F.D.R R. URGES
NATIONWIDE
i crime DRIVE

WASHINGTON. Dec. IL. Rl-A
mandate from President Roosevelt
for a double barreled attack on law
lesSness SET the national crime con-
ference TO work Tuesday On what Is
called the greatest campaign Of its
kind IN the country's history.
Five hundred experts who APP
plauded the president vigorously att
er his speech Monday night start
ed discussions and studies to carry
out Mr.. RooSeyelt's two suggestions:
That every law enforcement
agency from the justice department
down 10 one-man police forces in
hamlets should be coordinated.
2.-That q body OF public opin-
ion" should be built up to back
anti-crime efforts.
Attorney General Cummings
crime conference faces the task Of
drawing up this program without
treading on states rights or re-
lieving localities OF responsibilities
properly theirs. II seems likely the
Recommendation to come from the
conference will be a national GRIM
inological institute-perhaps a SORT
OF University with degree-granting
powers-to train peace Officials. en-
list the aid Of science and serve q as
national center for the exchange OF
information.
Calling crime "a symptom OF Soc
ial disorder" in the cure OF which
every social agency must be active
President Roosevelt told the con-
ference:
First. I ask you 70 plan and 10
construct with scientific care a con-
stantly improving administrative
structure structure which will tie
together every crime preventing,
law enforcing agency Of every
branch Of government-the federal
government, the 48 state govern
ments and all OF the local govern
ments, including counties, cities and
towns.
your second task is Of equal
Importance. An administrative
structure that IS perfect will still be
ineffective in its results unless the
people or the United States under
stand the larger purposes and CO.
operate with these purposes.
Il ask you therefore to do all IN
your power 70 interpret the prob
lem OF crime TO the people OF this
country. They must realize the many
implications OF that word crime"

persons who go to the theater feel
pretty much as I do that Shirley is
the most interesting of all the new
personalities to flash upon the
screen in the last year. OF all the
newcomers she is the only new one
to break into the box Office honor
list.
Shirley nov stands in eighth place
in the boy Office poll and if she
keeps on and is intelligently handled
in roles and supporting casts, she
will jump into second or third place
next year.

and her ability to grow was revealed
