EARLY START PLANNED.
Moley to Undertake Study at Once.
Leave Is Arranged.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

staff Correspondent Of The Star.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, August 2.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt has not yet arrived at
any definite plan of warfare on kid
naping and other rapidly increasing
forms of racketeering, his present aim
being to work out a practical and ef-
fective form of approaching this great
problem.
Discussing this subject with news
paper correspondents in his study at
Krum Elbow today, the President made
it plain that he is concerned, but that
he wants the subject carefully studied
before taking any definite steps.
Law Synopsis Planned.
The first definite step in this study
stage will be to prepare synopsis of
all the Federal, State and municipal
laws dealing with kidnapping and other
forms Of racketeering.
This intense and scientific study Is
to be done under the personal direc-
ton of Prof. Raymond w. Moley, As
sistant Secretary of State, a recognized
expert of crime subjects. The Presi-
dent emphasized that Mr.. Moley would
be loaned by the State Department, so
to speak, for a few weeks.
According to the President, this pre-
paratory study and the assigning Of Prof.
Moley to the task, was proposed by At
torney General Cummings, whose de-
partment already has started in mo-
tion the creation Of structure to COM
bat crime
The President said he received a
communication from the Department
of Justice head yesterday in which he
was advised of difficulties being met in
approaching the problem, and in which
it was suggested that the President
ask Prof, Moley to make study OF
the problem, especially of the various
Federal, State, and municipal laws as
well as international laws. The At
torney General said that because of
different laws and enforcement methods
in the various States it had been found
to be a most difficult task for his de-
partment to make the necessary prog
ress.
Information Is Scattered.
The President, in explaining the At
torney Generals request said that the
information being sought by those in
charge of the Department Of Justices
campaign Is so scattered that it needs
an expert hand to study it all and work
out synopsis from which it will be
possible to intelligently plan for the
crusade
The President and Prof. Moley con-
ferred regarding this work yesterday,
