* GRILLED. T “Organization of ¥ [SSISTANT TO HIGH ATTORNEY J tad Department at Fault, Says Crim. WASHINGTON, May 22.—John W. H. Crim, special assistant to the at- torney general, was questioned today by the senate Daugherty committee regarding many references to him in the testimony of previous witnesses, In a general discussion of the or- ganization of the Department of Justice in which he was a supervis- ing official before hé took over the special detail of prosecuting the vet- erans bureau. frauds, he declared there was “too much work being done in Washington by the depart- ment due to the neglect of the offic- ers of the United States district at- torney’s out in the country.” “For instance, if there was a pro- per organization,” he said, “they would not need me at Chicago as a special attorney.” With a district attorney and 17 as- sistants at Chicago, he explained, I found that in the calendar year of 1922 they tried 22 jury cases, “That meant inefficient adminis- tration?” asked Chairman Broolt- hart. “That meant utter demoralization,” Mr. Crim returned. “I tried to remedy it. There had been consider- able improvement since. It took a good long time to get a change. The chairman asked why pro- gress had ben so slow, and the wit- ness replied that members of the con- sress and of the political organiza- tion and finally the president had to ‘be considered. “The fact is, the former United States attorney at Chicago was per- fectly satisfactory to the political re- gime?" suggested senator wheeler. “That maybe so, but I don’t know,” “Mr. Crim replied. “‘There isn't any thing to do with the offices of United States attorney! There isn’t anything to do with the offices of United States attorney, but to get it out of polities and above this turmoil. The burden of new criminal laws has mul- tiplied officials and yet to enforce the laws, you must have simple pro- cesses, where the light of publicity and the fixing of responsibility is possible.” Mr. Crim suggested that in the in- terests of simplicity there should be two assistant attorneys general, one to handle criminal and one clvil cases through the district attorneys. There are too many assistant at- torneys general, he declared. “Get the two division heads, hold them responsible for results,” he said, “and if they don’t get them, let them go.” : Under _the present system, Mr. WE OPEN TODAY Casper’s Largest Meat Market It has long been our pleasure to serve the people of Casper with the best in meats, greatest variety, best quality at lowest possible cost.

I’ve watched it grow up. I think you'd be better off if. you would dv away with nine tenths of it. “Its evils are so apparent that it is now worth dwelling upon. ‘The chief function of it is for some rascal to find out what the govern- nt is dolng. ‘There isn't any merit in it. In the old days the United States dis- trict attorney used to out and work up his c: vs special assistant to the attorney general is jumping into his auto at 4 p. m. to go play golf, while an agent is supposed to be looking up his evidence. That's true in too many instances.” Crim suggested “50 or class specialists" in accounts, lon work and handwiiting needed. \ “But when you get these special agents, picked up anywhere, armed with a commission of the United States government,” he said, “they ™ e an alll ¢ with somebody over in the treasury department and you've got a den of iniquity in the making, a situation that paralyzes and demoralizes government.” Chairman Brookhart suggested that Attorney General Stone was “cutting the espionage system.’ Va cut it down nine tenths right now,” Crim replied. 7 high ertil were fhe Casper Daily Cripune Ea WASHINGTON, / May —A de- scription of extensive detective operations conducted by the depart: ment of justice with regard to Gaston B.
