Prohibition Debate Shifts as Law Enforcers Mooted
Senate discussion centers on enforcing the Volstead Act and potential amendments. Representative Lehrbach claims 99 percent of liquor offenses qualify as felonies under the Jones law while Senator Jones supports strengthening the act rather than modifying it. President Hoover is urged to push enforcement as Arkansas Senator Caraway argues the dry law can and will be enforced. Major General Smedley Butler is proposed as prohibition commissioner to aid enforcement, while the House committee approves transfer measures giving the attorney general sole authority over the prohibition bureau and regulating industrial alcohol withdrawals.
