C., Oct. 8.— (WNS)—Key West requires less than average police protection, it was learned today from a Federal Bureau of Investigation survey. According to the FBI survey, Key West had 21 police depart- ‘ment employes on April 30 of this year, for an average 98 per cent of the nation’s urban popu- lation, the average number of employes per 1,000 inhabitants was given as 1:67 by the FBI. Key West’s police protection is , greater than the average for all} U. S. cities in its size group— those which in 1940 had popula- | tions between 10,000 and 25,000. Cities in this group maintain an average of 1.23 employes per ‘1,000 population. All cities in the South Atlantic states maintain an average of 1.28 ;employes per 1,000 inhabitants, while cities in the Key West size group in these states average 1.48 | employes per 1,000 population. The number of employes per 1,000 inhabitants ranged from 90 in cities under 10,000 popu- lation in the West North Central states to 2.84 in New England cities with over 250,000 inhabi- tants, FBI said. bas Bulletins (By Associated Press) EARLY REPLY WASHINGTON. — Bernard j Baruch, head of the United States Atomic Bomb Commission, said today he will issue a reply short- ly to the criticism of the com- mission by Henry Wallace.
