MAKES
GOVERNMENT PLEA
Better Understanding Urged
in Radio Address Over
Station WRC.

A plea for Q sympathetic under
standing Of all Federal
State and city"-was made by David
Lawrence, editor Of the United States
Daily, In q radio talk last night over
station wRC.
Lawrence pointed out that matters
will not be improved by crying "too
much law-making." This is too often
a camouflage, he said, for those inter-
ests which are afraid the weak may be
protected against the strong The
thing that must be avoided instead, he
suggested, is "unintelligent law-making. "
Declaring that at best Government is
human and must make errors, Lawrence
urged that instead Of sitting back and
calling 1t Names the weakness of gov
eminent be studied so that its capacity
for justice and right-dealing be bull:
up. He said the judiciary was poorly
paid and poorly equipped, and that
State legislators were not properly COM
pensated by the States.
Arguing also that too much time and
money was wasted In unnecessary con-
troverSy and litigation, he pointed out
that business itself should seek direct
instead Of roundabout ways to approach
government. He urged that business
men should Cooperate not merely
through trade associations, but directly
in giving the Government facts relat-
ing to the scope Of pending legislation

Second Hague reparationS conference
Council session follows on January Is,
and the London Five-power Disarma-

France and Germany appointed their
delegations to The Hague conference,
which will review the work of the con-
ference last August, and the japanese
delegation to the Naval Conference
ended their long journey from Toxic
to London.
Japanese Study French Note.
When the japanese delegation to the
Naval Conference arrived In England
they found memorandum from France
explaining the French policy at the
conference.
M. Wakatsuki, head Of the delega-
ton, merely reiterated the Japanese
claim to 20 per cent of the greatest
naval strength" and then began to
make contacts with British oficials and
to study the French note.
The note, which was sentby the Out
d'Orsay to the four other conference
powers, afirmed that France would
base her policy on the covenant Of the
League of Nations.
In essence, 1t meant that France re-
garded the work Of the conference as
only preparatory to later disarmament
conference at Geneva, where land, air
and sea strength would be discussed
AS the United States Is not a men,

may cause difficulties at the confer

in Vicinity.
BY the Associated Press.

zens and all law officers in this vicinity

Green were being searched methodically
and National Guardsmen still patrolled
roads leading into the city.
While the bandit hunt was in prog
ress here officials also were busy seeing
that Elmer Grayson of Indianapolis,
confessed member Of the bandit trio
who was captured, will be brought to
trial. Grayson had been taken to
Nashville, Tenn, for safe keeping,
Late yesterday local officials recei1ed
information that Grayson was warAed
for an automobile theft in Tennessee.
Fearing that the man might stand trial
on that charge, holding up his trial
here, Sheriff Ferguson, County Judge
Rex A. Logan and Deputy Jailer Tom
Shields went to Nashville by automobile
and brought Grayson to Bowling Green
Later he was taken to Louisville for
safe keeping.
Meanwhile, Miss Jean Harvey Of In
dianapolis, who said she was Grayson's
sweetheart, had gone back to that city
after failing In an attempt to talk to
GraySon. Miss Harvey, 20 years old
and a pretty brunette, announced that
she would stand by Grayson and that
she would be back for his trial.
GraySon is charged with murder and
bank robbery. His case will be called
at the regular term of the grand jury
which begins January 6.

say I can't spare you from other
work. I gladly can. What appoint
ments could be MHore honest than

Vigorous Opposition Ex-
pressed to Admission to U. S.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A demand that Count and Countess
Karolyi be excluded from entry into
this country should they seek admis-
sion under visas issued by Secretary
StimSon was voiced in a letter made
public last night by H. Ralph Burton,
Washington lawyer, who is general
counsel of the National Patriotic League.
Writing to Benjamin Day, commits
sioner Of immigration at New York,
Burton commended that the Secretary
had Offered what amounted to q
singing rebuke" to the former Secre-
tarieS Hughes and Kellogg, who re-
fused visaS to the Karolyis.
Aside from being clearly very
severe criticism on his part OF the
policies of those eminent statesmen"
Burton said, "he has paved the way
for Karolyi and his wife to present
themselves to you or those IN your de-
partment whose duty it is to admit or
exclude them"
Sees Attempt to Defy Laws.
He added that this attempt to defy
the laws of the United States" could
be prevented by refusing admittance to
either the count or his wife.
Quoting from the counts book,
Fighting the World" Burton observed
that Karolyi not only had defended the
murder of Count TiSza, former Aus
TRAN prime minister, who was asSaS-
sinated, but writes, prints and pub
lished q defense Of the duty, necessity
or propriety' Of assassination, even for
the purpose of arouSing public opinion
on political issues"
."You can readily obtain" he con-
tinued, "a copy Of this book and GER
tainly the very fact that Karolyi wrote
It should be sufficient evidence that he
therein voiced his own beliefs.
StinnsOn's Action unfortunate"
you have no doubt received guam
titles Of data from many sources since
the report of Secretary StimSon's un-
fortunate action, showing the activities
on the part of Count Michael Karolyi
and Countess Catherine Karolyi his
wife, in connection with the COM
rnunistic movement in Hungary.
In addition to this you have access
to all official records in the various de-
partmentS which are complete upon the
