invariably the picture itself has beauty
and charm. Finally, there Is in these
paintings by Miss Smith a sense of
quiet and infinite calm, as of nature
at peace with herself and with
heaven, which Is, above all things,
the chief characteristic Of the scene
as it meets the eye Of the discerning
in the lovely Southland. After all,
are not these paintings as truly in

SCIENCE PRAISED
AS FOE OF CRIME
Hoover, Accepting Degree,
Says Detection Has Been
ReVo|utionized.

Accepting from Kalamazoo College
an honorary degree of doctor of SCI
ence. Director J. Edgar Hoover Of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation today
declared that science has revolu-
tionized crime detection and terrorized
gangland.
He said that scientific attention to
details" is responsible for the fact
that 80 per cent of the criminals
sent to prison by the F. B. I. plead
guilty rather than attempt what they
realize would be futile defense.
Addressing the graduating class of
the Michigan college, Hoover quoted
Volney Davis, now serving life for
the kidnapping Of Edward G. Bremen,
as saying to G-men: why should 1
lie to you? You know more about me
than l can remember myself. I ad-
nit the kidnapping. 1t would be use
less for me to deny it,
Hoover said the use of scientific
methods in law enforcement has been
q great adventure" the success of
which is attested by the record of
the bureau in convicting s6 per cent
OF all persons it has brought to trial
Free use Of the facilities of the
technical laboratory of the F.. B. /
and its staff Of experts is available to
all State, county and municipal police
departments Of the country, he pointed
out.
1t was in recognition of Hoover's
leadership in advancing the cause of
science In law enforcement that the
college awarded him the degree.
Hoover said Americas greatest
crime today is "oIr toleration of
crime conditions that help to create
national crime bill estimated at IS
billions of dollars each year" He
said there are more than 100000
serious crimes and 100000 minor
crimes. not including traffic and
liquor violations, every year. Muir
oers average 36 day, he asserted.
He called on youth to arise against
corrupt politicians" unscrupulous
attorneys and incompetent parole
boards"

LONDON, Nov. 16.-(UP)-
Rumors of breach between
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain and Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden over Britain's efforts
to find a new basis of friendship
with Germany reached the floor
of the House of Commons late
yesterday.
Chamberlain, rising at question
hour to discuss the new approach
to the Reich government, was
asked pointedly whether the de-
parture of Viscount Halifax for
Berlin scheduled today to consult
with Fuohrer Adolf Hitler had the
full approval" of Eden.
The prime minister declined to
answer the question, nor would
he say whether the visit of Lord
Halifax, lord president of the
council and veteran diplomat, had
been initiated" by Eden.
The foreign secretary was not
in his commons seat, and it was
announced that he was confined
to his home with a chill.
Chamberlain's silence was inter-
preted by some members, partic-
ularly those of the liberal and la
borite opposition, as confirming
press reports that Eden-who re-

turned from Brussels over the
weekend after directing British
participation in the far eastern
peace conference-was unaware
of Lord Halifax's mission until
it had been completely arranged.
Lord Halifax had not been
scheduled to leave for Berlin I'M
til Wednesday and a surprise an
nouncement that he would depart
from Victoria Station at 2 p. m.
today was believed to have been
caused by the reports of cabinet
dissension involving Chamberlain
and Eden and apparently inspired
hints in the German press that the
visit should be postponed unless
Britain curbed newspaper reports
regarding Germany.
1t was disclosed in London that
Chamberlain has decided to delay
friendship negotiations with Italy
until the Halifax-Hitler conversa-
tons arc out Of the way.
This aroused immediate suspi-
cion in fascist circles and Rome
newspapers last night warned that
Lord Halifax is hitting his head
against a stone wall if he is 60
ing to Berlin with the idea of
driving a wedge between Italy
and Germany"
