By the Associated Press. The organized drive against crime was carried into the States yesterday by an aroused group of men and women who pledged themselves to ending the gangsters’ reign, Fresh from Attorney General Cum- mings’ Crime Conference, the 600 lead- ers—lawyers, police officials, business men and women, teachers, editors— planned to seek the greatest co-ordi- nation of local law enforcement agen- cies with renewed efforts to educate youth against crime and to overhaul legal machinery. They will report to Attorney Gen- eral Cummings from time to time and stand ready to return for another conference, possibly next year. Their rallying cry, adopted at the conference which closed Thursday night, is: “It is inconceivable that this Nation can continue to permit murders, pil- laging and racketeering with im- punity.” Institute Is Voted. The conference delegates voted for a national institute of criminology, which would be a combined training school for police officers and a center of the finest of scientific cftme de- tection and prevention equipment. They determined, however, that there should be no Federal encroachment upon State authority. Holding that “modern conditions demand modern methods,” the dele- gates hoped to convince their State leaders that many reforms were needed, and that agreements should be entered into with adjoining States to make it possible for the police of one State to pursue their quarry across State lines, One proposal for co-ordination of State law enforcement agencies called for State departments of justice. They have been set up in several States, but in others great opposition has developed. During the confer- ence, itself, there were many disputes over centering complete legal author- ity in a State capital. Education Planned. New efforts were planned to draw more closely together all agencies dealing with youth as one of the “most fundamental and hopeful meas- ures of crime prevention.” State and national leadership was asked to help co-ordinate these agencies and to provide “constructive educational, vocational and recreational activities for youth.” Strengthening of parole systems will be attempted. One recommen- dation in this direction would require that the names of all persons indors- ing a prisoner for parole be made ublic on the request of the press “or any responsible person or organ- ization.” The conferenge decided that no parole should be granted ex- cept where adequate employment and rigid supervision were provided. The delegates also pledged them- selves to work for improvement of criminal procedure. As a means of making more certain that dangerous criminals do not escape, States will be asked to change their laws so that convictions may be obtained in crimi- HOES READY FOR CHRISTMAS?

The conference proposed that States adopt a “principle that a criminal defendant offering a claim of alibi of insanity in his defense shall be required to give advance notice to the prosecution of this fact and of the circumstances to be offered, and that in the case of absence of such notice, a plea of insanity or a defense based on an alibi shall not be per- mitted upon trial except in ex- traordinary cases in the discretion of the judge.” Another proposal was that States adopt a rule permitting court and counsel to comment to the jury on the failure of defendant in & criminal case to testify in his own behalf.
