Crime Picture Overdrawn

In crime Wilmington is not different
from the average American city The
FBI report that the city's per capita
crime record is the worst in the coun-
try is obviously incorrect as the crimes
of today were measured by the 1910
Census population.
Chief Of Police Charles M. Casteen
performed public service when he
pointed this out. The unfortunate as
pect of the adverse publicity given the
city by the inaccurate FBI report is
that his correction will not receive as
wide distribution as the report.
The fact is, in view of the popula-
ton growth since 1910, the relation
ship of crime to total population is
far lower that the FIJI declares.
At the same time, there is room for
improvement. One way to better con-
ditions is to be found through greater
illumination of the city's streets. MANY
a robbery is committed because the
house to be robbed is in a blackout.
And not only the house itself, but often
as not the entire block.
Long before the war cut off the
supply of wire and globes and poles,
Wilmington was inadequately lighted
save for the district served by white
ways. Light poles were too high, globes
for the most part were too weak and

Bridges Rops Presidents Budget Policy
Charges Truman Cannot Balance Federal Books

Washington, Aug 19-UP)-Sen. Styles Bridges, R.-N H., today branded the Administration recent budget revisions as an aim to per- petuate New Deal boom and bust spending"
 Bridges said President Truman's recommendation for Government economy were economic double talk and that the Chief Executive has neither the "desire nor ability" to balance the Federal budget.
 The Presidents revised budget showed that Government receipts were more than $8,000,0OO, 900 above his January estimates. But some unexpected expenditures, he said, would still leave a deficit of $1,- 900,000,00O at the end of the current fiscal year. He ordered executive agencies, chiefly the Army and Navy, to cut their planned expen- ditures by $2,200,00o,000 to over ocme the deficit.
 Bridges labelled the Presidents plan as "an experiment in profli- gacy" He said MT. Truman was acrrying the New Deals habit of deficits-a shocking state of af- fairs
 In an attack on the Administra- tion's plan to curb imitation, Bridg- es said that Governments wage po- licies, "restraints' on production by OPA, super taxation" of private enterprises, and Government spend ing for New Deal experiments" constituted "the worst inflationary technique that could be foisted on a tolerant public"
 There's only one solution to the problem" he declared. That is an aroused, even angered public de- manding a good housekeeping of the Federal bureaucracy"
 Meanwhile, Chairman Harry F. Byrd, D.-Va0, of the joint Con- gressional committee on non- essen tial expenditures, charged that some Administrative agencies have "manufactured" jobs to keep their payrolls at high levels.
 Byrd said that Federal agencies, exclusive of the War and Navy de- partments, increased their number of employers during June by 22,561. He said that only 901,224 persons have been trimmed from Govern ment payrolls since V-J Day when Federal employment stood at an all- time high of 3,649, 769.
