Prohibition Bureau Plan Heads to Congress
Los Angeles and Washington reports outline proposals to establish a Bureau of Prohibition within the Treasury under Secretary Mellon. The bureau would be under his direct control, with a prohibition commission reporting to him, while some favor keeping enforcement in the Treasury but led by a separate bureau. The issue traces to years of Treasury realignments and debates over Internal Revenue enforcement structures.
