GOVERNMENT
TO FIGHT CRIME
Attorney General Cummings
Finds That the Public
Demands Action
STATES TO COOPERATE

Washington.-Declaring the gov
ernment's war on crime must go
on and must succeed" Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings ap-
pealed to the American people to
continue support. Mr.. Cummings
said:
There is no doubt that crime, In
its modern phase in the United
States presents a most sweeping
challenge to our national pride, a
challenge to the prestige Of gov
ernment itself.
Moreover, it is a challenge that
cannot be met unless our people
are determined that it shall be
met"
Demand for Action.
Continuing, the attorney general
asserted:
Public opinion has at last be-
gun to assert itself in the field Of
crime. 1t is not an opinion that
impinges alone upon the federal
government. 1t begins to affect all
governmental authorities through
out the nation, whether their juris-
diction be great or small"
Striking vigorously at inferior
criminal magistrates, such as JUS
tices of the peace, the attorney gen.
eral cited many difficulties beset-
ting enforcement officers. These,
he said, include magistrates who
do not know the law, others who
owe their positions to political con-
siderations, petty jealousies be-
tween enforcement agencies and
incompetence of unframed police
officers.
Urges Coordination.
Urging states to establish their
own departments of justice, bring
ing all enforcement agencies of
each state into a well-regulated ma
chine, he declared one Of the ma
jor problems on which he Is en-
gagged concerns coordination of fed
eral and state agencies. He said:
Il have long visioned the day
when the Department Of Justice
should be not only cooperating
agency, but an effective force, stim-
ulating activity In many quarters.
There is no reason why our exist
ing school of instruction should
not be amplified so that intelli-
gent and serious minded representa-
tives from the various state and
municipal law enforcement agen-
cies may have an opportunity to
come. to Washington at certain in
tervals. to study with us and to
our mutual advantage, these fas-
cinating and important matters
which are the common concern Of
all good citizens"

BLACKBIRD CHICKEN THEFT
John Green Held For Court For
Taking Eight From +. f. Barcus


Taking Eight From f. F. Barcus
John Green, of near Blackbird,
was held in $500 bail Monday af-
ternoon by Magistrate Hodgson, of
Townsend, for General Sessions
Court on the charge of stealing
eight chickens from Edward F.
Barcus of Blackbird. Green is al
legged to have sold three of the
chickens to Levy Court Commits
sioner Walter Lee, of Townsend
shortly after they were missed
from their chicken house last Fri
day. Mr.. Lee had no suspicious
the chickens were stolen and
thought that Green was a poor
chicken raiser endeavoring to sell
some of his birds to obtain food.
When Barcus counted his chickens,
which he frequently does he found
eight missing and began inquiring
among other farmers as to whether
they had purchased any chickens
recently. 1t was a simple matter
to solve the disappearance of the
chickens as they were Jersey
Giants, breed rarely seen in the
neighborhood. Commissioner Lee
was witness against Green in the
case.

Safety Away From Home

The family Of a prominent
motor car and airplane manu-
facturer, has been sent to
England to save its members
from the threats of kidnap-
ers. The attention of the
lowest denizens Of the under
world had been shown in a
number Of averted attempts
in recent months and it is said
to have been on the advice of
police that the manufacturer
sent his family out of the
country for protection.
There is a lot to think about
in that situation. 1t contains
a compliment for England,
where people of all degrees
are safe, but nothing pleasing
to Americans in its intimation
that persons Of any means are
increasingly unsafe in the
United States.

American crime problem is
dramatized in this flight of a

Constitution and Crop Control

Constitution ana crop COntfOl
New Deal legislation has
been having a sorry time in
the courts during the past few
months, says The Morning
News: Nearly all of the ma
jor provisions of the NRA
have been declared unconsti-
tutional in one district court
or another, and public doubt
about the legislation has
scarcely been lessened by the
Administrators evident re-
luciano to take some of these
adverse rulings to the Su-
preme Court.
"The Kerr-Smith Act, which
sought to reduce and control
tobacco production, is the lat
est of the new laws to stumble
over the Constitution. This
act, which is similar in princi-
pie to the Bankhead cotton
control law, levies penalties on
growers who refuse to join
the AAA program to adjust
production. The penalties
consist of a tax of 25 per cent
of the sale price of the 1884
crop on all tobacco grown
without contracts with the
Secretary of Agriculture and
a tax of 33 1-3 per cent on un-
authorized tobacco in the 1885
crop.
Judge Dawson, in ruling
on the case before him at
Louisville, Kentucky, did more
than declare the law unconsti-
tutional. He went on to imply
that those who framed the
law knew it was illegal at the
time.
"The production Of tobacco,
in his opinion, is purely intra-
state business and not subject
to Congressional control. The
fact that the wording Of the
law was drawn from the taxa
tion and commerce clauses of
the Constitution does not
make it legal"

