Dillinger May Be Means of Aiding
Federal Procedure Against Crime

its Jurisdiction beyond cases in which,
due TO the nature of the crime itself.
it Is impossible for the States ade-
quately to protect themselves"
With the Federal Government in
teresting itself in crimes that formerly
concerned local and State govern
ments alone, the question is asked:
Will there be created an American
Scotland Yard? The answer, accord
ing to the Attorney General, is No"
The desire is not to set up vast
national police force or detective
agency, but rather to have a compact
group of crime specialists who can
deal with crimes that battle present
officials The number desired is
about 600.
Those Federal crime fighters would
be adequately armed. if the Attorney
General had his way. He would pro-
vide them with airplanes, few
armored cars that could charge right
into gangster hangouts. high-speed
armored automobiles and all of the
accoutrements of well-equipped
fighting army able to cope with any
D
There even could be established a
national system of radio communica-
ton for crime-f1ghting forces.
! An example of how the proposed
new laws would work in practice Is
provided by the Dillinger case
The Indiana outlaw has killed
nfE in InHpr
existing laws, If caught, he would be
tried in Wisconsin in a State Court.
Upon conviction the maximum PEN
atty would be life imprisonment.
Had the proposed laws been in
effect, he could be tried in Federal
court for murder, with the penalty,
upon conviction, death. He has
robbed banks. Under present laws
bank robbery as State offense. Fed
eral officers are not supposed to en-
| gage in running down bank robbers.
| Dodging across State lines, Dillinger
as a bank robber could complicate
detective problems, delay prosecution
while extradition proceedings were
held, and generally slow up justice.
The suggested laws would put this
type of crime in the Federal category,
/ simplifying the procedure and in
creasing the chances of detection and
prosecution.
| Dillinger has transported stolen
property from one State to another.
This again Is now a State offense,
with complicated procedure involved
in apprehension and eXtraditlon of
the criminal It would become Fed
eral as well as a State offense under
the proposed statutes.
If Dillinger had kidnapped some
person for ransom and held him for
more than three days. an offense that
now is one involving State laws alone,
he would have had only local officers
to evade. The new set-up would bring
in the Federal forces and open the
Federal courts to the agents of the
law.
If Alphonse Capone. former No. l
gangster of the country, should re-
turn to Chicago after getting out of
Atlanta Prison and turn again to
racketeering through coercing busi-
nessmen or intimidating unions into
paying tribute to him or hijacking
goods carried in interstate commerce
he now would have only State officials
and State courts to dodge. He found
that simple in the past.
But the proposed new laws would
bring the Federal officers and the
Federal courts into the picture.

Schoolboy Patrol Parade.

Doubtless there have been grander,
more pretentious pageants in Penn
sylvania avenue, but none ever was
more interesting than the schoolboy
patrol parade yesterday. Congenial
weather graced the occasion, and the
spectacle of the marching children
girls as we'll as boys-with their bright
banners and their artistic little floats
was a memorable one for the crowds
that lined the curbs. The sun shone
out as who should say: Behold, this
is Young America passing in review!
Let golden light surround the scene!"
The American Automobile Associa-
tion sponsored the parade, and proper
credit should be granted for its public
spirited contribution to the cause of
human conservation. The District
Commissioners were not too busy to
Evening star., 1934-04-29
Annie Oakley Wins.

No petition ever brought to the
Commissioners ever bristled with such
weighty influence as the petition
bearing the names of Speaker Rainey,
Majority Leader Byrns and the chair
men of forty-one House commit
tees laid before the Commissioners
yesterday by House Clerk South Trim
BILE, pleading for the appointment of
James J. (Jimmy) Lake as member
of the budding boxing commission.
And perhaps no recent speech in
Washington has been so filled with
downright eloquence as the few in
formal words that Mr.. Trimble con-
tributed to the occasion of carrying
that weighty petition to the District
Building:
Jimmy is very popular on Capitol
Hill. Members of the House don't
have to pay when they go to the
Gayety. l just call up Jimmy and
he produces the passes. And Jim al
ways does this without any Crouch
ing. He's been doing it for years.
Dramatic scenes suggest themselves
to the Imagination. A stern impre-
sario sitting in his box Office. Comes
a call from Capitol Hill. Busy men,
bers of Congress must have entertain
ment. Must have passes. Never a
grumble. Never a tear. No Sinking,
no squawking-above all, no Crouch
ing. Squared shoulders, chin in the
air, the passes are produced. Panic
averted. Distress prevented. The
Nation, once more, is saved.
Beyond the residential requirement,
qualifications for the members of the
boxing commission which will admin
lister the most liberal boxing law in
the country are known only to the
experts in such matters. But to
members of Congress could there be
a better qualification than that which
Mr.. Trimble so touchingly credited
to his candidate? Not, one believes,
as far as the members of Congress
are concerned.

