3 MORE DRYS FLAY
PROHIBITION HEADS
Borah, Brookhart and Norris
Join in New Attack on En
*
, forcement Method.
By the Associated Press.
Three more “dry” memtrrs of the
Senate have spoken their mind con
cerning present prohibition enforcement
conditions.
Borah of Idaho, Norris of Nebraska
and Brookhart of lowa, all Republicans,
allied with the independent faction,
have entered the current controversy
with expressions of dissatisfaction with
existing enforcement agencies.
Borah, who was President Hoover’s
most prominent campaigner on the pro
hibition issue, late yesterday assailed
the entire personnel charged with mak
ing the Volstead act effective, and as
serted that as now constituted it would
never enforce the law.
Norris Cites Political Power.
Norris, who supported Gov. Smith In
the presidential campaign, declared that
efforts to suppress the alcohol traffic
have never been made in good faith in
numerous sections of the country. En
forcement officers, he said, have many
times overlooked cases of men with
political influence making fortunes
through traffic In Illicit liquor.
Brookhart came to the support of Sen
ator Harris of Georgia, in the latter's
demand for the removal of Judge Paul
J. McCormick from President Hoover’s
law enforcement commission. Referring
to McCormick’s assertion that search of
private homes without warrants was an
outstanding evil of present enforcement
activities, Brookhart expressed im
patience "with making the Government
the criminal in enforcing the law and
many heroes out of bootleggers.”
Want Crime Report.
The present controversy was aroused
by expressions of dissatisfaction with
the policy of secrecy maintained by the
Crime Commission and demands for a
report from the group before any more
funds are appropriated for its upkeep.
Harris is the author of a resolution
asking President Hoover to procure such
a report and transmit it to Congress.
In this he is supported by Glass of Vir
ginia, a Democrat, although the latter
does not share his views regarding
Judge McCormick.
Borah's statement dealt with the pro
posed report and he said that “the com
mission will not tell us anything we do
not know, either as to law or as to the
facts.” He added that even should a
report be forthcoming, “we will still be
back to the one proposition, and that is
that with the present personnel noth
ing will be accomplished.”
