IN SPECIAL
MESSAGE
ONLAW
President Calls on Congress
to Hep Enforcement by
Passage Of 5 Measures

In an unexpected message to
Congress, President Hoover today
urged legislators to speed up &C,
ton on the law enforcement re-
form. he had previously asked
them to adopt.
Prompt action is necessary, the
President wrote, ''if am to per
form the high duty which falls
upon the Executive of enforce.
ment Of the Federal laws"
The specific measures which
the President requested Congress
to enact without further delay
were:
An adequate prohibition en-
forcement law for the District OF
Columbia.
Transfer of prohibition en-
forcement from the Treasury to
the Justice Department.
Relief of court docket congeS.
ton through jurylesS trials be,
fore Federal commissioners.
Extension Of Federal prisons,
together with a more adequate
parole system.
Reorganization of the border
patrol.
The President said:
1--WE have within the limits
of existing legislation improved
the personnel and greatly in
creased the efficiency of the
existing Federal machinery in
criminal law enforcement dur
ing the, past year.
''The above reforms are
necessary, however, if 1 am to
perform the high duty which
falls upon the Executive of en-
forcement of the Federal laws.
Not Up to Standard
."While a considerable part
of this condition arises from
the laws relating to intOxicat-
ing liquors, yet the laws relat-
ing to narcotics, automobile
thefts, ETC., which have been
enacted by the Congress dur
ing recent years, also con-
tribute to create the present
conditions. This is well indi
Gated by the fact that less
than One-third of Federal
prisoners are due to prOhi5i-
tiOn.
"Our obedience to law, our
law enforcement and judicial
organization, our judicial pro-
cedure, our care and methods
Of handling prisoners, in rela-
tion not only to Federal Gov
ernment but also to the State
and municipal governments,
are far from the standard that
must be secured.
'"TheSe proposals, while they
do not comprehend the whole
which remains to be done in
the nation, are a step toward
lifting the Federal standards
which must have a general
beneficial influence"

prior to the murder.

8. Police are working on the
tip given his superior officer two
weeks ago by Park Policeman
William Hammond. Hammond
declared he saw Miss Baker meet
man many times at the same
spot she met him the day she
was murdered. He furnished a
description of the man and his
automobile and gave two numer-
ais Of the Maryland license tag
which it carried.
Because of the uncertainty as
to where the murder actually was
committed, authorities Of three
Jurisdictions are at work on the
case and many promising leads
have been run down to no avail
Last Seen in d. C.
The Washington homicide
squad, headed by Lieut.. Edward
j. Kelly, has been assigned to
the case because the last time
the slain girl was seen alive she
was in her own parked automo-
bile near Seventeenth and B
Streets Northwest, arguing with
a man in a crap cap.
Arlington county authorities are
interested because the body was
found in Arlington county and
the possibility that she was MUIR
dered there is very strong.
Department of Justice opera
tiveS have been assigned to the
case because the body was found
on Government property, and
there is probability that she
was murdered on Federal soil.
One theory is that an admirer
whom Miss Baker repulSed, but
did permit to drive her car on
the night of April IL, is the
slayer. The only tangible clue to
support this premise is the fact
that a man, not yet identified,
met her frequently. He is sup.
posed to have driven a Chrysler

Americas hands-off policy in re-

from shared by all American cit
izens, judging from a booklet re-
Gently issued by American League
of Nations Association. Whole
hearted cooperation with League
aims was expressed financially by
private citizens of the United States
in gifts and pledges totaling near
Iy $S,000,000 since the League was
established. The largest single gif.
came from John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
who donated $2,O0O,0OO for the
construction and endowment of the
League library.
But American cooperation did not
stop with financial aid. The book
let lists 341 citizens and 172 organ
izations that have actively helped
in some way to further the good
b u S / n ess of internationalism
through the League. Seven United
