N'GEE VERDICT
IS HAILED BY
CUMMINGS
Death Sentence Will Be Great
Aid in Drive on Crime, Says
Attorney General
BY International New. Service

Infliction of the death penalty
on Walter MCGEE, convicted OF
the kidnapping Of Mary McElroy,
in Kansas City, was hailed by At
torney General Cummings today
as of greatest significance in the
Department of Justice anticrime
campaign. He said:
"That Is an indication of how
the people feel about this type
of crime. Public opinion is
swinging against racketeering,
kidnapping, bOmbings and other
crimes Of extOrtiOn.
IF there are enough of these
convictions with heavy penalties
and the proper publicity is given
to the solution of crimes and
the conviction of criminals, a
long step will have been taken
in wiping out the cold -blOoded,
premeditated activities of the
armies of the underworld"
Two Cases UnsOlved
Cummings declared that since
the enactment of the Federal kid.
naping law, that grew out of the
abduction and subsequent MUIR
der of the Lindbergh child, there
have been but two unsolved crimes
of this character. He mentioned
the Hamm, Luer, Boetcher, Nc
Elroy and McMath cases as the
important ones solved.
In the O'Connell case, still un-
solved, Cummings said that it ap-
peared that the Federal Govern
ment had no authority as there
were no interstate aspects. Cum
mings said:
I'm practically every case
where we can get the cOOpera-
ton of the family of the vic
tim and of the State and local
authorities, the Government
can solve kidnapping cases.
with this cooperation kid
naping will cease to be a pOpu-
lar criminal activity as the per
petratOrs will find out they
can't get away with it,
May Increase Forces
The Federal forces will be built
up sufficiently to meet the crime
problem. now recognized as a
national menace, Cummings said.
He added that if it appears that
the means now available for the
task are inadequate other facil-
tiles must be found.
AS to a national police force
Cummings said that this proposal
is worthy of careful consideration
and it is one of the plans before
him to meet the crime situation.

BYSECRETARY
ASSaiIs Powers "WantonIy In
CIined" to Block Further
C0nfabS

LONDON, July ~ U.N.S0-
Secretary of State Hull, at the
closing session today, made q
stirring appeal to. the 60-odd ma
tions to carry on with the work
Of the World Economic Confer
ence. Hull declared:
"FOr those either pessimisti-
cally or wantOnly inclined to
attempt further to handicap the
conference in its particular ef-
forts to go forward is virtually
to indict and discredit all forms
Of international cooperation,
however necessary, to deal with
international problems which
vitally affect the welfare Of
peoples alike in every part Of
the world"
Declaring that to impute the
conference had failed would be to
''impute the bankruptcy Of world
craftsmanship in the face Of un-
paralleled and universal economic
distress and suffering" Hull
added:
my judgment is that just
now the worlds statesmen can
not sit in conference too often
or too long in earnest and pa
tient consideration Of all queS-
tiOnS calculated to disturb
friendly relations and clear un-
derstanding between nations
and in determined effort to
bring about their fair and peace
full adjustment"
Hull said the greatest single
step the conference can take to
restore confidence throughout the
world is to go "resolutely forward
to the solution Of each vital prob
lam listed on the agenda."
Attacking the assertions that
Americas efforts to place its own
house in order were interfering
with international cooperation
for worldwide business recovery.
Hull said:
Let me say with reference
to my own and other countries
striving by every available do
mestic method, to extricate
themselves from panic cOndi-
ti0nS, that there is no logic In
the theory that such domestic
policies are irreconciliable with
international cooperation"

nations methods to meet its in.
dividual needs"
In the message, addressed di
rectly to Macdonald, whom Presi
dent Roosevelt praised for hi
courageous and patient handling
of the parley, there was an implied
defense of Americas refusal tC
discuss temporary stabilizatior
moves.
Cooperation Pledged
Likewise, there was an inferen
tial plea to the nations of Europe
to adopt an attitude of friendly
waiting toward such internal do
mestic measures as the Nationa
Recovery Administration.
AS to the conference, which
speaker after speaker before Sec
retary Hull had classed az
wrecked, sabotaged, or reefed or
the shoals of misunderstanding
or unavoidable circumstances, the
President said:
"Such interchange (Of ma
tiOnaI difficulties and recovery
methOdS). especially If it re-
suits in full discussions Of all
problems and not a few only,
makes progress more, and not
less, possible in the future.
"That Is why I do not regard
the economic conference as
failure.
Larger and more prominent
problems will continue to be
anaIyzed and discussed"
In closing, the President prom
ised continued American coopera
tion in attempts to solve the
worlds problems by international
collaboration.
When the conference met again
after luncheon for its final ses.
sion before recess, Secretary Hull
read his own speech in which he
warned that if any nation refused
to continue cooperation m the
parley, all forms of international
cooperation will be threatened.
Few Hear Speech
The benches were half empty
during Hull's address, many of
the delegates having already left,
and the remainder were impatient
to be on their way.
Premier Macdonald acceded to
Hull's request that his speech be
moved up ahead of that of FL
nance Minister Georges Bonnet
of France, to permit him to catch
the $40 boat train.
When the speeches were over,
the conference approved without
discussion three propositions sub
mitted by Premier Macdonald,
The propositions called for i1-
definite continuance of the con-
ference, with the steering commit
tee setting a date for formal re.
sumption, and for receipt of re.
ports from the monetary and eco-
nomic commissions.
After stating each proposition
Macdonald slowly enunciated the
word agreed" and then awaited
for objections, none of which was
forthcoming. In deliberate tones
and gracious phrases. he ther
read his closing address.
