Wednesday, October 1 NOT THE WICKED Crime is on the upswing in rural areas, rather than in the cities, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its report for the first six months of 1950. Possibly our country cousins bear the stigma of wickedness so long associated with metropolitan areas. In a report, handed to The Empire by Tom Nally, FBI agent in Juneau, Director J. Ei attention to these trends: Crime increased 7.4 per cent in rural areas during the first six months of 1950 as compared with the first half of 1949. This is in contrast increase in the cities during the corresponding period. An upswing in rural crime was registered in every category except negligent manslaugh PR fhe—WashinQion Meny-Go-lh_und (Continued froin Page One) i posed to be doing for him in his Detroit office. A further check by this column in Detroit indicates that Mrs. De Porre hasn't been working for her father as his Con- gressional secretary at all. Mrs. De Porre also told this col- umn that she returned to work here between Easter and her July 8 wedding—fiay, but a, check at the House office building revealed this was not true. The real truth is that Congress. man Rabaut gave his daughter a $643.33-per-month wedding gift—at the taxpayer’s expense. John L. Lewis’s Friend It's no secret that New Hamp- shire’s Senator Styles Bridges, the No. 2 rRepublican of the Senate was paid $35000 a year as trustee for John L. Lewis's Miner's Wel- fare Fund. In addition, it also looks as if the shaggy-browed Lewis has been giving cues to Bridges regard- ing foreign policy. For several months, Bridges has been working closely with the State Department and moving into Sen- ator Vandenburg's shoes as the GOP spokesman on foreign affairs —second only to Senator Taft in Republican influence. But, sudden- ly, Bridges lashed out with a vit- riolic attack against the State De- partment. This attack, not prepared in Bridges' office at all, but by John L. Lewis's “public relations” firm, the Allied Syndi- cate. Tip-off came when the Bridges statements were delivered by mis- take to the wrong part of the Cap- itol. A press attendant called Bridg- es’ office to straighten out the er- ror, but no one in the Senator’s of- fice seemed to know about it. They didn't even know that he was mak- ing a statement on foreign policy. Later, Arthur Reilly, a former John L. Lewis press-relations man, straightened out the matter of the misplaced Bridges press releases. Reilly, after serving in United Mine Workers headquarters, trans- ferred to the Washington office of the Allied Syndicate, which works for Lewis. The Bridges statement, incidentally, was prepared while the Senator was out of the city. 8o it looks as if the $35,000 sal- ary paid by John L. Lewis was producing more from Senator Bridg- es than his services as trustee on the Miners’ Pension Fund. ! Admirals’ Propaganda The Admirals’ propganda outfit, “Operation 23,” was supposed to have been abolished after the B-36 feud of last fall. It was the cause of a bitter battle between the Alr Force and the Navy, with the re- sult that forthright Secretary of the Navy Matthews dispersed the Naval officers in charge. « However, it riow develops that the ghost of “Operation 23" is still haunting the Air Force. The same old anti-Air Force stories are be- it now develops, was] the arrests were During Januar 8, 1950 under 25 years of CITY cent of the total among persons ar will soon have to print car dgar Hoover calls These are the clear enough. to a 19 per cent sible. the opposite. ter and auto theft. Red Star takes. have been so accurate that Lhe_\" demolished the Woosang armament plants without even touching the | rows of workers' houses alon:.\ide.‘ Some admirals are also coming out into the open with the same views that got them into trouble over unification. Rear Adm. Stuart Ingersoll, for instance, harangued a recent conference of American mayors on the Navy’s success in Korea, as if the Air Force did not exist. “One of the main lessons of the Korean war,” declared Ad. Ingersoll, “was the great value of inherent mobility of the Navy forc- es.” . The Admiral pointed out that the Navy had sailed up and down the~Korean coast bombarding Com- munist positions, forgetting to men- | tion that there was no enemy Air ! Force to interefere with the Navy. | 1 | Army Fort President Truman stepped right into the middle of a row between two Republican Senators recently, when he scribbled his signature on a bill transferring Fort Des Moines to the State of Iowa. GOP Sen., Wayne Morse of Ore- gon had scornfully dubbed the bill the “Fort Des Moines Steal” but GOP Sen. Bourke Hickenlooper needed the bill to help his re-el-; ection fight, and, though Hicken- looper is a bitter foe of the Admin- istration, while Morse is a personal friend of Truman's, the President sided with his GOP enemy against his GOP friend. Morse opposed the bill on the ground that it was a pure polit- ical grab. “There are too many members of Congress making a political grab bag of the reservoirs of surplus property,” the Oregon Senator maintained. “The bill before us reeks with Towa politics.” “Where the carcass:s lie,” com- mented Sen. Paul Douglas of Tll- inois, sadly, “there the vultures love to feed.” Morse even carried his opposition to the point of writing Secretary of the Army Pace “The time to stop a raid on the Federal Trea- sury of giveawdy camp sites is right now.” { Taxpayer Pays And to President Truman, he wrote: “For two years certain pol- iticians from Iowa have tried to put through the Hickenlooper bi]l.-The | fact is, Mr. President, the whole| thing smells. I think you should | veto it for the healthy political effect it would have upon those| members of Congress who seem to! think that our supplies of surplus property should be used as a grab bag.” Mr. Truman, however, turned a deaf ear on his GOP friend, and signed the bill that helped his GOP enemy. Note—A prominent Iowa banker, van Vechten Shaffer, president of the Guaranty Bank and Trust of | Des Moines, wrote Hickenlooper u‘-} garding the Fort Des Moines bill:! “Haven't you learned that nothing| is for free? If the government of the United States through the Sen- {ate is fool enough to give us Fort Des Moines, what are they giving £ ry-June, approximately one-half of all crimes against property were committed by person: rested and fingerprinted I or major violations.
