A clique OF liberals started the move
to break up Gen. JohnSoE's highpow-

It looked a deal was about to be
made until the next day. The two men
found that some of the publicity jobs
paid as little as $4,000 year. That Is

accustomed to getting along without

The result was that some one sug-

CUMMINGS WOULD
D|SARM GANCSTERS
Advocates Legislation to De-
prive Him of Chief Terror
istic RecourCe.

Declaring that racketeering has be-
come "a national disease" that is deep
rooted" Attorney General Cummings
today advocated legislation to disarm
the gangster and thus deprive him Of
his chief terroristic resource.
Catching and Furnishing individual
racketeers-such as the kidnapers In the
Factor, Luer and other cases-is help
full, he said, but not enough"
Many things have contributed to
building up the racketeering industry"
he told newspapermen in a conference
One Of the worst Of these conditions
is that deadly weapons have been al
lowed to fall into the hands OF GRIM
inally-minded people. Machine guns,
sawed-oh ShotguntS, knives. poison, gas
bombs and stolen automobiles are
among the weapons of the criminal.
Disarmament Is Urged.
IF the gangsters were disarmed, it
would be tremendous step for law en-
forcement. There are however, certain
inadeQuacies of the law The problem

situation can be legislated. Drastic
laws would help largely to disarm the
criminals"
The Attorney General blamed boot
Logging for establishing in this country
IAN affluent criminal group-armed with
money as we'll as guns. With money,
he pointed out. the gangs can buy more
weapons, furnish bonds. employ adroit
counsel and obtain helpful contact
with corrupt politicians
Another one of the problems OF law
enforcement, Mr.. Cummings said. is the
reluctance Of citizens to assist police in
solving crimes. Besides the dislike to be
summoned as witnesses, he said, many
citizens are afraid to testify against
criminals.
Witnesses Disappear.
Witnesses sometimes disappear" he
explained. Or they forget. They are
terrorized. Even in kidnapping cases the
families will implore the police to do
nothing. to let the family do the nego-
tiatlng. And they negotiate with gang

department OF Justice Is trying to
overcome a certain resistance" on the
part OF citizens to aid authorities, he
said. The resistance" has developed
largely as the result OF attempts to en-
force unpopular laws, he added.
The drive on racketeers must be q
long one" Mr.. Cummings asserted.
The approach must be made Scientifl-
cally. A vast amount Of facts must be
assembled before we can map a pro-

Find out il there is law in
your State governing this i'm
portant driving practice. If there
is, learn 1t today and observe 1t.
II not, follow this simple but
wisely accepted system:
When you want to stop: Ex-
tend your left arm straight out
with the palm turned toward the
rear.
When you are going to turn
left: Extend you left arm straight
out with your index finger point
ing to the left.
When you are going to turn
right: Extend your left arm and

today in an effort to hasten the
close of the transaction which will
release nearly $1,0O0,0OO of Mt.

Under the plan originally
approved by the Treasury the
Washington Mechanics and Saw
ings Bank would purchase suffi-
cient quick assets of the closed
bank to pay 35 per cent of de-
positors accounts Immediately.
1t is believed that officials of
both banks feel that other assets
of the closed bank are sufficiently
liquid to make a larger immediate
cash payment to Mt. Vernon de-
positors and much Of the confer
ence is being taken up with that
