Fortunately, there was a decline of 6.6 per cent | in arrests of minor girls, but these arrests exceeded by 30 per cent those in the like category in 1941 Com- menting on the meaning of these statistics, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the bureau, points out that in all too many instances homes have become merely places of living in contrast to places of learning. It should be shocking to all of us to learn from | this bulletin that serious crime occurred every 18. | seconds during 1947. The total for the year for th mes of felonious homicide, rape, robbery, aggravatecd L ult, burglary, larceny and auto theft reached a total 1,665,110. There was an increase in the rural | areas in many of the more serious crimes, but declines ! | in auto theft, murder and negligent manslaughter | On the other hand, most of the more serious crimes | showed a decline in urban areas, amounting to 5.1 per | cent. Citles with 100,000 population or more showed | a higher ratio of crime than did smaller communities ( during the past year. How disturbing the present | situation is may be realized from' the fact that, com- | pared with the pre-war L averages for the years 193¢ | to 1941, murders showed an increase in the nation of 15.4 per cent in 1947 a The habitual criminal, es éver, played a large part | in the black record of crime, since more than 55 per | cent of the total number of persons arrested during the | d records of previous arrests. However, a& | Mr. Hoover points out, real reduction in the crime rate will not be realized until every adult recognizes his re- pensibility to youth and his own duty as a citizen. On Indoor Whistling (Cincinnati Enquirer) Some days ago somebody—we shall be nameless— | suggested this would be a happier world if everyone | whistled at his or her work. That's advice which should of salt. Indeed, we'd suggest the gra and the advice thrown away. { We can think of some jobs—outdoor jobs which | keep one on the move—where whistling might have its charms. But few habits are more distracting to mental | be taken with a grain in of salt be kept | n whistling. | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA gy ‘ APRIL 26 Sylvia Lister G. E.

GOP leader Charlie Halleck pleaded with colleagues not to force bills out of committee by signing discharge petitions. (He had reference to margarine. “These fellows who go around and promiscuously sign discharge peti- tions,” moaned Halleck, “make it hard on the committees.” . . . “I suppose the gentleman is hinting at me,” interrupted Indiana's Ed Mitchell. He pleaded guilty to cir- culating the petition to get the! margarine tax bill out of the Ag- riculture Committee. But, snapped Mitchell: “I notice the very peo- ple who hollered about it were the very ones who jumped the gun and' signed a petition with the Demo- crats for boosting REA (Rural Electrification Administration) ap- propriations.” “Every member has the right to do what he pleas- soothed Halleck. "But I be- lieve in party organization. I would never sign a discharge peti- tion myself.’ DISCOURAGING GOP ECONOMY August Andresen of Minnesota came in late. He had led the fight to keep margarine under tax bondage, but he started off right away, not knowing of Mitchell's remarks. “Some of the Republicans are helping to put over repeal of the margarine taxes” he grumbled. “That will only help the Southern cotton boys. The Northern dairy boys have always been the Republi- cans’ friends, and here you are cutting their throats.” Mitchell started to get up, chang- ed his mind, sat tight Wisconsin’s Frank Keefe made an appeal for economy, criticized colleagues who vote for local, special interest projects at the ex- pense of Republican economy “I's mighty discouraging in the Appropriations Committee,” com- plained Keeke, “to go over a mat- ter and spend time on it and do what you think is right, then have some Republicans come in and knock the props out.” There was a lively debate on the question of salary raises for postal employees. Congressman Charles Vursell of Illinois spoke out against the postal wage raise, contending that Government costs end ecxpenses were too great at the present time to warrant raises for any one department. Willlam H. Stevenson of Wisconsin re- plied blisteringly: “It isn't our fault that the cost of living has gone up while the Democrats were in control during the last 16 years.
