Friday, May 11, 1951 JUNEAU IS A GOOD TOWN Juneau is a pretty good town, according to Chiet of Police Bernard F. Hulk, and he has figures to prove it. While arrests increased 44 per cent in 1950 over 1949 in rural areas in the United States at large, ac- cording to a recent report of J. Edgar Hoover, Di- rector of the Pederal Bureau of Investigation, Juneau was behaving itself pretty well. Arrests in Juneau in 1950 totaled 430 and in 1949, 467, Chief Hulk reports —a decrease of 8 per cent. There are other interesting trends pointed out by Mr. Hoover in his report recently released through Juneau’s FBI agent Tom Nally: A total of 1,790,030 major crimes were committed in the United States during 1950, or one major crime every 18 seconds. In an average day, 1,129 places were burglarized and 301 persons were feloniously killed or assaulted. | (Juneau had no murder recorded during 1950.) around the clock during report, there was a crime of murder, manslaughter, rape or assault to kill Urban crime in 1950 remained practically changed as compared with figures for 1949, but an of 44. per cent was registered for rural minutes | according FBI | ry 5 to the un- increase crime. Increases were noted in rural areas as follow: Aggravated jagsaults, 7.4 per cent; burglaries, 6.9 per cent; larcenies, 4.3 per cent; rapes, 3.8 per cent; man- slaughter by negligence, 3.0 per cent. “Youth played a predominant part in the com- of crimes against property,” says the FBI “28.9 per cent of the persons charged with robbery, burglary, larceny, auto theft, embezzlement, fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, receiving stolen prop- erty and arson were less than 21 years old.” Here Juneau's record is also under that of the United States, the percentage of juveniles involved with the law was only about 5 per cent—a total of 23 | mission report. during 1950 In the nation at large, police recovered 92 per cent of all stolen automobiles and recoveries on money jewelry, 19.7 per cent; furs, 6.4 per per cent and miscellaneous prop- erty, 280 per cent. The record of the Juneau police concern is superior, too, Mr. Hulk’s report Of 37 stolen articles, 23 were recovered and of 15 lost articles, 14 were located. The seasons, according to Mr. marked effect on crime. Murders, rapes and assaults during peak summer months exceed by approxi- { mately onesthird the frequency of “such crimes during low months in the colder seasons. Could our mild climate be given eredit for frequency of such crimes in Juneau? Or is trend resulting from the city government’s attembt to keep Juneau a good home town. “That is what we are trying to do,” Chief Hulk has said. “Keep Juneau a good clean town — safe to live in, safe for children,; safe for business.” 3 To compile the annual Uniform Crime Report_ of the FBI a total of 5211 agencies contributed in- formation to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Aside from the interest of comparing Juneau police activity with that of the nation—to Juneau's favor—the FBI report is of interest in that it makes |a reader realize that Mr. Hoover's famous bureau knows what is going on throughout the ‘country tn urban and rural areas, knows just what crimes are being committed where and why. The nation’s report is good. But we'll still take Juneau. were 12 per cent; cent; clothing, 16.5 Hoover, have ai in- it LAt noon — Lions club, Baranof.

For 5,000 units aren’t enough to satisfy the slum-clearance needs of one big defense center—like New York or Chicago—and the admin- istrative costs of a shoestring pro- gram will be so heavy that Con- gressional economyites are bound to follow up with a demand that the whole housing program 1is ditched. This is exactly what theiNational Association of home builders and other real-estate lobbyists ve been openly demanding—a suspen- sion of public housing altogether. FDR Jr. Was Absent Ironically, administration Demo- crats from big cities, which need public housing most, had as mugch to do with adoption of ghe Gossett Amendment—if not more—than the Republican-Dixiecrat coalition. Gossett and GOP Rep. Jesse Wolcott of Michigan, another real- estate lobby wheelhorse, cleverly forced a vote late Friday after members of the famous in-Tuesday- out-Thursday absentee club had made their usual mass exodus to New York and elsewhere. As a re- sult, the Gossett Amendment won by default, 181 to 113. Though New York would gain more than any other city from continuance of the public housing program, only five of its 24 House members were sufficiently inter- ested in their constituents to re- {main in Washington ° and _ vote; against Gossett.
