White went up in his plane to
height of $4,000 feet, or nearly flve
miles, before he stepped out OF the
plane into the air. He carried an oxygen
tank strapped to his chest on account
Of the great distance. He also took the
precaution of having an automatic cord
which was attached to his parachute and
to the airplane which opened the huge
silk bag. 1t was lucky he made this
ARRANGEMENT as he swooned after the
leap, and was unconscious for % min
utes, until after the parachute had
reached the ground.

that the law of the land must be , enforced.
 The development of the facts shows the necessity for certain lm- 1 portant and evident administrative reforms in the enforcement and l judicial machinery, concrete pro- posals for which are available from government departments. They arc in the main:
 | l. Reorganization Of the federal court structure so as to give relief from congestion.
 ?. Concentration Of responsibility ! in detection and prosecution of pro- | hibition violations.
 1 3. Consolidation of the various agencies engaged in prevention or smuggling of liquor, narcotics other merchandise and aliens over our l frontiers.
 4. Provision Of adequate court and prosecuting officials.
 3. Expansion of federal prisons and reorganization of parole and 1 other practices.
 Specific legislation for the District of Columbia.
 Appended hereto preliminary and a supplementary report from the commission on law observance anC enforcement, relating to several ot these and other questions I par | ticularly call attention to their rec | n, IF, I val, gestion in the federal courts by giv- ing court commissioners enlarged powers in minor criminal cases.
 Their discussion of the workabil- ity and the constitutionalty of the plan which is concurred in by the eminent jurists upon the commis- sion and others whose advice they have sought, is set out in more de- tail in the supplementary report. I also append memorandums from the attorney general and the secre- tary of the treasury upon several phases of these problems
 Believes Changes Necessary
 believe the administrative changes mentioned aDove will con- trlbute to cure many abuses. Be- yond these immediate questions are others which reach deeply into the whole question of the growth of crime and the enforcement of the laws. The causes of crime, the character of criminal laws, the benefits and liabilities that flow from them, the abuses which arise 1 under them, the method by which enforcement and judicial personnel IS secured, the judicial procedure, the respective responsibility of the federal and state governments to these problems all require further most exhaustive consideration and investigation which will require time and earnest research as to the facts and forces in action before sound opinions can be arrived at upon them.

Our investigation isl complete" he said, "and we are thor oughly prepared. We will demand the death penalty" Defense coun- sel were optimistic for acquittli. The idea that defense of temper ary insanity might be invoked was denied as ridiculous.
 Miss Parks own story, as quoted by Newark police 10 whom she sur rendered November 10. in company with her alleged common-law huB- band, Edward Baka, will be used as the principal weapon of defense her attorneys said. According to this story she declared that Dorothy died after mild chastsement an 1 that Timothy's death resulted from a fall down stairs.
 Both Left in Her Care
 The children were placed in Miss Parks care last May by Rogers after the death of his wife. who was re- lated by marriage 10 the defendant. According to statements attributed to the woman, Dorothy died August : and Timothy, August %. She car ried the bodies away in a suitcase. she told police, and buried them in shallow graves, Dorothy in National Park. N. J.. and Timothy in Abse- con. near Atlantic City.
 The accidental finding of Doro- thy's skeleton, November ,. started an investigation and search for Rogers children. On November lU. Miss Parks walked into the police station in Newark with a statement that she understood police were looking for her. Subsequently, she led them to the grave in Absecon where Timothy's skeleton was found and later to the grave from which county authorities had removed the dismem bercd body of the little girl.

 Travellers are now permitted, Mel lon explained, to enter the country anywhere, but must report at the nearest customs house, which may he entirely out of their line of travel, and declare their mcrchan- disc.
 Moreover" he added, "our pres ent patrol must necessarily be main tained on interior roads and not along the border. with the conse- Quent necessity Of stopping vehicles and pedestrians who may never have left the country"
 More effective guarding of the border would be possible under the plan proposed. Mellon declared.
 It would be the function of the unified and expanded border patrol to prevent entry Of any persons cX- cepting at the designated port of en- try. hc said. Mellon proposed no specific number of new customs houses, but said the increase should be substantial"
 "preliminary surveys" he added, have established the practicability of the plan. An actual physical eX- animation of our entire border, however, will be necessary prior to p1 q 0f nNintS Nf Inf or the closing of trails and traveled roads.
 "The work must be done in har- monious cooperation with our neigh boring countries, and their consent obtained as a matter of courtesy It ' will be required before the new bor- der patrol can be organized and the preliminary work completed.
