BEGIN WORK OF
LEVELINC LAND
FOR AQUARIUM
CARRIED ON UN-
DER DIRECTION OF DIR. VAN
DEUsEN AND F. w. KNAPP,
ENGINEER

Work started this morning on
excavating and leveling off the
land between the Mallory docE
property and the lighthouse de.
partment headquarters which is
the initial activity on the con.
struction of the Key West Aqua,
rum.
This preparatory work is being
done under the direct supervision
of DR.. Robert o.. Van Deusen and
F. w. Knapp, construction engi-
neer, who has been secured fol
this particular project because OF
his familiarity with this type OF
building.
In a further dissertation on the
aquarium DIR. Van Deusen told
The Citizen he was satisfied that
at least 5000 fish could be COM
fortably placed in the 26 tanks of
the building.
Aside from these the cases
could carry a wonderful display
Of invertebrates, some of which
are beautifully colored and
abound in these waters.
Many Species
There are more than 600 species
Of fish that could be displayed.
While not all of them could be.
with safety, placed in the tanks at
ore time, he said. during the
course Of q year practically all Of
them could be displayed. At least
from 400 to 500 species.
DR.. Van Deusen is convinced
that nowhere else in the United
States could a more beautiful col
lection Of fish and sea animals be
assembled. than Key. West.
All of them are within easy dis.
lance of the tanks and could be
replaced as quickly as they died
or were eaten by others. At the
northern aquariums the collec-
tions of tropical fish are always
those that attract the largest
number of visitors, because OF
their wonderful colorings and
shapes.
Great Display
And, says the doctor, there
never need be one day when the
tanks would not contain display
Of color and scintillating beauty
that would attract visitors from
all parts of the country.
Especially would the aquarium,
he believes, be the goal of many
students of marine biology, and
also for many artists, who spe-
cialize in painting marine life,
who would be continually in front
of the tanks sketching in colors or
photographing the wonderful dis
play to be later transferred in
colors for illustrating articles and
stories dealing with biological
subjects.

CRIME AFTER REPEAL? 7
UP TO PUBLIC--KEENAN
By JOSEPH B. KEENAN,
Assistant Attorney General of the
United States

Tesiesanh fAttOfney 0eneral OF tns
United States
written for Associated Press)
Discussion Of the crime sit
uation after repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment can
only be predicted. And pre-
diction is always hazardous.
But the purpose of forecast
ing is the practical one of
trying to forsee what may
happen, and of forestalling
with due vigilance any evils
we can forestall through
knowledge of past expert
ences.
The illicit sale of liquor aided
by lack of public support of pro-
hibition did three things to the
world of crime
1. II brought new criminals
into the field. ~
2. 1t transplanted many of
the more fertile-mindeds bold
er criminals into easier and
more profitable work.
3. And, most important, it
permitted the former safe
cracker and stick-up man, abb
horrent types, to put their
feet up on the same desk with
responsible citizens.
1t was not unusual for "John
Smith" former safe-cracker
turned bootlegger, to visit a bust
ness man and end up in CONVEX
sation. They actually sat down
and talked.
The criminal became less of an
outcast. He came to know politi-
clans and some types of law-en-
forcement officers who were not
one-hundred percent scrupulous
and yet not wholly dishonest.
Bootleg Taints Politics
Before prohibition these politi-
clans and officers would scarcely
have known a safe-cracker and
certainly would not have as
sociated with him. But they did,
and do, associate with bootleggers.
The criminal forced the. officer
from a twilight zone into actual
corruption.
The result was that bootleg
rings had power with politicians.
Now, recent experiences
lead me to believe that this
alliance is .disintegrating.
Such political alliances of
criminal with iaw-enforee-
ment agents are breaking up.
Crime conditions are cleaning
up in metropolitan areas be-
cause revenue is slipping out
from under the world of
crime.
Here is an example. In the re-
cent trial of Roger Touhy on a
charge of kidnapping in st. Paul it
developed that Touhy wanted to
sell his house.
A Home Fit For Royalty g.t
That home was like a baronial
estate. He had shifts of guards,
a swimming pool his own tele-
phone system. He had offered
his beer plant equipment for sale
at $1,000, and the plant had a
capacity Of $4,000 barrels a year.
He must have seen the handwrit-
ing on the wall for his type and
for his form of making living.
Touhy had been picked up in
July with q gang in a high
powered car that contained six
guns which would have been too
big for Jesse James and bag of
ammunition that one man could
not have carried. Why did he
have thems
Generally, that situation Is
one we must guard against.
We prophesied that these
liquor barons would be turn
ing TO some other form of
work. Now we have the evil
dence that points in that d.
reetion. That means We must
be all the more on the guard.
But the department Of justice
is preparing by making a complete
record Of all bootIeegers in the
various areas. When and If

