Wide reforms in court proceed ure which would bring more speed in prosecution, better po- lice systems, an. improved jury system an dthe elimination of "camp followers" are all neces- sary, he said, if crime is to be curbed. Along with all these. he added, there should be an educa- tional program of crime preven- ton carried on in churches and schools.
 During the question and answer period, MT. Mccormick described at length his "clean-up" of the situation at Welfare Island in New York, for which he received na- tionwide attention. The island prison was ruled by gangs, he discovered, which took for them selves the choice locations and the choice food. Conditions at Welfare Island before the clean-up were unbelievable. the speaker said.
 He denied that penitentiaries have become country clubs", pointing out that even the most modern Improvements in prisons were but humanitarian reforms.

Mrs. Lucille Quarry Mann, wife
of DR.. William M Mann, director
of the Zoo, has written another
book.
Like her two previous ones, it's
on wild animals-how they live,
what they eat, and what they get
out of life.
Now, if anyone is in position
to write about wild animals, 1t is
Mrs. Mann! Not only has she
travelled with her husband on his
scientific expeditions, but she has
mothered wildcats, baby lions,
bear cubs, and snakes.
Her latest charges were two
Abyssinian wild cats which trav-
eled more than 500 miles by boat
and airplane to Washington.
Their captor, Benjamin Lepow,
presented them to the President,
who gave them to the Zoo.
But the little Tables were Sickly
and rather young. So, for several
months, DR.. and Mrs. Mann kept
them in their apartment on
Adams Mill Road.
Wild animals, says Mrs. Mann,
are really happier, in captivity.
All they ask of life is plenty to
eat, a comfortable place to sleep.
and protection from their enc
mics.
If, for instance, you are not par
ticularly fond of dogs, cats or
canaries, it is perfectly proper to
keep a baby leopard for q pet.
That is, until it gets too vicious
for safety.
Whales, however, are taboo, says
Mrs. Mann. Who ever heard Of
having a whale for a pet?

IN CHAMBER CRISIS
Plots Course to Avoid Strife
Between Right and

BY tire Associated Press.
PARIS, December 4.-Premier
Pierre Laval took a 24-hour breathing
spell today to plot his course in the
Chamber of Deputies between the
leftists, demanding dissolution OF
"Fascist" leagues, and the rightiSts,
scoffing at fears of fascism.
After yesterdays tumultuous scenes
IN the Chamber, it was believed the
premier would make the maximum
promises possible concerning control
of political leagues, to hold the ma
jority of radical Socialist Deputies in
line when the Chamber resumes its
discussion tomorrow.
The radical Socialist course was to
be determined today at a meeting OF
the Chamber group. 1t was not pos
sible to estimate how many Deputies
had been swung into opposition to the
government as a result of yesterdays
debate. during which the Laval cab
met was charged with conniving with
the leagues, especially the Croix de
Feu.
Former Premier Edouard Herriot
was expected to act as the govern
ment's chief radical whip tomorrow,
with widespread predictions that
Laval would come through the crisis
with a narrowed but safe majority.
