In addressing the commission at the White House meeting yesterday Presi- dent Hoover declared that “the Ameri- can people are deeply cofcerned over thg alarming disobedience of law, the abuses in law enforcement and the growth of organized crime. which has spread to every field of evil-doing and in every part of our country. ‘The President said the problem is not confined to the enforcement and obedience of one law or the laws of the Federal and State governments sepa- rately, but “is partly the attitude to- ward all law.” Hopes for Accuracy. “It is my hope,” he said, “that the commission shall secure an accurate de- termination of fact and cause, following them with constructive, courageous con- clusions which will bring public under- standing and command public support of its solutions.” Chairman Wickersham replied that the members of the commission “are under no illusions as to the difficulty of our task” and they *“know there is no short cut to the millennium.” “But,” he added, “we have confidence in the fundamental honesty and right- mindedness of the American people and their readiness to support sound meth- ods of reform when the existence of evils is exposed and practical methods for their eradication submitted to pop- ular judgment.” Members of "the commission, in ad- dition to Chairman Wickersham and Mr. Baker, are: Frank J.
