ASKED
FOR JOB PLAN

A demand that President
Hoover specify how he plans to
meet the unemployment problem
this winter was on his desk today
when he returned from his week
end at Rapidan.
It came from Jouett Shouse,
executive chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, who
asserted that Mr.. Hoover had
consistently minimized the unem-
ployment problem, refusing to
accept either the 100000 esti-
mate of President Green, of the
American Federation of Labor,
or the 100000 estimate of the
Commerce Department. Said
Shouse:
"What the country is en-
titled to from the President is
more positive action and less
theoretical investigation. If the
President has any concrete plan
the country has a right to
know what it is"

HAVANA, Aug. II Q.N.S0.
Cuba's revolt appeared to be dy-
ing a natural death today as the
government reported all quiet
throughout the republic.
Sporadic outbreaks occurring
after capture Of leaders Of the
insurrection appeared to have
ceased. The government expressed
onvi tion all revolutionaries
would have laid down their arms
within a week at the outside.
Thousands See Leaders
The spectacle of Gen. Mario
MenOcal and Colonel Mendieta,
authors of the revolt, arriving
bedraggIed, muddy, and ragged in
Havana after their capture in the
province Of Pinar Del Rio had q
profound effect upon the thou
sands of spectators who gathered
to witness their Incarceration in
Cabanas Fortress.
Even discussions of the revolt
seemed too stale a TOPIC to the
man in the street day. The
government abolished its general
staff information bureau, de-
claring the uprisings had been
quelled and that further COM
muniques were unnecessary.

President Machado would return

While the fall of the price of
sugar below cost of production has
caused much misery throughout
Cuba and consequently criticism
of President Machado's admin

day to be in a stronger position
than at any time in the last three

The fact that the army has re-

''SOFT 7 PEDAL
! ON LIQUOR
]. ISSUE
Only | Paragraph and Foot
j note Devoted to Question
! In Report Of 800 Pages


Stunped by the magnitude of
o study which would determine
the basic causes of crime in the
United States, President Hoover'S
law enforcement commission to-
day made public q voluminous
report on the subject that was
lacking in conclusion.
The results totaled a quarter
million words, but 1t was stated
at the outset:
1--WE find 1t impossible com.
prehensiveIy to discuss the
causes of crime or factors in
nOnObscrvance of law"
More Study Required
It was indicated that unemploy-
ment, bad environment, political
corruption and defective mental
ity we're probable factors, among
others, in leading men and women
into unlawful. pursuit, but for an
answe. to the extent it was as
serted further studies would be
required by. other agencies.
In many quarters surprise was
manifest at the manner in which
the commission soft pedaled pro
hibition as a cause Of crime. In
all the 300 pages of the report,
criminality inspired by the liquor
traffic was touched upon only in
q single paragraph and footnote
of similar length. This reference
came in passing in a chapter de-
voted to Political Factors" 1t
said: .,.
when particular types of
organized criminals are exam
ined, the operation of other
cOntributOry factors becomes
evident. The activity Of the
bootleg gang, termed the great
est menace Of organized crime
by the Illinois crime survey,
with its consequent toll of hOm-
icide, murder and violence,
would not be possible without
the demand for intoxicating
LIQUORS and the tremendous
profit to be made in supply
ing it,"
Underworld Strengthened
The footnote said, in part:
"The underwOrIds of the
large cities have been tremen-
dOusly strengthened by the
manufacturers and distributors a.
of intoxicating liquors. The
immense profits derived from
this source have become the
backbone of criminal Organiza-
ton in many of these cities"
Nine members, headed by
Chairman George w. Wicker
sham, signed the report.
The signature of Judge William
s. Kenyon, of Iowa, was not
appended. Henry w. Anderson,
of Virginia, inserted a minority
report in which he accused his
colleagues of having failed to
follow the Presidents instructions
to make accurate determinations
Of fact and cause and follow
these with constructive, courage
Gus conclusions which will bring
public understanding and com.
mand public support of it's solu-
tions.'"
AndersOn's Recommendations
Anderson recommended:
"There should be a thorough
and cOurag geOuS re-examinatiOn
of the principles and structure
Of our social, political, legal.
and economic system with a
view to. their orderly adapta-
tion to the rapidly changing
conditions"
He further urged the establish
Inent, in a proper Federal depart.
ment. of an institute of human
research" which would continue
the studies of sociology.
