CALIFORNIAN TO TAKE CRIME CURE TO WORLD LEAGUE Berkeley Police Chief Says Severity V/ill Not Check Lawlessness. Bu Times Soerinl BERKELEY, Cal., June 29.—The "Vollmer Plan” for the conquest of crime, named for its author, Chief of Police August Vollmer of this college city, will be laid before the League of Nations this 'summer. Chester Rowell has been named chairman of the police committee of the national <jrime commission. Vollmer is the committee’s expert, and when Rowell goes to Geneva this summer he will take a report by Vollmer on how to tackle the world’s crime problem. “Oime will not be stamped out by more laws, by cruelty or by repressionary measures,” said Vollmer, who is a former president of the International Association of Police Chiefs. Against Severity "Briefly, crime can be* conquered only by the application of scientific and humane methods to the problem and of education to the masses. Severity is not the answer. This belongs to a past era. The modern trend is all against it.” Vollmer’s report deals only with police aspects of crime prevention and cure. Here are the main changes he demands: 1. A decided improvement in the personnel of the nation’s police forces. The end of the “flat-foot” and the ‘bull” is already seen here, where Vollmer has replaced them by high-class men, 50 per cent of whom are college graduates. Vollmer says policemen should be the most intelligent officials in society and, as big brothers, should be chief agents for preventing crime. Science Needed 2. The application of science to crime detection, prevention and cure. Vollmer wants more cooperation between police forces and the colleges, the study of psychology, sociology and material sciences, extension courses for policemen, police training schools and other means of making exact knowledge useful. 3. Better organization of departments to prevent duplication, inefficiency and graft. * '4. A more modern equipment in the police departments. 5. Coordination of city forces under State bureaus and the coordination of State bureaus under a national crime bureau. Wants New Opinion Back of this machinery Vollmer wants a change of public opinion toward the law and its enforcement; a “reverse psychology” from the newspapers in handling crime stories so as to remove the attractiveness of criminal life; intelligence by the public as to the causes of crime —disease, poverty, luck of home life, too few play spaces, maladjustments, etc.—and movements to improve these conditions. “Some million persons are arrested in America every year,” he said. “Let’s slow up on passing laws and arresting people, and get down to the cause. We must travel farther up-stream toward the sources of crime.” NOT ENOUGH COLTS Illinois farms at the present time have only about one-third enough colts to maintain the present horse j supply, according to a study of 626 farms made by C. R. Ross of 1111nois College of Agriculture.

Governor Jackson and several State, officials will aid the £Jtate highway commosion in handling traffic on the National Road when the old overhead crossing at Putsamville is razed soon after July 6. It is to be replaced hy a modern structure to carry this highway across the tracks of the Monon railroad. The commission's plans, worked out with Governor Jackson, call for traffic to continue to use the present structure until shortly after July 6, then follow a detour leaving the National Road at Manhattan, routing through Greencastle and returning to the National Rood at Stilesville. This detour is very little longer than the State road, it was announced. Loose No Time Another detour will be marked for purely local traffic. Abutments for the new overhead will be completed before traffic Is diverted from the State road, so no time will be lost in getting the bridge into position, and that the detour will not be necessary more than 60 to 90 days. On July 3-4-5 State motor police will aid in handling traffic at this point. The traffic bulletin today called attention to opening of the new bridge and pavement on Road 34! at two miles south of Bedford, removal of a bridge run-around on No. 32, north of Greencastle, removal of detour on No. 1 at Marshfield, removal of detour account of city paving in Decatur, removal of bridge runaround on Road No. 13 near Newcastle and completion of construction work on No. 4 in Dugger.
