States Must Help if Prohibition Is to Be Enforced Federal Government Can Not Play Role of Policemen for 48 Commonwealths, Declares Mrs. Willebrandt. '!■ thie article Mr*. Willebrandt states frankly bow a state can nullify the efforts of tbe federal sorer. nent by filling to co-operate In enforcement, pointing out that tbe creation of “super-bureaus and mobilizing whole armies of federal agents is useless unless the local officials lend a hand.) BY MABEL WALKER WILLEBRANDT iCopyright, 1929, by Current News Features, Inc. AII rights for publication reserved throughout the world.) A FORMER prohibition administrator of New York City, R. Q. Merrick, now prohibition administrator of Virginia. South Carolina, and North Carolina, said in his Durant contest essay that he could put an end to the liquor traffic in his district if he had five times his present force of eighty men. His district embraces 246 counties in three states, and Mr. Merrick said that his force of eighty men could only “scratch the surface.’’ But Mr. Merrick is wrong in thinking that 400 men or 4,000 men sent to his district from Washington could stop the liquor traffic, if cooperation were withheld or obstructive tactics used by state officers and state courts. The people of America—l agree with the anti-prohibitionists on this —do not want and will not permit an army of officers of the federal government to enforce law and order in local communities. Nothing is more contrary or repugnant to the basic principle of our form of government. The job of the federal government in enforcing prohibition is to supplement the work of the state. But where the state authorities are inactive, or, worse still, obstructive, the work of the. federal government is nullified.
For instance, a few years ago the attention of the department of justice was sought by interested citizens because information had come to them that the New Jersey state police had seized fifty-five men and a half-million dollars’ worth of liquor in that state, the men released by city magistrates on inconsequential bonds of SSOO or less subsequently disappearing from sight. Can’t Police 48 States The federal government simply can not be the policeman for fortyeight states, and prohibition will not and never can be enforced that way. In New York state, where the legislature during the administration of Governor Smith repealed the state liquo: enforcement laws, leaving the job solely to the federal government, there are between 2,000 and 3,000 state police, and there are more than 16,000 city police; there are 113 supreme court state judges and 62 county prosecutors. All these agencies might be enlisted to reduce the crime and lawlessness that flow from disregard of the prohibition law, but they are now and have been inactive as to prohibition, since New York state repealed its own enforcement act. Certainly a few hundred federal agents and nineteen federal judges, with four United States attorneys, can not hope to enforce the prohibition law with any great degree of success, in a state containing about oue-tenth of the nation’s population, with practically no help from the sheriffs, the policemen, the state prosecuting officers, or the state courts. New York Wringing W’et The metropolitan newspapers, therefore, are entirely correct and truthful in telling their readers of the “wringing wetness’’ of New York, and other states which have dodged enforcement responsibility, such as Maryland, Montana, Wisconsin, Nevada, and New Jersey. But they are all wrong in editorially using the facts about witness to prove that “prohibition is unenforceable.’’ I do not deny that there is bootlegging on a vast scale in New York City and New York state. But the responsibility is not solely that of the President of the United States nor of the attorney-general. It is the responsibility of the people of New York. They get just the same kind of prohibition enforcement that they get of state law enforcement, No one blames the federal government for the lack of enforcement in New York of the penalties against murder. Yet notorious gamblers, not subject to federal jurisdiction, are shot down from time to time, and the murderers go unpunished. And the number of murders exceeds those of all England. There is graft in the sale of intoxicating liquor, prohibited by federal law—and there likewise is graft in the letting of contracts for sew:rs. authorized under state laws. Cites Night Club Trial The celebrated night club hostess who joked with the judge and the jury and tried to make her trial into a vaudeville show was not any more contemptuous of the authority of the United States government than she was of the people of New York state and New York City. Because the New York newspapers have been giving so much publicity to the “wetness’’ of the city and state, the situation there has come to be regarded by many honest, lawabiding people as proof of the unenforceability of the prohibition law. But let’s see what the situation in New York was long before any one even seriously thought that there might sometime be a national law against the sale of intoxicating liquor. Let’s use as a witness a man whose truthfulness and credibility never were questioned. In other words, let us see what Theodore Roosevelt said about the New York iiquor situation in 1895. years before adoption of the eighteenth amendment. He said: All our cities have been shamefully misgoverned in times past, and in New York the misgovemment has been perhaps more flagrant than anywhere else. The most wealthy saloon keepers have so much influence with

