President Concerned Over Increase in Activities of
 Organized Crime

Washington, May 1i tUr) - Alarmed by the growth of criminal gangs in larger citias Of the coun- try, tho justice department has Initiated q campaign directed against such characters as Scarface Al Capone. and others.
 President Hoover is seriously con- cerncd about the increase in crime and particularly regards the aCtiNI- ties Of Capone and his henchmcn and other gangs as defiance Of or sanized law and the federal govern ment which must be suppressed at all costs.
 Ralph Capone, brother of the Chi cago gang leader, recently was in dicted on an income tax charge.
 The campaign against criminal gangs is being conducted chiefly through L. S. district attorneys in cooperation with local authorities. In some cases the evidence obtained by federal officers is turned over to the state prosecutors for action be cause Speedier trials are possible in some state courts than in the con- gested federal tribunals.
