IllNCIIAM DISCUSSES OlTIilt WASHINGTON, Apr. 23 Sena tor Bingham, Republican, Connecti cut, said hi the senate, today that the fact that Al Capone has twice offered to find the kidnaped Lind bergh baby if released from custody, lends support to the belief "that it has been done by friends of Capone for this very purpose." The senator said that color also was enabled lent to this belief by "the fact that it has been necessary to turn to gangsters" for aid In recovering the child. . ; : . : Bingham described Capone as a gangster leader who made his money out of beer rackets and bootlegging. Ho Bald, however, he did not believe the Lindbergh kidnaping was entirely due to prohibition but added he felt congress must "face the fact" that the dry laws "have mado enormous prof Its available to gangsters and rack eteers." '"The sooner wu repeal the' eight eenth amendment and the Volstead act and permit each stato to pass the kino, of prohibition law desired by tho majority of its citizens," he said, "the sooner will we diminish tho enormous profits which aro now going into the pockets or criminals and helping theth to carry, out dif ficult crimes successfully." He placed In tho congressional rec ord a resolution adopted by tho Los Angeles aviators post of the Ameri can Legion which blames the prohi bition for the gangster activities which It believes responsible for the crime. ' . - t . '.- ' : Senator Bingham described as "as- tonlshlng the statement in the morn-' ing1-papers that Capone has again of- -fcrcd .to aid In finding the Lind bergh child." ' "Tho crime- of kidnaping la not V a new crime," Bingham said, "and I do not believe that it has been caused by prohibition. At the same time it must bo obvious, to everyone , that the successful financing or ' ciijme on a large scale has .unqucs-; : tlonably bepn dde to . tho enormous profits of the bootleggers. . j "The government has lost hundreds . Of millions of dollars in revenue -i Which has. gone ; into bootleggers ; pockets as profit. : These profits hava them to finance crime on i hitherto unparalleled scale. i "Although I cannot agree fully : With my various correspondents who blamo the kidnaping' of the LI ml 4 ' bergh baby entirely on tho prohibi tion laws I have the jureatest sym-v pathy with the position which they iavo taken I do feel that the time has come for the congress to faco tho fact called attention to by the Los Angeles aviators that our exist-: Ing national prohibition lows have mad enormous profits avallablo to gangsters and racketeers."
