ROOSEYELTS VIEW
ON Bonus PAYMENT
President Sees Immediate Cash
Against Best Interests Of
Veterans

washington. Dec. 31.-(F-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, In letter on the
bonus issue, said Monday that "those
who advocate the payment Of these
certificates at this time for the pur-
pose Of stimulating business certainly
cannot have given the interest Of the
veterans much thought"
The presidents letter, dated Dec.
~. was addressed to Commander Gar
land r. Farmer Of the American Le-
gion post at Henderson, Texas. It
replied to q letter from Farmer, ask
ing for information on the cash bonus
issue.
II appreciate your letter Of recent
date" Mr.. Roosevelt said, land 1t is
particularly interesting in that 1t
confirms an impression that I have
had for some time; that is. that the
bonus question Is not well understood
even among the veterans themselves"
The president enclosed in his let
ter special memorandum prepared
for him describing the issuance Of the
bonus certificates and its insurance
features.
B0rfOW More IMAM worth
THE amount which Is printed on
the face Of every adjusted service
certificate" Mr.. Roosevelt said, lis
not the amount of the basic or orr
ginal bonus Isl, 400, 1000, 0O0) voted by
congress but is an amount plus Is
per cent added for deferred payment
which with interest at per cent COM
pounded annually over 20-year
period will produce the face or ma
turity value"
The president said another feature
was that out Of 100000 certificates
outstanding 3,O38,50O veterans have
borrowed 81 500. 00O, 900, or more than
the present worth Of their bonus Ger
tificates.''
7 feel sure that many Of the We
terans have not given the question
sufficient study to realize the vast
sums required to meet the demands
suggested" the president continued.

those who favor the immediate pay.
ment of the bonus feel that a good
reason for doing so is because the
government has spent millions Of
dollars on the recovery program and
that much of these funds will not be
repaid, while by the payment Of the
bonus the government will be dis
charging an obligation and by so dis
charging this obligation the money
spent by the veterans will do much

OF OFFENSES KNOWN.

The murder column includes all
cases of non-negligent manslaughter.
The figures for aggravated assault and
larceny, which are not given above,
also show a slight falling off during
the first nine months of 1884, under
repeal, in comparison with the first
nine months of 1888, although in each
instance the figure is larger than for
1882 and 1881. At no point in the
standard statistics collected from 1928
cities by the Division Of Investigation
is there any indication that repeal
brought about an increase in crime.
The main trend appears to have been
in exactly the opposite direction.
Why did the widely predicted post
repeal crime wave fail to develop?
No answer can be supported with
definite proof, and in attempting an
explanation one may be in danger
of erring as much as did the prophets
of a boom in crime. But at least part
of the answer can be made very
plausible, even If it cannot be proved.
Illicit Liquor Alive.
In the first place, the illicit liquor
traffic has not been wiped out. Only
three months ago the officials of the
Treasury and the Federal Alcohol Con-
troll Administration estimated that at
least half the hard liquor being con-
sumed in the country was OF Illicit
origin. At least part of this Illicit
liquor was the product of the small
independent local distiller who used to
be known as "moonshiner. But
in the urban areas bootleggers were
still operating, and in the dry States
the positions which they established
under prohibition remained practically
undisturbed.
While Treasury officials believe that
the new safeguards adopted to prevent
the flow of illegal liquor into legal
retail channels, coupled with per-
sistent efforts to close up illegal dis
tilleries, have greatly reduced the
supply of bootleg liquor since late
Summer, there is no doubt that many
bootlegging syndicates are still at
work.
In the second place. some former
members of the bootlegging profess
sion are now to be found in the
legalized liquor business. No one
knows how many.
However large, these two groups
automatically reduce the number of
men in the illicit liquor traffic who
| were forced to seek new means OF
earning a living. A third qualifying
factor lies in the unknown extent of
| racketeering and gambling. In some
cities there were and still are crime
syndicates which had many sources Of
| revenue other than the illegal liquor
traffic during the prohibition era. No
statistics are available to show
whether or not there has been any
increase in racketeering and gambling
since repeal, but if there has been any
increase it has not been sufficiently
marked to attract general public at
tention. Many observers think that
racketeering has decreased in some
cities as a result of the breaking up
Of well organized racketeering groups
by successful prosecution and by shifts
in control of municipal governments
during the last two years.
To whatever improvement In law
| enforcement has been achieved by
local authorities in many communities
must be added at least two other i'm
portant factors. First Is the success
Evening star., 1934-12-02

ldSI lew years Ol
ton a great many people con-
f1dently predicted that repeal would
usher in a huge crime wave. as boot
leggers and their allies in the illicit
liquor traffic, thrown out of their ac-
customed occupations, would be forced
to seek new sources of income.
All but a few of the most fanatical
drys realized that prohibition had
built up vast underworld, far more
numerous, far better organized and
far richer than any that this or prob
ably any other modern nation had
ever seen before. 1t seemed altogether
reasonable to suppose that with the
legalization of liquor these interlock-
ing syndicates and gangs, with their
great resources and ripe experience In
making living outside the law, would
turn to other illegal sources of profit.
The belief that for time, at least,
law enforcement officials would be
confronted with a problem of new
dimensions became almost automatic
in many circles.
The blunt truth is that the predicted
crime wave has not materialized. In
stead of an increase Of major crimes
since repeal there has been decrease.
Figures Testify.
Here are the total figures concern
ing several types of crime in II cities
of more than 100000 population dur
ing the first nine months of each of
the last four years:

criminals who could be reached un-

In every case," he said. Eve are
going after not only the principals
but all who assisted or who knew
about the crime before or after. In
the Dillinger case, for example. We
have gone after doctors. lawyers, and
all others who gave assistance. We
have made Is or 16 arrests in this
case. Heretofore. if you were gang
ster in Washington and I was
gangster in Chicago. either would
give the other shelter. We want to
make sheltering a criminal danger

sion of a crime like typhoid germ,
so that from the moment a crime is
planned the criminal is a typhoid
carrier and any person he touches will
be contaminated. No man can oper-
ate any length of time as lone wolf"
Difficult Prosecution.
Income tax prosecutions-with which
Mr.. Hoover has no connection-have
been another difficulty with which
the bootlegger and racketeer have
had to reckon. In the last six years
AL Capone and about 20 other rack
eteers have been sent to prison for
income tax evasion after efforts to
convict them of violations of the pro-
hibition laws and other statutes had
failed. About so indictments for in
come tax evasion are now standing
against other racketeers, including
such Capone lieutenants as Murray
L. Humphrey, Louis Lipschultz and
Thomas E. Molloy.
Department of Justice officials
frankly admit. however, that this
'left-handed" way of getting at rack
eteers is rapidly losing its usefulness.
Since the Capone conviction, they re-
port, racketeers have stopped using
bank accounts and safety deposit
boxes and have gone back to the
simpler tin box which was in vogue
before many of them became cocky-
and careless.
For bootleggers, however, the indi-
rect income tax approach probably is
no longer necessary, since bootlegging
is now a violation of the internal
revenue laws instead of the prohibi-
ton laws, and the Federal Govern
ment is finding that with the return
of legal liquor it is not so difficult in
the wet States to obtain convictions
by the direct attack. With internal
revenue officers on his heels and the
stern evidence before him that it is
dangerous to enter into any field of
crime under the eye Of the Division of
Investigation of the Department of
Justice, the future of the bootlegger
and his gangster aids is less than
bright.
