BUREAU IS READY
FOR NEW RACKETS
U. S. Plans to Crush Boot.
IeggerS Who Turn to Other
Crimes Under Repeal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The going may prove tough for boot
leggers and illicit liquor dealers who
plan to try new rackets if prohibition
is repealed. The Justice Department
intends to crush them.
j. Edgar Hoover, director of the de-
partment's division of investigation.
discussed the outlook today. Every
strategic agency of his organization,
he said, will have men ready to meet
any new shift in lawless tendencies.
Many persons now in the bootleg
ging business will turn to various forms
of racketeering." Hoover said. They
have been used to life of crime and
do not know how to work for an honest
living. Every bureau in this country
will have men trained to cope with
such situation should it arise.
But Hoover said recent transfers Of
key men in his bureau were routine
promotions and indicated no intensi-
fed drive on rackets in any one sector.
The laws are always on the statute
books" he said, land we are always
driving to enforce them"
Hoover emphasized the work his di-
crime, particularly kidnapping and ex-
tortion.
Every kidnapping case turned over
to this division since enactment of the
Federal kidnapping law in June. 1882,
has been solved" he said. I'm some
cases, we have not arrested all the
persons involved. but we know who
they are. In others, we have not yet
gone to trial but every case has been
unraveled.
Every time we make an arrest or
get a conviction in any case it helps
put the fear Of the law into criminals.
1t is this fear and the confidence Of
the decent people in our work that
will do much toward wiping out crime
Every conviction or arrest in any
type of case puts fear into the under
world and when we get death sentence
in a capital case it does more than
anything else to make the underworld
respect law and order.
"A criminal will take life sentence
or period of years with the hope that
some day he will be pardoned or
paroH4, but when one knows he is
going to be executed then he comes
face to face with the full power of the
law and makes for his fellow criminals
forceful example that is bound to be
deterrent to crime"

CHICAGO, September IL. School
teachers do not regard kidnapping as
such serious crime as do prisoners Of
the Illinois State Penitentiary, the
American Psychological Association was
informed today.
The prisoner studies were made by
Ray Mars Simpson of the Department
of Public Welfare of Illinois. He said
that 272 Gary and Joliet high school
teachers rated kidnapping as the ninth
most serious crime, while 200 convicts
placed it sixth. The teachers put
burglary in twenty-second place, while
the law ranks it eighth.
THE Bible stresses the duties of man
to God," Mr.. Simpson said, while COL
lege freshmen and penitentiary inmates
tend to rate as more important those
commandments which deal with the
duties of man to man. There Is q
marked degree of agreement in atti-
tudes of college students and peni-
tentiary inmates toward the Ten Com
mandments Both groups agree that
Thou shalt not kill is the most i'm

father and thy mother" ranks second
and Thou shalt not steal' third.

depressions. He said the prisoners ad-

Hull's Statement
The chief concern Of the Govern

been that Cuba solve her own political
problems IN accordance with the de-
sires Of the Cuban people themselves.
It would seem unnecessary to repeat
that the Government Of the United
States has no interest in behalf Of or
prejudice against any political group or
independent organization which is to-
day active in the political life Of Cuba.
I'm view Of the deep and abiding in

pie and the security Of the Republic Of
Cuba. our Government Is prepared to
welcome any government representing
the will Of the people Of the republic
and capable OF maintaining law and
order throughout the island.
Such a government would be COM

pointed out that bilateral action was
necessary to change treaty, and there
was little likelihood Of the United
