Pr*c4icU»t Ai- ♦ ” TUESDAY, MAY 5 Taking up the cudgels on behalf of the law-abiding element of Los Angeles and Hollywood, Charles Crawford, millionaire politician, and Herbert F. Spencer, veteran newspaperman, waged a ceaseless war upon the forces of vice and corruption until their tongues were stilled by assassin bullets. Many believe that their deaths will complete the work that they started in life, as the investigation into their murders promises to lift the lid off organized crime and its relation to politics in Los Angeles. Though their murders were not a great surprise, considering the enemies they had made in the underworld, the arrest ( of David H. Clark, which followed, was a distinct shock. Clark, a former deputy prosecutor in the District Attorney’s Office, has won an enviable reputation as a brilliant and fearless lawyer, and was a candidate for Municipal Judge of Los Angeles. Police are also seeking June Taylor, alleged underworld hanger-on, and one-time confidante of Albert Marco, loeal vice chief, whom Clark sent to prison.

Los Angeles, May 29.—(U.R> —In this enlightened age, the Year of 'Our Lord, 1931, killings are no longer news, that is, unless the killer ! i gets caught. But the double murdler of Charles Crawford, prominent j politician, and Herbert E. Spencer. I both of Los Aug' les. promises not I only to be news, but sensational i news of graft, protection and all the other unsavory, oderiferous things that are offshots of an alliance between organized crime and politics. Charles Crawford had been for 'years a crusader against corrupt I practices in politics. Being a mililionaire, he could afford the expenI sive, if somewhat dangerous, hob-1 Iby of chopping off the tentacles I 1 Jiat reached up from the under-! * rid and dragged men to whom I I < itizens looked for guidance down i into the quagmire of vice and corI ruption. In Spencer Crawford found a willing and able helper. With a back-1 ground of twenty years as a police repory.r, Spencer was said to have I more sources of information about the doings of the underworld than any man in Los Angeles. Recently the veteran scribe bought, part of the “Critic of Critics,” a liberal magazine, and used that organ in his and Crawford's campaign against the gangsters, gamblers: and racketeers of Los Angeies and Hollywood. In the issue current at the time of his murder, Spencer threatened to expose the\ hidden power of the underworld. That he himseD had been threatened is obvious from an article that appeared in his publication declaring that if any member of his staff were molested a safe deposit box in a certain bank would reveal the names, haunts and habits of all those who would be interested in closing the editor's month. When one considers the unscrupulous enemies Crawford and Spani i er are sure, to have made as a reSil t of their anti-vice campaign, the j killing is not surprising, but the

sensational developments that followed are astonishing in their unexpectedness. David H. Clark, former assistant to District Attorney Huron Eitts. was arrested, and is now charged with the double murder. Clark, who has built up an enviable reputation as a prosecutor, was a canI didate for Municipal Judge of Los Angeles, and his candidacy was (vigorously opposed by Crawford and Spencer. The police theory I is that the double killing is in some way connected with the election, but Clark refuses either to admit complicity or to deny it. The fig that envelopes the mysi t.ery is still further threatened by 'the entrance of another character ■into the drama. Police are seeking I June Taylor, alleged underworld hanger-on with a long record on the “blotter,” and they hope to form a connection between her and Clark with a possible vista of a pre-election frame-up in the background. The Taylcr woman, police say, is a former confidante of Albert Marco, the local vice chief who was sent to San Quentin by Clark when he was deputy pHtsneutor. It might be of interest to state here that in San Quentin with Marco is a former district attorney of Los Angele®, i Asa Keyes, so ft seems that the | film capital of the world has its dramas in real life with ever-chang- ’ Ing roles—prc"< _-...c. li’-dey, prosecuted tomorrow. PROPHESIES NOT OFFICIAL (CONJ IN Hit D EROM PAGE ONE) ’ general recovery within a fixed , period, carries some of th'' confidence which comes from understatement rather than overstatement. The administration is convinred that the bottom of the curve has ’ i been reached and that a slow climb is in sight. It was exactly such a

[situation which caused President I ■Hoover last year to predict recovery would be well under way with-1 in 60 days. But the curve, which I ■ bad started up, suddenly broke and went down further than it had during tlie previous nine months of the depression. As tiffs indicates. Washington is overrated in some quarters as a ■ source of authentic forecast. This j idea that government officials could if they wished, predict exactly ■ [what will happen, grows out of the[ i "magic wand” complex and is held I by the sort of persons who believe I that any evil can be corrected by | passing a law. The chief service the government renders in business statistics is in [systematically collecting ini'orma-l ,tion from innumerable trade sour- | ces and methodically assembling jt, 'working it into index and graph, [form. This information comes | mostly from trade associations and 'much cf it is published in the news- | paper financial pages before it ever , makes its way into the government 'statistics forms. One notable exception, however, is the monthly report on wages and payroll changes compiled by Dr. Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of labor statistics of the department [of labor. This report is the most | I comprehensive picture of what is ' going on in the nation’s factories (that can be obtained anywhere. The I federal reserve board, through its twelve reserve banks .gathers inti-! ! mate reports on business conditions ' ; in each section. The Bible of the government business statisticians is the monthly i table of "business indicators’’ com-1 piled chiefly from information turn-[ ished by trade associations and financial pages of the newspapers to I the department of commerce, a serivice developed while Mr. Hoover! I was secretary of commerce. It is j never up to date, however, due to i time required to assemble the vast amount of data, and weekly supple-; ments fill in some of the items. Washington. May 28. — <U.R)I — High administration officials whose duties keep them in closest touch 1 with the business situation, look; j to the harvest and the crops of late i summer and fall to determine the I [extent of improvement which may | ;be expected in the business situ-; i ation. , They believe that favorable!
