parents predict he never will be.

children is developed, not inherited.
"They frequently take the course
directly opposite that of parental ex-

Then we must change their opinions,
kindly but firmly"
In the Richie home Martins mis-

He snatched fragile little bell from

Two left-wing student organizations,
merged into a single union for out
lawry of war, became the target to-
night of the Franklin County Ameri-
can Legion.
A Legion committee demanded that

had detected Commmistic tendencies
among student delegates.
The student meeting was thrown
into turmoil when Robert Calland, a
delegate from Ohio State University,
reported that book containing reg
istrations had been snatched from his
hand.
Police obtained from Arthur Bar
row, a former Ohio State University
student. an admission that he took
the book but dropped it on the stairs
as he fed before pursuing student
delegates.
While the Y. W. C. A. Board Of
Directors called a special meeting to
consider the Legion demand, Calland
accompanied police to headquarters
and said he would file q complaint
against Barrow.
Originally the student meetings had
been scheduled for the Ohio State
University campus, but the university

ELIMINATES GANGS.
G.Men Destroy Abduction as
Big Busi1ess-Every
Major Case Solved.
BY REX COLLIER.


Kidnapers and extortionists have
had a tough time Of it since the
G-men, bulwarked by the Federal kid
naping and related crime laws, set
out in 1882 to clean up the body
snatching and ransom rackets.
This period has seen the rise and
fall Of kidnapping as big-time gang
business in this country. Every ma
tor case Is listed as solved, with more
than 100 persons convicted, two dozen
notorious kidnapers sent to prison for
life, four sentenced to death and a
dozen ending their career on morgue
slab-victims of violent death by
lynching, suicide, gangland rides" or
officers bullets. The death sentences
do not include the Hauptmann case,
prosecuted under State laws.
700 Gases Investigated.
During this anti-crime campaign,
waged by the Federal Bureau OF In
vestigation, approximately TOO ex-
tortion cases involving Federal viola
tions have been investigated by Spe-
cial agents of the bureau and more
than $50 convictions have been on-
tanned. Many other cases are pend
ing, to which must be added now the
Milne case. Several extortionists have
been killed and a number committed
70 mental institutions.
There has been no major ransom-

structure.
A board Of Army officers, headed by
Col. w. S. Browning Of the Inspector
Generals Department., already is
launched on comprehensive per-
Sonnel study of each Army corps area
with view to making recommends
tions for specific readjustments.
1t is expected to urge a broad in
crease in officer and enlisted personnel
now serving in the Air Corps.
The problems of maintenance and
bases were illustrated graphically. the
War Departments statement said, by
the recent General Headquarters Air
Force concentration Of 325 planes in
maneuvers at Miami, Fla.
Quick Concentration Claimed.
1.-THE point was demonstrated that
barring adverse flying weather. the
entire G. H. @. Air Force can be con-
centrated in any part of the United
States within "a hours, if two main
conditions are fulfilled" it added.
First, there must be proper ad-
vance preparation Of ground facili-
ties; second, the entire logistics branch
of the Air Service must be studied
and reconstructed"
The statement said the problem Of
proper landing and airdrome install
lations at strategic points over the
Nation would be solved when money
becomes available for carrying out
provisions OF the Wilcox law, passed at
the last session Of Congress, authoriz-
ing system Of air bases In various
parts of the country.
A survey to determine where such
bases should be located and the cost
of various sites now Is in progress.
Servicing Problem Grows.
'The second difficulty, that of or
ganizng effectively the supply, re-
pair, station complement crews, ETC.,
is an involved situation requiring spe-
cial study and adjustment that will
affect the whole Army structure" the
statement said. ''The personnel ques-
ton alone must be worked out as o
new military problem.

others was that, while the air force

its size is augmented.
"And the complexity involves not
only the air service itself, but the
whole personnel and supply organiza-

small air formations is q relatively
simple matter, but combined strate-
gical and tactical use of large fleets
is going to demand much prepara-

IBpOssibLe to Pin DOICn

THIS fine statement of the case for blanket
Il prohibition of the sweating Of the young would
have filed me with a fine enthusiasm if it were not
the fact that I we'll remembered the eloquent edl-
toriaIs which Walter Lippmann wrote in the Morn
ing World maintaining that the child labor amend
ment would be a gross infringement of states rights
OF all the jam liberals, Mr. Lippmann is the chief
exponent. These gentlemen are vigorously progress
sive as to any change which happened in the past
and as to salutary reformation in the not too ols
tant future But it is always impossible to pin them
down as to readjUstments which may be acheveo
today.
= But I am not so very sure that they even succeed
in graspng and interpreting the significance OF the
SHOWS and more particularly, the frosts, of yester-
year In speaking of the freedom Of the press, Mr.
Walter Lppmann said:
1T has to be guarded. as the most sacred part OF
our heritage and the foundation Of all our other
liberties on the presumption that some time or other,
in the midst Of a crisis we can not now foresee at
tempts will be made to destroy the freedom OF the
press"
1t is a lovely phrase-"the freedom of the press
I wonder when We are going to have it. Mr.. Lipp-
mann might well save himself the bother Of pre-
sumption and the strain of foreseeing by simply
turning the pages of his memory book.
Has he forgotten that the freedom OF the press
became a pressed violet when the German hordes
threatened to invade our land by marching on Lege?
Is there no record in his highly organized mind OF
the excellent work he. himself. once did in pointing
out the fantastic nature of authentic Russian news
cabled here direct from Riga?

Let's Get Freedom First

T could not rise with the rest when I heard the
Il ringing conclusion of the speaker that writer's
and publishers should accept code after next June
because no license, no decoration, no official stamp
of any kind is necessary is desirable, is consistent
with the American tradition of the freedom of the
press"
It is said to be fools task to lock stable door
after the horse has been stolen But Is II not even
more aimless to paddock with protestations portal
which has yet to know the print of any hoof. Does
Mr.. Lippmann really think that when he hobs up at
breakfast in the daily press from Maine to Cali
fornia that his freSh-minted views are wholly
surrounded by other nuggets.
Where was he during the general strike IN Cali
fornia the campaign of Upton Sinclair and the
textile strike along the seaboard? Is 1t not possible
that here and there items which he mistakes, IN
hasty survey for pure gold, might turn to be brass
checks on closer scrutiny?
It is a fine thing to defend the freedom OF the
press but it might be even finer if we could first
obtain it.
