New York—eoiut’on the
"baffling murder of Mrs. Nancy
Evans Titterton, New York au-
thor and matron—a crime to
-which practically the only clue
was an 18-inch strand of twine
*—marks another triumph for
the scientific department of
•criminal investigation.
The success of the scientific
unit of New York police depart-
ment in bringing to justice John
Fiorenza, who allegedly confes-
sed to the crime, illustrates the
amazing evolution in the mod-
ern methods of criminal detec-
tion.
In recent years authorities
have come to the conclusion that
that the only possible method
| of combating the modern crirni-
| nal is to match his use of scien-
! ce by adding the armament of
1 science’s instruments to such
more orthodox weapons as fire-
arms, tear gas and fingerprints.
Such a crime as the Titter-
ton case adequately illustrates
the value of science in carrying
on the investigation beyond a
point where the efforts of de-
tectives and police leave off.
Recognition of this fact has
been responsible for organiza-
tion of scientific units as ad-
juncts to the police depart-
ments of many cities, including
New York, Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland. Los Angeles, Vien-
na, Paris and Berlin.

Mexico Hopes for Future Peace
General Hermann Goering, right, Prussian premier and minister of
aviation, became virtual “assistant dictator’’ of Germany following
his appointment by Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler as comptroller of raw
materials and foreign currencies, an advancement which may weaken
the position of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, economic minister and the
president of the Reichsbank, a figure long powerful in German na-
tional financing.

The same political storm that swept former President Plutarco Elias
Calles into exile in United States, perhaps forever, appears to have
left in its wake a Mexico hopefully facing a long period of com-
parative tranquility. President Lazaro Cardenas’ drastic order for
deportation of the former “strong man of Mexico’’ seems to have
cleared up^ a tense situation which began with the return of CalleA
from voluntary exile six months ago. Calles found that his former
political ally, by the simple expedient of giving the people some of
the things which Calles had promised them when he was in power
but had not fulfilled, has established himself in an impregnable
position. Cardenas foresaw ihe inevitable showdown which must
result if Calles remained in Mexico. He anticipated the situation
his order deporting the former “strong man”. It may be that this ^
sudden turn in Mexican politics will mark the beginning of a mor<
tranquil era and one more prosperous for the nation at large.
