country was 9O9,OOO,OOO barrels
in 1884. No such volume is likely
to be handled through the Com
modify Exchange, because some
of the larger, ''integrated' COM
panies have their own wells, pipe
lines. refineries, distributing
agencies and filling stations. They
are, however, expected to deal
on the Exchange in SURPRISES -
and perhaps in some cases to
make up shortages.
Governors of the exchange have
set up price fluctuations limita-
tons calculated to prevent large
scale market manipulations.
The trading floor is similar to
that OF the Stock Exchange, but
instead of trading posts has four
sunken rings around which repre-
sentatives of brokerage houses
gather to deal in various COM
midities. Above a gallery circlinS
the big room are quotation boards
where price changes are recorded.
Tickers flash to the world each
fluctuation in zinc, tin, hides, oil
and the Ike. And other tickers
are devoted exclusively TO quota
tons on cocoa, coffee and grains.
It's big business.

SHARKS FIGHT FOR
2-TON BABY WHALE

TT. LAUDERDALE, Fla, Mar.
29.-UP).-Tiger sharks fought
savagely yesterday over a 10000
pound baby whale.
The mammal, harpooned in the
Gulf stream Sunday after an all
day battle with the fishing fleet,
was cast adrift off the coast last
night for the sharks to devour.
Fishermen, who brought the
whale ashore and charged admis-
sion to see it for two days, reap
cd their final harvest today. They
hauled passengers out to witness
the sharks and other scavengers
of the sea fighting over the noun
tain of flesh.
So unrestraincdly did a ID
foot, 1.O00-pound tiger shark help
himself to the whale meat that
a fisherman dragged him ashore
without great difficulty. He had
been too gluttonous to put up a
fight. He was scarcely able to
move when hauled ashore.

NEW YORK, March 20
The oil and gasoline business,
which has been puttering along
on the two-eylinder idea of cash
and-carry ceiling, is beginning to
take on aspects of 16-cylinder.
dual-ignition, supercharged intri-
cacy.
Like automobile engines, it is
being made more complicated so
that it will run more smoothly.
And the people who benefit there
by-if the New York Commodity
Exchange knows what It is about
will be many of the nauon 5
oil producers, refinerS, diStribut-
ing organizations, filling station
operators and, now and then, even
the automobile owners.
The Commodity Exchange,
which operates about like the
Stock Exchange except that 1t
deals in more tangible things suco
as silk, hides, copper and rubber,
has opened market for trading
in crude oil and gasoline. You
can't drive up in your car and say
Gimme five, and check up on my
oil" But you could drive up with
u railroad tank car and, through
a broker, buy the smallest unit OF
sale, which is $4,000 gallons.
AIMS TO STEADY MARKET
The whole idea OF the new eX-
change. officials explain, is 70
steady the market and give oil
men security against disastrous
price changes. Say, for example,
that YOU have an oil we'll in your
back yard that is yielding 1000
barrels a week. You have con-
tract with somebody to sell thai
oil, as it appears, for the regular
prevailing price on the day or
each delivery. If the posted price

HEDGING MADE POSSIBLE

/ re same SCucIue lIIOJtGLn. OlAS =
ers of oil or gasoline, who can
buy futures for insurance against
a rising market. 1t is all called
hedging" There are selling
hedges, buying hedges, and also
hedges of inventory" The latter
operate in this fashion: Imagine
that you are a refiner, and have
a million barrels of oil in storage.
The physical properties Of that
oil wouldn't change in a thousand
wears. yet the value of it changes
daily. With so much OF it on
hand, you naturally are fearful
that crude prices may go into a
tailspin. And so, to protect your
self, you sell every drop Of it on
the exchange for, say, September
delivery. Ii the price rises by next
September you can deliver the oil
and won't be out of pocket on the
transaction. If the price declines,
you can keep the oil and buy back
your hedge.
Exchange officials admit that
the futures system wouldn't be
operated without spectators -
gamblers, if you insist - who are
willing to bet that the market will
turn one way or another. Oil men
would profit hugely if the specu-
latorS always guessed wrong. But
even If they always guessed right,
the oil men at least would have
security against sudden price
changes. Thus you have an in
congruous situation in which gam
blers are depended upon to re-
duce the elements of chance. Also

Essentials of Good Police Work
Lacking-The analysis Of crime
conditions in thte District Of
Columbia, explanations of which
are set forth in section 2 Of this
report, concluSively indicates
that the Metropolitan Police De-
partment is not being satisfac-
torily administered. There are
weaknesses in the adminiStra-
ton and supervision Of the de.
partnent, there is a lack of
morale and esprit de corps, lack
Of energy and drive, and the
rank and file Of the force has
become perfunctory and supine.
The subcommittee was def
nitely impressed, and it might
be added adversely. by the de-
fensive attitude Of almost every
police official who appeared as
q witness. There was an amaz-
ing absence Of any effort to
bring to the attention Of the
subcommittee instances or rec
ords Of achievement in which
it would be natural for the de.
partment to express normal
pride.

erS, the major and superinten.
dent Of police, the United
States District Attorney, and
others have repeatedly made
public statements tending to
discount the seriousness Of
crime conditions; and, second,
the absence Of coordinated
records has made 1t impossible
for the public accurately to
gage the extent Of crime or the
efficiency Of law enforcement.
Crime rate high.-ThiS inveS-
tigation has established, on the
basis of fact, that Washington
has a disgracefully high crime
rate and that law enforcement
here is neither aggressive nor
efficient.
City must fact facts.-No i'm
provement can be effected until
the people Of Washington be-
come convinced of the I'M
pleasant truth, and, until the
city, facing the facts Of the
situation, determines to wage
unceasing warfare against the
forces of vice and crime.

purposes of the lawleSS elements
Of the community than the
present apathy Of officials and
citizens toward the crime prob

Cite Other Cities

Comparisons with other cities.
There are, in the United
States, eight cities of approx
mately the same lie as Wash
ington. The following tabula-
ton Of crime rates, based on
the number Of crimes for each
100000 inhabitants, proves that
Washington's crime rate is alb
normal.
In comparison with these
other cities, washington stands
second in murder, first in rob-
berry, second in burglary (house-
breaking), first in gra n d
larceny, and second in auto
theft.
In proportion to population,
Washington has two and one
half times as many murders as
New York, and 40 per cent
more murders than Chicago.
The following figures, which
cover the first nine months of
1884, are taken from the Uni
form Crime Reports of the

Statistics Prove Conditions
The most impressive proof that
Washington is tolerating an eX-
cessive amount of crime, gam
bling and vice is to be found in
the above table I, and in the
other summaries Of official sta
tistics, together with pertinent
comparisons, in tables 2 and 3.
These tables are well worth the
careful study of those who still
doubt the existence, in Wash
ington, Of an abnormalcy Of
crime and lawlesSneSS.
Transitory Results Inadequate
During the period of an inves.
tigation or a special "drive" by
officials. there might be p tenn
porary lull in the frequency Of
lawlessness. That is proven by
the decrease in crime which
has occurred during this inveS-
tigation (see table 8, this sec.
tion). Such tranSitory results,
The Washington times., 1935-05-01

however, are scarcely worth
while.
The big objective-and the
only worthy objective-iS a sub
stantial and definite reduction
in crime that can be maintained
permanently. This objective
can be achieved only by an I'm.
compromising, unrelenting, and
continuing offensive on Grim
inals and crime causes.
Rise and Fall Of Crime-Dur-
ing the 81 months ending April
/, 1885, there were 1927 felon-
les committed in the District Of
Columbia, not counting those
that were never officially re-
corded.

those 81 months, classified as
