L j. Edgar Hoover, director OF
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton, reports the FBI received CAS-
43l arrest records last year. more
than any since 1896.
Juvenile delinquents Of the wai
years are graduating from petty thiev-
cry to more serious crimes" said
Hoover in an analysis of reasons for
the crime increase. The gradual
breakdown of the American home is
beginning to be reflected in the nation
al behavior pattern and is a real cause
for alarm
The overall increase in crime
throughout the nation in 1916 over
l945 was rs percent Crimes in rural
areas increased AL percent compared
with IA percent increase in cities.

For the first time since 1888 more
persons in the 2l-year age group were
arrested than in any other age group,
followed by %, %, "a and 20-year-
oldS in that order
Although arrests of girls under 81
dropped 33l percent, they still ex-
ceeded preWar figures by 40 percent
More than 54 percent of all persons
arrested had previous arrest records

Tools for Peoce

Atomic energy, the most destructive
force ever unleashed by man. has
tremendous potentials for peaceful
applications and provides almost limit
less tools for research in physics chem
istry. biology, medicine and engineer
ing
Nuclear research in peacetime fields
will be the goal of scientists at the
Brookhaven, L. l., national laboratory
now being built by the government on
the site of Camp Upton at an ultimate
cost of so million dollars. 1t will be op-
Grated by Associated Industries, nom
profit corporation formed by group
of eastern universities
DR.. L. B. Borst, in charge of construc-
ton of the first atomic pile at Brook
haven, said it would be better than
any other existing experimental unit.
A second pile to be built at Brookhaven
would be many times more power
full" he said.
Scientists face new challenge of
discovering method for diSpoSing of
highly dangerous radioactive waste
materials, Dr.. Borst said. He promised
the Brookhaven pile would not be put
into operation until waste disposal
methods had been worked out to make
it safe for laboratory workers and resi-
dents of nearby cities.
DR.. Philip NJ Morse, Brookhaven
director, disclosed that budget of 10
million dollars year is contemplated
Although military security regulations
must be observed, he said, it was
planned to concentrate restricted proc
esses in one part of the plant so as tc
create as much of university atmos-
phere" as possible.

China
The Die Is Cost

GeneralisSimo Chang Kai-Shek has
issued what amounts to a declaration
of war on the Chinese Communists.
Addressing the executive committee
of his Kuomintang (NationalisD Party,
Chang declared that armed rebellion
by the Communists must be quelled
by force
This public prcnouncement signifies
a major Shift in policy Previously
Chang maintained, at least in public,
that the Nationalist Communists dis
pute could be settled by political
means. Now he sides with his more
warlike generals who long have
argued the only way to get along with
Chinese Communists is 10 eXterminate
them.

Republican leaders plan to keep the
Senate running until the foreign policy
matter is disposed Of Since both
branches must approve any formal
recess, this alone could prevent
spring holiday.
Meanwhile lawmakers concentrated
on housing, a peak domestic problem
on which unsatisfactory progress is
being reported. Committees of both
houses squared away for fresh start
on twin nationwide headaches-how
to encourage big-scale construction
of low-cost homes and what to do
about rent control.
Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio), testi-
flying before the Senate banking COM
mittee, asserted that the emergency
program set up by Congress last year
to encourage production of scarce
building materials was complete
failure" He said that of 400 million
dollars provided for subsidies to pro-
ducers, only about 35 million will have
been spent by the end of the fiscal
year, June 30.
Long Range Bill
The Senate committee was conduct
ing streamlined hearings on revised
version of the Wagner Ellender-
long-range housing bill passed by the
Senate last year but pigeon holed in
the House. 1t sets up goal of l5,000,-
900 new dwellings by 1858, including
low-rent housing projects aided with
federal funds.
The justification for public hous
ing" said Sen. Taft, is that we have
to eliminate the disgraceful type OF
housing in which the lowest income
families live"
Taft estimated the housirk program
ultimately would cost $50 million dol
lars year.
Major features of the WET bill call
for public housing and slum clearance.
encouragement of private builders to
construct rental housing for moderate
income families and preference to vet
Grams as tenants in public housing.
For Continued Rent Ceilings
Another Senate banking subcommit-
tee worked over Taft-McCarthy bill
which would continue rent ceilings
generally until March /, l948, allow no
across-th board increases and wipe
out rent controls for new houses, no.
tells, motor courts and dwellings not
rented during the last two years
Meanwhile, Housing Expediter
Frank R. Creedon testified in the
House that the lifting of federal hous-
ing controls would disrupt a great
many housing projects and divert
scare materials to nom essential users
such hsas~Eacetraeks~a and night clubs.
Creedon's Office barred a gloomy re-
port on l947 building prospects
citing that material shortages would
prevent the start Of more than 825, 900
permanent homes this year. despite
earlier White House and industry esti-
mates that the number would pass
100000.
Despite important increases in pro-
duction generally. a dozen strategic
materials are more scarce in relation
to demand than they were a year ago
the report claimed. These include mill
work lumber, builders hardware

