State Cooperation Urged in
Program to Provide
Economic Security
By LEIGH MATTESON

PITTSBURGH, Jan. u.N.SO.
Capitalism's "two greatest weak
nesses"-unemployment and the
economic insecurity of the aged
vaere the subjects of discussion
today at the concluding sessions
of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science.
At a symposium conducted by
the social and economic science
section, Prof. Edwin E. Witte, of
the committee on economic Sc
curity, outlined the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration's program without
revealing the concrete recon-
mendations the President will
make to Congress when it opens
this week.
An "evaluation of the Admins
tration's program" was then at
tempted by DR.. Walter E. Spahr,
of New York University, and
Oswald Garrison Willard, publisher
and editor of The Nation.
Seeks Prompt Action
Both DR.. Spahr and Mr.. Willard
agreed a social-political crisis was
at hand, revolving about the prob
lens of unemployment insurance
and old-age pensions. Mr.. Willard
cited the rapidly growing spirit
of determination that we shall see
another and a safer economic and
social and financial order in the
United States" as a reason for i'm
mediate action on the problems by
the Roosevelt Administration.
Mr.. Willard expressed the opin'
ion that President Roosevelt
should urge Congress to pass leg
islation forcing the States to CO.
operate in a program to provide
unemployment insurance and old
age pensions.
Master of Industry
After quoting the recent state
ment of President Graham, of the
University OF North Carolina:
EITHER we are to master our
great industrial civilization and
give human beings security, or
we are to see it drift into un-
regulated elf-destructiOn."
Mr.. Willard declared:
"The President would be open
to graveSt cenSure if he did not
recognize this, and he will be.
open to that censure if he does
not move with all possible speed
to the realization of the two
Objectives which l have been
discussing"

JUSTICE LEADS
LAW TRIUMPH
OVER CRIME
Capture of Bruno Hauptmann,
Killing of DiIIinger and
Nelson Top Record
BY THOMAS F. CULLEN
International News Service

IntefnatlOnAl news SSENlCO
eliminating a year marked by
the triumph of law enforcement
over disorder, crime was vanished
not only upon its own bloody
field of battle but in the council
halls of deliberation.
Standing as a monument to
the victory was the momentous
conference of experts from all
over the land who reaSserted
the leadership of the Federal
Government in the campaign
against lawlessness and provided
for permanent command by the
Government of a continuing war
against vice.
During an epochal IL months
the mailed fist of the law fell
heavily upon gangland, dealing
defamation to the notorious Dill
linger and Floyd criminal organi.
cations, while the investigative
forces of the police, working in
exorably, penetrated the mystery
of the kidnapping of Charles A.
Lindbergh, jr., son of Americas
flying couple.
Hauptmann Tops List
Outstanding in the record was
the arrest of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, terminating two and
a half years of intensive detec-
tive, work by New Jersey, New
York and the Department of
Justice.
Next in Importance was the
slaughter dealt the underworld
in a drive led by the Depart
ment of Justice, ending the
crime-studded careers of such
''mobSterS" as John Dillinger,
''Babyface" Nelson, Pretty Boy"
Floyd and Clyde Barrow.
Important also was the legisla-
tive program enacted by the last
Congress to increase the eff
cheney of the governments law
enforcement arm by extending the
powers of Federal agents.
Militant Drive
The Department of Justice dur
ing the year, to quote the leader
of its agents, j. Edgar Hoover,
was turned from an investigative
bureau into a militant organiza.
ton" to give the underworld bull
lets and cold steel"
A death blow was dealt the kid
naping menace with the capture
last winter of Verne Sankey and
Gordon Alorn in the kidnapings
of Charles Boettcher, Of Denver,
and Haskell Bohn, of st. Paul.
Alvin Karpis has been named
by Justice agents as the leader
of the gang which kidnapped Ed.
ward G. Bremen, st. Paul banker,
and he is marked for capture as
Public Enemy No. /.