going at that rate. Indeed, 1t Is hard
enough to recognize q person sitting
in car travelling at half or even q
third Of that pace.
Dillinger has a peculiar counte-
nance, a side-slung jaw and alto
gether a distinctive personality. Yet
even such a man Is not readily iden-
titled from the memory Of a photo
graph, however well reproduced, and
especially in the flash of time re-
quired for transit past the viewpoint.
A direct conformation, with pause,
IS not always sufficient to permit an
accurate recollection of features.
With Dillinger in flight, known to
be huStling hither and thither In
escape or in attack, the imagination
Of those within the area Of his op-
erations is stimulated. Much as he
is to be feared-he is known to be
ruthless and willing to sacrifice a life
rather than take a chance at being
cornered-there will, so long as he is
at large, be plenty Of people anxious
to figure in the news reports as agents
Of his discovery. To be known as
the finder or tracer Of the outlaw
would be enough to give one a life
time thrill Of Importance. Hence the
eagerness with which reports are
made that Dillinger has been seen.
going this way or that, regardless Of
the utter unlikelihood of the encoun-
ter and the virtual impossibility Of
actual identification.

The idea of being kept after school |
has had, for the average American, for
a great many years, unpleasant asso-
Citations. There probably are few &C
tive persons on the scene today who
have not, at some time, been required
to stay after school and write some
sentence a hundred times or perform
some other tedious task. The whole
idea connotes crime and punishment.
1t seems quite probable that there
will come a change in attitude toward
the idea and that in the future stay
ing after school will become privi-
lege to be anticipated with pleasure.
Officials of the United States Govern
ment are no little concerned with the
idea of the planned life and the plan
ned economy. There are all sorts OF
committees cooperating with branches
of the Government in the study Of
planned existence. 1t is a part OF the
new deal in its humanitarian aspects.
In this connection the schools are
being looked upon as having rich
potentialities. The Government, as
no American Government ever has
before, has become concerned with
the social organization in much
broader terms than those of law en-
forcement. 1t has become a part OF
the policy of the new deal to bring
about the shortened work day and
the shortened work week. AS an
emergency measure this has been
pressed in the interests Of re-employ-
ment. officials have desired TO short
en- each mans task so that there
would be more tasks to go around. So
many are the labor-saving systems and
devices that full-time work of the
population no longer is required to
produce what is required.
With the Government and, to
certain extent, industry, committed
to shortened working hours, the Ques-
ton of leisure increases In impor-
tance. Leaders do not particularly
harp on the old disciplinary idea that
there is always mischief for idle
hands to do. But they do see oppor-
tunities for a larger life, provided the
new leisure of the millions Is en-
ployed to the best advantage. 1t
was the poet Burns who observed
that ito those fatigued with close en-
ployment bit of rests sweet en-
joyment" but his remark was made at
a time when it was necessary for all
hands to work from dawn to dark in
order to make even a meagre living.
Mere rest. the simple relaxation of
the muscles after long hours. was
enough fun for almost any one, ac-
cording to the old light. Most Of that
has changed and now the question of
the employment of leisure-ample
leisure-is recognized as a social prob
lem.
Expensive Equipment Idle.
Not only officials of the Office of
Education and other Government off,
cialS at Washington but leaders of
the National Education Association
are giving thought to an increased
use of the schools in the employment
of this new and, one might almost
say, enforced leisure. The American
people have always been great cham
pionS of the public school idea. While
there are many private schools in the
country, the public school is the chief
agency of American education,
whether it be the one-roomed rural
school, the city grammar school and
high school, or the land grant schools
and State universities. The public
idea has always been strongly
stressed.
