Hazen then pointed out there were 81 murders in the District last year, 77 of which were cleared by the police. “I think that’s a good record,” he declared. Hazen also insisted he had used every weapon at his command to rid Washington of crime and that he is constantly “bearing down” on mem- bers of the force, He said a series of monthly conferences with police cap- tains had been planned to keep in close touch with the developments. No Extensive Gangs Here. In answer to a barrage of questions fired at him by committee members Hazen insisted there are no extensively organized gangs in Washington. He explained that at different times the | so-called “Purple Gang” of Detroit had operated in the District, as well as the notorious Tri-State gang. “But,” he added, “we have made it right hot for the gamblers recently.” Hazen subsequently explained that with an adequate police force and ad- ditional legislation he believed the crime situation could be suppressed. He said, however, there is a crying need for new quarters for the Police, | Juvenile and Municipal Courts, which the Commissioners some years ago planned to provide in the proposed Municipal Center. Brown Follows Hazen. Maj. E. W. Brown, superintendent of police, who followed Commissioner Hazen, said control of crime, traffic| and gambling were the chief problems confronting the District and that an adequate police force and tighter| gambling laws would aid materially | in their solution. Maj. Brown pointed out there had been a large increase in population in the District in the last several years and among the newcomers were a number of undesirables. He explained, however. that in the meantime the ( personnel of his force had not been increased. Schulte asked Maj. Brown if he | thought legalized gambling would solve the crime problem. He replied | he believed it would to some extent and explained the control of gambling | would have to be placed under Police | Department supervision, and that legalized gamblers would have to be persons of “responsible reputation.” Cites Difficulties. With the increase in population, Maj. Brown said, there had been an increase in gambling, especially the | “numbers game,” which is compara- tively new. He admitted that em- ployes in virtually all Government departments were betting on the “numbers game,” and pointed out the difficulty of controlling this condition under existing law. The committee devoted considerable time to a discussion of a reported in- crease in the number of undesirable | women and Maj. Brown said the sit- | Sti:l unaware that his parents were drowned when the Mohawk sank, little Creighton Telfer, 5, is shown in he cared for his baby brother, 3 months old.

He declared the present law only imposes & maximum $25 fine for pros- titution, which he believes is not ade- quate.

Brown will complete his testi- mony at the second hearing, which will begin tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. BETROTHAL OF INGRID TO FREDERICK DENIED| Swedish Cabinet Secretariat Spikes Report Princess to Wed Dan- ish Prince.

FATHER COUGHLIN ATTACKS COURT Asks Radio Audience Send Congress Objections to Adherence. By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, January 28.— Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, who climaxed his attack on American adherence to the World Court here Sunday with the opinion that it was a “dead horse,” waited today for the results of his appeal to his audience to deluge Congress with telegrams opposing ad- herence. His “dead horse” characterization of the World Court issue was hurled in reply to severe criticism from the National World Court Committee in New York which described his Sun- day anti-court speech as “false” in parts, Father Coughlin’s Sundsy sermon which brought him into conflict with the Pro-Court Committee in New York, included a renewal of his at- tack on Norman H. Davis, United States Ambassador at large. He said he was refusing Davis’ request that he retract previous assertions that Davis was associated with the Kreuger-Toll Match Corp. and was “interested in * * ¢ arranging the sale of Kreuger- Toll products in America.” RADIO ADDRESS CRITICIZED.

In a signed statement, 10 widely known members of the committee | said “we feel it our duty to correct any misapprehension which the reck- less words of Father Coughlin may have raised in the minds of any of his radio audience.” The signers were Newton D. Baker of Cleveland, former Secretary of War; Everett Colby, New Jersey Re- publican leader; John W. Davis, for- mer Ambassador to Great Britain Philip C.

Hitler and his followers can look back on two years’ unprecedented con- centration of power in the hands of the party.

The unification of Germany has been accomplished in 2 manner to cause wonderment abroad. State lines and state traditions have been vir- tually abolished and the one concep- tion, “I am a German,” placed in its stead. The Nazi dream of uniting all em- ployers and workers in one large Ger- man labor front, has been only par- tially realized. Certain economic or- ganizations of the employing and owning class have kept aloof from such alignments. Having failed to hit it off well with Mussolini, Hitler has set as his next foreign political objective an under- standing with Germany's arch enemy, Prance.
