A study of laws by a committee of «L.. ’ ficiuls is to be one result of a conference on crime held by the attorney general and the Senate Judiciary Committee. . Their* are many posslbuitits for ' real help by federal authorities in the. suppression of crime. At the same time There”aldo are Ifiberetll political dangers against wtiieh careful safeguards must always be maintained.

Triumph had overlaid every other emotion that had Bared up In him when he had first seen Alicia and Frank together. For this was his chance. Here, thrust into his hand by luck, was the opportunity of a lifetime. Why waste hours and days calling on th’ men whose names Dr. Morgan had given him? Dr. Morgan had j spoken out of a background; of security ,n which he had developed a trust tn good fortune and a trust tn hi* fellow men. To him they might, indeed, be "generous ; and tolerant” But Gerry had learned the hard way.
