Doran Recognizes -
Strong Sentiment
Against Dry Laws
WASHINGTON —(AP)— Pub
lic opinion was described today by
Prohibition Commissioner Doran
as the deterrent to that complete
enforeement of the dry laws which
would cooperate with the federal
authorities. ; .
In a monograph contending that
the states and the federal govern
ment had concurrent obligations to
enforce prohibition, Doran said
that in states where there was lax
ccoperation “unwholesome influ
ences are at work to prevent en
forcement.”
In New York City, Doran said,
there was close connection be
tween the law breakers and the
police and a tendency of “city of
ficials to hamper federal enforce
ment officers in many obscure
ways.” e e
