OF SEVEN ORPHANS
Drown as Wave EnguIfs go.
Many Rescued-Bodies of

NEW YORK, August 9.-Lifeguards
and police patrolled the Rockaway
shore today, seeking the bodies of six
orphan children, missing since comber
struck the Edgemere Beach yesterday.
One other child was drowned outright
in the tragedy.
They were lost from a group of los
frolicking youngsters of the Pride Of
Judea Home, enjoying an annual visit
to the seashore.
The children had been taken to the
beach in busses, excited and happy over
their days airing. Accompanying them
were officials Of the home and 10
women chaperons.
Rush Into Water.
Sixty of the children, set free on the
beach. waded out on a 100-yard long
sandbar. 1t was dangerous footing, but
they, hand in hand did not know it.
A lifeguard. Harry Epstein, saw them.
Be blew a warning whistle and started
rowing his catamaran toward them. His
partner, Michael Davis, jumped from
his observation tower and started SWIM
ming to them.
| AS the children halted, bewildered,
, the wave hit, swept 40 of them into
| the surf, and smashed the sandbar in
| half.
1T was like shipwreck," said Epstein
Heads were bobbing everywhere
Twelve lifeguards were on the job in
a moment. They worked carrying chill
dren to safety and later at resuscitation
| until some of them dropped.
Raymond Evans, 10, never regained
consciousness after he had been pulled
ashore. Nine others were brought back
| to life.
Police questioned the chaperons. The
lifeguards criticised the party's super
! vision But six little bodies were sought
in vain all through the night.

Gated. 1t would be unsound. however,
to indicate that the Federal Govern
ment intends to police every community
in this country.
The various communities have law
enforcement agencies which should
properly function in suppressing the
local crimes. Here, too, arises the
obligation of the citizens of our COM
munities that they be fully alert to
their own responsibility in selecting
proper local, municipal and State Off
cials. From the brief period during the
initiation of this movement this de-
partment has received excellent CO.
operation from the local authorities.
1t is to be hoped that this cordial spirit
Of cooperation may spread throughout
the United States and that such local
and Safe agencies with whom We come
in contact may realize that it is the
purpose of the Department of Justice
to render honest and efficient service
so that, with the full cooperation and
perhaps with better coordination. and
at all times with the support of public
opinion, we may achieve just and last

some thought to the matter of pre-
vention as we'll as solution and punish
ment. of these crimes There are many
known criminals in our midst who are
undoubtedly at this very time plotting
and planning vicious enterprises while
the various law enforcement agencies
of this country are awaiting their at
tack This leads to an insistent de-
mand from all parts of our country
that these hardened criminals be
corraled and put without the pale Of
our civilized communities. Various
drastic remedies have been suggested
to accomplish this purpose, including
the declaration of a State of insur-
rection by our Chief Executive. and the
direct attempt to enforce the local laws
through the agency of the Federal
Government and courts martial.
Orderly Channels Best.
Il am sure that thoughtful minds
will agree that every effort should
be made to enforce our laws in an
orderly manner and through the proper
agencies rather than resorting to these
drastic steps. Until there is definit.
evidence of the failure of the local
authorities to enforce their own laws,
we should refrain from unsound and
hysterical practices. Others suggest
the formation of various vigilante
groups who can take the enforcement
of the law in their own hands. We
are here to announce that the Fed
eral Government will enforce its own
laws through its duly constituted and
authorized agents engaged for such
purpose and sworn to perform such
duties.
There is no indication of the
breakdown of Federal authority and
it is the purpose of this department
to increase the members of its Bureau
of Investigation and other law en-
forcement agencies to such extent as
may be found necessary efficiently to
enforce its laws. However. the de-
partment will attempt to do its full
share in ridding the community Of the
hardened criminals 1t would seem
quite apparent that many Of these
criminals. having once been appre-
hended and convicted, have been pre-
maturely let loose as dangerous agen-
cies among our communities. Many
of these habitual offenders cannot be
prevented from committing crime by
any deterring influence. They cannot
be reached by either certainty Of pun
ishment, speed of punishment, or its
severity. They are totally non-social
in type and should be treated no dif-
ferently than those unfortunate crea-
lures who, having become dangerous
maniacs. are required to be safely
confined for all time to State insane
hospitals.
Every criminal, once convicted Ct
a crime OF violence, should receive the

the federation today, "emphasize the

was said in this connection by Luther

"On the one hand, the Federal Gov
