NEW YORK MAY ORGANIZE STATE DETECTIVE UNIT 48 Bureaus in U. S. Modeled on Scotland Yard Proposed. By United Press ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 28.—A central detective force for every state in the Union, modelled on the famous Scotland Yard system and available for any crime that requires special training, has been suggested by the national crime commission’s executive committee. So important does Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt regard the suggestion that, as a member of the committee, he has asked Senator Caleb H. Baumes, chairman of the state crime commission, to investigate and report regarding its desirability. If Baumes reports favorably, Roosevelt plans to lay before the legislature at its present session a bill which would provide New York state with a Scotland Yard of its own. Baumes, one of the country’s great experts on crime conditions, is the author of the widely known Baumes law that has become a terror to criminals. Its main provision is a mandatory life sentence for habitual criminals —in the law defined as one who has been convicted three times previously for serious offenses. In his letter to Baumes, Roosevelt summed up the question to be considered as follows: "Shall the state of New York establish a state bureau, composed -f experts in *he modem science of the detection of criminals, whose services shall be at the disposal of any sheriff, upon his request, and

Should the expense or maintenance of this bureau, which must not be excessive, be borne entirely by the state?” Roosevelt’s letter was inspired by the report of a subcommittee of the national crime commission’s executive committee. The subcommittee is headed by former Governor Lowden of Illinois. A report was made to the subcommittee by Professor Louis N. Robinson, its expert on penology. It called attention to the handicaps under which rural communities labor in handling the crime problem.
