Crooked Politicians,
Ganqsiers Sir Chicago

CHICAGO, Feb. 10 - (P) -
Chicago's crime problem still is
far from a solution and the out
standing cause of the failure to
attain a greater degree of law
enforcement is the alliance be-
tween the crooked politicians,
and the gangsters and racket
GERS" say officials of the Chi
ago Crime Commission.
Virgil w. Peterson, the COM
missions operating director, re-
porting that Chicago led the ma
ton in the number of robberies
and burglaries over an 18-month
period and was second to New
York City in the number of
murders, said that Cali vestige
of political control, influence or
interference in the police depart
ment must be removed"

FBI Director
Scores Parents
for Delinquency

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-(P)
Reporting that 55.7 per cent
more girls under 81 were ar
rested last year than in 194l,
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
said today it indicated a de-
plorable lack of parental guild
ance and discipline in many
homes"
"Boom conditions in many
communities and easy money in
youthful hands," Hoover said,
"are contributing to the general
letdown in moral standards
among Juveniles"
The number of boys under 81
arrested last year increased III
per cent over 1941 despite the
removal of large numbers from
civilian to military life, the FBI
chief said.
No actual figures on arrests
were published. Hoover pointed
out, that the FBI figures-based
on fingerprint records - from
which percentages were calcu-
lated were obviously low be-
cause of the number of juvenile
police cases in which no finger
printing is done.
Hoover reported that arrests
of girls under 81 for PROSTITUTION
and commercialized~ vice in
creased 64.8 per cent last year;
arrests for other sex offenses
were up 104.7 per cent; drunk
enness arrests increased 800 per
cent and disorderly conduct ar
rests, 69.6 per cent.
Among boys under 81, arrests
for assault increased III per
cent; for rape, 1915 per cent; dis
orderly conduct, 262 per cent,
and drunkenness, 302 per cent.
The age of most frequent ar
rests was 10, drop of one year
from the level which predomi-
mated from 1889 through 1941.

tive in civic and church affairs.

Contract Bridge
Rules, Scoring
are Revised

NEW YORK, Feb. 19-(P)-
The rules and scoring of con-
tract bridge are being revised for
the first time since 1885 with the
publication of a 1913 code OF
laws today.
A 5O-point bonus has been
granted for making any doubled
or redoubled contract whether
vulnerable or not. Another So
point bonus will be given for
having a part-score in an unfin-
ished game of an unfinished
rubber.
The lead out -of-turn law has
been changed so that the de-
clarer, when the wrong OPP
ponent leads against him, may
either call the lead of any suit or
forbid the lead of any suit he
wishes to name.
The penalty for the revoke is
still two tricks, as it was in the
1885 code. but in the new laws
there is no additional penalty
when the same player revokes
a second time in the same suit.
Committees representing the
Whist Club of New York, which
has made the bridge laws in this
country since 1905, and the
Apooricop Contract Ri n q q
League, which controls tourna-
ment bridge in the United
States, agreed upon the changes.
More liberal than their prede-
cessors in many respects, the
new laws provide that if play
er makes an improper bid, due
to slip Of the tongue, he may
correct himself without penalty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 Up
Virtually all Capitol Hill signs
pointed today toward Congress
sional rebuff for President
Roosevelt's effort TO maintain
wartime income ceilings. after
taxes, at S25 900 for a single per-
son and $4,000 for married
couples.
The House Ways and Means
Committee showed no DISPOSE
ton to heed the Executives rec
ommendation of a supertax, to
hold the aggregate of all income,
including that from tax-exempt
securities. within such bounds.
Chairman Doughton (D-N.C.)
said the committee spoke its
mind on the issue when il ap-
proved a bill by Rep. Disney
(D-Okla.) to put ceilings for in
dividual salaries over $4,000 at
their pre- Pearl Harbor levels.
The bill would repeal Mr.. Roos-
evelt's executive order limiting
wartime salaries 10 $4,000, after
taxes. The Oklahoman describ-
ed il as a revolt against gov
eminent by directive
SEES NO CHANGE
Although he voted against the
Disney measure, the charm n
said he saw no sign that the
committee action might be
changed.
However. Rep. McGranery
(D-Pa), Ways and Means mem
Der, told newsmen the issue
would be reopened in the COM
mittee by a parliamentary stu
alton which developed when the
body voted unanimously yester-
day to have Disney present the
measure to the House.
Changing the name on the
measure from that of Chairman
Doughton to Disney gave il the
status of a new bill, open to a
new vote in the committee, Nc
Creamery said.
The Pennsylvania made no
prediction that a new vote would
bring about a result different
from the original 1910 approx
al. Five Democrats joined ten
Republicans in support of the
bill on that vote.
Veteran House members pre-
dicted privately the d n y
measure would pass that House
by large majority. 1t was writ
ten into a measure to raise the
nations debt limit from SIPS,
100000. 900 to $40, 900, 900, 900.
ONLY SALARIES
The present executive limita
ton of SIS 900, after taxes, and
the Disney pre- Pearl Harbol
ceiling affect only salaries. Mr.
Roosevelt informed the Ways

,Manpower shortage has present.

ating production of the giant
B-24 bomber planes at the gov

phasized to the Senate investi-

today for a first hand view of
operations both on fly-away
bombers and parts for final as
sembly at other factories.
The huge four-engined Lib
orators are in production at Will
low Run, but the volume is de-
scribed by the office of War In
formation as "only a small frac-
ton" of the plants ultimate ca
pacity. A Ford announcement
last week said the. bombers
were coming off production
lines ION schedule"
DESIGN CHANGES
Ford engineers agree with
Hugh Fulton, counsel for the
Senate War Investigating COM
mittee, that numerous design
changes have delayed the pro-
duction rate. However, they are
not inclined to complain of these
changes. Rather they have
sought to incorporate them as
rapidly as possible through a
program under which they are
implemeted at a given point in
the production flow. This calls
for freezing the design of GER
tain block of bombers as they
start down the assembly lines.
The number might be 10, 25 or
so, but it has to be fixed in ad-
vance and maintained if mass
production methods are to be
used in bomber assembly.
