OFFICIALS SAY
PROBE GROUP
MADE MISTAKE
Police and Sheriff Chiefs
Supported Motion of
Rappaport.
NEW CONDITIONS CAUSE
Kinney, WinkIer and Judge
Collins Refuse to
Comment.

The Indiana crime commission
erred in not investigating prohibit
ton as a crime factor in the opinion
of a decided majority Of public Off
Gals interviewed today by The
Times.
Told prohibition has brought
more crime, graft and corruption
than ever existed before the crime
commission Saturday rejected, II
to 5, the motion of Leo M. Kappa
port. chairman of the subcommittee
on the causes of crime, for appoint
ment of a committee to inquire into
prohibition.
Supporters of the motion included
Walter j. CaYanaugh, former Ft.
Wayne police chief and last year
~sident of the Indiana Police
Chiefs Association, and Sheriff
Frank J. Kopkey of Pulaski county,
president of the Indiana Sheriffs'
Association.
Views expressed by law enforce
ment and legal officials here today
included:
Robert L. Humes, chief of state
police: rs prohibition cause of
crime2 1t is THE cause of crime.
The commission should have inves-
tigated this and everything that
needs investigation and then made
a recommendation to meet condi-
TONS"
E. L. Osborne, chief of state crime
bureau: The crime commissioners
probably were right in not investi-
eating prohibition. There is no need
to investigate. Prohibition is a
failure and one of the primary
causes of the current crime wave.
Everyone knows that. The rum
runner graduates into other rackets
and the hi-jacker becomes a muir
derer. Everyone knows that. so why
investigate and then do nothing
about it."
Crime Is Heightened
City Corporation Counsel Ed
ward H. Knight: MY personal
opinion is that the motion of Mr..
Rappaport for a specific investiga-
ton of the Indiana prohibition laws
and their effect on the crime situa-
ton, clearly comes within the scope
of the inquiry, and should have been
adopted.
Regardless of anyone'S personal
opinion on the prohibition question,
it is an established fact that the
enactment of prohibition laws, so
stringent as those in this state,
has developed entirely new phases
of criminal activity, and has led to
large increase in inmates in our
penal institutions; so 1t would ap-
pear rational to face the situation
and determine whether the public
welfare would be best served by a
recommendation for the revision of
the prohibition law, and possible
modification or repeal of the pro-
hibition amendment to the consti-
tuition"
Kinney, Winkler Silent
Attorney-General James M. o.
den, commission member, not pres
ent when Rappaport's motion was
offered: The commissions function
is drawing to a close and there is
no time now to investigate such
colossal problem. Besides, as
chairman of the committee on penal
problems, my subcop mittee report
there and also my bar association
speech on crime pointed out that
80 per cent of the increase in penal
population has nothing whatever to
do with prohibition"
Police Chief Jerry Kinney, Sheriff
George Winkler and Criminal Judge
James A. Collins we're among those
who declined comment.

2OO,O 900 Russian Royals t Exiles Fight
Poverty tn France to Overthrow Soviet
BY NfINoTT
NEA Service Writer

PARIS, April 4.-Political out
casts and people without a country,
100000 White Russians who still
follow the lead Of the remnants Of
Czar Nicholas regime are living In
exile In France. waiting and hoping
for the overthrow OF the Soviet gov
eminent at home.
Many Of them are former mobiles
Of the Russian court, once accus-
toned to lives OF east and elegance
and now reduced to the verge OF
poverty. Twenty thousand OF the
number are ex-soldiers. veterans
who fought against the Reds under
General Wrangel.
Recent events In Russia have
famed their royalist patriotism to
fever heat. Also playing an import
ant part has been the mysterious
disappearance and suspected kid
mapping by Soviet secret police OF
General Koutepoff, Russian mon
archist military leader. He diSap-
peared from the heart OF Paris.
Foes OF the Soviets
These Russians are grateful for
the hospitality Of France, and they
live peacefully. Their leaders avoid
anti-Soviet demonstrations. But
their sentiments have been express
ed in a letter to the French govern
ment. written by General Goule-
witch. a former chief Of staff OF the
Russian army and signed by more
than 1000 followers.
General Koutepoff has fallen a
victim TO Bolshevik terrorism on
hospitable French SOIL" II said 1T
was he whom the late Grand Duke
Nicholas chose as his successor as
he pursued the hope Of the future
liberation Of Russia.
I'm the face OF this crime. ac-
complished by the agents OF the
Red international: in the face OF
this latest a~trocity OF these enemies
Of civilization, the Just indignation
Of all patriotic Russians Is known.
The Russians who escaped this
regime Of crime and death proclaim
the confidence Of the real Russia,
the Russia Of Yesterday and Of the
future. In noble France ..."
Many Hold Lowly Jobs
High and low, these White Rus
slams have. for the most part, found
work in France. About 1000 r busy
in Paris alone as taxicab drivers.
You may hail a prince in his own
right, but he will accept a tip OF a
franc or two.
Thousands OF others have taken
jobs in factories. Those WHO car
find nothing else to do. toll as Ia
borers, or work on farms. They
make good walters. probably be-
cause they once were used to being
served. and many may be found in
all sorts Of restaurants. Cavalry Of
ficers make a living as Cossack dan
GERS in gay night clubs.
Many have done well here and are
prospecting. The natural charm Of
Russian women has brought them
success in France. They conduct wo-
mems stores. Dressmaking houses
find that they make excellent man
nequins because they are accuStom-
ed 10 wearing clothes well. Practi-
cally all Of the manikins IN one
fashionable house known the world
over are Russian women formerly
Of high estate.
However scattered. the White
Russian army has not ceased to ex-
ist. Here in France II has its chiefs.
