FEDERAL SYSTEM OF POLICE URGED Impression Grows Bootleg- ging Is Not Behind All U. S. Racketeering. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Suggestions that a Federal police Rorce be created are being made. It somes with ominous circumstances, as $he eighteenth amendment is i process f being repealed and the Nation is ob- Berving a wave of kidnaping end other tackets. Already word has gone out from the Department of Justice that friends of those who are victims of kidnaping should immediately notify the Federal suthorities, The inference is that the local police may or may not be in col- lusion with the gangsters or may be too timid about incurring the 1ll-will of the racketeers. Before prohibition, however, had de- veloped a real rackel"«"’u"; element there were complaints about crime. Immediately after the war the wave of crime rose to unprecadented heights. As racketeering spread and the crim- inals found easy mon:y in the liquor traffic, the public assumed that the failure of the police locally to appre- hend the racketeers was due to the wide use of money to bribe policemen and local officials. Ever since then prchibition has been the smoke screen behind which the rackeieer has been hiding and most people have been ready to believe that when prohibition was eliminated there would bs an erd to| racketeering. Growing in Other Fields. But the unpleasant truth 1is that rackets have been growmng in 1ecent years other than liquor traffic and that jocal police seem to have been as help- less to stcp them as they were the prohibition gangsters. The Wicker- sham Commission was really a commis- ion for the study of crime of all kinds. ittle attention was paid to its detailed $tudies, especially what it had to say Bbout the breakdown cf the American m‘nce system. The Lindbergh kidnap- showed how clumsily the police de- partments of various subdivisions of our Government work and how little co-0p- eration is possible under the present Bet-up of detached responsibilities. It may dawn on the American public g:\nion when the eighteenth amend- ent is repealed and rackets have not been stopped that possibly local gov- ernments have been enjoying & splen- Hid alibi ever since the eighteenth | lmmendment was adopted and that pro- ibition was not entirely responsible or the deterioration of the system 6f riminal detection in American cities. | Will Press on Government. In proportion as the people gener- Rlly demand the apprehension of crim- | inals and racketeers of all kinds and ' fail to obtain satisfaction through local governments, they will press upon the Federal Government for action. The pressure is already here. Every day there is discussion of a new Federal police force. When Congress recon- venes we shall hear more of it. Until now it has been said crime detection was difficul* because the people had no svmpathy with the prohibition law. Bu! the public certainly has no sympath: with other rackets, especially kldulp- i So the answer may be found in ncompetence of the American po- ystem, due either to the ineffi- s that politics brings, as com- to European cities, where police agement is not a matter of elec- or it may be due to insufficient nds for detective work. y unless the situation im- materially in the next six we shall see legislation toj elop a national police force under the ccntrol of the Federal Government and operating across State lines. It would be recruited from the corps of prohibition agents, many of whom will shortly be dismissed. Some of them have become excellent detectives and daring investigators, with a rather ex- tensive knowledge of graft and corrup- tion in local police systems.

PONTIAC, Mich.,, July 18—A 22- year-old mother who engaged in a gun duel with an intruder in her home was dead today, her 4-year-old daughter near death, and the accused slayer dead by his own hand. The husband, at work when the tragedy occurred, said Mrs. Rose Gay- lock, the slain woman, had been sub- jected to the unwelcome attentions of Charles King, 32, the man police said killed her. Police found Mrs. Gaylock dead of gunshot wounds late last night, shortly after neighbors had reported hearing shots, and the child apparently dying, her skull crushed by a heavy blow. The husband, when police notified him at the factory where he worked,| urged that King be sought. When a squad of policemen went to the house where King lived with his parents, there was a shot in an upstairs room and the fugitive was found dying of a bul- let wound in his head. King also bore wounds in the knee and hand and police said they were inflicted by Mrs. Gaylock as she fought for her life. One Killed, 17 Injured. NEW ALBANY, Ind, July 18 (P).— Roy C.

By the Assoclated Press. ‘The problem of “bridging the chasm between high school and college” is worrying some of the Nation's leading educators. Lack of effective guidance of the student in both secondary and higher institutions and a confusing multiplicity | of- different college entrance require- | ments are called great hindrances to a co-operative program in a report of the national survey of secondary education. A Nation-wide study of high schools was made for a period of three years, under the auspices of the United States Office of Education. William J. Cooper, Federal commissioner of education, was director of the survey and Dr. Leonard V. Koos of the University of Chicago, p, was assoclate director. Thirty-six different types of require- ments in admitting students were re- ported by 517 colleges. This maze of requirements, the report said, demon- strated the fact either that there are no admittedly superior standards of ad- mission or that the superiority of cer- tain ones has been accepted on the basis of studies of isolated cases. Combination of Criteria. Many of the colleges use a combina- tion of entrance criteria. It was found that 25 methods of admission are used | singly for regular and special students. Eleven other methods are used in vari- | cus combinations of entrance require- | ments. Twenty-three per cent of the | 517 institutions reported that regular students may gain admission by means of the high school diploma. This method is used most frequently in the normal schools. Sixty-three per cent of the 517 insti- tutions admit regular students on the basis of a high school transcript of credits. The West leads in using this method, with 80 per cent of the institu- tions resorting to it, compared with 20 per cent of the institutions using it in New England. Twenty-six per cent of the institu- tions allow regular students to qualify for entrance by passing with a satisfac- tory grade the college board examina- tions. This practice is most prevalent mong the larger schools in the New England region and among the public colleges and universities. - Among the single methods of admis- sion are the high school subject certifi- | cate, college aptitude test, character | rating. health certificate, permission of the president or other official, business experience, honorable dismissal from previous school, college work require- | ments and teachers certificate. The | intelligence test as the only method of admitting students is rare.
