...Last week President Hoover received and turned over to the Press another report from his National Commission on Law Observance & Enforcement, which has sunk into anticlimactic obscurity since it dealt with Prohibition. Its findings dealt with prosecutions. As all the world knows it discovered an evil link between criminal organizations and local politics. Declared the report: "In some cases campaign funds are derived from what amounts to licensed violations of the law." It found that the grand jury had ceased to be an agency for real criminal investigation, advised that it be done away with as a source of indictments...

His abhorrence of all that is cheap and tainted is great; he is far distant from political graft...

Besides magnifying Freud's effects on psychology, philosophy, art, drama, education and law, all certainly profound, Dr. Wittels begins his gloria in excelsis by linking Goethe and Freud. He ends with Einstein and Freud. The Goethe-Freud link is generally justifiable. Both men began as empirical investigators and ended as rationalizing scientists. And it was a Goethe essay which transformed Dr. Freud's early disinclination to medicine into a probing interest. The Einstein-Freud theory shows that Dr. Wittels has knowledge of Albert Einstein, Sir Arthur Eddington...
