Little Hope Held for

Neutrality Revision

WASHINGTON, Nov, 18 (U. P). Administration officials appeared | content today to let Congressmen talk about possible revision or repeal of the neutrality law. They believed it would be next to impossible to achieve a rewriting or repeal of the Neutrality Act at this | session of Congress. Failure to amend the law would | make certain the United States’ in-

Judge Richard Hartshorne, Newark, N. J, Interstate Crime Commission chairman, today asked the aid of the American Legion in “enacting criminal laws to give both | the public and the eriminal a | square deal.” Speaking before the organization's [tional executive committee, Judge artshorne asked that “Legion- | A throughout the country go to | their legislatures and demand pas- | sage of crime control and crime pre- | vention legislation.” At the same time, he reported progress of the commission's law | and order program since it was es- | tablished a year ago He announced that 25 states have signed the interstate parolees and | probationers supervision pact. It provides for interstate parolee su- | pervision,

Judge Hartshorne also disclosed that 23 states have enacted fresh pursuit laws under which police of one state may pursue and capture | an escaping felon across boundary | lines of another in which such a | law is operating.

And environment in crime is much more important than | heredity. “That the public is not getting a square deal is shown by the fact that only 11 per cent of offenses reported to the police result in convictions.” Judge Hartshorne blamed prose- | cutors for much of the lack of enforcement, Between the legal steps of arrests,
