and all persons therein In the enjoy.
ment of a republican form Of govern
ment as guaranteed in the Constitu-
ton of the United States"
Copeland said that In framing the
bill he had in mind the O'Connell kid
naping case in Albany, where the local
authorities failed to act vigorously or
to welcome Federal investigation.
The power to intervene in kidnapping
cases, Copeland said, would be included
in bill drawn up by him which will
provide that in the event of the disap-
pearance of an individual the presunp-
ton would exist after three days abb
sence that the person had been kid
naped and State line had been
crossed. The Federal Government
could then use all its police power to
trace the missing and presumably kid
naped individual.
Copeland announced his plan after
q hearing Of the committee at which
were told that the "kick-back"
racket, under which workers are re-
quired to return part of their wages,
Is virtually universal on construction

gram to Extend Federal
Governments Power.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 22-Senator
Royal S. Copeland, Democrat, of New
York made public last night his a.
point program giving the Federal Gov
ernment the power to extend its po-
lice units to fight crime now outside
their Jurisdiction.
Senator Copeland. chairman OF the
Senate committee investigating rack
eteering, framed and prepared the leg
islative program with the aid Of agents
of the United States Bureau of Investi-
cation. The plan includes provisions
empowering the Federal Government
to extend its authority to cover all kid
nap cases; end the requirement for a
unanimous jury verdict in Federal
courts; supervise the extradition of
witnesses from one State to another;
impose drastic regulations for the in
terstate sale Of firearms; to intervene
in any State or community where the
Attorney General determines that local
government has failed to function.
The last-named power, according to
Copeland's plan, would be conferred in
bill placing on the Federal Govern
ment the duty of protecting States