y Uncle Sam will supply all or
part Of the New Year dinners
tor some 25,0O0,OOO of his
Hephews and nieceS.
In the year-end balancing of
books this is the most amazing
tact found in the pages of 1894.
Roughly one person in every
i've in this country is looking to
Uncle Sam for all or part of his
daily bread.
In year that future historians
probbaly will write Of as one of
the most epochal in American
hiStory-poltically, economically,
hR1d governmentally-nothing is
more important to those 25,OO0,-
200 than their daily bread.
/. Many on Relief
Approximately 100000 of
81em are on Federal relief rolls.
Eome are in the CCC. Thousands
are employed on governmental
projects financed by the PWA.
The Army and Navy are in
cilded in the figure. So are the
hundreds of thousands of clerks
IN the regular Federal establish
ment, and the thousands of en-
ployeS in the emergency organi-
cation set-ups.
Farmers who have received Gov
ernment crop reduction checks
swell the total.
Even the members Of Congress
who make your laws are on the
list.
At least one out of five in this
country is wholly or partly depend
ent upon the Federal Government
for a livelihood.
The year has been a year of a
new high in the national debt
roughly $28,000,000, ,000-and the
peak probably not yet reached.
It has witnessed the regimenta-
tion of agriculture and of indus
try to an extent that would have
been flatly declared impossible
five years ago.
It has seen little reduction in
the huge army of unemployed.
Few Banks Fail
The year brought an insignifi-
cant number of bank failures, as
compared with the appalling num-
hAps IN 1000 onl
Business is better, considerably
better, than it was when 1884 was
born.
Many corporations have resumed
dividend payments. Many busi-
ness concerns resumed the prac-
tice of Christmas bonuses for
their employees this year.
Agriculture reaped some bene-
fits in 1884 also.
Wheat, not so long ago at 30
cents, crossed the dollar mark dur.
ing the year.
Nickel cotton went to IL and
"A cents and did wonders for the
cotton producing sections Of the
country.
Corn went up. So did live stock.
Other agricultural products went
mp with them.
So, incidentally, did the prices
you must pay for food and
clothes and shelter.
Political Upsets
Politically, 1884 was amazing.
An axiom of American politics,
that the party in power loses
strength in an off-year election,
failed to hold.
The Democrats swept into office
mis- fall in droveS. They won a
victory as great as the one they
enjoyed in the presidential year
Of 1892.
Contrariwise, the Republican
party, as a party, reached the
lowest point of effectiveness since
the Civil War.
But after the "Happy New
Years" are said tomorrow both
parties have tremendous problems
to face in 1895.
The New Year holds promise of
being as interesting and vital
politically, economically and gov
ernmentally as 1884 has been.

ington, N. j." will appear on the
front pages in Tasmania, Istanbul
and Port Said.
Millions of words will be sent
out of the little courthouse by tele-
graph and telephone to all parts
of the universe. The story will
command the attention of the
highest paid writer's for the next
five or six weeks.
Manner Unchanged
If Hauptmann is aware Of the
extraordinary excitement he gives
no indication of it. Guards who
have been patroling his cell today
said his demeanor has not
changed one iota since he was
brought to the Jail after his ex-
tradition from New York, where
he was arrested last September 10.
Supreme Court Justice Thomas
w. Trenchard, elderly, dignified
and a stickler for decorum, will
preside at the trial. Sitting with
him will be Judge Adam o. Rob
bins, of the Court of Common
Pleas, of Hunterdon County.
New Jersey will have about 10
lawyers in court, headed by David
T. Wilentz. The defense will be
handled by four attorneys, led by
Edward j. Reilly, veteran of 1900
criminal cases.
Parents to Testify
Principal witnesses will include
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, DR..
John F. "Jafsie" Condor, Betty
Cow, the slain baby's nursemaid;
John Perrone. a Bronx taxi driver,
who identified Hauptmann as the
man who gave him 81 to carry a
message to DR.. Condor; Millard
Whited, New Jersey logger who
declares he saw Hauptmann near
the scene of the crime and Mr..
and Mrs. Christian FrederikSon
who say that on the night the
baby was kidnapped Hauptmann
called at their bakery in the Bronx
for his wife, Anna, and escorted
her home.
The defense strategy is ex-
pected to revolve around efforts
to discredit the States star wit
ness, especially those who attempt
to place Hauptmann in New
Jersey on the night of the crime.
One OF the most difficult prob
lens confronting defense lawyers
will be to convince the jury that
Hauptmann is innocent, in view
of the fact that $14,59O of the
ransom money was found in his
home and that a $40 Lindbergh
ransom bill was in his possession
when he was arrested.
TrucklOads of Exhibits
Several truckloads of exhibits
will be brought into Flemington
for use at the trial. They will
include the kidnap ladder. a tiny
gun owned by Hauptmann and
found concealed with the ransom
money in his garage, road maps
showing the locale of the Lind
bergh home at HopeWell, N. j.,
the ransom money recovered by
the authorities, a chisel, ransom
notes and specimens of Haupt-
mann's handwriting which the
State insists are Strikingly sim,
liar to the penmanship of the
ransom misSiveS.
The town is seething as the
trial nearS. Every train is bring
ing newcomers. Excitement and
expectancy prevail. Everybody is
awaiting 10 a. m. tomorrow when
the celebrated trial will start.

You might not guess it by the
title, but Men Without Names"
is another of the Omen" cycle
which is so popular at this par
ticular time. And it's a real
thriller, from beginning to end.
Differing from the Warner box
office sensation, "G-men," in the
fact that it deals with the tracing
of stolen bonds and currency
hot money" in other words-the
film is of unusual interest due to
the recent Weyerhaeuser case and
the thoroughness of the Depart
ment of Justice agents.
AS "G-Men" so adroitly dis
played the inner workings of the
department and the training of
its agents, Men Without Names"

other branch, lie. the manner of
following lunches" the tracing
of all clues, the fingerprint ex-
perts and their methods for
searching through over five mil
lion identification cards, the "cloS-
ing in" when a goal has been
reached and the various styles the
agents use when working together.
Much of the credit for the eX-
element and the crisp, newsreel-
like manner of the production is
due to smart direction by Ralph
Murphy, whose megaphone punch
is as fast and as sure as the bull
lets in a real man-hunt. An ex-
cellent job, indeed!
