GLUECK SAYS CRIME IN U. S. HAS FAR REACHING ASPECTS

Toronto, Canada, Sept. 23, 1929. The problem of crime in the United States is much more far reaching than even penologists have dreamed, according to a statement issued here yesterday by Sheldon Glueck of the faculty of the University law school.

Widespread crime, he said, is due to the transformation that contemporary civilization is undergoing, and the solution of the problem seems to lie in the closer study of social pathology.

Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing, who is also attending the prison congress here, said in an interview today that he is opposed to capital punishment because it does not act as a deterrent but topds rather to make heroes of criminals.
