U. S. Prosecutor in New York
Pleads Over Radio for Aid

NEW YORK, June % U.So.
United States Attorney Howard
W. Ameli. in a radio address over
Station WOR, yesterday urged
citizens to report any and all
racketeering."
If there should Se genuine
response. he predicted. the
"wretched business would be
speedily ended" He continued
"It is apparent that most
men paying tribute prefer to
continue rather than endanger
their lives or those of their fam
lilies. Rackcteering has become
a big money business. The
racketeer has now become an
outlaw and a public enemy and
should be dealt with as SUCH"
Ameli pleaded that the nation
go back to the stern morality and
religious faith of the forefathers.
He declared:
"Some suggest new laws, others
say education will help cope
with this menace. In my Opin-
ion the real underlying cause
is the present day condition of
society-OccasiOned by loss of
faith and moral stamina. This
loss of morality threatens the
civilization the last 1900 years
has built up.

vent the commission of crime

bition opens to the public.
Generally considered a citadel Of
conservatism, the dgnified old galleries
in Piccadilly are crowded with etch-
ings. statues and paintings. In all
1881 works of artists, ranging from
academicians TO flremen, have been &C.
cepted by the Selection Committee.
which winnowed through at least as
many more.
Four American Exhibitors.
Among the exhibitors are four Ameri-
cans. Mrs Bessie Calender of New
York and London. q native Of Wichita,
Kans., has a black marble statue, Al
rican Antelope; D. Evans OF New
York, a bronze head, Marquette; P.
statue, Shooting at the Stars" and J.
T. Arms. Fairfield, Conn, two etchings
Of cathedrals.
The general level Of the exhibition
seems conservative. with many por-
traits In the tradition Of the British
school, but at least one academician, Sir
william Orpen, has hung three sur
prises. He has three portraits in his
usual style. and also three pictures
more in the primitive style, which are
likely to provoke discussion.
One Palm Sunday, A. D. 49," de-
picts Christ on a donkey, with two
women nearby holding palms. The
drawings and fermentation obviously
are intentionally crude.
For the average Britisher he has
three portraits of royalty-the King
Princess Elizabeth and the Duchess of
York.
Private view today drew many no
tables. for the academy exhibition Is
one of the starting guns Of the London
social season.
