Another result of the round table
on means of improving Washing
tons crime control machinery was
an announcement by Commissioner
Hazen that he would call similar
conferences each month, for an ex-
change of ideas between law en-
forcement and prosecution ofiicials.
Mr.. HaZen announced the new
practice of detailing 125 additional
policemen for extra hours duty
after nightfall would be continued
indefinitely.
I'VE could use as many as 500 more
policemen" said Mr.. Hazen, but, Of
course, we do not expect to get that
many. I will suggest an increase Of
100 men during hearings on the 1941
fiscal year budget. I hope we can
get some increase. It seems to me
that we have proved the case for
more men"

UIierior Motives !,
In Census Income
Questions Seen
Doto Moy Be Used for
Tox Purposes or Army
Mobilizing. Tobey Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Tobey. Republican, of
New Hampshire declared last night
that the people were becoming
suspicious that census information
might be used as q basis for ad-
ditional taxation or for Army mo-
bilizing.
The author Of q resolution to
eliminate questions regarding per-
sonal income from the 1910 census,
Senator Tobey said in an address
prepared for radio delivery:
There is growing suspicion that
the Government has Interior mo-
tives in inquiring into the salary
income Of the low income groups
for the first time, because the
national debt has almost reached
the $45, 900 900 900 limit, end the
Government must find new sources
to tap for tax purposes, and is
anxious to learn the wealth Of all
classes to be taxed If we get into
war.
Mobilization Plan Ready.
TN addition, all male citizens,
IA years and over, are required to
tell the census taker what type of
work they are physically able to
do. Note that the question dosen't
ask what they are mentally equipped
to do, but physically. II this In
formation were sought for purposes
Of unemployment, it would include
both mental and physical capacity,
and women as well as meE.
"We know that the War Depart
ment has a mobilization plan drawn
up and ready to be put into effect
on immediate notice, and the opinion
Is growing that this information
about your physical capacity is
sought for war purposes"
Senator Tobey,s resolution, ap-
proved, to 2, by a Senate COM
merce subcommittee, will be acted
upon by the full committee Tuesday.
Senator Tobey said last night that
there would be close vote, and
urged that citizens write to their
Senators in protest against the in
come questions.
Noble Disputes Contention.
Senator Tobey contends that the
census law does not authorize ques-
tions about income, but this was dis
puted by Edward J. Noble, Under
secretary of Commerce, in q letter
yesterday to members of the Senate
committee.
Mr.. Noble said the law authorized
inquiries relating to - unem-
ployment." He added:
If you engaged an auditor to
make d study relating to- notion
picture theater, for the purpose of
evaluating that neighborhood and
that theater, you would not expect
him to come back merely with a
report that 125,000 people bought
admissions. It would be vital for
you also to know whether they
bought 10 cent or So cent
tickets. 80
"The Nation never yet has had a
complete picture of the extent and
effect of unemployment and under
employment. The census of 1910
can give you this picture If the in
Quiries on wages and salary are
retained"

PiHman Says Time
Is Ripe for NeuiraIs
To Press for Peace
War to 60 On to Bitter
End if Armistice by
Summer FuiIs, He Asserts

Senator Pittman Of Nevada de-
elared last night that the time is
ripe for neutral countries to 'ham-
mer for the thought of peace" and
warned that unless an armistice is
enected before summer, war in
Europe will continue to the bitter
end.
The chairman of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee said that
II an armistice could be induced
for 30 days and fear allayed for
that space Of time, there would be
an opportunity for the neutral
powers to "offer their services" to-
ward = settlement OF the differ
ences responsible for conflict.
He characterized the mission Of
Undersecretary of State Welles as a
splendid undertaking on the part
Of the President" and said Mr..
Welles had been sent abroad to
make further efforts to bring about
q cessation of war and an adjust
ment of the controversies that are
the cause of war"
Speaks at S. A. E. BANQUET.
Senator Pittman spoke at the
B4th anniversary founders day ban
quet of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fra
ternity, Of which he is member,
at the Carlton Hotel. His talk was
BROADCAST to the Nation.
Tracing the course of war in
Europe and Asia, Mr.. Pittman de-
plored the invasion of peaceful ma
tions and said the Scandinavian
countries other than Finland were
Threatened with determination"
that Rumania is being forced into
an "untenable position" and that
the Balkan states are trembling in
fear of conquest"
when this war reaches the apex
Of its intensity" he said, ats re-
suits as far as destruction of life
and civilization are concerned will
be as mountain to q molehill
by comparison with the last war"
while the invocation of the Neu-
trality Act and the keeping of our
shipping from war zones has prob
ably prevented the destruction of
lives and property, the United
States has not been immunized
against the dire effects of the de-
struction of the lives of the best
people in the world and the chaos
that must follow" Senator Pittman
said.
Sees Sino-Japanese Accord.
He foresaw an eventual adjust
ment Of the troubles between China
and Japan, and said that both Ger
many and Great Britain realize
more fully now the costs of war,
making them more amenable to
arbitration.
1T is inconceivable that the war
ring powers should refuse an armi-
stice to permit of calm discussion of
the alleged causes of war and OBJ
jectives of such war" he said. ITO
refuse such an undertaking is to
carelessly and selfishly pronounce
the doom of civilization"
Mr.. Pittman declared that the
drawing into the war of Italy and
the Balkans would mean long post
ponement of peace. IF there is not
an armistice before the summer
commences" he said. "the chances
are that the war will continue to
the bitter end"

Meanwhile, Mr.. Palmer indicated
he is asking the advice of his

to take action against German Con-
sui General Fritz Wiedemann and
Chancellor Herman Loeper of the
San Francisco German Consulate.
In holding Dr.. Hoehne for grand

small packages containing diplo-

in Berlin, Germany, to the German

Mr.. Head said that when the
German consular officer at San
