BABY HUNT Joke

NEW YORK, March 8 (I.NS).
An attempt to "joke" about the

KIDNAPPING LAW
PER|LS SEEN

A Federal law making kidnap.
ing a capital crime would defeat
its own purpose in the eyes Of
most District jurists.
While the crime Of kidnapping
Is regarded as one Of the most
heinous by judges and attorneys
in the District, such a. severe pen
atty seems to be frowned upon.
The death penalty, should a
Federal law be passed. would re-
suit in all probability in the death
of the victims should kidnaperS
be pressed too closely, in the opin-
ion Of most Of those interviewed
on the subject.
Legally, a Federal law could not
cover kidnapping unless the victim
was carried across State lines, in
the opinion Of most authorities.
Making capital punishment the
penalty was looked upon by those
questioned as dangerous to the
granting Of immunity for the safe
return Of the kidnapped. u

KIDNAPPING BILL
STUDIED ANEW

The House Judiciary Commit
tee today resumed consideration
Of the Cochran bill imposing the
death penalty on kidnapers and
their conspirators who cross
State lines with their victims.
The possibility remained that
the committee would hold up the
bill If the Lindbergh baby is not
returned to his parents within
the next few days.
Some members Of the commit
tee fear action by the House
might cause the kidnapers to be-
come frightened and harm the
baby.
An attempt will be made, how.
ever. by Representative Mead
Cd, of New York, chairman Of
the post office committee, to get
House action tomorrow on his
bill inflicting heavy penalties for
sending threatening letters de-
manding ransom through the

is not an accident nor an en1er-
gency measure. 1t isn't happen
ing simply because the Lindberghs
are caught in cruel trap. 1t
was bound to happen.
GangIand's Big Chance
It has been coming for a long
time. It is the inevitable fruit Of
our own policy or lack Of policy.
Now it has happened. And it will
happen again and again and
again.
Gangdom won't go back to its
place when little Lindy is restored.
It has come into its full power at
last. It will retain that power
until we Lave the strength to
smash it down. Which, from pres
ent indications, will be quite some
time yet.
Why has this thing happened?
Because we let it happen by our
sentimental shilly-shallying i.
BY our aimless drifting by
our conceit and stupidity and re-
fuSal to face facts. No use whin-
ing now. Crying that ''It can't
be possible-law and order must
triumph"
Law and order have triumphed.
But they are the gangster'S law
and the gangster's order. Not
law and order in name only, like
ours, but the ruthless, ,uncom-
promising law Of people who never
duck reality-the organized, con-
trolled order of people who make
a plan and see it through.
Racketeer Triumph
Why are we trucking to the
underworld? Because this is q
showdown. The underworld is
strong where we are weak, organ
lied where we are disorganized,
positive where we are negative.
Why do the wicked flourish
while the righteous get it in the
neck? Because while the right
eous fuss around, the wicked
ACT. Very pretty to talk about
"God being on our Side"-
BUT GOD HELPS THOSE
WHO HELP THEMSELVES.
And "to him that hath, it shall
be given"-Even though he be a
racketeer.

Respectable society turning to

ACCEPT BABY

The medical staff Of Children's
Hospital has adopted resolu-
tions to the effect that the hos
pital will be glad to be the sane
tuary of the Lindbergh baby If
the child is in Washington, or
if anyone cares to bring him to
that institution.
It was promised in the resolu-
ton that no questions would be
asked.
The hospital hopes in this way
to serve as a possible intermedi-
ary for the return of the infant,
whose kidnapping has created in
ternational concern.
