Justice Association Finds
Some Decrease in

(See Charts on Page A-S.)

While major crimes fell below
the preceding years total for the
first time since 1888, Washing

solutions during 1941 indicates
"a decrease in police efficiency

the apprehension of criminals" +"

Association declared in its sixth

licatiOn today.
Citing figures showing a decrease
of 237 serious crimes despite a big

only 49.6 per cent of the 5,724 crimes
listed were solved. The figures rep

BALTIMORE, May 9. - Alsab

With the same thunder in his
legs and iron in his heart that car
ried him to greatness a year ago, the
little colt roared down PimlicoS
stretch to win the classic Preakness
Stakes and end the jinx on him all
this year.
He did it the hard way, too, as
record crowd of $4,000 fans roared
him on. He came from far back
and on the outside to run over eight
of the nine other horses in the field
in the last quarter mile and finish
on top by a length. The others
tried gamely, but couldn't Withstand
his sprint.
He couldn't have come down to
the $58,l75 pot of gold at the finish
any faster He was flying, because
this ended all the disappointments
which accompanied his eight
straight losing races this year. He
had skyrocketed to the top of the
heap in 1941, winner of Is races
10 in a row-and was classed by
many in the same league with Man

So with all that riding on this

LONDON, May 9.-With the
avowed intention of smashing
Nazi submarine nests and the
German air force as the neces-
sary preliminary to invasion of
the continent, the heaviest Brit
ish bombers returned in a blis-
tering assault on the ravaged
RoStock area along the Baltic
last night, the Air Ministry an
nounced today.
From 400 and 800 foot levels the
big war birds bombed Warne-
muende, leaving fires sweeping an
aircraft plant and other objectives
in that area, 10 miles from Rostock
for which it is both a port and sea-
plane base. The Germans an
nounced that Rostock also was
bombed again, indicating that the
British raid had spread over all the
busy Baltic war supply center.
The big Lancasters, Manchesters
Wellingtons, Hampdens and four
motored Strings paid the highest
toll-19 planes lost-in five months
for the daring low-level attack into
an intense anti-aircraft defense,
particularly at Warnemuende.
At nearby Rostock, 1000 or 5000
persons were reported killed re-
Gently in four nights OF heaviest
bombing Of a single town that
