THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO NOVEMBER 24, 1929—PART THREE. WOMAN WILL AID LAW COMMISSION Miss Van Kleeck Named to Probe Effect of Employ- ment on Crime. President Hoover's' Commission of Law Observance and Enforcement has called Miss Mary van Kleeck, director of industrial studies for the Russell| Sage Foundation, to investigate the regularity of employment and the Te- lations of inadequate housing to the increase of crime in large communities. In announcing the selection of Miss van Kleeck as an expert assistant to the subcommittee on causes of crime, the commission said “should the facts brought out by this investigation prove the contentions now advanced as to the connection between crime and housing congestion, there doubtless would be a great speeding up of the various pro- grams for housing construction on a large scale in a number of cities.” “Miss van Kleeck's experience in !hel investigation of regularity in employ- | ment especially equips her to make an | effective study of the results of full and | regular employment in the rcduclng of | crime,” the commission said, “as well as in ‘the reducing of human and ma- terial waste resulting from crime.” She ‘was a member of the President’s con- ference on unemployment in 1921 and thereafter served as a member of the commission on unemployment and busi- ness cycles. During the World War she was a director of woman's branch of the industrial service section of the Ordnance Department, U. S. Army. * Commenting on the appointment, Chairman Wickersham said that Miss | van Kleek is the eleventh of the con- sultants in charge of research chosen by the commission. ILLNESS OF JUROR MAY SLOW UP TRIAL Rothstein Case in Adjournment Over the Week End. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 23 —With the trial of George A. McManus for the murder of Arnold Rothstein adjourned over the week end, the iliness of a juror threatened today to delay proceedings when court reconvenes Monday. Eugene A. Riker, juror, reported to Judge Charles G. Nott yesterday after adjournment that he was ill and asked to be relieved of further duty in the case, Judge Nott directed a court phy- sician to examine Riker and report at the opening of court Monday. Excusing the juror will not neces- sarily result in a mistrial, attorneys said, as, with the consent of both sides, the remaining members of the special panel of 150 may be recalled and a substitute selected. Mm Marguerite Hubbell of Montreal, 0 was a guest at the Park Central Ho'el the nlwht Rothstein was shot, told yesterday of hearing an “explosion.” She said she thought at first it might be the sound of a shot in the hotel, but decided it was the backfire of an auto- mobile and did not investigate. She said she did not learn that Rothstein had been shot until the next day. i g NEW AIR LINE PLANNED. Cristobal, Canal Zone, to Be Link- ed With Arica.
