THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, B g, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1932. A7 ' e ———————————i S WICKERSHAM LAYS CRIME T0 SOCIETY Urges Helping Hand Be Ex- tended to Those Trying to Come Back. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 4.—Upon soclety's gbility to surround children “with Bealthy and harmless outlets for their patural spirits,” George W. Wickersham said last night, rests the root of the Nation's crime problem Warning that “whatever the offenses| of the individual toward society, the crimes of organized society toward the {ndividual are finitely greater, urged society to “extend a willing and helping hand to the boy or man seri- ously determined to come back.” Speaking before the Religious Educa- tion Association, Mr. Wickersham said Jack of statistics made it impossible to tell whether crime was increasing, but he added daily occurrences demon- | strated “that some of the boldest and | most brutal offenses are committed by very young men and women.” A large portion of these, he asserted, are “not criminally minded,” but the “products of circumstances and environment.” The ranks of the criminals will be filled steadily with children, he said, as long as children are allowed to grow up in sium areas, without playgrounds or boys' clubs; as long as “our jails re- main what they are,” as long as delin- quent boys and girls are brought in con- tact with seasoned offenders, and long as release of children on probation is “a pretense and furnishes no intelli- gent sympathetic guidance to a useful career.” ‘ TWO DISTRICT BILLS INDORSED BY CITIZENS | Capper Measures Provide 0ld-Age Pension and Auto Lia- bility. Two bills of Senator Capper of Kan- sas—an old-age pension and one fix- ing responsibility of non-resident mo- torists in automobile accidents involving civil liability within the District—were indorsed last night by the North Cleve- land Park Citizens' Association. \ ‘The association also agreed, at its| meeting in the Home for Incurables, to award prizes for the best gqrdens 1ni the community and a committee was named to select the prize winners. | In indorsing the automobile liability | bill the association urged the approval | of the District Commissioners and ?.he traffic director.

By the Associated Press. Representative Rainey, Democratic | leader, told newspaper men today the | new money plan for cash redemption of the soldiers’ bonus “hasn’t a chance of becoming a law this session.” Commenting on proposals for the $2,- 000,000,000 outlay after more than three weeks of continuous hearings, Rainey said the House Ways and Means | Committee “is not going to approve any such idea. The committee won't ap- prove any fiat mnm)‘,plan. and that is what that is. The Illinois leader is a ranking mem- | ber of the revenue group. It will hold its first closed meeting Thursday to | discuss the bonus bills. “The committee will not report such a drastic inflationary scheme, and even i its sponsors do get it out on the | floor, it cannot become law this ses- sion.” Rainey said “Xf a petition to discharge the com- mittee gets the necessary 145 signatures, May 23 would be the first day a vote could be had under the rules. Then, supp:se the House passed the bill, what chance would it have in the Senate that late in the session? “Personal'y, I wouldn't mind if they 1id get the bill out cn the floor for petion. It would sssure the country that no flat money plan is going to be come law and help business c-nfidence. Meanwhile, Representative Patman, Democrat, of Texas said the action o{ the Senate Finance Committee in strik- | ing from the tax bill zn estate re | valuation provision would prevent Sec- retary of the Treasury Mills “from making a personal inside raid on the Treasury.” Patman charged yesterday that the ‘Treasury head wou'd profit many mil- licns through this provision of the tax bill he helped wrife. He withdrew this criticism when Acting Chairman Crisp of the ccmmittee pointed out Mills had dsclined to make any recommendation on this section of the revenue bill. |TWO MEN ARRESTED IN SPECTACULAR CHASES One Accused of Transporting Liquor, Other Said to Have Fired on Officers.

Hodge reported he captured Jordan in an alley near Four- teenth and Iriving streets after other officers had chased the man from New York avenue and Fourteenth street Before surrendering, Jordan, ing to Hodge, threw several bottles from his car. | Kosch was arrested on Highway Bridge after a chase, in which he is sald to have fired four shots at his pursuers.
