CLARK Notes Increase
In Age Of Offenders;
Crime Picture Is Bad

Attorney General Clark declared
last night that the overall crime
picture in the United States lis
bad"
Mr.. Clark, In an address over the
Columbia Broadcasting System. said
I'VE have not yet reached even the
beginning Of the end of juvenile
delinquency" He added, however,
that the "evil has diminished"
FBI reports show that during the
first six months of this year urban
crime increased 13 per cent, while
rural crime jumped 1876 per cent.
21-Year Group Largest.
The Attorney General said in the
same period 54.564 boys and girls
under q years were arrested and
flngerprinted. Another 53,841 be-
tween 81 and a were taken into
custody.
'That, my friends, is IS per cent
Of the total of the Nations arrests. !"
Mr.. Clark observed.
"It is no longer the 17-year-olds
who give us the largest group Of
those arrested for crimes. It is now
the 21.year age group. This is an
improvement, but it still leaves us
with a sad and distressing national
problem" the Attorney General
declared.
He added that while juvenile de-
linquency was grave problem, the
total persons involved were small
in comparison to the tremendous
upheaval" brought about by large
shifts in population going into in
dustry during the war and others
entering the armed forces.
Conference Planned Here.
"The Nation is alerted. We are
at the point now where we have
achieved the highest degree OF Ma
tion-wide organization. - We
know what we have to do. Already
we are witnessing the dim outlines
of success" Mr.. Clark declared.
Mr.. Clark told of plans for q
three-day National Conference for
the Prevention and Control of Juve-
nile Delinquency, opening here Oc-
tober 81. 1t will be an action
conference of Federal, State and

Burton-Ford Company has receiv- ed permission from Bruce S. Mac Milan, state construction manager for the Civilian Production Admin istration, to install footings to ex- cavations for a proposed shop and show room at the corner of Bryan and East Main Streets.
 The company obtained @ building permit from Inspector John T. Hartley on March to erect an $18,0O0 structure at the site. When the government order banning non- essential building went into effect on March 26, work had to be halted on the new building.
 Permission to continue with lim- tied construction was granted by the c. P. A. to avoid undue loss and hardship to the concern and to remove any hazards caused by excavation work. Any construction beyond this minimum must be first approved by the c. P. A., MacMil- Ian said.