Part Of Lewis Fine In Refunded
Friday. April 25. l947

WASHINGTON, (P) - John L. Lewis Thursday got back S2,800,- 900 of a $3,5OO,OOO contempt fine imposed against his United Mine Workers, and promptly contributed Sl00,000 to striking telephone workers. Less than an hour after federal district judge T. Alan GoldSborough refunded the S2, 2,80o,- = 900 UNIV officials arrived at tele- phone strike headquarters with 6 check for the Sl0O,0OO to help sup port the 18-day-old cross-country tie-up.
 In refunding the S2,800,O0O ~ the UNIV, GoldsborOugh added q warning that a preliminary injunc- ton prohibiting the miners from striking against the government lis still in force and can be in voked at any time"
 Goldsborough took the action af- ter assistant attorney general John F. Sonnet had offered no objec- tion from the government.
 Two weeks ago, Goldsborough had refused to grant the S2,8OO,OOO refund because many mines were idle. He said that UNIV chieftain John l.. Lewis and the union had not showed they were acting ir

Truman Seeks To "UnvetO" Veto

WASHINGTON, (P) - White House advisers cast about today, seemingly in vain, for some way in which President Truman might ''unveto" a bill giving Burton K. Wheeler, one of his best friends a job"
 On Capitol Hill the parliament tarians said it couldn't be)done.
 They declared you can no more recall Presidential veto than an unkind word.
 Senator Hatch D.-N. MD, spent hours trying to unSnarl the Situa- tion last night. He finally told neWSmen the parliamentarians are right.
 He said there seems to be only two ways to get around MT. Tru- mans mistake" veto yesterday of legislation which would permit Wheeler, the Presidents old Sen ate crony, to act as special coun- sel for the Senate war investigat- ing committee:
 l. Have Congress override the veto.
 2. Ask the lawmakers to pass a new measure covering the same ground.
 Chairman Brewster R.-MeO, of the war investig atin5 committee was appointed Wheeler to the counsel job, said the more embar- rassing overrider is preferred ''by several of my comrades who are sadistically inclined" It takes a two-thirds vote of CongreS to aver ride
 The bill in question was to ex- empt Wheeler from statutes which forbid Senate employees to have other employment.
 Wheeler, former Senator from Montana, is practicing lawyer in Washington. He did not want tc give up his private interests while exploring for BreWster's commit tee complaining that the navy paid

New Plane Landing Gear Developed

HAGERSTOWN, Md, (P)-Mil- lions of dollars may be saved in airport construction through devel- opment of new roller r-caster land ing gear for light airplanes, Fair child Aviation company engineers said today.
 Planes equipped with the new gear can land in strong crosswindS and thus would eliminate the need for secondary or croSswind run ways on small airports, said Chas. Planck, of the civil aeronautics ad- rninistration which asked Fair child to build the apparatus.
 Company engineers pointed to a Fairchild primary trainer, one of the two planes employing the new swivel wheels, as capable of land ing in cross gusts which would flip ordinary planes on its back.
 The gear, they explained permits the pilot to ''crab" into the wind and when his plane hits the run. way, the wheels swivel in the line of least resistance.

 MT. Truman's veto message said the bill was so Worded that 1t might be interpreted" as granting authority to Wheeler ito initiate civil or criminal proceedings on behalf of the United States
 Since such proceedings are a jus tice department function, MT. Tru- man said he was confident Con gress did not intend Wheeler to have such authority.
 Wheeler told a reporter there must have been a White House "mixup" since MT. Truman signed an identical resolution in Decen- Der, 1945, in connection with the Senate-House Pearl Harbor inves- tigation.

StatehOOdHearings In Washington
tBY Mary Lee CounciD
 Part II

Baker, editor and publisher of the Ketchikan, Alaska, Chronicle, was the second Alaska resident to ap- peal to the subcommittee for recOg- milton of the timeliness and need for granting statehood to the Terri tory. MT. Baker laid stress upon his intense faith in the future of Alaska" and stated that faith could be shaken only if statehood were not granted He enumerated many instances of discrimination against Alaska which retard desired deVel- opment and which could be elim- mated with voting representation in the Congress of the United States. He said that AlaskanS could have long since paid any ad- ditional price brought by statehood with what has been the cost of transportation difficulties, high freight rates and other discrimin- ationS against the Territory for the very fact that it is a territory. The sole opponent to speak against statehood was H. L. Faulk- ner, attorney of Juneau, who claimed to be speaking on behalf of all AlaSkans who voted against statehood. He said that the people of Alaska were in despair at the time of the election last October and that the vote for statehood was in rebellion against the long ship ping troubles.
 Easing his argument against statehood largely on his conten- ton that the people of Alaska can not produce revenue to pay for the financial cost of statehood, MT Faulkner, in a brief submitted to the committee, concluded, "We think the committee will find that those who think through the subject of StateOod for Alaska and base their calculations upon human ex- perience and upon realities rather than on speculation, sentiment, dissatisfaction and anger, and who place on one side the possible ben efits to be derived and on the other side the probable diSadvant- ages and the admittedly vast in crease in the burden of taxation which will result if statehood is granted Alaska, are unanimously opposed to statehood"
 It is expected that MT. Faulk- ner's argument that statehood will cost Alaskans an additional l512 million dollars every two years will be challenged by witnesses who are scheduled to appear be- fore the subcommittee as the hear ing continues.
 Congressman Miller of Califor- mia, in broader terms, in connec- ton With cost burden of statehood, declared, When the local treas ury will have to meet these ex- penSes, means will be found to broaden the tax base and to tap additional sources of revenue. This is not pious hope. The people of Alaska considered and discussed all aspects of statehood, both the benefits and the obligations, before the vote they took last October, and when they signified that they wanted statehood, they were doing so with a full realization that they must undertake to meet the cost. Just as the airlines, in estimating
