The Associated Press seasonally ad-

such a bill could be passed this year.
President Revived Aid Move.
The Intervention of President Roose-
velt brought about the new effort to
obtain legislation Immediately. Pre-
viously, leaders had about abandoned
hope of putting through a program
now.
The railroad unions had opposed
the loan bill after the carriers an

schooled man was needed also to de-
fine the terms involved in the ques
tions of the public good.
What is racketeering?" he asked
in an interview. Il defy any one te
tell just the difference between illegal
racketeering and just common good
policy in business or labor union ac-
tiyities. These problems are rooted in
the very nature of our social and eco
nomic system. Their solution chal-
lenges the university man.
I'VE need university men and wom.

tect crime; police our cities and coun-
tryside; man our courts; staff oul
prisons and diagnostic depots; super
wise PAROLES and evaluate our penal
system; engage in community crime.
prevention programs revamp our So
cial and economic system, and do re-
search to guide us into a more intel
ligent attack on crime.
''One of the most obvious hindrances
to crime prevention today is the fact
that so-called practical men are sus-
picious-Sometimes rightly-of so
called theoretical men. We have
trained men staining our diagnostic
depots studying criminals, but, unlike
the situation in Federal prisons, they
are not fully accepted by the wardens
and disciplinarians. The two groups
are largely pulling in the opposite di-
rection.'
DR.. Taft asserted another job facing
the university man was to help elm
mate politics from the treatment Of
criminals"
Just now we are at an advantage
in this attempt If we will take the
opportunity" he said. The public is
aroused over crime, and when the
public is aroused even the politicians
tremble. 1t is challenge to the uni
versity-trained man to replace the
spoils system with the genuine merit
system in the selection of prison and
parole staffs and of probation officers,
and to provide standards commen-
surate with the extraordinarily difficult
tasks involved.
Another challenge to the university
man Is to make our indeterminate
sentence law effective. Such a law is
basically important if we are to pro-
tect society against crime by adapting
the treatment to the individual case.
Prisons make men worse, not better.
We must, therefore, discriminate un-
der this law between those who will
be safer risks If released Immediately
and those who must, for the protection
OF society, be kept for their entire lives.
I'VE don't half know yet how GRIM
inals get that way. We don't agree
yet on how best to meet the vice and
gambling problems, and some of our
efforts probably make the problem
worse. We don't even know how much
crime there Is; whether it is increasing
or decreasing; nor what it costs us.
We need help from university men
and women"

Did you make any answer to the
third?" he was asked.
No, except I delivered the money
Mr.. Cash said he went to the
funeral home after the boys body was
found and there identified the pajamas
which "Skeegie" had worn the night
OF the kidnapping.
Asked by a juror if he recognized
the kidnaper's voice when he paid the
ransom, Mr.. Cash said the man had
{ not spoken.