the city officials that the police have not dared to interfere with them. The politician has been continuously more corrupt and the saloon keeper more defiant of law. Thousands of arrests were made every year, but the worst offender, the big man with the pull, never was arrested, while the man of small means was prosecuted without mercy. The city authorities, notably the police magistrates, the police department, and the district attorney’s toffice, were in league and the saloon keeper alternately profited and suffered by their willingness that he should violate the law. Couldn’t the same general statement be made about liquor conditions now under the eighteenth amendment in New York state, and, that being so, can it be said truthfully that the prohibition law is any more unenforceable than state laws? Now let’s turn to the other side of the picture and see what can be done when state and local communties do what the eighteenth amendment of the United States Constitution contemplates: Exercise eheir concurrent authority to enforce. In the state of Kansas, which had an effective law of its own for prohibition enforcement long before the eighteenth amendment was adopted, the federal government has had comparatively little to do since enactement of the Volstead law. In one year, for instance, we had to handle only twelve liquor cases in the federal courts of Kansas. But they were important cases, and the government won all twelve of them. The cases instituted in Kansas range from few or none some years to nineteen, which is the highest number, in 1928. Contrast this with the situation in New York state, where the federal government has been obliged to prosecute from 600 to 1,000 cases a month, and then only scratches the surface. It is not the difference in the size of the two states that counts; it is the difference in the attitude of the local enforcement authorities, largely influenced by the press. The situation, in this aspect, is the same in Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York as in hundreds of small towns and cities. In some of the smaller towns In the country, we have found evidence of virtual “licensing” of bootleg establishments by local authorities. The practice at Silverton, Colo., in the mining district, for instance, was to regularly fine those who operated what amounted to open saloons, the fines being used for municipal purposes instead of raising tax rates on the property of the lawabiding citizen! As long as fines were paid regularly, the bootlegging establishments were allowed to continue operation without any interference by the local, municipal authorities. I have from time to time—many times—urged that United States attorneys, marshals, and key men in charge of investigative agencies be called to Washington for zone conferences, at whi Na definite policy of approach to state and local officials could be worked out. After that, each of the federal men should go back to his respective district and take the initiative in approaching governors, state attorneys general, mayors, chiefs of police, and try to work out a scheme of co-ordination and exchange of ! information where authorities overlap. Works Both Ways This will enable the federal government to turn back to the state the responsibilities for prosecution of many minor offenses that now congest federal dockets. On the other hand, the state could and should call upon and receive help : from the federal government in dealing with criminals where their j operations are of extended or politically intrenched nature, j Such co-operation can be secured even in states considered “wet.” The arm of the federal government is long and strong, but it needs to be re-enforced apd aided by the j numerous arms of the state and municipal government. With all those Sarins of the law reaching for the lawless, the bootlegger's chance of escape would be slight indeed, j • It would be comparatively easy by systematic appeal to obtain local and state co-operation, and would yield rich returns in reduction of ! lawlessness. (In her next installment Mrs. Willebrandt will tell the story of the battle with Rum Raw.)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
HOT AND SILLY IS ‘SINGLE STANDARD' * Greta Garbo Tries to Do an Iris March, Although She Does Not Even Wear a Green Hat at All. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN MY verdict of “The Single Standard” with Greta Garbo, is hot and silly. It has sound effects but the actors do not talk and I believe that if Greta talked some of her words in the hot love scenes, well they probably could not be spoken. Arden Stuart is one of those dames who does not have to work for her living. She is one of those hot-hqpse panther types and she believes that if men can be naughty, then she can frolic also.
