HOUSEWIFE LOSES
$43 IN NEW
SWINDLE RACKET

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26 CAMP
A well dressed stranger last Tues
day bilked Mrs. Roy Kortum of
$43 by means of clever conf
dence game which police say is
the first of it's kind to be brought
to their attention. Shortly after
her husband left for work the man
appeared, told Mrs. Kortum her
husband had won $500 on policy
game ticket, but that before he
could draw down" the money,
$43 had to be paid for receipt
which would entitle him to collect
his winnings.
Mrs. Kortum paid the stran-
ger the SAB, met her husband with
smiles that night as he returned
from work and congratulated him
on his good fortune. Her smile
vanished, however, as disillusion-
ment came and her husband told
her he had no ticket, had made
no policy bet, that she had been
taken for their hard-earned $43.

DOROTHY THOMPSON took ship
for abroad in 1920. She had $50
in her pocket, and in her heart
the determination to be an inter-
national journalist. For several
years she swept across Europe
''like a blue-eyed tornado" She
had knack of being on the spot
wherever history was exploding.
She got the last interview with
Terence MacSweeney before he
died Of hunger strike in an
Irish prison. She interviewed ex-
Emperor Karl Of Austria just at
the moment when he was making
an unsuccessful attempt to regain
his throne. Receiving tip that
revolution was about to begin in
Poland, she left Vienna in even
ing dress, and smuggled through
the first uncensored story of Mar
shall Pilsudski's coup.
In March. 1886, Dorothy
started her famous column, 'On
the Record" At the end of her
first year it was appearing in
sixty papers; today you will find
it in 1872.
Occasionally Dorothy Thompson
turns her wit and her keen knowl-
edge of human nature to fiction.
When she does, the result is some
thing that nobody can afford to
miss. Look on page six and dis
cover why she thinks that

repositories is not the soft racket
it once was, and that they wish to
retire while there is still chance to
escape punishment for past crimes.
Bank robbery, in other words, is
becoming lost vocation of the under
world, and all this has been brought
about by three years of intensive effort.
Law-enforcement can we'll be graft
fed by this achievement. 1t has been
the result of two important factors.
One was the efficient and whole
hearted cooperation of local and state
law-enforcement agencies in many
communities, which, working in close
cooperation with the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, brought about CO.
hesion of effort against which no
desperate could stand.
The other was the tremendous
assistance of Mr.. Average Citizen. He
gave an excellent portrayal of the
power, the effectiveness and the wide
spread psychological effect of mass
thinking, without which, am sure, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation could
not have achieved its proud record.
Now, whenever the Special Agents
of this Bureau begin the pursuit of
bank robber, they find avenues of in
formation open to them that once were
tightly closed. The keeper of the un-
derworld-den is no longer as tight
Tipped as once he was, no longer SO
eagerly disposed to hide the bank
robbing criminal and his "moll," or to
furnish him with aid and money. But
there was time when the bank robber
lived, and prospered, in literal Jungle
of protection.

IRIS popular these days for the aver
age citizen to deplore the wide
spread activities of organized crime,
and to add in the same breath that
the "ordinary fellow" can do nothing
about it. Never was statement more
untrue. The outstanding example of
what the average person can do to de-
crease crime is the rapid drop in the
number of bank robberies during the
last few years.
Since May 18, 1884, when the Presi-
dent approved the first of several laws
giving the Federal Bureau of lnvesti-
CATION the task of attempting to end
bank robbery, this form Of widespread
plunder in cases of national and Fed
eral Reserve System banks has been
decreased by about seventy-hve per
cent. AS direct result, reduction of
twenty per cent in bank-robbery in
surance in thirty-hve states was an
nounced some months ago.
Hundreds of bank robbers have been
arrested, tried and convicted. Several
have been sentenced to death, more
have received life sentences because of
their vicious activities. Several bank
robbers have been killed in armed con-
Aict with Federal, state and local law
enforcement officers.
Alcatraz Island has received many
of our worst bank robbers and high
powered plunderers, among them Har-
vey Bailey, Albert Bates, "Machlne
