New Plan for Distributing Liquor Up in Washington
William H. Stayton of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment testified before the Senate Lobby Committee that four Hoover era law enforcement figures discussed an alternate liquor distribution plan. He named Judge Kenyon, Dean Pound, Col. Anderson, and a fourth unidentified member, saying cabinet officers implied the Prohibition law was failing. Cabinet secretaries denied Stayton's account, with Navy Secretary Adams and Commerce Secretary Lamont scheduling no such discussion. Col Henry Anderson of the Hoover Law Enforcement Commission said no new plan was being considered for liquor distribution.
