Transfer of Prohibition Enforcement Shifts to Justice Dept
Washington June 30 AP the justice department will assume control of the prohibition bureau from the treasury tonight under President Hoover's plan. Attorney General Mitchell will head the dry forces with Assistant Attorney General Youngquist and Woodcock as director and Jones as assistant director. Mitchell calls for state cooperation to secure higher law observance through federal and state efforts. Under the change the treasury will lose liquor enforcement but retain industrial alcohol licensing, while the justice department gains equal authority over industrial alcohol issuance and use.

Western states seek surface rights amid federal land control
Governor Emerson, representing 11 western states, argues that 228 million acres of federal land remain in the region with many lands withdrawn for classification. He notes that patenting mineral claims is blocked, with land managed by leases under a federal trusteeship he says is not promised for western states. He calls parity with other states distant and criticizes Hoover’s proposal to turn over surface rights only, excluding mineral rights.
