.' After serious and lengthy dls
esslon of the matter last night,

Legion drum . corps,
without a dissenting rote carried
a motion that they should go to
the national . contention at De

pionship, which they won earlier
in the month, does - not mean
much to the crack Salem corps,
they said. .
At Wednesday night's meet
ing the corps members were wor
ried orer the- fact that several of
their number. probably would sot
be able to make the trip, for fi
nancial reasons. As a result the
decision was postponed until
those men would be ready to
state whether they would go with
the corps.

WASHINGTON. -Aug-. 21 (AP) A red ink entry ' of
.more than $1,000,000,000 was recorded today by the
Wickersham committee as but a fragmentary figure for the
cost of crime to the American people. ..- . : r
Declining even to "guess" at the total toll levied by
criminality, the commission nevertheless broke its figures
to show a yearly contributing 0 1 1
item of more than $34,000,000.
chargeable directly to federal pro
hibition enforcement.
Seen as , the first detailed, au
thoritative comparative analysis
of this cost iif dry law history,
the report asserted two-thirds of
all government funds for crim
inal law enforcement were ex
pended upon this one law. It was
estimated as costing 32 cents per
capita annually, and as requiring
1.03 per cent of the annual fed
eral expenditures for all pur
poses. " . j
The bulky, 5 7-page report up
on the "cost of crime" addressed
to President Hoover, pointed out
that despite the page upon page
of Impressive statistics assembled
it waa "wholly impossible" to
reach an accurate total figure.
Goldthwaite II. Dorr and Sid
ney P. Simpson, New York law
yers, who wrote much of the doc
ument explained that limitations
of , time' and funds had made It
Impossible i to obtain totals attri
butable to racketeering, bootleg
ging, extortion, fraudulent bank
ruptcies,' thefts of uninsured
property, bucketshops, and all the
range of confidence games.
Nevertheless, the two experts
piled figure upon figure and sta
tistical table upon table until the
purposely junadded items swept
beyond $1,119,000,000. Even
this - Incomplete analysis pushed
the cost beyond $3,000,000 a day.

that four of the five other dis
