One of the best known safety
slogans in the United States is the
famous "STOP, LOOK and LIST
EN-" warning once found virtual
ly at every railroad crossing in
the nation. It's brief message
has, without question, done much
to minimize collisions between
automobiles and trains.
Yet, there are thousands who
still fail to heed this good advise,
and every year unnecessarily
large numbers of persons are
killed or injured, as result.
The railroads spend huge sums
of money annually to avoid all
kinds of accidents, especially
those at grade crossings. Grad
ually, these crossings are being
replaced by overhead or under
ground passes. Until the job is
complete, the motorists only sal
walton is to: "STOP, LOOK and
LISTEN"

representatives one of its fore
most authorities on constitutional
law for the battle. He is Hatton
Summers of Texas, chairman of
the judiciary committee.
Summers was pressed into serv-
ice by the government in its last
major contest of this kind. 1t was
during the Coolidge administra-
ton when the question of the
Presidents power to pocket legis-
lation after adjournment of con-
gress first was raised.
The supreme court ruled in ia
vor of Summers contention in the
case, upholding what President
Coolidge had done.
Point At Issue
While the briefs on both sides
hardly have entered the stage of
preparation. it seems fairly GER
tain the court will be called upon
to decide between two principal
contentious.
The senate's plea to the court
will be, shall premium be placed
on the destruction of probable in
eliminating records as means of
refusing to testify before a legis-
lative body? 1t will be argued
that unless such action be made
a felony, punishable with i'm
prisonment, the legislative power
of inquisition will be sadly Grip
pied.
The retort probably will be that
to bestow on a political body the
right to accuse, prosecute and
judge a citizen is going too far.
Obviously, it will be contended,
this power can be used by vim
dictive politicians. and probably
will be used, if the courts do not
check them.

VIGOROUS LAWYER
STARTS MOVEMENT
TO BATTLE CRIME
RECENT ARREST DEALING
WITH LINDBERGH CASE
BRINGS ON GREATER FIGHT
TO ROUNDUP GANGSTERS

WASHINGTON, Sept, 90
There is Hoover policy" on the
side of law today that augurs for
sensational turns before the last
is heard of this Lindbergh case ar
rest. Back of it is the vigorous
lawyer-sl nth, J. Edgar Hoover.
1t is, to use his words, mot
only to get the. criminals them
celves but also all those who have
aided or harborcd them in the
slightest"
When he spoke, it was the
country at large attacking crime
through the justice department
bureau of investigation which he
heads. In the lesser aspect, it
was a card-catalogue mind; q
mind replete with painstaking adj
dcnda by which to develop clues.
That power now is definitely
united with the police authority
boz New Jersey on one side and of
New. York on the other until jus
sftiee has been servd against the
killers of the Lindbergh infant.
No final disposition is expect
ed for some time. Two and one
half years of detailed labor had
to be put in before the big break
came.
The latest break itself presents
mass of minute possibilities. each
of which has to be tracked down
to make the "Hoover policy" a
more feared and valuable weapon
against the lawless.
Bill Search Continues
What does it mean?
1t means that simply nothing
will be taken for granted until
every last dollar of the $4,000
ransom that can be accounted for
is accounted for.
Less than one-half has been To-
Gated. Every bill above that is -
potential lead to one who aided
or harbored the kidnapers. Every
one spent has passed through
hands that might conceivably
have been able to point to the
guilty, but did not.
The best results will be gained
from more cooperation than in
dependence. The way the federal
and state agencies team up now
will be watched for that very rea-
son.
They have the advantage of
united national support. There is
none of this sentiment called
"heroizing of criminals" to deter
them.
