PATRICK THE I CHIEF OF THE ARMY AIR CQRPS TEA - (SOUGHT IN GAPITAL Conference Urges Establish- ing Bureau of Information at Justice Department. Indorsing the wosk of the Depart- ment of Justice in gathering statis- tics and informatic . relating to crime, The National Cofiference on the Re- ductio.. of Crime last night passed a resolution urging creation of a per- 1ranent clearinz house for such statis- tic In the department. The session, fect “>1 by a dinne: at the Willard fotel, concluded the two-day confer- ence held here under the auspices of the Naticnal Crime Commiszion. TIntil information is assembled s| in, who commits crimes, why ar: committed and answering other essential questions nothing concrete ‘will be accomplished sward reduction of cnme, Dean Justin Miller of the University of Southern California de- «l.’ed. All that is available now is & lot of miscellaneous information sathered in sporadic surveys, he said, and little is known about the real facts of crime. Press Wims Praise. Casrying out the resolution would make permanent tfle work that has ‘been begun by the Justice T"opartment and would make the statistics gath- ered there accessible to States and cities engaged in drives to stamp out criminality. Prediction that the aim of the commission, which is the reduction of crime, would be realized was made by former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, who presided at the din- ner. Mr. Baker praised newspapers for the way they have co-operated with the commission in its work. Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, presided over the afternoon session, which was devoted to a dis- cussion of the substitution of scien- tific mental examination of prisoners for the present system of paid medi- cal testimony. Dr. Work said that where insane patients are concerned there exists a veiled antagonism be- tween doctors and lawyers. Frankwood E. Willlams, medical @director of the national committee for mental hygiene, presented the medical point of view and stressed ,the great aid the psychiatrist can ‘give the judge. Judge Andrew Bruce of Northwestern University, who spoke for the legal profession, declared that the legal and medical professions, sparticularly the psychiatrists, are get- 'ting together on the subject of crime. Dr. L. Vernon Briggs, former sec- retary of the Massachusetts State Board of Insanity and author of the Briggs law, explained the steps lead- ing up to the passage of the law, which calls for psychiatric examina- tion of persons accused of major SPECIAL NOTIC NOTICE. Notice is hereby_given to all holders of nds how outstanding aod unpaid. secured ety | cussion that followed the law Making Flying Safe. The public is well aware of the no- table achievements in aviation, partic- ularly during the past decade. Be- cause of its more prosaic nature little is generally known of the efforts being put forth to reduce the hazards of fiving. The Army Air Corps has just completed the installation of the visual inspection system at Wright Field. Dayton. Ohio. the virtual birthplace of aviation. All of the other large Army flying fields in the United States have previously been similarly equipped. This new system, devised and perfect- ed by Air Corps personnel, provides standardized methods for the upkeep and inspection of airplanes, all aimed at the ultimate objective- eater safe- ty in flying. ‘There are admittedly greater haz- ards in military flving, both in peace and in war, than are necessary in Its commercial application, There are many reasons for this, chief among them being the fact that Army avia- tors must in time of peace be trained to execute all the maneuvers which are so necessary to the successful ac- complishment of war missions. This has become an accepted fact among military flyers, who, like all other members of the milita; establish- ment, have dedicated their lives to the national defense, and everything, their lives included, is subordinated to mili- tary necessity. First “Supreme Sacrifice.” Since Lieut. Selfridge made the first supreme sacrifice in the advancement of aviation some 19 years ago many others have followed him, in spite of a concerted effort to avoid such acci- dents. Their sacrifices have been an added inspiration to those who re- mained not only to carry on the work which they so heroically advanced but to profit by the lessons for which they paid so dearly. Side by side the two giant achieve- ments, progress in flight and preven- tion of accidents, have grown upward from that first success in one and fail- ure in the other at Fort Myer, Va., 19 véars ago. In the 6-year period ended with the year 1926 the ratio of acci- dents to flying hours was decreased by 70 per cent. As the number of acci- dents is reduced to a low point it be- comes increasingly difficult to secure additional progress, although efforts to this end are being diligently continued. It is expected that the visual inspec- crimes, He explained the wo g of the law and the benefical effect of having accused persons examined by an impartial mdical board instead of letting rival physicians in the pay of State and defense squabble over his sanity, with a jury of laymen to pass judgment. As a result of the ]al" Dr. Briggs said, many mental defectives are placed in hospitals for the insane in- stead of going to prison or being turned loose upon society. Many of them are cured, he said, and the others are kept safe for life. Dr. Winfred Overholser, director of the division for examination of pris- oners, Massachusetts department of mental diseases, gave examples of the working of the law.

Some idea of the complexity of airplane maintenance may be gained from knowledge of the fact that on each plane 63 parts or assemblies must be inspected A & others weekly and 12 others fortnightly.

It is no longer necessary for the pilot to either make a minute inspec- tion of his plane or to take the word of whomever may at that time be on hand to answer questions as to its air- worthin In the cockpit «f each plane Is a pad of forms labeled *“‘Air- plane Flig! ||l Report.” On the back of the first form the pilot finds a com- plete record of the inspections of the plane which the mechanic has made on fthat day. The engine and all its important parts, the wings, the rud- der, the elevators, the landing gear and dozens of other vital details are listed in order. which facilitates refer- ence. The initials of the mechanic opposite the printed name of each part certifies a satisfactory inspection. If t tisfactory or . his eye instantly notes the red cross or line which indicates that fact. Upon landing -from his flight the pilot enters, in spaces pro- vided on the face of this form, ul an- propriate data as to the functioning of the pls the information of the mechanic. Thus every flight rcnsti- tutes a recorded test flight.

Dr. Raymond Moley. instructor in criminology at Columbia University, urged reorganization of police sys- tems to place the traflic departments outside the spkere of crime preven tion.

The Argonne Found Dead by Posse Alarmed by His Absence. Special Dispateh to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., November 4.— Charles Deets Tabler, 23 years old, son of the late James Milton Tabler of Cedar Grove, Montgomery County, Md.. committed suicide yesterday, his body being found i + the woods by rela. tives and neighbors. Poor health is blamed for the act. He left the home of his grandfather, Willard Watkins, near Cedar Grove, where he and his mother lived, saying that he was going after rabbits. When he failed to return home at dark a searching party was organized and the body was found on a hill. He had lodged his gun in the fork of a tree and used a stick to discharge it. The charge entered his body just below the heart. He apparently walked about 55 feet and fell. He left a note indicating that he was going to commit suicide and stat- ing that he had always endeavored to lead a Christian life and that he was “going home to rest.” He further stated that he had no hard feelings against any one. He was unmarried. Funeral services will take place at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Salem Meth- odist Church, Cedar Grove. Chief of Police Alvin W. Moxley said an in- uest would be unnecessary. FLAT TIRE?
