WOMAN WILL AID
LAW COMMISSION
Miss Van KIeeck Named to
Probe Effect of Employ
ment on Crime.

President Hoovers Commission of
Law Observance and Enforcement has
called Miss Mary van Kleeck, director
of industrial studies for the Russell
Sage Foundation, to investigate the
regularity of employment and the re-
lations of inadequate housing to the
increase of crime in large communities.
In announcing the selection of Miss
van Kleeck as an expert assistant to the
subcommittee on causes of crime, the
commission said should the facts
brought out by this investigation prove
the contentious now advanced as to the
connection between crime and housing
congestion, there doubtless would be
great speeding up of the various pro-
grams for housing construction on
large scale in a number of cities"
Miss van Kleeck's experience in the
investigation of regularity in employ
ment especially equips her to make an
effective study of the results of full and
regular employment in the reducing of
crime" the commission said, las well
as in the reducing of human and ma
terial waste resulting from crime" She
was a member of the Presidents con-
ference on unemployment in 1921 and
thereafter served as a member of the
commission on unemployment and bust
ness cycles. During the World War
she was director of woman's branch
of the industrial service section of the
Ordnance Department, U. S. Army.
= Commenting on the appointment
Chairman Wickersham said that Miss
van Kleek is the eleventh of the con-
sultants in charge of research chosen
by the commission.