Bits Of News Gathered From
Washinqton's Night WAY

Dixie Dyer, the new vocalist at
the Ranch, is the low-downest
blues singer this town has heard
in some time. You ought to hear
her go on Mood Indigo. Emory
Daugherty attended the premiere
Of Jimmy Harris and his band at
the Gardens, as did Pete Macias.
Ethel Pastor is still packing
them in at the Troika. Her draw
ing power Is a thing to marvel
at. . Alice and Bunny, did not ask
their last names, are the stand
outs in the Lotus line of yeoman-
cites. Milton Davis, the Hamil-
tons maestro, has several new
conundrums to spring on any in
nocent person. >.
Julie Dell Zimmerman, Jock
MacLean. Eleanor Roosevelt and
Middle Train seemed to be enjoy
ing themselves the other night in
the Heigh-Ho tap room. Ethel Mae
Taylor and Kitty Fuqua were
there also. The leg injury Kara
vaieff experienced his opening
night at the Troika is all well
again now. You should see him
step. Mike Ferra, pianist in Max
Loew's Shoreham orchestra, is as
versatile as they come. He plays
guitar, bass fiddle, trombone and
piano, and plays them all well.
Why does Ray Beck, when he
sings over the air, always hold
his hand over his left ear? Won
der why? Understand there are a
group Of star musicians in the

days. Yes, the Cotton Club thriveS
on cold weather, as the show in
side is so hot, the briskneSS Of the
air is needed as a neutraliZer.
Tommy Myles and his is compoS-
ers get better and better each day,
if such a thing is possible. In case
there are a few people who have
not been to the Cotton Club, let
me remind you tn at the floor
shows are presented twice nightly,
at 1880 and 2 a. m.
Buddy Harmon an d his May
flower Lounge orchestra are truly
stepping forward. This versatile
group Of musicians can now keep
you entertained the whole evening
with various features such as vocal
and string duos, extra fine special
arrangements a nd many other
little bits which are original as
well as nice to listen to. And in the
lounge the other night were Mr..
and Mrs. Sam Guinness and Alfred
Guinness, who were imbibing a
bit of stout. But then, who has not
heard of Guinness Stout?
Karavaieff, the sensational
dancer at the Russian Tfoika, is
never content to rest on his lau-
rels. He has now added two more
dance routines to his already large
category. The first is a panto-
mime which he did in Pavlowa'S
ballet and the second is a Rus
sian dance done in slow tempo,
which refuteS the theory that all
Russian dances are fast and furi-
Gus. This latter number is differ
ent from anything else you have
ever seen this world-famouS star
do. Do not miss it.
Child'S Gingham Club Is eSpe-
cially proud Of its floor show this
week, which features the rhumba
and tango dance team Of Don and
Dolores. Also on the bill is Ber.
ME Pincus, the singing newsboy,
and Macy and Farber in piano
novelties. Phil Lynch and his
WOR nine-piece orchestra supply
the music. For those of you who
do not know, there are three floor
shows nightly at this popular
spot, 7:45, 11:00 and 100 a. m.
Do not forget that Child's delici-
GUS food is served in the Gingham

ment of Stone Villa had to make

Of them had eaten so much that

tainly speaks well for the dinners
they serve at this atmospheric
spot. And just because Thanks

that the turkey season is finished.

Eve Davis is certainly packing

ever she steps before the mike,

They are still talking about the
swell party that Guy Scott gave
at his Club Habana Wednesday
night to celebrate the first ami
versary of the club. Among
those contributing towards the
fun where petite Marie Rose
Darling (press agented by Paul,
the headwaiter), who tap danced
like she enjoyed it; Bert Granoff,
who sang till he was out Of
breath: Moe Baer, who led his
orchestra in spectacular fashion,
and Nadine and Girardo, who
danced like they never danced
before. And to top all the above,
Guy Scott cut the 50-pound cake
himself. There should be more
of such affairs.

It is seldom that an enter

that is exactly what Eileen Mer-

haired duchess of sophistication,
who is acting as mistress Of cere-

put Maryland Club Gardens into
an uproar. She should stay a
long time. Tonight is the last
chance you will have to see
Garron and Bennett dance. They
should be on your must list.

Matt Windsor will inaugurate
. new policy in his Club Volga
Boatman cocktail lounge, start
ing this afternoon. He intends
to put on a small floor show in
this atmospheric spot every
afternoon. That means Michel
Michon, Anna Sablukova, Anton
Gorloff and several other stars
will sing and dance for you.
This new idea should help to
make the spot click. And today
is the day luncheonS are served
upstairs, with music by Michel
Michaeloff and his orchestra.
The popular Lotus Restaurant
Is presenting this week the best
show that has been at this pop
ular dine-dancery in long time.
First and foremost are the Earl
Lindsay Girls, eight Of them,
whose routines and costuming
are really good. The principals

Walker, eccentric and musical
comedy dancers. In support is
the ballroom team of Patricia

Capitolians supply the dance

ing the vocals.
Pete Macias. who has been
dance team crazy since he opened
his club over two years ago, is go

next week. In spite Of the fact
that the majority of entertainers
who have been at Heigh-Ho have
