‘CRIME BODY HELD BOONTOTAXPAYER Hepbron Declares New As- sociation Will- Cut En- forcement Costs. Taxpayers of the District will bene- fit from operations of the new Wash- ington Criminal Justice Association, in the opinion of James M. Hepbron, acting director. Speaking before the Junior Board of Commerce of the District of Columbia at the Lee House yesterday, Hepbron explained that wherever a criminal Justice association or commission had been in operation, in this country or abroad, it had always resulted in in- creased efficiency of law enforcement and decreased crime, thus reducing the cost of the administration of Justice. The same thing will happen here in the District, Hepbron pre- dicted. Efficiency Cuts Cost. | “To you taxpayers I want to say that | as the efficiency of enforcement goes up the cost to the city goes down,” he declared. A criminal justice commission is | not a detective agency, it is not a “head-hunting” agency, declared the acting director. “It is an unofficial | fact-finding and research body. It | has no power other than that of a | research body backed by the force of | public opinion.” In making a study of crime here in the city, the speaker declared, the | associaition was studying all “crimes known to police,” and would follow them through every stage of pro- cedure to final disposition of each | case. Effects Co-operation. | “Officials are always anxious to| work out problems raised by criminal Jjustice commissions,” said the direc- tor. “They welcome any movement | which will get behind them the force ! ©of public opinion.” | Hepbron is making a series of ad- | dresses before civic and fraternal or- | ganizations of the city on the needl for the new Criminal Justice Asso- | ciation here and what it is designed to do for the National Capital. | Guests at the luncheon yesterday | ‘were Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superin- tendent of police, who was highly praised by Hepbron: Elwood Seal, corporation counsel, and Eiwood Street, director of public welfare. Presiding was John S. Bleecker, jr., vice president of the organization. ANTI-WAR MANDATE 70 OPEN D. C. DRIVE 50,000 Signatures to Be Sought. Committee Meets Sunday.
