Salisbury—While there has been no intimation from Washington regarding the changes that will be put into effect when the two branches of the prohibition enforcement agents are consolidated with headquarters in Atlanta, there is considerable anxiety expressed in Salisbury that both the forces of Ben Sharpe, state director, will be moved or cut to a handful.
Sharpe, in the opinion of several people closely connected with the organization, is slated to have charge of the new division with headquarters in Atlanta.
A move has been made recently to get larger quarters in Salisbury. This move would indicate that the offices were to remain in Salisbury. However, it is understood that facilities were not available.
Whatever changes are contemplated is likely to provide for North Carolina headquarters and as Salisbury is centrally located, it will probably remain here, but it may mean a material reduction in the number of men employed.
