KIDNAPING BLAME ON DRY LAW SCORED Methodist Board Denounces Asser- tion That Prohibition Breeds Crime. Claim that crimes such as the Lind- | bergh kidnaping can be blamed on the rrohlhluoq law were branded as “utter | alsehoods” yesterday by the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and | Public Morals. Those who defy the law, rather than the law itself, are to blame | for organized crime, the board's state- ment sald “The horrible crime which has de- prived the Lindberghs of their little son,” 1t was sald, “has been seized upon by wet propagandists who demand me, abrogation of prohibition ‘because it has caused lawlessness. “Prohibitionists resent and denounce 85 an utter falsehood the assertion that | the prohibition law bas caused crime, or that they themselves support crime | in upholding that policy.” The statement declared the responsi- bility for fimancing the underworld lay | with those who dealt with bootleggers | and incited others to break the law, rather than with the prohibitionists. | The board advocated “merciless war” | on places where liquor is sold or gam- bling allowed, as a direct blow at crime keadquarters.