LEHMAN PLEADS
FOR FEDERAL AID
Former Banker Inaugurated
by Empire State to Suc-
ceed Roosevelt.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, January 2.-Inaugu-
rated formally today as New York's
Governor, Col. Herbert H. Lehman
called upon the Federal Government to
aid the Empire State in caring fer its
destitute unemployed" Whose number
he estimated at more than million and
quarter.
The former New York banker. who
entered public life four years ago as
lieutenant governor under Franklin
d. Roosevelt, called unemployment re-
lief the States most serious problem.
He expressed the hope that the Fed
eral Reconstruction Finance Corporation
act will be changed In way that will
make 1t easier for us to benefit from
this Federal source In meeting the needs
Of our unemployed" Under present
law, New York would be required vir-
tually to state that 1t was at the end
Of its financial resources before Recon-
struction Finance Corporation money
would be available to it. Gov. Lehman
pointed out the States credit Is sound,
but the unemployment relief problem
has now reached the point where aid
from the Federal Government Is needed
in our war against restitution and
want"
"The Federal relief BILL" Gov. Lehman
said, $50 defines the conditions under
which Federal credit may be made avail
able to the States for employment relief
that up to the present it has been diff
ficult for New York State to apply for
aid
THE time has come, however. when It
is absolutely essential that such appli-
cation to the Federal Government be
made by our State
IT hope the terms Of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation act will be
modified and a broader Interpretation
of the bill given so as to make it easier
for us to benefit from this Federal
source In meeting the needs of our un-
employed"
Notables of New York's Democracy
were on hand to take part in the inau-
guration of Lehman. Both of the men
who preceded Lehman in the chief ex-
ecutive's Office, Alfred E. Smith and
President-elect Roosevelt, were on the
program as speakers along with the
Governor.

BY the Associated Press.
GRAZ, Austria, January 2.-Police
and troops had taken precautionary
measures today to forestall violence
growing out of a threatened march Of
farmers against the city hall at Hart
berg. near Vorau.
All highways approaching Vorau were
barricaded with barbed wire and at
several points machine guns were
posted. Authorities hoped, however, to
break up any incipient rioting with
tear gas bombs.
The situation was largely a result Of
a farmers revolt against the authori-
ties attempt to compel the payment
of sickness insurance and other social
benefits by employers of farm labor.
There was danger that the trouble
might spread through all Styria.
The police were compelled to use
bayonets to disperse mob which
stormed the city hall at Vorau Friday
and a few days before two officials who
tried to auction a hog for taxes at
Rechberg were man-handled by a
crowd.

President Hoover, who appointed the
committee in 1929, says in foreword:
1T (the report) should serve to help
all of us to see where social stresses are
occurring and where major efforts
should be undertaken to deal with them
constructively."
He also points out that the survey Is
the latest Of series, beginning in 1920
with the report on waste in industry" "
compiled under his Craftsmanship.
The report covers multitude of sub
jects from happiness" to technology,
divorce, birth control, graft, bootlegging
and international relations
Near the end of the findings the
committee reports:
THE alternative to constructive So
cial initiative may conceivably be a
prolongation of a policy Of drift and
some readjustment as time goes on
More definite alternatives, however, are
urged by dictatorial systems in which
the factors of force and violence may
loom large. In such cases the basic
decisions are frankly imposed by power
