Crime Rose 8.4%o in Year,
Survey by FBI Reports

WASHINGTON. - The Federal
Bureau of Investigation reported re-
Gently an increase of "a per cent in
crime from January to July com
pared with the same period last
year.
A survey by the FIJI based on sta
tistics from 1872 cities of more thon
$4,000 population showed these in
creases:
Murder and non-negligent homi-
eide, 4.3 per cent; per cent in
rape, 10 per cent in robbery, 11.3
per cent in aggravated assault, 121
per cent in burglary, 10 per cent in
larceny, and AS per cent in auto
mobile theft. On the other hand,
negligent man-slaughter declined
1.6 per cent.
A comparison of records cover
ing crime in cities of more than
100, 900 population for the first six
months of the prewar year, 1899,
with the same period of 1945 showed
an increase this year of 1872 per
cent in aggravated assault, 35.7
per cent in rape, and 14.5 per cent

YOKOHAMA.-An amazing story
of the courtship Of three American
prisoners of war with three Turkish
girls behind the backs Of Jap guards
was revealed recently The three
brides stood by while the story was
told, hopefully awaiting transporta-
ton to the United States with their
husbands.
Zane Allen Stickel, San Francisco,
explained that they had met the
girls, who spoke English huently,
while they were civilians working
for the navy on Guam. They were
captured in December, 1941, and in
termed in the Koke civilian camp
"The girls, being Turkish, were
not interned," he said.
'The ration dump where we all
got food was just four doors from
our camp and we met the girls
when they came for food. They
smuggled black market food to us.
To meet them, we climbed the pris-
on camp fence.

Committee For Economic Development
Discusses Problems Of Agriculture
Warns That Business, Labor And Nation Have Strong Stake
In The Special Problems OF The Farmer Warns Agans
Boom In Land Prices

storage from ove-aVerage crop
years can contribute to stability Of
livestock production, though the
Committee recognizes the danger of
abuse of storage to hold prices high
The report is emphatic in urging an
expanding nationwide soil conserva-
ton program.
To aid in channeling excess farm
manpower into agricultural en-
ployment, the Committee sees a need
for more information about job
prospects and greater mobility of
farm labor. In this regard, the CED
statement suggests broader voca-
tional training plus special types of
rural employment services. 1t also
suggests greater mobility of capital
in a decentralizing movement Of in
dustry into areas of farm labor sur
plus. This would amount to a com
bination of moving farm workers
to jobs and of bringing new jobs
to the rural workers.
The report examines the prospects
of improving the diet of low income
families and of increasing exports of
farm products; it does not see either
as a major factor in solving basic
farm problems 1t looks for the
fundamental solutions, instead, in
expansion of non-agricultural en-
ployment, and greater stability in
the general price level.
On this statement observes: 'the
prerequisite to high agricultural in
come is an expanding economy. The
fact that our employable population
has been working regularly - most
of it at good wages - has been the
prime factor during the past five
years in building up a mainly profit
able demand for the products of the
farmer. With high levels of prod
uctiVe employment, an increased use
of livestock products, which is in
accordance with sound nutrition and
the tastes of people, can become an
effective mans of utilizing agricul-
tural rsources. In addition, when
non-agricultural employment is ex-
panding, the economy can absorb
the excess labor supply which, if
held on the farm, depresses farm
income per worker"
Concludes the CED report, "The
farm is the seeded of our popula-
ton increase. 1t is the most import
ant source of new blood for the
cities whose population does not
otherwise sustain itself. Standards
of economic well-being, nutrition,
health and education in rural areas,
therefore, are of prime national con-
Germ. To see that the farmers have
equal facilities and opportunities in
these respects is not merely fair
play, it is important to national self
preservation"

seventeen, and that Howard had

As the United States is the great
est and most powerful Of nations,
there can be no objection to our
approving the San Francisco Char
ter, which gives to the Triple AL
lance the power to freeze the
small and backward nations into
status quo, which Is neither slip
ulated nor described.
When Dumbarton Oaks was
Haunted, compaign for its accept
ance. as is, was conducted not only
by all the forces OF government but
by every so-called liberal movement.
Dumbarton Oaks. like the Four
Freedoms and the Atlantic Char
ter. was presented as the final ex-
preston OF human wisdom and
whoever asked any questions or
pointed to flaws was called per
fectionist' by which 1t was indi-
Gated, ! fear, that the critic really
believed what the authors Of these
documents said. The San Fran
cisco Charter keeps very little OF
Dumbarton Oaks. So far as | can
see, only five complete sentences
OF Dumbarton Oaks have been re-
tanned In the San Francisco Docu-
ment. the former ran about $500
words, the latter about 5000 words.
San Francisco did not use much OF
Dumbarton Oaks.
The spirit OF the Preamble OF
the San Francisco Charter is eX-
cellent as far as It goes, which Ia
not very far in the realm OF hui
man rights. Nothing like a BIZ
Of Rights for man or for countries
is included. No provision appears
for freedom OF worship. freedom OF
speech, press, radio. A compro-
mise is made in the phrase:
ITO reaffirm faith in fundamental
human rights, in the dignity and
worth OF the human person. In the
equal rights Of men and women
and OF nations large and small"
That compromise is very good,
but specifications would have been
better. There is a vast difference
OF opinion as to what the dignity
OF man" means, ranging from the
concepts OF Thomas Aquinas to
those OF Nicholai Lenin, from the
philosophic anarchism OF Peter
Kropotkin to the Statism Of Stain.
But we need not quarrel over these
differences because preambles to
documents are a dime a dozen; II
is the will to carry them forward
and through that really matters.
II the will 10 peace and coopera-
ton will triumph over any pre-
amble.
Nor need we quarrel with the
purposes OF the San Francisco
Charter. They are sound, recogniz-
ing the need for peace, for under
standing, the right Of self-determ-
ination OF peoples and collective &C
ton TO avoid war. This little
phrase Is particularly interesting.
Encouraging respect for hui
man rights and for the fundamen-
tai freedoms for all without dis
tinction as to race, sex. language
or religion; ...." The trouble IL
