Federal Leadership Aids
States in Crime War
BIZ James T. Williams, il.

the fingerprints received at this
bureau were of persons found
to have had previous criminal
records. This information was
sent Immediately to the police
authorities who made the orig
inal arrest in each case, and
to prosecuting attorneys for
use in the trials of these cases.
A most important adjunct to
the Identification bureau is a
special file of fingerprints of
all known kidnapperS and ex-
tortionists. And any law en-
forcemet official of the United
States can make use of this file
day or night for the asking.
How effective Is the work of
this identification bureau and
the Division of Investigation of
which it is a part, the Ameri-
can people have been shown in
recent weeks by the swiftness
with which two of the most
celebrated criminal cases of
recent years have been dis
posed Of.
On June II last, three police
officers and a special agent Of
the division Of investigation
we're moved down by machine
guns in the hands of gangsters
at Kansas City.

Getting Results

A few days after this mas
acre-on July 22-Charles F.
Urschel, of Oklahoma City, was
kidnapped from his home by
two armed men. He was held
until July 81. He was released
on that day upon the payment
of a large ransom by his family.
Attorney General Cummings
was able to inform President
Roosevelt on August IL that
special agents of the division Of
investigation had captured the
leader of the machine gun gang
Sters who murdered the four law
enforcement agents at Kansas
City on June IT, and that they
we're a part of the gang which
kidnapped Urschel at Oklahoma
City on July %.
In both these cases the guilty
grangsters were detected and
apprehended by agents of the
Federal Government Loyalty sup
ported by the State authorities.
The machinery of criminal
justice in these two cases rested
upon an effective administrative
system of criminal investigation.
To set up machinery through
out the United States that will
operate with equal swiftness in
all such cases is the problem
upon which President Roosevelt
is concentrating the attention
of Attorney General Cummings
and his able corps of assistants.

ONCE OVERS

Isn't impulsiveness largely
responsible for your lack of
success?
You want to get at whatever
you do without sufficient
preparation.
You must be moving and so
you keep your hands or your
body in action but they are
not .mind-directed and therefore
there is only nervous action.
But action of a physical kind
you must have and so your
forces are misdirected and in
effectual.
There are mechanics of a
certain sort, a technique about
everything that is undertaken.
But technique or no tech
nique you get mechanical &C
tion of your body, and tumble
into things and make a botch
of about everything.
Success is not hit and miss
action.
There is no stability, no re-
liability about things improper
ly performed.
But you have little use for
the rules given you by anyone
who may have tried to instruct
you about anything.
You say you just can't tie
yourself to cut and dried scien.
tific knowledge and it bothers
you to follow directions.
You have a certain way
about you and if people don't
like it, you can't help it.
The Washington times., 1933-08-19

You ask too many favors Of
your friends.
Almost anyone likes to be &C
commodating, but too frequent
requests are annoying.
You may have adopted the
habit of soliciting friends to
aid you in difficulties that you
should overcome yourself.
Often the conditions in which
you find yourself are of your
own making.
You exercise poor judgment
or no Judgment at all.
You go on the principle that
you can wriggle out of your
tight places some way, by hook
or by crook.
Isn't it true, though, that you
have to go to some friend, in
the end, to help you out when
you might have gotten along
without such a situation?
At present everybody has so
many asking aid that it becomes
almost imperative to refuse all
such calls, to call a halt for a
personal trial balance"
It becomes personally neces-
sary for most folk to exercise
all their talents and center
their minds on their own af-
fairs for a time.
To take stock Of things on
hand and prospects Of the fu-
ture.
Most folk can do about so
much with a diminishing in

Angel or Devil?

