Chief Steckel Airs Opinions
National Depression Due To Evasion of Laws, Says Police Head
Discussing the civic police problems of today and the duty of college students as future citizens to aid in law enforcement, Roy E. Steckel, chief of the Los Angeles police department, addressed the all-university assembly last Friday morning.
Chief Steckel, wrho was introduced by Orv Mohler, stated that one of the chief causes of the depression in the United States is the increased evasion of the law.
Turning to the particular problem of Los Angeles, Chief Steckel said, “Probably in no walk of life j is it so necessary to have a background of experience as in law j enforcement. In my office the i other day were four men whose ■ total record of police service ex- | ceeds 90 years. Yet if that much j experience was rolled into one man he would have to admit he I knew very little about the cause ■ of crime.
“Each person feels that the law ; should be enforced to the- letter on everyone but himself,” stated Chief Steckel.

Russia Cancels Importation of New Machinery
MOSCOW, Feb. 26.—(UE)—The government today revealed that over $10,000,000 worth of scheduled machinery imports and equipment for railroads and industry had been cancelled because the goods now can be manufactured with soviet Russia.
The order prohibited importation of many items heretofore bought abroad, including railroad cars, locomotives, automatic car couplings, cranes, oxygen equipment, electric motors, generators, blast furnaces, and dozens of other machines and parts.
The move was partly dictated by the necessity of reducing purchases abroad. Nevertheless, it was regarded as impressive proof of the progress the soviet union is making towards the goal of industrialization which is making coutnry incerasingly self-sufficient.
Domestic manufactures in the past year have replaced costly importations of elevators, mill equipment and bricks.
For example, the sixth turbogenerator, installed in the past week at the plant at Dnieper, was made in Russia, although the initial five were bought in the United States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—(U.E)— The greatest financial problems in the history of the nation will confront the new administration after March 4.
