U.S. CRIME
Washington, Mar. 15. Big-jawed, black-eyed J. Edgar' Hoover, chief of the famous federal detectives called “G” men, has offered the national plan to rid it of the 1,445,000 crime cases it suffers a year.
Fresh from a campaign which mnde kidnapping a rarity within a few months after he got Congres- sional power to crush it, Hoover Buys other flourishing crimea can be suppressed if police got the power. It will take a break-down of the ancient system now
have operation by which police control over only small local areas, he saertel.

the Hoover is no relation to former president of the samo zame, but he is nearly as famous because of the success his "operators" in the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion had against kidnappers. Out of 62 cases submitted to the bureau after kidnapping was declared by Congress to be a federal crime, nil have been solved and most of the offenders apprehended.
His men are called "G" men, as short for Government men, and in contrast to local or state police.
Short "Arm Of Law"
Crime thrives throughout the United Staten chiefly because the "arm of the Law** Is so short and the miles a criminal can travel in modern times so great, according to Hoover. Instead, of being able to reach across the con- tinental span of the United States to reize criminals apceding from the Acenes of their violence, polica are! confined generally to operation in tiny state boundaries, atop mast of them.
Discussing the general crims prob lem, Hoover said:

Potty Criminals
emphasised criminals start in petty local breaches of the law and then expand their operations Into wider, more violent actions. Ho elted this as a double reason for relaxation of the laws mum regarding police activity. The local police must be stricter in enforcing laws so as to prevent the Piart of crime, and be freer to co-operato with each other in suppression of big crime.
The present system of localised police control, arose from the virtual Independence of states in the early days of the nation. Federal police were not permitted to interfere with local affairs. This has permitted thousands of criminals to escape punishment by crossing state border lines of which there are more than 126,000 miles in the US,
"All of us know," sald Hoover, "too well that there is a beaten track of criminality moving from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border, with side shoots which often reach to the constlines of the Atlantic and the Pacific. Crime, when it becomes truly predatory thing, know no boundaries."
Polico Blocked By Law "However, the harassed officer who must pursue that criminal finds him. soif blocked by statutes and laws at elty, county, or states lince. There- fore, in the apprehension of these de predatory characters, it becomes neces sary to overcome almost insurmount able obstacles.
"If the pursuit by an officer must stop at a county line, then indeed law la outwitted unless the officer of the next county takes up the chase, and the officers of other states nazist, plus tho action of such organisations of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, of which I am proud to be the head.
The adage of the chain being no stronger than its weakest link is here exemplified. Let co-operation falter and the chase indeed becomes a dif- ficult ono."
"The Fodoral Bureau of Investiga tion believes that the secret of crime eradication lies in solidarity and the combined linking of all law enforce ment agencies.. Much already has boen done along this line and with every forring of a now link in this chain of co-operation, wo find an added impetus in the war against crime."
Hoover
out that the nation- pointed al system of finger-printing already had produced great results, and help- od apprehend criminals as far away
as Egypt and Bouth Africa,
In the recent kidnapping case of Charles F. Urachel, the trail of the of criminals aprond from the stato Oklahoma into Toxna.
"From Teans," Hoover said, "It spread to an expanse of the United States greater than that of continental Europe, and led to the wiping out, not only of a kidnap band, but of all the roots of crime which had support od this band. Persons who had har boured the criminals were taken before the bar of justico, Olbers who had assisted them in hiding or passing the money were convicted.
