_ CHIEF, ROOKIES - START TRAINING “IN FBI GOURSE

Juvenile Delinquency Most Important Problem, Sackett Says.

Juvenile delinquency is the most important problem in law enforce*uent todey, B. Edwin Sackett, FBI agent in charge here, told 125 Indianapolis police officers last night. Tne talk was the first in a policeFBI short course In which every member of the department from Chief Michael F. Morrissey to rookie patrolmen will get five and one-

half hours of instruction in modern |

police methods. ° Mr. Sackett gave three lectures and Sergt. Carl Ashley, in charge of the police department training and a graduate of the FBI's national police ' academy, gave one lecture. Tonight, Mr. Sackett will show a sound moving picture on techniques of arrest and Sergt. Ashley will lecture on report forms. The same two-night course will be repeated four times to permit all officers to attend. - ‘Classed as Profession

In his first lecture, Mr. Sackett said that law enforcement has Joined medicine, theology and law as one of the learned professions and. that the public has much more confidence in law enforcement today than 25 years ago, “But anything done by one officer or one department affects the whole profession,” he said. In his second lecture, Mr. Sackett said that “loyalty must be the basis of any police department and that . the ideal situation is one where each man, from Chief to rookie, has respect for the other and shows it in public. “If a police department expects the citizens and community to be loyal to them and support them, it must first show those citizens that individual officers are efficient, honest and loyal to each other and their trust.”

Cites Need for Co-Operation

In his third lecture, Mr. Sackett said that regardless of whether the law violated is a city, state or Federal law, criminals are common enemies of all law officers. He emphasized the necessity for police department co-operation in every possible manner with effective civic, service. and social organizations | which aim at combating juvenile delinquency since the criminal army of 4,750,000 “draws its recruits from the youth of the nation.” erie draco BURLINGTON ORDERS TRAINS CHICAGO, Feb. 27 (U.

With what he could scoop off the roof of the one-story part of his home at 445 S. Ritter Ave. Mr. Crainean put out a weather-board-ing fire -that started shortly after midnight. in the two-story part where he and his wife and three roomers slept. Brownie, a Chow which slept on the back porch, barked so furiously and persistently that Mrs. Crainean was awakened and smelled smoke. She awakened her husband, and they were unable to find the fire

He had it nearly out when firemen arrived. Meanwhile, Mrs. Crainean warned the roomers and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Vail and: their 2-year-old son, who occupied a first-floor apartment. The origin of the fire has not been determined and the loss has not been estimated. Brownie continued barking throughout the excitement.

The Central Labor Union has in{dorsed Municipal Judge John L. 'McNelis’ recent criticism of police to r “needless arrests.”

The union passed the resolution

last night. It declared workers frequently are forced needlessly to lose time in traffic court. Courtesy and education, the resolution said, are needed rather than embarrassing arrests. © Safety committees, other courts and the police department were urged to co-operate with Judge McNelis. Judge McNelis’ criticism of “needless arrests” was made several days ago.

WAR PENSIONS SNAG EXPECTED

Rankin Indicates Committee Will Slash Amounts Asked in Bill,

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. — Rep. John E. Rankin (D. Miss.), chairman of the House committee on World War veterans’ legislation, indicated today that his bill to enlarge

‘benefits for disabled veterans and

dependents -of ‘deceased veterans probably will be scaled down before being reported to the House. The measure is backed by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. According to Rep. Rankin, a substitute may be written which will give the World War veterans the same treatment accorded SpanishAmerican War veterans 23 years after that conflict ended. He said this would mean payment of about $15,000,000 a year more than at present, according fo an estimate by Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines of the Veterans Administration. Rep. Rankin’s original measure, on which hearings have been held, defines veterans as “all persons who served 90 days or more in the military or naval service of the United States during the World War,” and defines disability as incapacity to earn a living at manual labor. The pension scale then applies as follows: $20 a month for one-tenth disability;: $25 for one-fourth; $50 for three-fourths, and $60 for total disability. Another provision statest “That any such person who becomes or has become 65 years of age shall be deemed to be totally dis= abled.” If the disabled veteran needed “the regular aid and attendance of another person,” he would be paid $100 a month. Pensions would be awarded from date of application.

THE INDIAN 6. 0. P. ASSAULT ON 1340 GENSUS|

ALARMS BUREAU

Republicans Advise Citizens To Refuse Answers; Austin Cites Penalties.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (U. P.)— v ‘W. L. Austin, director of the census,

was soncerned today lest Republican attacks on the 1940 census to begin in April, cause citizens to refuse to answer the questions of enumerators. It was pointed out that to refuse to answer the questions were a violation of law punishable by a maximura fine of $100 or 60 days in jail or both. To. give wrong information is punishable by a $500 fine or six months in jail or both. For a business firm or charitable institution to give wrong informaton the fine is $10,000 and a year in jail or both. For a census taker or official to reveal census information, the fine is $2000 or five years in jail or both. Republican orators in the House yesterday invited their constituents to risk the penalties by telling the census takers that the information sough is “none of their damned business.” The Republicans marshaled orators in both House and Senate who charged that the census: “Flaunts the bill of rights.”

: “It’s Snooping”

“Represents snooping in its most insidious form.” “Is nibbling away by degrees the most precieless heritage of Americans.” “Is an utterly amazing, shocking and perfidious proposition.” The Republican attack recalled that in 1930, the Democrats mustered their finest spell-binders to thunder similar charges against the census of President Herbert Hoover. The Republicans continue their attack before a Senate committee tomorrow. The target is centered on these two questions which the census takers will ask all citizens: “What was the amount of wages or salary received during 1939? “Did you receive $50 or more in income last year other than wages or salary? Answer yes or no.” ’ Those questions, declared Repuiblicans, led by Reps. Daniel A. Reed (N. Y.), Dewey Short (Mo.) and Senator Charles W. Tobey (N. H.), strike at the foundation of the republic. Senator Tobey is author of a resolution for an investigation of the census plans which is due to come before the Senate Commerce Committee tomorrow. Mr. Austin, who has spent 40 of his 70 years in the Census Bureau, was especially alarmed at the effect of such appeals as the following made on the House floor by Rep. Reed: “There is no more sacred place than the American home., Men are going to quiz your wife; men lacking in character. They are going to take delight in insulting your family if they have anything on you. Don’t think for a minute that this information will not be broadcast to the country to serve a political purpose.”

Cites Proclamation

Mr. Austin recalled that a proclamation by President Roosevelt had pointed out that answering census questions is an act of citizenship, that census takers are bound to secrecy and that census information can not be used in connection with

taxation, military service, jury duty,

compulsion of school attendance, immigration or any law enforcement. Mr. Austin has-no doubt that the income questions are constitutional. The census, he said, is authorized by a law passed in 1929 leaving the questions to discretion of the Census Director with the approval of the Secretary of Commerce. Last spring the.Bureau received at open meetings suggestions from the public, businessmen and statistical experts. Taking issue with critics who contend that people are averse to giving personal information to censustakers who are neighbors, Mr. Austin said that experience had shown that much more confidence is reposed in a local enumerator than a stranger imported from another district. “We nave tried switching censustakers into other districts in the past and found a greater reluctance ‘on the part of the people to tell things about themselves and their families,” he said. Yesterday's row on the House floor came during consideration of the first regular deficiency| bill - which carries five million dollars to pay for the cost of the census. The census appropriation was approved and the bill passed.
