Blteratlng charges that the enforce ment personnel Included many dishon est men and women, sotnn with criminal records, the report urges support of a bill before Congress requiring that all drv agents be placed under civil serv ice regulation and subjected to the cus tomary examinations. It also takes sharp issue with provisions in the meas ure Insisted upon by the Anti-Saloon League which would permit appoint ment of persons without previous ex perience in criminal Investigation. Tho onti-snlooii organization, the report nllegcs, "prefers to let these places continue as political spoils ruther than agree to the normal method of provMing for their competithc classi fication under the dill service law." 1'ntll the latter method is undertaken, it coutinues, the enforcement of the prohibition law will not be freed from the odium in which it is now held. The league's long opposition to the system of appointing postmasters, "which retains in office permanently or until removed on tharges purely political uppointees, is nee jonn iu the report, which proposes un open competitive examination for such in cumbents in order to continue in office. These views, tho report asserts, have been concurred In by the President anil the attorney general.
