CRIME ANALYSIS BLAMES PARENTS More Urchins Than Petted Children Go Straight, Dr. Lind Declares. The criminal is frequently the prod- uct of the nursery, in the opinion .of Dr. John E. Lind, who for the past 15 years has been in charge of the gimlnmd department at St. Elizabeth's The too tenderly nurtured child, Dr.| Lind told the District League of Amer- fcan Pen Women last night, more often becomes a criminal than the urchin of the street corners and back alleys, which are the reputed breeding places of crime. Dr. Lind's opinions are based on ob- servation of the mental processes and personal histories of hundreds of Fed- eral prisoners sent to St. Elizabeth’s for mental disorders. He now has more than 200 under his observation, rang- ing from the violently insane to the milder cases of psychopathic person- ality. Escapes Harsh Realities. The too indulgent parent, Dr. Lind said, does not give the child a chance to overcome for itself the little obstacles that arise in the life of the nursery. Everything is done for the little one, who has only to cry for assistance. The child never is allowed to come in contact with the harsh realities of | Jife, which must be faced sooner or 1af ter. ‘Then the petted child goes out in the world, where it no longer can pass on its troubles to loving parents. It has had no experience in rolving the problems of life, as has the child brought up in a harsher and saner background. Consequently such a per- son is more or less helpless in the unusual situations which arise in the workaday world. It finds the solution of its difficulties in the most obvious way—by turning to drugs, drink and On the other hand, Dr. Lind said, unreasonable harshness of parents leads to a feell of rebellion in children. Later on, when the source of authority is transferred to law and organized gov- ernment, the same reaction is trans- ferred to these institutions. In this case the criminal breaks the law because he has been conditioned to hate it from the feeling which he formerly held toward his parents. In both cases the individual transfers his characteristic behavior in the more or less unreal world of childhood to the real world of adult life. Homicides Logical Legacy. ‘The background of American life, Dr. Lind said, also furnishes an ex- planation of the reptited “crime wave” of the present generation. “We are,” he said, “an adolescent Nation and are - __THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

By the Assoclated Press. | NEW YORK, February 22.—Pleading for an awakened conscience “on the part of our legislators,” Representative James M. Beck of Pennsylvania today attacked the continued centralization of Government, in a Washington birth- day address at Carnegie Hall, before the Sons of the American Revolution. “He (Washington) did not believe that the Union would last unless our dual form of Government was preserved in its integrity,” Mr. Beck sald. “He believed in local self-government, and he never regarded as a possibility that our Nation, so vast in area, could be governed altogether from its capital. Thinks in Concrete Terms. “The difficulty today with combating an undue centralization of Government is that while the men who framed the Constitution thought in terms of ab- | f| stract political rights, this generation of Americans thinks only in terms of concrete practical economics.” Mr. Beck made only one mention of the eighteenth amendment, as he said that recently when he enunciated the principle he saw clearly outlined in the Constitution, tI is, the principle that dians, highwaymen and vigilantes, are just behind us, while the great war, with its bloody heaps of vic- tims, is a thing of yesterday. The pres- :‘tidnuy crop of homicides is their log- legacy. Dr. Lind blamed the mounting num- ber of laws for a considerable part of the wave. “The Federal prisons are overcrowded today,” he said, “chief- 1y because of four laws which create what might be called artificial crime. These are the Harrison act, the Mann act, the prohibition act and the Dyer act. “A criminal is easily created when an it person realizes that s cer- tain law is not a crystallization of pub- lic opinion, and when he sees it vio- Jated about him every day, or when a person with natural criminal tendencies no longer feels the deterrent effects of fear, but sees how easily the processes of the law may be delayed and finally evaded altogether.” Preventive Measures Urged. Based on his study of the criminal insane at St. Elizabeth’s, Dr. Lind in- sisted that the way to end the crime wave is not by indiscriminate punish- ment after crimes have been commit- t':‘i'-h;x:uz Tby “geting st the otusc “ge causes ‘which underlie criminal behavior, First he urged a wider application of mental hygiene in the nursery, schools, colleges and factories, by which mistakes in upbringing can be detected and cor- rected before they have led to their logical results. He urged that behavior and mental hygiene clinics be available everywhere. The first of these in Wash- s00n is to be established. Psychi- atrists and social workers, he said, should be attached to every juvenile court, where the future criminal often makes his first public appearance for some minor crime. When such cases are dealt with without full understanding of the primary causes of the behavior, he pointed out, the condition often is aggravated and the future criminal made more certain. Favors Parole System. For the rest of his program he urged that the criminal laws represent m’)re accurately the current state of morals and ethics. A crime should not be what & few persons consider wrong, but what appeals to the great majority of indi- iduals as wrong. This, he indicated, would result in much less law than is now in the books. Once these few and fundamental laws are agreed upon, he said, they should be enforced without fear, favor or technical delay. Society should convince the criminal that be- yond a certain ethical line, upon which there should be practically unanimous sgreement, no trifling will be tolerated. As his concluding measure, he urged & parole system under which the fitness of an offender to return to society would be determined by trained psychiatrists, who, able to analyze the behavior into its primary causes and trace its prog- Tess from these causes, would decide with considerable confidence whether a ‘eure was possible, POLICE SALARY BILL SLATED FOR DISCUSSION Senate Subcommittee May Decide on Course of Action at Meet- | ing Tomorrow.

Miss Smock, who is 17, and a typical bru- nette, and Deatline, a rosy-cheeked farm boy, acknowledged the introduc- tion in turn. Advancing to the microphone, Miss Smock smilingly said she was “more than delighted to be thus honored by my own home folk. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.} Harold Deatline is here and I want you to make him feel just as much at home as I do” Deatline addressed the crowd, assert- ing his delight.
