NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Mrs

Washington and New York social
circles, is back from Europe
the only American woman ever
to have been made an honorary
member of the italian Fascist.
And Premier Mussolini recon-
mended it.
She wore the Fascist emblem

by MusSolini as she discussed to.
day ner, recent chat with II Duce
in Rome about crime and prison
conditions.
Severe Justice
Mrs. Drury asked Mussolini
why Italian prisons were virtually
empty. lie replied:
Severity. with juStice-that
is our formula in dealing with
crime.
"Any hesitation or wavering
on the part of those enforcing
the law is readily recognized
by the enemies of society.
Prompt, energetic, and, at
the same time, fair action is the
only course open to authority"
Begin With Child
MuSsolini added that the funda.
mental solution of the crime prob
lem lay in its prevention through
education of children. He said:
"The Fascist idea is to edu-
cate children with respect to
their obligation to the law.
Education prepares a child
physically and mentally for the
place he is to occupy in the life
of the nation. By the orderly
and systematic direction of the
expanding powers of youth, we
are eliminating the juvenile de-
linquent, who is the fOrerunner
of the criminal"

VET BILL VOTED
WITHOUT GUT

The drive to slash veterans
benefits was definitely crushed in
the House for the present ses-
sion today when it passed the
$1,003, 100000 independent offices
supply bill.
The measure carries 1866, ,838,-
634 for the veterans administra-
ton, an increase of $18,OO0,000
over last year.
No attempt was made to re-
duce veterans costs. Represent

j. 5, NEEDY PUT
At 22,000,000

More than 22,OOO,OOo American
citizens now are destitute and
dependent upon charity, Miss
Grace Abbott, chief of the United
States Children'S Bureau, today
told a Senate subcommittee at
hearings on the Wagner bill to
liberalize the 1882 general relief
act.
Miss Abbott explained that her
estimate was based in part on
Red Gross figures showing distri-
button of flour and clothing up
to December 81, 1882.
These figures showed 4,424,998
families had requested clothing
from the Red Cross and 4,751, 500
families had applied for food.
The self-liquidating provision of
the general relief act has proved
to be an almost complete failure,
Paul V. Betters, appearing for the
American Municipal Association,
told the committee.
Red tape in administering the
81 500, 100000 fund together with
high interest rates has deprived
cities of any substantial benefits
from it, Betters declared.
