LINDBERGH CASE ACCENTS CRIME DRIVE IN U. S.

600 “G” Men, America’s Scotland Yard, Makes Strong Showing. Hi ' * CT> PP , -H+tr*r4 Srvtpiprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 This ia Just a start." Such was the attitude today of the "G" men. the little force of Quiet' young lawyers and accountants mobilized and trained to carry out the government's new crime policy, to the break of the Lindbergh kidnaping case. There are only 600 of these bureau of investigation men under the department of justice, but this group, specially selected, trained in law, marksmanship and detection, j and backed by a dozen new anticrime bills passed in the last two congreses, has cleared up twentyseven of twenty-nine kidnapings in two years and stopped dozens of minor extortionists in their tracks, j The “wave" of kidnapings that broke in 1933 appears to have been stopped Director J. Edgar Hoover of the bureau and Attorney-General Homer Cummings, aided by Joseph B Kennan. assistant attorney-general, on the prosecuting side, plan further expansion of their highly mobile force—perhaps to an even 1,000 agents

Work With I.ooal Police Only men in perfect physical condition, 25 to 35 years old, and with at least thre years' investigative experience. are recruited. Expert marksmen. boxers, ex-Texas Rangers, college athletic stars, and state troopers are numerous among them. This "little Scotland Yard ’ covers the whole country’, working to aid local police and peace authorities in solving major crimes which come under the new federal laws and other federal jurisdictions. This is the same force that Harry Daugherty as attorney-general used generously m unsuccessfully indicting his prosecutor. Senator Burton K. Wheeler—but the direction is far I different now. and the men are | aimed at racketeers, kidnapers and extortionists. Dates From I.indberg Tragedy This new federal drive on major crime dates from the night of March 1. 1932. when Baby Lindbergh was stolen trom his nursery. Aroused public opinion led to immediate action by congress, which passed a law making kidnaping a federal crime, punishable by life imprisonment. Last spring the law was amended to impose the death penalty in extreme cases. But the major criminals of the country, turning frrom bank holdups and liquor to other "big money,”

took no warning. A score of kidnapings within a year shocked the nation's consciousness. The government moved quickly. Here are the records: 1. James DeJute Jr., kidnaped Niles. 0., March, 1932; two sentenced to life, another one to twenty years, i 2. Haskell Bohn, St. Paul, June 30, 1932; one got twenty-five years. 3. George N.

Charles Boettcher 11, Denver, j Peb. 12, 1933; two got forty-two years. 6. Peggy McMath, Harwichport, Mass., May 2, 1C33; one got twentyfive years. 7. Mary McElroy, Kansas City, May 27, 1933; one sentenced to hang, others to prison. 8. William Hamm Jr., St. Paul, June 15, 1933, two acquitted. 9. Charles Urschel, Oklahoma City, j July 23. 1933; several long sentences, j In addition, the department of I justice agents, known and feared in ! the underworld as "G” men, were instrumental in solving the O’Connell, Luer, Ottley and Factor cases. Twenty-six resulting prosecutions brought a total of 1,111 years in prison sentences for seventy-one of the country's most deadly gangsters —many of them now in dread Alcatraz island prison. Carrying on their campaign of “not only out-thinking but also outshooting" gangsters, the federal' force chased John Dillinger around:

the midwest and finally, cornering him in Chicago, shot him to death. The arms of these agents, modernized by increased appropriations, are strengthened by the 1933 laws which also augment their work; one makes extortion by interstate communication a federal violation; others set up federal jurisdiction over bank robberies, interstate fugitives, resisting or assaulting federal employes, and extortion. Studio Expert Receives Threat By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 24—A police guard today shielded the children of Nick Mallas, screen studio landscape expert, from kidnaping threats contained in a note, demanding $5,000 from their father.

A program which includes the operation of the state highway police under the merit system was advocated today in the announcement of the Motor Truck Association of Indiana legislative program for the 1935 general assembly.

Repeating the stand taken by The Indianapolis Times, the association stated: "The crime wave that is sweeping the country is more than deplorable. Our state highway police department is woefully handicapped from the standpoint of numbers and equipment and in this condition can not be expected to cope with the situation. "This deparment should be removed from politics, placed under a merit system and sufficiently enlarged and equipped as to be wholly and completely effective. "Our state should have an adequate highway patrol with clearly defined duties. This patrol should le divided into squads and posted at drivers’ vantage points."