Arden as “The Single Standard” reminds one a bit of Iris March in “The Green Hat.” There may be some reason for Iris existing on the printed page and for a season on the stage, but I can’t see much ex-
cuse for Arden. Arden began planning whoopee with the good-looking chauffeur and she sends him to his death. Arden then goes casting about for another playmate or something. But I was sure all the time that no good would come of the excursion. So she comes into the life of Packy Cannon, a former prize fighter and
\, > vj
Greta Garbo
sailor, who turns artist and attracts wealthy and good-looking women to his studio. Arden and Packy do seme hot love making, the variety which always makes the person in the box office smile broadly when the cash is counted. Then Arden and Packy thumb their noses at society and they take a cruise alone on a yacht. Some of the scenes on the yacht remind me that all was needed was a tiger skin to make another “Three Weeks.” The two kiss, love, kiss and love and then the artist, after a time, decides that Arden is making a bum out of him, as he has done no painting for months. So they have a dreadful parting, clinch and all.
Arden goes back to her home town and society accepts her as an interesting exhibit to have about because she is not rbarried. Then a good boy, simple but good, marries Arden and a child is born. In the meantime, Packy bpcomes a terrible bum because he could not work without his Arden. He tells you in in subtitle that he just must have her lips and arms to do any work. So he trots back to Arden. He learns that she is married. She wants to go bye-bye again with Packy, but society says, “You are married and a mother.” So she packs Packy away alone and she remains behind with her real hubby and'baby. At times the story gets so terribly sappy and melodramatic that it becomes ridiculous, especially when hubby is planning to kill himself, accidentally like, so his wife may be free to go yachting again with Packy. But Arden becomes a good gal. And still I do not know whether Packy ever painted another canvas. Miss Garbo struts her sex stuff ail over the lot, does a heap of alleged emotional posing, puts on one hot love scene after another and attefnpts to make Arden interesting if not intelligent. We have another word for such dames as Arden. Nils Asther is Packy, the hot painter, and John,Mack Brown is the good lad who marries Arden. Photography is often beautiful. Not even great acting could ever lift the standard of this story to the heavens.
But don’t fool yourself—“ The Single Standard” will be a box office riot. Just that and nothing more. Now at Loew’s Palace.
COLLEEN IS PURE AND HAPPY THIS TIME A character maybe can be either toe good or too bad. That was my thought when seeing Colleen Moore in “Smiling Irish Eyes.” Miss Moore had to talk and it must have been some job to get her
to do it because she seems to be conscious that she must talk and attempt to act at the same time. She works overtime in this movie her innocent baby stare. Colleen’s fortune rests in her eyes but her future seems to me to be endangered by her voice. She attempts to sing. She makes her Irish girl one of
Colleen Moore
those lose sick dames who would drive any man out of Ireland to America. This colleen is so good and so simple that she certainly should be kept on ice. They cause Colleen to burst forth in song even with orchestral background when she is playing with a baby pig in a barn yard or field. These musical pictures now days seem to have music about in the cornfield, the ocean or the pig pen. Oh, dear. So you see that the director had to do a lot of padding to spread this simple and foolish little yarn over a number of reels. James Hall plays his fiddle and does some singin’. He is the lad who Is:.ves Ireland to make his fortune writing and singing songs. He, does it when he sells a song, “Smiling Irish Eyes,” which he composed in Ireland. When Colleen comes to America to bring him back to Ireland she misunderstands how an actor can make love to an actress on the stage and really love another girl in real life. When the story gets too simple and some of the older characters act like children, the director tacks on an Irish jig, a loving closeup and the play is over. Now on view at the Circle. LOOKING OVER EVENTS AT INDIANA Jack Mulhall made love in many a film to Dorothy Mackaill. It is the job of Charles Delaney to do the same thing in “Hard to Get.” The question is—is Charles as good at the job as Jack? And that
