kidnapping racket, she answered:
"Kidnaping is the dirtiest

She smilingly denied she was
luxury-loving, but admitted she
was awfully indolent."
She remarked she had spent
her last wedding anniversary
with Kelly at the Frolics Cafe in
Chicago, which is not far from
Al Capone's former headquarters.

that if she lever gets out of this, "

ADMINISTRATION WILL WAR
ON BOOTLEGGERS; SEEKING
TOPROTECT DRY SECTIONS
Hope to Avoid Lawlessness

Following Repeal
By ARTHUR D. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. CUP)
The government was maSsing its
forces today to drive the bootleg
ger out of business and punish
other law viOlators taking advan-
tage of the immediate confusion
surrounding repeal of federal pro-
hibition TO produce or distribute
alcoholic beverages illegally.
Special attention is being paid
to prices. The policy of the adj
ministration is to keep the cost of
liquor low enough so the consum-
er will not patronize bootleggers,
and yet high enough to allow the
industry a fair profit.
This was the immediate prob
lem before DIR. James NJ. Doran,
former commissioner of industrial
alcohol, who resigned to head the
code authority of the distilled
spirits industry. The distillers are
compelled under their code to post
prices of sale with the Federal Al
cohol Control administration,
which has the authority to raise OF
lower the prices to meet existing
conditions. Members of the con-
troll board gave this phase of the
situation consideration today IN
the absence of Chairman Jos. h.
Choate who was in New York.
Government agencies swung
into the battle to exterminate
bootlegging with renewed interest
following President Roosevelt :

urged the nation to patronize only
those dealers properly licensed by
state and the federal government.

More Sympathetic Re-

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. (UP).
President Roosevelt today ar
ranged for further conferences
with Farm Relief Administrator
Peek, whose code activities were
transferred to the NRA last night.
1t is believed new conferences
might clarity the future course Of
the program and Peek's share IN
carrying it out.
High administration quarters
denied reports that Peek's resig-
nation is imminent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. (UP).
Powers of the agricultural ad-
iustment administration were
sharply curtailed last night when
part of it's code work was trans
ferred to the national recovery
administration by President Roose-
welt.
This change was announced by
the White House last night fol-
lowing a late evening visit by
George n. Peek, agricultural ad-
iustment administrator, as the
elimination of a sharp controversy
within the agriculture depart
ment, with Secretary Wallace re-
ported to be taking the side of
the brain trust group as against
Peek.
The White House statement IS
sued at II p. m. while Mr.. RooSe-
welt himself was addressing the
Federal Council of Churches, an
nounced that all codes under ne
gotiation by AAA would be turn
ed over to NRA excepting those
pertaining to manufacturers en-.
gagged in the first processing OF
agricultural products and hand
lers previous to the first process

/ This was interpreted to mean
that all AAA code negotiations
would be transferred to NRA ex'
cept those covering such indus
tries as milling, packing, canning
and others dealing directly WITH
raw farm produce.

would leave under the AAA dis
ltillers and brewers but not liquor

officials explained, however, that
the degree of supervision of the

is such that the distinction was

LYNCHING OUTLAWED
IN DRASTIC TERMS
By FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. (UPl.
Vigorous condemnation &c eli vino
condone lynch law was sounded
last night by President Roosevelt
in an address that called on
America to compel, through pub
lie opinion, a more certain justice,
and went on to predict that "this
beloved country of ours is enter
ing upon a time of great gain"
Mr.. RoOsevelt's speech was be-
fore the Federal Council Of
Churches of Christ in America in
Constitutional Hall. and was his
first utterance on the mob violence
that in the last two weeks has
rocked first California and then
Maryland and Missouri.
"This new generation" he said,
"is not content with preachings
against that vile form of collec-
tive murder-lynch law-which
has broken out in our midst anew.
We know that it is murder and a
deliberate and definite disobedi-
ence of the commandment, Thou
shalt not kill We do not excuse
those in high places or in low who
condone lynch law"
Mr.. Roosevelt's remarks were
interpreted as a singing rebuke
to Governor Rolph of California
who few days ago expressed APP
proval of the hanging by a mob
of two kidnapers and slayers.
The President continued:
"But a thinking America goes
further. 1t seeks government of
its own that will be sufficiently
strong to protect the prisoner and
at the same time to crystalize a
public opinion so clear that gov
eminent of all kinds will be COM
PEELED to practime more certain
justice.
"The judicial function of gov
eminent is the protection of the
individual and of the community
through quick and certain justice.
That function in many places has
fallen into a sad state of disre-
pair. 1t must be a part of our
program to reestabl1sh it."

enthusiastically of improved bust
