CRIME CUT HERE,
BUT TGROWS|NU.S.
81 Per Cent Drop in District
Attributed to Enforcement
and Public Opinion.

An aroused public opinion in sup
port Of better law enforcement and a
more effective joint attack on law
lessness by police, prosecutors and
judges have caused a sharp reduction
in serious crimes in Washington for
the FIRST six months of this year, ac-
cording to a bulletin issued yesterday
by the Washington Criminal Justice
Association.
During the half-year period which
ended June 80 last, the association
announced, major criminal offenses
dropped 37.5 per cent from the 1887
figure for similar period. The de-
cline here was the more remarkable
because crime figures for the Nation
at large increased during the first
half of this year.
While police of the country in gen.
eral were being confronted with more
robberies, housebreakings and grand
larceny cases than year ago, Wash
ington police reported ATT less cases
OF serious theft, 642 less burglaries, 257
less holdups and purSe-snatchings and
1875 less cases of serious assault.
Speedier Justice Is Factor.
DR.. James A. Nolan, managing di-
rector of the association, attributed
the improved conditions to several fac
tors, including influence of the Grim
inal Justice Association, cooperation
of police and prosecutors, closer SUPER
vision of bail-bond activities, sitter
sentences by the courts and widespread
public support of efforts to reduce
crime.
Speedy disposition of criminal cases
in the courts and creation of a pick
up squad by the Police Department
also have had an important be airing
on the situation, DR.. Nolan said.
A breakdown of statistics gathered
by the association for the first hall
of the year showed that 2,427 serious
crimes of the type surveyed by the

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of War Woodring can
celled a West Coast speaking engage
ment yesterday on the grounds OF
pressing Government business.
His announcement that he would
remain in the Capital, instead OF
going to Los Angeles to address the
American Legion's national conven-
ton tomorrow, was taken widely to
mean that President Roosevelt might
call another cabinet meeting soon to
discuss the European crisis.
The gravity of the foreign situation
impelled the President himself to can
eel a speaking engagement earlier in
the day.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary OF
State Hull were in close touch
throughout the day, although they
had no announced meeting. Presi-
dental aides said Secretary Hull and
other State Department officials had
been given right of way into the
Presidents office at any time.
Hull Unusually Grave.
The secretary was unusually grave
when he met correspondents at his
press conference. He disclosed there
had been informal discussions relative
to the United States taking over
Czechoslovakian interests in Germany
in case of war, in line with an
established diplomatic procedure. Mr.
Hull said no formal step had beer
taken by the Czechoslovakian govern
ment, however, and that no action
had been taken on the approach made
through consular officer.
Secretary Hull declined any COM
ment on other phases of the foreign
situation He said the Department
had not taken up the question oi
possible revision of the Neutrality Act
or Of the johnson Act, which denies
credit in this country to governments
which still owe us war debts.
President Roosevelt Cancelled an en-.
gagement at Chattanooga, Tenn.
where he was scheduled to speak Tues.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE American
Medical Association today upset ira

icy on health and welfare which some
members of its house of delegates
termed progressive and almost revo-

The delegates, meeting in special

proved with few dissenting votes or
objections five recommendations which
agreed in most major principles with
the national health program outlined
two months ago by President Roose-
.velt's 1nter-Departmental Committee
'on Health and Welfare.
That committee had declared that
the health Of the people was a direct
concern Of the Federal Government.
The medical association agreed today
that the health Of impoverished per-
sons should be protected with the use
Of State and Federal funds when nee
essary.
The Presidents committee urged es-
tablishment of q Federal department
of health, the secretary of which would
be member Of the cabinet. The as
sociation agreed, with the provision
that "he must be physician"
