SCIENCE AIDS U. S. IN WAR ON CRIMINALS Test Tubes and Microscopes Put to Use in Fight on Lawlessness. Hv 1 nitrti prrta WASHINGTON. Oct. 30—Test tubes and microscopes, no less than machine Runs and high-powered rifles, are the government's weapons in its relentless campaign against crime. In a suite in the new justice department building. Director J. Edgar Hoover, of the division of investigation. has established one of the world's most complete and modern crime laboratories. Scientists in those quiet rooms, working over bits of hair, scratched bullets or fragments of paper, develop manv of the clews that enable armed federal agents in the field to go after criminals with the certainty they are getting the right man. It was a laboratory expert, Charles Appel, who gave important evidence in the preliminary hearing of Bruno Hauptmann, Lindbergh kidnapmurder suspect. Mr. Appel analyzed Hauptmann's handwriting and held it identical with that in the ransom notes. If a criminal seeks to protect himself by using a typewriter, he is scarcely less safe. On file in the laboratory are specimens of writing marie on every known make and model of machine. In each are minute variations that stand out like a sore thumb —to the experts. Messages written with "secret” ink are secret no longer when the laboratory gets them. An ultraviolet light brings out mast hidden writing in an instant, and if it won’t chemicals will. Thousands of watermarks are on file, to aid in tracing the kind and source of paper used in ransom notes, extortion threats or other documents bearing on a crime. The laboratory is assembling specimens of the tracks made by all known kinds of automobile tires. A bit of hair found at the scene of a crime may lead to important evidence. With a microscope and specimen of hair, the expert can tell whether the hair fell out, was pulled out or cut off; the race and approximate age of the person from whom it came. From the tiny oil glands at the roots, they even can

Schilder of the division’s identification unit, "but we don t think you can go quite that far.” More than one criminal has been convicted because of the fact that every gun makes minutely different

courses, chiefly typing and shorthand. It is said there is a scarcity of teachers in such courses and only three schools in Bartholomew countyare equipped for imparting commercial instruction.

The expert fires a shot through the gun. The two bullets are placed under a double microscope, con- ; nected by a single eye-piece.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SWAIM URGES VOTERS TO BACK CITIZENnLATE Support Is Merited as Civic Duty, Democratic Leader Says. Election of the CITIZENS SCHOOL COMMITTEE ticket as a civic movement, rather than a political event, was advocated today by H. Nathan Swaim, former Democratic county chairman. "Our schools are by their nature civic rather than political,” Mr. Swaim stated. "Teachers and administrators should be selected solely on the basis of merit and fitness, and not because of party affiliations. National and state issues have no place in a school board election.” Mr. Sw-aim commended the CITIZENS’ SCHOOL COMMITTEE as having no interest except in the election of honest, competent school commissioners. "Neither Democrats nor Republicans should have any hesitancy about working shoulder to shoulder for the success of the CITIZENS' ticket,” he said. Printing Charge Denied An indignant denial that the CITIZENS SCHOOL COMMITTEE

had been guilty of misuse of the' union label in connection with the printing of its literature was issued today by John L. Niblack. the com- j mittee’s managing director, A charge of such misuse was made j last week by Guy S. McCoy, in- \ dependent candidate for the board, who said that approximately 90,000 of the 100,000 copies issued had been printed on the Technical high school presses. Mr. McCoy is secretarytreasurer and business agent of the Indianapolis Typographical Union. No. 1. Mr. McCoy said that 10.000 of the j circulars were printed in a union shop and that, then, after the label had been obtained, the balance were printed at Technical. This was denied flatly by Mr. Nibiack. ’"We let the contract for printing our folders with the understanding it was to be done by union labor," j he said. "They were printed, delivered with ! the union label, and we have paid i for them. In addition, two additional runs of our literature are 1 being printed in union shops this very day. "As to the charge we had any printing done in the Technical high school shop, that is false and en- ; tirelv without foundation. "These charges are petty stuff j and characteristic of the lengths to j which opponents of the CITIZENS' j SCHOOL COMMITTEE are driven in an effort to throw the management of the Indianapolis schools 1 back into the old older of things.” j
