POLICE AUTHORITY
DEFENDS LINDSEY
CHIEF IOLLMER OF BERKELEY
PROTESTS AGAINST JUDGE
SERVING SENTENCE
OBJECTS TO RECANTING
Breaking Faith With Children
Would Overthrow Past Work in
Juvenile Reconstruction

BERKELEY. Cal, Feb. 4. Omitted
Press August a. Vollmer, Berke-
ley's scientific police chief, lecturer
at the University of California and
nationally known authority on crim-
inal psychology, today came to the
defense of Judge Lindsey of Denver.
"If Judge Lindsey is allowed to be
sent to prison by stupid jurists who
have shown themselves untitled for
their positions as judges by sentenc-
ing him to prison Tor refusing TO
divulge what was given him in con-
fidence as a man, '.aVollmer declared,
then our whole judicial scheme is
wrong for we are penalizing Judge
Lindsey for intoxicating highest ideals
into the child delinquent"
Vollmer Scientific Policeman.
Vollmer occupies in the world OF
cops" much the same position as
does Lindsey in the juvenile courts.
He has substituted at Berkeley the
scientifically trained officer for the
"stroug-arm bruiser"
For Judge Lindsey to recant now
would mean that the faith Young
America has in him would be. de-
stroyed, according to vollmer.
"And this would overthrow not
only Judge Lindsey's own past work
in Juvenile reconstruction but would
hamper all those who have to deal
with child delinquents," he added.
I'm spite Of the ideas of grownups,
the truth is that the child is the
quickest to catch the note of in
sincerity and quickly reacts in MINI
licking the example. When the faith
of a child is shaken the foundation
Of all modern society is weakened.
Lindsey is Constructive.
Judge Lindsey epitomizes all that
| is constructive in the building of
high class citizens out Of children
who. through environment or natural
disposition. have drifted into the
criminal courts. 1t was Judge Lind.
!, sey who through his practical work
with the child criminal that gave the
impetus to the vision in the study of
child psychology throughout the
world and semitic men will oppose
undoubtedly the decision Of the
courts.
"And, in the vernacular of the
Briggs kid. when q Fellow Needs
a Friend" Judge Lindsey will not
be forsaken by the boy life Of the
nation"

BY a. l.. Bradford

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 The
limited States must continue the
building of battleships until it has

general board of the navy declared
in a special report to Secretary Dan
iels. 1t would be the height Of

as having replaced the battleship as
the most powerful engine Of naval
warfare, the board says.
No "rest period or Limitation of

port.

The general board takes direct is

belief that the "battleship Is dead"
The board quoted the following
statement by the first lord of the
British admiralty In submitting the
naval estimates OF 192O-1921 to par
lament:
"The immediate abandonment Of
the capital ship in favor Of visionary

BERLIN. Feb. 4.-Germany was
desperate today. With all classes
opposed to paying the $4,000, 900

have not been since the early days
of the war, the nation was ready to
take reckless action.
Under consideration were plans
for:
An alliance with the Russian So
viets.
A throwing up of hands, bidding
the allies to do what they will.
A strong effort to convince the
allies that the reparations demanded
will wreck the country. thereby
damaging the allies.
The allied demand formed Ger
