PARIS, Jan. 30.-(By the Associated

of violence which have caused broad
cast publicity to be given to an alleged
American crime wave in Paris was
shown by an Investigation conducted
by the Associated Press today.
Il was further ascertained that as

in number as compared with the pub
lished figures of the crime wave, ex-
isting nearly exclusively in the vivid
imagination OilsenSational newspapers
An opportunity was afforded TO verify
at police, headquarters respecting
crimes last December. Thirty-four
murders charged TO Americans were
discredited and dwindled TO two: pa
hOldups and assaults were reduced by

There have been numerous fistic en-
counters, however. but they were

Brig. Gen. William W. Harts of the
United States army in statement to-
day says:
The reports c6ncernins the large
number of murders by American sol
diers in Paris are untrue. They are
greatly exaggerated. The number Of
military police in Paris has been in
creased merely because of the greater
number of soldiers passing through
the city, not because of unusual dis
order. The statistics show that the
American soldiers are maintaining
their high standard of discipline III ev-
cry detail, wherever they may be-"
The Paris chief of police. NJ Mou-
ton, said he was greatly pleased at the
cooperation of American detectives
who have recently arrived here.
N. Mouton refused to make a state
ment on the extent of crime, but said
that outside OF some thefts of automo-
biles, TO the prejudice of the American
army, American soldiers did not de
serve the hard reputation which had
gene abroad through various reports
and said:
Surely there are some real Amer
leans guilty. but the percentage is not
