G-MEN ON THE TRAIL

To the Federal Bureau of Investigation goes much of the credit for stamping out gansser kluiaP inp which flourished to alarming proportions year ar two ago There are still Kidnapping cases 10 pc sure but the nefarious business which was oelfig carried on by organized mobs has been curoeo ana many of the offenders are behind prison bars
 Now the FBI is directing it's attention toward cleaning Ip another evil with which the country has been ridden commonly known as the vice racket referring particularly raffcking in young women and girls National attention was again called 10 this old underworld tradea year ago when Thomas Dewey the young New York prosecutor and his snecial agents ran to earth Lucky Luciano and his ,,ohqters revealing that they handled millions of dollars in operating a vice racket in New York City. Since that cleanup those who were not apprehended have snread out over the country and the Federal men are making a countrywide roundup in an effort to stamp out what has to be one of the uglest sores in our social existence
 Already startlmg revelations have been made on the Pacific Coast the entacles these vice lords reaching into the smaller cities Just last week an arrest was made here in Juneau in connection with an investigation being conducted in Seattle and in other cities on the coast
 Whatever one may think of the question of cen tralized police power it is fortunate thing that we Nave developed in this country arm of the Federal government which reach over state and Terri toral boundaries and blast such rackets are now revealed in this latest cleanup Local authorizes muicipa state and Territorial impotent to cope with such conditions due to their limited powers.

the President jointly empowered to deal. Only in wartime are they inclined to tolerate such devices.
 To these critics an advisory committee is an extension of a new Presidential system which they resent as derogatory of Congress. Although Senator Bulkley of Ohio has a scheme which would make such a group of fciai the sentiment of the Capitol seems to be against the whole notion. If the President goes through with it. many of his advisers in Congress and in the Administration feel that crippling legislative opposition would arise.
 The later development of separate con- ferences with separate groups-the result to be condensed and analysed for Congressional and administrative action-does not develop this objection The direct and specific ap- proach of What can the government do for you?n followed by decision as to what the government is able and willing to do in the several fields would meet much of the criti- cism which followed the suggestion of a na- tional committee And it is significant that this criticism came from several quarters. from radicals who see an imitation of what they call fascism from constitutional thinkers who see the erection of another wall between Congress and the President and from parlia- mentary leaders who object to that new bar rier on the further ground that their access IS already barred
 But, regardless of the dispute over method there is a greater show of cooperation be- tween the Executive and the national eco homie interests than ever before. This is much approved except by those who have be- come convinced that the government can do but three things to effect recovery--spend, eliminate industrial and financial bgness, and strictly regulate what remains.

COOPERATION BETWEEN BUSINESS
 INTERESTS AND THE PRESIDENT

Despite the reports that emanate from Washing ton from time to time that the national administration and business interests at dagger points there IS little back up the theory according to experienced political observers at the national capital Rather seme these trained reporters say there is greater show of cooperation between the President and large business interests than before. And this despite some resentment that has made itself apparent In Congress because of the many conferences, they report
 Commenting on the situation, Arthur Krock, political observer for the New York Times makes the point in these words

Minority Control
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer) Historically speaking the strong man of the Senate is Allen Joseph Ellender junior member from Louisiana For l9 days the former lieutenant of Huey Long has held the floor of what was called the greatest deliberative body in the world.
 With the administration urging Congress to enact important legislation, with vital appropriation bills awaiting passage with score of proposals pending which touch the welfare of millions of people the Louisiana senator talks on and on and on relieved occasionally for short periods by pitying colleague but not dislodged from his possession of the floor
 And what's it all about? Ellender is conducting a filibuster against the antiylynching bill. He is also showing up the helpessness of the Senate of the United States. He is proving that the .greaest de- Lucrative body" is not deliberatve at all when it pleases some bloc to throw it out of gear
 The southern filibuster against the ant-lynchng bill started in the special session It was abandoned then on an agreement that a date would be set soon after the converting of the present session sideraton of the bill. The date was set the measure came up and Elender turned on the oratory
 It seems obvious enough to anyone but senator that the WagnerVan Nuys proposal for bringing Federal power to the task of ending lynching should after reasonable debate on its merits be brought to vote and its fate settled The fact of the oster indicates that foes of the bill realize it will be passed If allowed 10 reach vote. The fact that the friends of the bill refrain from of the coture rule indicate doubt their part whether they have a two-thirds majority to invoke the rule.
 Taking advantage of this situation the fbusters led by the talkatve Louisanan have held the Senate helpless. They scarcely hope defeat the bill on a roll call. They think they may. however force its advocates to drop the for the present session This would probably put the issue over till after the election and the assembling of a new Congress
 The Plain Dealer believes that the anti-lynching bill should become law. Regardless of ones opinion of the proposal however clear that this attempt to fllbuster the proposal to death amounts to denial of majority rule in that branch of government ordin- aIily most given to defense of the democratic process
 Ii the cloture rule is unworkable it should be amended as Vice President Dawes demanded more than dozen years ago. The right of unlimited debate lis fine theory which habitually breaks down in a crisis.
 We cannot believe that any issue now before Congress is great enough justify l9 days of conver- lsation by Allen Joseph Ellender

Husband SIaps;
 Divorce Asked

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 8. - Being beaten by ones husband in private is bad enough, but being beaten by him in public is something bound to cause talk, is the attitude of Mrs. Virginia Lyndon, nineteen, of Mid- lothian.
 She explained this to Judge Phil ip J. Finnegan, when she appeared with her lawyer, Norman Becker, seeking divorce from Patrick Ly- don of Midlothian. But apparently the beating had left no sting, for Mrs. Lydon found cause for laugh ter as she listened to other suits. ! Her complaint was that he ac- costed her on the Illinois Centrol Railroad platform in Midlothian, and. in the presence of other com muters, punched her so hard that he knocked her across the street.
