New York, June 17. Creation of a separate and distinct prohibition enforcement unit in each State with a state director at its head forms the basis of the reorganization of the prohibition enforcement organization worked out by prohibition Commis sioned Blair and prohibition Director Haynes. The present administration districts comprising several states will be abolished. The plan laid before Chairman Penrose and Senator Watson who ap proved it and will put it into force soon. Coordination of administrative work was the aim it was explained. According to Mr. Haynes estimates submitted to the department show $150,000 would be saved immediate ly by the reorganization. Senators to whom the plan was submitted said the reorganization would tighten up enforcement of the prohibition laws. An innovation would be the establishment of a "mo bile force of specially qualified agents" to operate under the imme diate director of Director Haynes but the whole plan centers on the reten tion by the treasury of jurisdiction over prohibition. Mr. Haynes' report said it had been clearly "demonstrated after a thor ough trial the present plan should be abandoned."
