" A—6 * HONOR ROLL ASKED IN WAR ON CRIME Hoover Proposes Natiohal Memorial to Officers Slain by Criminals. Calling for a “national roll of honor” to list casualties in the crime war, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to- day declared an average of one law enforcement officer per week is slain | by the underworld. For every officer killed, however, | nine criminals pay with their lives, he told the International Association of Chiefs of Police in convention at Kansas City, Mo. He expressed regret there are no | facilities at present for establishment of an honor roll, “so that the public might know the names, the careers and the citations- which belong to these heroes of today's war on crime, and thus pay them the appropriate homage they so justly deserve.” If such a national memorial should become a reality, he said, the F. B. L. would like the privilege of placing the names of its slain agents alongside those of murdered policemen. 1200 Criminals Shot. “In the last three years,” Hmv!r( declared, “during the most terrible pe- | riod of criminal history in America, it has been necessary for the law- enforcement agencies of the United States to shoot approximately 1,200 desperate law violators who resisted arrest, of whom the Federal Bureau of Investigation killed nine.” Hoover derided “a notion in certain peculiarly solicitous quarters that a | professional killer should be given a | *“fair chance’ to kill an arresting offi- | cer.” “Jailing machine-gun bandits,” he said, “is not a&porting affair. It isa grim business in which the forces of law should reduce their chances of being shot to a minimum.” Hoover also asserted that expert tes- timony in the courts is in danger of | being discredited before the bar of public opinion because of “charlatans in the field of scientific crime detec- tion.” He said “individual private ex- perts” have criticized the F. B. I policy of lending laboratory experts to policemen and prosecutors in non- | Federal cases, on the ground that this | policy “cuts in” on their business. | To Cnnhnnc Aid. “May I point out,” he said, “that | the bureau intends to continue this | assistance wherever possible. It is my definite opinion that our service in this respect to local officers is a pro- | gressive and constructive move, of definite aid to law enforcement. “I look forward to the day when ‘expert testimony’ in criminal cases in all our courts will be given by wit- nesses trained and skilled in their par- ticular specialty, and predicated upon | careful analysis of the evidence with- | out regard to passing expediency— Ppolitical or monetary.” Demetrius Was Realist. Demetrius, an Attican sculptor in the early part of the fourth century, | B.C., was famed for his realism of | portraits.

MARBLE FALLS, Tex., September 22—Flood waters of the Colorado River inundated fertile farm lands today as they moved downstream at a few miles an hour -toward Austin. They were expected to reach the cap- ital, 55 river miles from here, late tonight or early tomorrow, The river reached a flood stage of 27 feet here. A peak of about 50 feet | was predicted. It was expected to reach 30 to 35 feet at Austin. A 29- | foot stage would block the highway between San Antonio and Dallas, and | cut off South Austin from the rest of the city, Highway Engineer J. B. Early said. ‘The known dead remained at two, but damage to crops, highways, homes and bridges continued to mount be- yond the $5,000,000 mark. At Bend, more than a score of homes and stores were under water. ‘Women, their possessions swept down- stream, wept as they eyed the rain- gorged stream. The river spread out over a wide area at Bend, after reaching an esti- mated depth of 50 to 60 feet a few | miles to the north.

[ XERCISE builds a powerful arm by drawing to it an extra supply of rich, tissue-building blood. The scalp demands exercise or the blood supply diminishes . . . the hair starves, falls out and baldness results. Yet exercising the scalp is possible only through external manipulations, to which human hands are not equal. My system of alternating vecuum- pressure manipulation exercises the scalp as efficiently as swinging a hammer developes the arm of the blacksmith, drawing to it the blood supply on which hair life depends. This, after causative factors have been diagnosed ond eliminated, produces a new growth in cases long considered hopeless. No Charge for Consuliation F. D.
