DIAGNOSES CAUSE: 0F CRIME WAVE
Randolph Tells N, Y. Trade
 Board Of Chicago

New York, Oct (UP)-The na-
 tional willingness to pay tribute to | 'robber barons' for liquor and to
 purchase special privileges, Col. Robert I. Randolph, head of the Chicago Association of Commerce,
 declared here yesterday.
 Speaking at a New York Board of 1 Trade luncheon, the man who is 1 leading the civilian anti-crime drive
 Tn Chicago declared New York IS
 the port of entry for much of tn }
 crime in the country and Chicago is perhaps the largest distributing cen- l ter"
 Prohibition and racketeering, he
 held, lay at the root of the crime
 wave.
 AS to prohibition he said. q
 think our difficulties result because we have made a felony out of what many, if not a majority of people regard as an innocent thing. which
 results in the felony being com | pounded by the millions of US. It
 has been conservatively estimated
 that the gross sales of illegal liquor
 in Chicago amount to s3,0o0,00 a week and New York's weekly bill is probably much greater than that.
 The great volume of this illegal business and the enormous profits that it produces have resulted in the building up of a nationwide or sanization that operates by bribery, | corruption and force.

DEMOCRATS NEXT
 IN SENATE QU!z
Three More Investigations Loom
 Over Campaign Funds

Washington, Oct. 9 (UP) - Dem ocratic primaries will receive most of the attention of the senate cam paign expenditures committee be- tween now and the general elections in November, it developed yester- day.
 The only new hearings to be opened are in the democratic cam paigns in Tennessee, North Carolina and possibly Delaware.
 In addition. the committee will continue it's investigation into the republican primary in Nebraska Al other inquiries have been postponed until after the elections.
 This program is the committed answer to the charge it has been de- voting too much time to republican primaries. The fact that the con- mittee has given it's entire attention so far. to republican primaries in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Nebras- ka, gave rise to the charge it was ignoring the democratic campaigns
 Senator Patterson. republican Mo, has been appointed chairman of a sub committee to hold hearings in North Carolina.
 Patterson also probably will han dle the hearings in Tennessee. The date for them depends upon the North Carolina inquiry.
 The charge in North Carolina is that large sums of money were thrown into the state from outside to nominate Josiah Bailey, the dem ocratic candidate. All of the sena- torial candidates are involved in the Tennessee charges
 May Include Delaware
 The committee also may hold hearings in Delaware later this month in connection with charges that money was used excessively to nominate former Senator Bayard as the democratic candidate.
 Chairman Nye personally will continue the Nebraska inquiry into the candidacy of George w. Norris, the Broken Bow grocer, against Senator George W. Norris. Nye has announced his determination to find the source of money advanced to the grocer for his candidacy.
 While in Nebraska, Nye has an nounced. he will be receptive to charges that persons passing as fed eral agents attempted to tap the wires leading to hotel rooms occu- pied by the grocer's friends.
 Massachusetts is among the states in which hearings have been post poned until after the elections. MeanN hile, however, Senator Wag- ner, democrat, N. Y, will personally inquire into charges that excessive money was spent in the campaign for William M. Butler, republican candidate.
 Other states in which the inquir- ies have been postponed include Minnesota, Colorado, New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Illinois.

 New York - Colonel and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh are wondering what to do with a lot of baby clothes. So many layettes were sent for junior that he would have to remain a baby ten years to wear them out. His parents feel that to return them would be ungracious, to give them away would make it appear that the present were not appreciated. This is set forth in an in Pictorial Review.

Washington. Oct. g PtPromise of an early report on prohibition in which there will be mo pussyfoot- ing emanated from President Hoover's law enforcement commls- sion today after long hours of argu- ment at it's opening session yester- day.
 It has become definitely known that the controversial subject of pro- hibition- is now dominating the dis cussions of the commission and that virtually all of the day and night sessions yesterday were spent Tn : arguing the demands of an insurgent e element of the commission for al immediate report on this question. Two Insurgents Lead y Leaders Of this insurgent element are understood to be Judge William s. Kenyon of Iowa, and Kenneth $. nacKintosh. former Washington jur- ist. both republicans and dry, but neither of these would talk. They are reported to have insisted that the commission thresh out the pro- 'hibition controversy and do it at once. ''-'
 'r Chairman. George w. Wickersham announced after the long opening session that the commission hoped to report to congress by the opening of the December session. He added he believed If the commission reaches the conclusion that prohibit tion is not enforceable, I think we should say so."
 l So busy have members of the con- mission been in their first hours since the summer recess. in arguing over the demands for an immediate report on prohibition that there has been no indication so far of how the body divided on this subject, if it does divide. Also. no concrete proposition in the way of recom- mendation on prohibition has so far been placed before it.
 To Assail Political Influence
 It is fairly certain, however, that the commission is prepared to assall political influence" in the admins tration of justice. Already members of the commission have lashed out at this. While an early conclusion 
 is in prospect on the prohibition subject. several months are expect ed to be required by that body in completing it's gigantic task of sur yeying every phase of law enforce ment.
 All reports on prohibition are un- derstood to have been completed. This is what is irritating some of the members. They say there is no fur ther reason for delay
 With prohibition an issue in sev- eral campaigns this year, political leaders are wondering whether the commission might actually report before election day little more than three weeks hence. It is not be- lieved, however the report will be reached by that time.