is a very serious problem because the public now days does not like to have a a couple separated on the screen. Often it has not been wise to separate such a combination, 1i f t ing them both to the rank of stars. It may be all right for the stars financially but the public does not -like to see
Dorothy Mackaill
their favorites separated. It is my opinion that Jack has mdre personality than Delaney. Not so much love making for Delaney but he has an opportunity to wisecrack. This is an all .talker. This story made us think of Corinne Griffith in “Classified.” We found “Hard To Get” to be a merry little farce with Louise Fazenda as the mother. She plays a different sort of a role than she does in “On With The Show.” Jack Oakie as the brother does a good piece of work, especially when he is quarreling with his sister. “Hard to. Get” is light entertainment but mighty good. We will have to see Dorothy and Delaney in more love scenes before we can say if he is as good as Mulhall. Charlie Davis, during the stage presentation, “Circus Cabaret,” plays a mighty hot arrangement of “Wabash Blues.” His orchestra also plays one of the songs from “Cocoanuts.” Charlie and his band are really hot this week and that is what the people like. The skaters in this act are good. Numerous others round out the show. The chorus is good, especially the trapeze work. Now at the Indiana.—(By observer.) “On With the Show” is in its second week at the Apollo. This one has been previously reviewed in this department. Mighty good theater and timeful, too. Other theaters today offer; “Noah’s Ark” at the Ohio, “Hollywood Scandals” at the Colonial and William Desmond at the Lyric.

DISCOVERIES ON LIFE MYSTERIES TO JIEJARED Many Questions Lie Before World Conclave of Physiologists. BY DR. FRANK THONE Science Service Staff Writer BOSTON, Aug. 19.—What happens when a man dies? Can old age really be staved off by transplanted glands? How is food-fuel changed into work in the laboring muscles of an athlete? Is there any possible substitute for the expensive and troublesome insulin treatment of diabetes? Is iodine good for goiter in cows as well as in human beings? These questions and a host of similar ones lie before the thirteenth International physiological congress, to which scientists from all the continents of the earth are assembling here today. Their efforts to answer them will occupy them the rest of this week. Foreign physiologists are being given a taste of American campus life by being housed in the Harvard university dormitories at Cambridge and in the homes of the Harvard faculty. The scientific sessions will be held in the Harvard medical school in Boston. Tonight the congress goes for-’ mally into action with an address on “the Progress of Physiology” by Professor August Krogh of the University of Copenhagen. This will be preceded by brief addresses of welcome by Surgeon-General Hugh S, Cummins of the United States public health service. Hon William S. , Youngman, Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts; President Lawrence’ Lowell of Harvard university, and' by Professor Wiliam H. Howell, who' Is president of the congress. The present congress is the thirteenth of its kind, and the first to be held in the United States. With the exception of a break caused by the World war, these meetings havebeen held at three years’ intervalsin various European cities. Among the many noted men present there are several who have been honored with the coveted Nobel prize. A dominating figure is Professor Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, who, as long ago as 1904, received the Nobel award for his researches on the sftlaviry glands. Even before that time he had made himself famous for his researches on the nerves of the heart. < Today, at the age of 80, he still is engaged in strenuous investigations. His contribution, which will be presented Friday, will be a description of his latest researches on the inhibition of activities of the front part of the brain—that part which is commonly credited with being the “reasoning organ.” City Stations WFBM (1230) (Indianapolis Power and Light Company) —Monday— P 4:?s—Jim and Walt. 4:30 —Duke Ellington's Cotton Club band (C3S). 5:00 —An Announcer’s Life (CBS). s:3o—Vincent Lopez orchestra (CBS). 6:oo—Grand Opera Concert (CBSi. 6:3o—Columbia Club dinner ensemble. 7:00 —George Irish arid WFBM orchestra. 7:3o—United States Navy band iCBSL 8:00—Salon orchestra.
