BAR WILL ASSIST
 HOOVER WITH LAW
Association Votes to Aid PreSi-
 dent in Fight Today

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 23 UP)- The full resources of the Am ericaT Bar association were pledged tC President Hoover in "grappling with the alarming disobedience of law the abuses of law enforcement and the growth of organized crime,' by Gurney E. Newlin, president. in his address before the sgd annual con. vention here today.
 ''The American Bar association and members thereof are to the limit of their resources and ability ready, willing and anxious to give every aid and assistance in stem ming this great tide, of crime, which has come to rank as the foremost problem of our nation," Newlin said
 Approximately 4,000 members the largest number ever to attend a national convention of the associa- ton, heard Newlins vigorous plea for reinforcement of law through lawful methods"
 "No law, however just, can justify laWless enforcement" Newlin said 'The resort to lawlessness in en- forcing or seeking to enforce the law is more than casual; in fact il tends to be habitual. The question reaches the deep foundation of the law upon which the republic is built-salus populi suprcma lex.
 Tt is a tradition of justice that the use of torture in obtaining con- fessions is contrary to law and can not be tolerated in a free common wealth."
 "The raiding of homes without warrants is a direct violation of the law originating in the Magma Charta and reaffirmed in the constitution" " Newlin said in referring to the re- cent ruling of an Iowa court permit ting state dry agents to search homes without a warrant and the subsequent upholding of this ruling by the U. s. supreme court.
 Tn referring to lawless enforce ment of the law, I do not have in mind any particular law or statute. The methods used are not confined to the arrest of persons or the un- warranted invasion of homes the un- warranted shooting of suspected law violators, or the so-called third de- gree methods. They cover, rather, the entire field of law enforcement" |" NeWlin said.
 "This bar association pledges to work toward the end that all laws may be placed on a parity and one law may not be sacrificed or violat- ed for the purpose of enforcing an- other.
 There is no greater incentive to lawlessness than for the government, in the enforcement of one law, to violate another. The obligation to protect the public against the unlaw- full enforcement of the law is upon the organized bar"
