Edgar Hoover, reported recently that more than two million major crimes were committed in the United States last year. It was a record crime total for the United States | and the first time that the two willion mark had been passed. in this country, Moreover, the crime rate rose faster than the rate of population incrrease, thus showing that crime, per thous- and inhabitants, is increasing. It is estimated that the Unit- ed States gains about 1,500,000 inhabitants a year. But even allowing for this increase, which would allow for some increase in crime without pushing the Percentage tate upward, the number of major crimes reported by the F. B. I. shows that the rate, as well as the number of crimes, is sharply up. The seriousness of the Hoover report is seen in . the statement by the FBI chief that every category of major crime showed an increase in 1952. Mr. Hoover reports that 4 major crime was committed every fifteen and one-half seconds during last year and that a felonious homicide, rape, or aggraved assault was committed every four and a half minutes, va The United States, asa gountry, has* much: to be proud po pale Pies ory laws and the freedom allowed the individual, are unsurpassed in any other coun- try in the world, In the realm of crime, however, the coun- try’s record leaves much to be desired. The popular notion spread abroad by Communists and other Europeans, that the United States is a place of gangster killings, terror and sudden death is too often substantiated by actual events While taken as a whole and considering all virtues as well as failings, we feel sure that life in the United States is.the most fruitful on earth. The crime rate which is steadily rising is a black mark on the record of our country. Because the United States citizen is the most highly educated in the world, on the average, and because he en- joys the highest standard of living in the world, it is only natural to expect a much lower crime rate in the United States than in any country. While many countries must contend with rates even higher than in the U.S., there are many with a lower rate than that of the United States, even though the population has not been blessed with the educational advantages of Americans. This seems to indi- cate a need for morte law enforcement officers and better preventative measures in the war on crime. Every community in the country can do its shate by cleaning out corruption in law enforrcement agencies, cleaning up breeding areas for crime, as demonstrated by electing public officials of integrity and courage. Everybody thinks he is being careful, but an Ameri- can dies every fifteen minutes on the highways of the na- tion. | } ese extraho imstrumento, NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO LA RUMBA CUBANA ‘Cuba nunca hizo suya la rumba sin fondo, ni forma, denigrante y} fofa; que ha “pasado por el filtro desnaturalizador de otros paises” y que, con el calificativo de RUMBA CUBANA, se anuncia Profusamente, por gentes sin es- crépulos, tratando de presentar en forma denigrante, lo que por azares del destino, ha adquirido desde hace tiempo nuestra ciuda- dania. Cuba tiene su rumba, sin negar que esa rumba és originariamente africana. Nadie lo niega, ni hay razén que a ello se oponga. Es, sencillamente, una herencia que nuestra patria ha recibido del Continente y como herencia “que Africa Con su misica, no dice, habla. No mueve a la idea, sino a la accién , . .

Por la verdadera rumba cubana, con la bata y el pafiuelo en el cuello, la chancleta sonora, sin la exagerada ondulacion de eaderas, ni la desverguenza de los que no la conocen, ni la saben bailar y que desnaturalizan toda la belleza de tan aplaudido baile. Desgraciadamente para el arte cubano, muchos neo-compositores se han entretenido en escribir y ejecutar fuevos ritmos bailables, queriendo, en su triste empeiio, darles el caracter de musica cu- bana. Tales son, entre otros} el llamado “mambo,” que no es otra cosa que un ruido, sin expresiones melédicas de ninguna clase, cor- eado casi siempre, por los men- tales, que nada dicen, ni nada ex- presan. Ahora, nos ha salido otro compositor, tratando de introducir en salones y estudios de radio, *;otro nuevo disparate musical, de- nominado “BATANGA”; pero, afortunadamente para nuestro arte vernaculo, naide lo ha tomado en serio y ha tenido que concretar su disparatada produccién, a unos cuantos “shows” de cabarets, donde el publico no le pone aten- cién alguna. Asi, y por el estilo, nos han salido a ia palestra “Tangos Afro-Cubatios”, que nada tienen hi de argentinos, ni de africanos, ni de cubanos. Todo ello, naturalmente, tiende a pro- stituir, a desnaturalizar por com- pleto, algo tan bello y de tanto valor, como el ritmo de nuestra verdadera musica tipica. Y que nuestros ritmos son bellos, lo demuestra, que casi todos los pueblos de la América latina, tratan de imitarlo y sus; mejores compositores, buscan en ; : .| but also because of indications the | other major problems to discuss Dulles Seeks Financial Aid From Congress For Slowed Down European Defense Plan By JOHN M.

In the first of the new sessions the Reds reportedly disagreed with all U. S. proposals.

The general policy will be that of retaining the low-cost pro- ducer of desired goods, as against the high-cost producer.” But Kyes also said “careful con- sideration” would be given to pre- serving industries vital to defense which do not have full opportunity in civilian economy, noting that “the aircraft industry is an ex- ample of this type.” This major policy statement by Kyes presumably reflected the cur- rent views of Secretary of Defense Wilson, who hag been in Europe. “ y mucho ménos, de des-| uestra musica, temas para sus| Both men are former top execu- nudeces provocativas La rumba, segun el sabio Dr. Fernando Ortiz, es.“la absorvente espectacularidad de la accién dramatica; la inconsciencia de un misterio sacra- mental; es la excitacién baquica del espiritu, con todos los esti- mulos de la ebriedad: miusica, baile, canto, amor, drama, multi- tud y religion”...
