Militant Public Held Essential to Reduce Crime Judge Curran Speaks To Federation of Business Men The crime problem will remain acute until there is a persistent and militant demand by the public for better administration of criminal justice. Judge Edward M. Curran of the Police Court told the Fed eration of Business Men's Associa tion last night at the organiza tion’s monthly dinner-meeting at the Hamilton Hotel. “It is only a dream of the vision aries that some day an aroused public opinion will eliminate or ganized crime," Judge Curran said. “Organized crime will never be elim inated, but it may be minimized and controlled whenever public sen timent is sufficiently aroused, stays aroused and is wisely directed,” he caid. The permanent solution does not lie in force and punishment, but | with the family, the school, the I church and the community, Judge Curran said, adding that it is essen tial for parents to rear their chil dren in paths of obedience and re spect for authority. After citing the school as an im portant factor in training of chil dren, Judge Curran said failure of parents and children to attend church and Sunday school is threat ening the church’s “influential place it held in days agone as a most ef fective force in crime prevention.” In its attempt to eliminate slums, the Roosevelt administration is wag-! ing war against the breeding place of crime, he said. “In this war on crime we stand j as men in the ranks of humanity j who are under the law of duty that j allows us no stopping place short of! our utmost capabilities. Whatever in human nature is hopeful, gener- i ous. aspiring—the love of God and trust in man—is arrayed on one side and on that side let us stand,” i Judge Curran concluded.

Seal. He held that the Commissioners were without authority to permit the use of District property for the requested purpose or to enter into a lease or contract with the pistol club. He advised the Commission ers, therefore, they could not accede to the request unless and until Con gress had specifically granted them authority. At a board meeting to day the Commissioners upheld Mr. Seal's decision. Maj Ernest W. Brown is said to have been sympathetic to the plan for the pistol club but raised ques tions about the authority of the Commissioners to approve the idea. The application was filed for the Georgetown group by John Paul Jones. Government Employes To Meet Sunday L. A.
