop- ment on the bank of the Potomac. tivities of men operating thioughout the country. In his modest office not tar from the private office of the prohibition com- missioner, Dr. James M. Dorxn, “Andy” McCampbell directed the wurk which brought him to such favorable atten- tion that when the administration de- cided to make its big change and shift the responsibility for enforccment to the Department of Justice, it placed its hand on him and picked him for a “hot spot.” So McCampbell goes to New York, not only with the long experience of a vet- eran of the service, but with the glinu of opportunity and adventure in his eye—to do what he can in what he knows to be a wet corner, to enforce | the liquor laws of the land.
