SENATOR ALLEN
SEEKS TO KEEP
PARTY IN line
Makes Peace Overture To
Check Actions OF Junior
Insurgents.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.U.R)-
In an effort to hold the new guard
movement of young senate Republi-
cans within bounds, Senator Allen Of
Kansas, friend of President Hoover
and his publicity director in the last
campaign, will hold dinner rally
fcI members at his home while the
senate is recessing from $3.50 to 1880
p. m. today.
The rally was promoted to keep
the young Republican senators di-
rectec toward saving what they can
from the tariff bill mixup, diverting
their attention from the threat of
some of their leaders to overthrow
the entire old guard leadership of
the senate with one swoop.
In making public his dinner guest
list, Allen made it clear he considers
the group as "Hoover regulars" ready
to carry out the Presidents wishes
rather than young turks" seeking
scalps of the old guard leaders.
1--WE are a group of fellows helping
the Republican party and the admin
istration by getting the tariff bill
III the best shape possible" Allen
said. 1--WE are simply getting togeth-
er for the purpose of passing a tariff
bill in reasonable time.
Others in the group have been dis
seminating the information that they
are dissatisfied with the way the
tariff fight has been handled under
the old guard leadership. including
Republican Floor leader Watson,
now resting in Florida.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. U.P)-
Rounding out its first six months
President Hoover's law enforcement
commission has been barely able to
scratch the surface of a huge task
which some of its members are now
convinced will require years.
Today the commission announced
the appointment of Amos w. Wood
cock, u. S. district attorney in Mary
land, to assist in certain phases of
prohibition enforcement. He is one
of numerous staff of experts which
the commission is assembling. Many
others are yet to be selected before
the commission is really ready to
begin its work.
Some differences have arisen be.
tween members who wish to drop
everything else and rush through
with series of public hearings on
prohibition, and other members who
wish to proceed slowly and thorough
ly into every aspect of the crime
problem of which they consider pro.
hibition to be only one phase.
Strong efforts are being made by
some members to prevent prohibition
from monopolizing the attention of
the commission as is insisted upon
by others, the United Press learns.
The commission has discovered
there is almost no scientific data on
crime. Though there have been nu.
merous crime commissions set up,
including national body, they have
gathered material of only incidental
value to the Presidents group. The
result is that the commission is com

Patients At University Of
California In Danger
From Explosion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1s. U.P)
-IIeroism on the part of l20 nurses
who quieted frantic patients and
carried them to safety prevented a
horrible disaster here today after a
fire swept through the University
of California hospital.
The flames started as a result of
an explosion in an Eray room and
for a time it looked as though many
Of the sick and injured would lose
their lives.
Rescue workers concentrated on
clearing patients froh the hospital
while firemen strovc TO eXtinguish
the flames.
In the gray hours of early morn
ing success finally greeted the ef-
forts of both nurses and firemen.
Every patient was carried to a hill
in the rear of the building and short
ly thereafter the flames were con-
trolled.
Damage is estimated at $250,000.
No one was seriously injured.
But before the flames were con-
trolled there Were many terror filled
moments with the nurses striving
earnestly to prevent panic and in
this they were successful.
That no one was burned to death
is because of the excellent work of
the muses., directed by Miss Kath-
leen Fores, superintendent of nurses,
Charles Brennan, fire chief, told the
United Press.
The hospital building is five
stories high with the X-ray room on
the third floor. After the explosion
the flames swept up, reaching the

WRECK SUSPECT
QUESTIONED BY
COAST OFFICERS

G. l.. Lester, held here in the
county jail on suspicion of being the
bandit who held up the wrecked
west coast limited passenger tram
near Saugus week ago Sunday
night, was grilled by deputies from
the Los Angeles shcriff's office to-
day. With him was X. Wade, the
70 year old youth who has been iii
the company Of Lester for the past
two months.

end in question We're gone into
thoroughly, especially his where
abouts on Sunday and Monday, No
vcmher 10 and II. His statement
that he had eaten in Il Fifth street
restaurant that noon and evening
as we'll as the following morning
was investigated and found 20 be
Substantially correct.
Wade, who had worked with Les
ter at the corral near the 10 al
stockyardS, when questioned later,
stated that he had seen Lester at
that place during Sunday afternoon
and the following morning, but was
not certain about his whereabouts
that night. The men had been
working in FL Centre at that time
and later moved to Calipatria where
they were apprehended yesterday.
Lester denies that he was absent
from this city the week end the
wreck and robbery occurred, also
that he had ridden in any automo-
bile at any time during the past
month.
The investigation of the two men
is being continued this afternoon.

LAW ENFORCEMENT BODY
MEETS MANY OBSTACLES

PEELED to start almost from scratch.
For instance, the commission finds
that such an elementary fact as the
number of jails in the country is un-
known. There are no maps showing
all the roads leading into the Unit
ed States from Canada and Mexico
knowledge which is vital to effect
i've suppression of liquor smuggling.
There is no accurate information as
to what effect prohibition has had
on the Monday work day; the effect
of poverty and unemployment on
crime. The commission has found
that it may have to go into the lab
orious process of training experts for
some studies.
These discoveries had caused some
Encouragement especially to those
who do not wish to be swept off
their feet by the pressure for spec
taeular public hearings on prohibi-
ton.
Some members hope the commits
sion will be allowed to proceed in u
thorough investigation which may
take years but which in the end,
they believe, would prove of lasting
service.
Public hearings are contemplated
but 1t is the hope now that these will
be held only as special subjects are
thoroughly canvassed so that wit
neSses would be called to bring facts
OF genuine value rather than of
chiefly sensational nature.
One of the big subjects upon which
investigation has started is the "rae.
heteer" who eXtorts millions from
business men and others who fear
personal or property injury if they
do not pay.
