LIQUOR SMUGGLING BIGGEST PROBLEM (Continued from First Page) think is quite favorable, and it has relieved the industrial trade to a large extent of the odium of being responsible in their trades for a large diversion of industrial al- cohol.” . The breaking down of illicit dis- tilling from large to small plants. the commissioner said, had increas- cd the need of cooperation in en- forcement from local officials. This has been forthcoming in some sec- tions, he added, but in others there had been not only passive but “ac- tive and heavy” opposition, Asked by Representative Wood. chairman of the sub-committee, to elaborate on this point, Dr. Doran said his force had “no cooperation in the state of | Maryland other than the sheriffs of | some of the counties where they have local option laws. Little Cooperation As for New York, he said cooper- ation was given only to the extent that state troopers upstate make cases and turn them over to already courts, and through a great many minor cases turned in by New York city police | which have to be taken care of on “bargain days in United States courts and disposed of on pleas of guilty with fines of $10 and $15." Philadelphia Situation Reference also was made to the Philadelphia situati where Doran said there had been “not only a lack | of active cooperation, but a very bad situation in the police department.” “That is being developed now,” he sald, “and that, of course, made it very difficult to ever really clean the town up; when you have a collusive condition between various police captaing in charge of precincts and the violators in those precincts. Chicago, Doran testified, was brightening up a little bit,” as far as federal enforcement s concerned, but he said "a great deal could be done there yet.” Up to last spring, he. continued, there was practically no cooperation from Chicago police. Asked by Representatjve Bacon, republican, New York, the reason ! for the recent restaurant raids in New York city, Dr. Doran said the cause was that they were “violating the law openly and brazenly, and it very great public comment, not only in New York but on the part of those who visited that city. The commis- sioner later corrected his statement, saying he did not wish to say the | restaurants were “actually violating the law until the jury said so."” More Help The commissioner said he was! getting more help from the present administration in Detroit than from the previous one; that in 8t. Louts there was not much activity on the part of city and county authorities to close up speakeasies. The prob lem in Florida, he said, was “smul gling and a kind of everglade distill- ing problem,” with the fermer a “winter proposition.” The situation in San Francisco, questioning developed, was in Dr. Doran's opinion about the same as in other large cities. “We have fair cooggration from the police departmen! Doran said. “However, it is a serious problem.™ Dr. Doran said he believes that while the new law requiring dry officers and agents to stand ctvm service examination will work out satisfactorily in the end, such u merit system “per se does not pur- chase honesty” and some hired un- der it have had to be discharged. He said that of 30,000 who stood service examination only about 3,500 passed. This, he said, was due to the listing of ques- tions wholly inapplicable to the pro- hibition service; questions which Chairman Wood of the sub-commit- tee safd had “just as much applica- tion to an effective prohibition en- forcement agent as the devil h-s to be viceroy of Heaven.” Dr. Doran added that a second ex- amination making a six months’ in- vestigational experience a prerequi- site rather than a written intelli- gence test was more satisfactory and that between six and seven thousan had applied fo take it.
