|An Records for Crime
In Ten Years Broken
III As, FBL Reports

AL crime records for the last
decade were broken in 1916, J. Edgar
Hoover. Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation director, revealed last night.
He reported a total Of 1885, ,203 ma
jor crimes, an increase Of 1862
over 1915. The FBT director said
this was an average Of one major
crime every 1877 seconds.
Describing his estimated totals in
each crime category as "'conserva-
tive" because they do not include
such offenses as entertainments,
fraud. arson, receiving stolen prop
Ierty and carrying concealed wapons,
Mr.. Hoover said the estimates are
based on reports received from 1900
cities representing a combined pop
ulation Of e7,O0o, 600.
During the average day, SO per-
sons were slain, 33 were criminally
assaulted and l85 others feloniously
assaulted" Mr.. Hoover declared.
Every day also brought reports Of
l72 robberies, 96l burglaries, $50 au-
tomobile thefts and $500 miscel-
laneous larcenies.
He listed the following 1916 totals:
murder and manslaughter, 8,442;
negligent manslaughter, 4,70l; GRIM
inal assault, l2,117; robbery, g.
1872; aggravated assault, 67,5l2;
burglary, 357 7.991;s larceny, 94l,738
and automobile theft, 229 800.
Compared with 1945, last year
showed an increase Of 23.3 per cent
in murder and manslaughter; l5.7
per cent in robbery; 5 per cent a
criminal assaults, and 1873 per cent
In aggravated assault. Larceny
jumped 8.8 per cent and burglary
1l.3 per cent. ..,g-..
FRI officials said 1946 was the
worst year since crime records have
been kept In as detailed form as
they are today. This dates back
about 10 years.
It is difficult. they said, to draw
q comparison on a statistical basis
between the l946 crime record and
the gangster era of the terrible
twenties."

Easter Business Rise,
NewBuiIdingHer Due
10 Open $4,000 Jobs

OOIlSLTuCtlOil WOFk anu q general
surge Of business at the Easter sea-
son are expected to create an addi-
tional $4,000 jobs In the District by
April Is.
That was the prediction made last
night by Fred z. Hetzel, District
director Of the United States En-
ployment Service in his bimonthly
labor market developments report.
II building materials are flowing
smoothly, Mr.. Hetzel predicted, ap-
proximately 10000 semiskilled and
unskilled workers will find construc-
ton jobs as soon as warmer
weather comes.
2,000 Jobs In Prospect.
Approximately 1000 Jobs, most Of
them for women, will open up In
the retail stores, hotels and restau-
rants during the first week end Of
April when Easter brings visitors
to town and Washington women
shop for their spring finery.
The other 5000 jobs, Mr.. Hetzel
forecast, will be found In a variety
of other activities affected by the
seasonal upswing Of business here.
The forecast came at a time when
$4,000 workers are still unemployed
here. Mr.. Hetzel gave this analy-
sis OF the unemployment picture:
l. Federal Government employ
ment here has reached its lowest
point since January, 1912. This has
caused sharp rise of unemploy-
ment among restaurant workers,
particularly those, previously en-
ployed by restaurants catering to
Federal employees.
Men Replace Women.
2. A definite trend toward replac-
ing women with men has been no.
ticed here in the past few months
In food service and other lines. More
than half Of the total decrease in
the food service field since Novem-
Der was among women employees.
The release Of women workers may
account for the growing number Of
women seeking jobs in the recently
re-established household employ
ment section OF the USES.
3. The policy of replacing women
with men has helped TO stabilize en-
ployment of World War II veterans.
One Of the most encouraging fea-
lures Of the report was the fact that
veterans are being given preference
In private. and Government jobs and
employers are expressing satisfaction
with the work Of on-the-job trainees.
4. Turnover in local employment
has decreased to the point where
the only persons quitting jobs ap-
pear to be those hired for seasonal
work who leave after the Job is
done.
Still Has Openings.
Despite the size Of the unem-
ployment total, Mr.. Hetzel reported,
the USES still has job openings
that cannot be filled because Of the
continued shortage of building
architects, stenographers, brick
layers, carpenters, stationery engi-
neers, auto body repairmen, truck
mechanics and other skilled crafts
men. a.. & n3
Mr.. Hetze1 also noted that WASH
ington employers are hiring full
time rather than part-time work.
ers and are replacing inefficient
workers with better qualified and
more stable persons.

If Farmers Stop Raising Steaks Europe Could Eat

WASHINGTON, (P) - If con- sumers stopped buying and farm CTS stopped producing choice, juicy beef steaks and roasts during the next eight months, the food con- servation battle for aiding the hungry world abroad would be half won.
 Agriculture department live stock specialists estimate that nor mally 60,0O0,0O0 bushels of corn or other grain equivalent are used in the corn belt annually to fatten beef cattle beyond the average of good slaughter grade.
 The goal of the food conserva- ton program is to reduce domestic consumption of grain at least 100,- 100000 bushels so that exports may come as near as possible meeting essential needs of short age areas in Europe.
 Secretary of agriculture Ander- son told neWsmen Wednesday farmers could help save grain by selling hogs at much lighter weights and by abandoning, for the time being, the practice of fat tening beef cattle to the top trade.
 Cattle fall into four major grades-choice, good, commercial and utility.
 The bulk of the grain used to produce choice, or top grade, cat tie goes toward putting quality on the meat rather than in adding pounds.
