OUR BUMPER CROP OF CRIMES

Director j Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau ,f Investigation reports that l946 record year for crime There was overall increase of 76 per cent in arrests over l945 254 per cent increase in arrests of males greater increase in rural than Tn urban areas substantial increases in murder, man slaughter robbery assault and burglary There were declines in arrests of and minors Girls under 21 behaved aoout one-third better than In l945 so far as behavior is measured by arrests but 40 per cent worse than before the war. MT. Hoover doeS well to take the situation seriously and give sound advice as to better training of law enforcement agents more attention to juvenile delinquents and better home conditions.
 MT Hoover got his figures from reliable sources and did not initiate them. They are alarming enough Yet there is no reason to fear that we are to be swamped with wrongdoers. Only about one in every 29 of us does anything enough to get arrested and fnger-printed More arrests sometimes mean better police work-some of it credited to the FBl rather than more crime. The heavy concentration of crime among youths in their early twenties sug- gests hopeful line of attack on the whole problem
 As long as people live in communities we car expect crime But we can reduce 1t surely, by more attention to the education of young people, at home as well as at school by better housing by better medica land psychiatric services We might begin by impressing upon possible offenders that crime does not paw even in terms of money. MT. Hoover esti- mates the average value of the loot in crimes lar vovng property. at $l60.

as far as U. S. public opinion is concerned. Not so the British. They frequently oppose the United States but so skillfully it gets no at tention.
 The United Nations General As senmbly will soon hold special session on Palestine. What most people don't realize is that this special session will cost approxi- mately million dollars of the UN's meagre purse. The LIN has a smaller budget than the New York City street cleaning department. Another point people don't realize is that Britain inserted in it's UN resolution a tricky five-word clause saying that the British government reserves the right to reject" the LIN decision. In other words, the United Nations can spend Sl000,- 900 debating Palestine, hut if the final decision doesn't coincide with British wishes, the British, like the Russians, won't play ball.

Government Has Surplus for
Months; Won't Last Lone

WASHINGTON. - The govern
ment closed its books on the sew
enth month of its current fiscal year
with a surplus of $685., 498, 900. Ex-
penditures through January 81 were
81 billion 600 million dollars and
receipts were % billion 285 millions.
Budget estimates we're that ex-
penditures for the entire fiscal year,
which ends next June 30, would be
AZ billion 500 millions, and receipts
40 billion 200 millions.
The present surplus in the face of
an anticipated deficit of 2 billion 300
millions for the entire fiscal year is
largely explained, officials said, by
the fact that many heavy cost items
have yet to fall due.