But no man actually knows
whether he is the devil that
some have painted or the angel
in disguise that his defenders
have declared him to be. 1t is
known, though, that romance
entered his life-that he was
the hero of an amazing love
story.
When he was still a young
man, travelling for a great mu-
nitions house, Sir Basil met on
a train in Spain an eXquiSitely
beautiful girl with whom he
fell instantly and desperately
in love. But the Spanish beauty.
as he quickly found out, was
pledged to another man, a scion
of royalty, none other than the
Duke of Marchena and a cou-
sin of the former King OF
Spain, Alfonso XIII. For his
lady, who. inexorably bound
by the customs of her class and
country, shortly afterward was
married to the duke, Sir Basil
waited for more than 80 years.
And then, in 1924, he and the
Duchess we're married, both
white-haired by then, but still
very much in love. He was
over 10, and the Duchess was
a grandmother several times,
but romance burned brightly in
their hearts, and for the two
wears that destiny gave them to-
gether their life was idyllic. in
Sir Basil's many mansions. And
then Lady Zaharaoff. one-time
Duchess of Marchena, passed
from the earthly scene and
zaharoff was left alone.
Perhaps some day, when the
secret archives come to light,
and dead mems letters shall be
read, we shall know the true
history Of this extraordinary in
dividual, this old man whose
soul is in the past, living out
his fabulous life in the sunshine
Of Monte Carlo.

ANY machinery of criminal
Justice" writes Roscoe Pound,
dean of the Harvard Law
School, must rest upon an
effective administrative system
of keeping the peace and of
criminal investigation"
To be effective, the Federal
system must be a model for
the several States, it must be
supplemented in the several
States, and between the States
and the Federal Government
there must be complete CO.
operation in the detecting and
apprehending of criminals.
BY direction of the President,
his Attorney General, Mr..
Cummings, Of Connecticut, is
undermining the Federal ma
chinery of criminal justice. He
has established the new Division
of Investigation and appointed
as its first director, John
Edgar Hoover, of the District of
Columbia.

of President Wilson and Of
which he has been it's most
efficient director for the last
nine years.
Under the direction Of Mr..
Hoover, the new Division of
Investigation will be given all
the funds and authority neces-
sary to make it a model Fed
eral agency with which the sew
eral States will find it to their
advantage to cooperate.
AS now organized, this new
division of the Department of

field offices in continental

Within the Division OF In
vestigation is the largest crlml-
nal identification bureau in the
world, In it's files today the
number of fingerprints totals
100000, and within recent

a clearing house of informa-

only for the 48 States but for

More than 1900 fingerprint

LISTEN, WORLD!

Why? Where? What's it all

Is there anything at the end?
Or is this just all?
I don't know. I can't answer
those questions. cant even let
myself ask them. Times pass

it will all be over-whether I
go or stay. I must choose
now. choose quick! Which is
the better-to live life safely
Ito risk life gloriously? Some
choose one way-some another.
For me there can be but one
choice
"I MUST PUSH ON"
must push on-through the
night of my own ignorance,
through the freezing fog of my
own doubt. Nearly everything
in me wants to stop. my
cowardice, my laziness, my
greed and conceit. Even those
things which seem noblest in
life. love and pity, decent pride
and ambition even these
things tug at me to stay. But
IT MUST PUSH ON"
For, though nearly every
thing in me wants to stop, one
thing in me wants to go on.
What's that thing? What's
that nameless urge in me which
won't let me rest, won't let me
surrender, won't let me be COM
Portable or content? I don't
know that either. Maybe it's
my personal soul, speeding on,
from star to star. Maybe it's
just the voice of life, crying-"I
want out!" Nobody knows. No
body can tell me what I'm all
about. Nobody can even tell
me whether it's wiser to go or
stay. And, if I do stay, most
folks will certainly give me a
hand-for it's the Stayers who

No matter what people say
about me. or do to me. /
must push on. In spite Of every

pain. Lsurels mustn't stop me.
Laughter mustn't stop me. Nor
threats. nor kisses. nor tears
..nor graves. nor investments
nor profits. nor anything,
however dear or dreadful, which
can possibly check the flight for
which I was created.
IT MUST PUSH ON"
For that is all that counts
the flight. Whether it be the
flight of my soul, or the flight
of life-that is all that counts.
To risk everything-to give
everything-that life may lift a
little higher toward the stars
that is all that counts. No
matter where it leads me, no
matter what it costs
IT MUST PUSH ON"
On through the night. E.

Through the blistering moon
and the fading light.
