1916. Auto thetts fell OF from 1910
to 1,643.
But otherwise the Districts statis-
tics were rising sharply. The result
was to push Washington into the
front rank Of major cities on the
ledger Of criminal statistics.
For instance, robberies were up
from 587 in 1946 to $50, aggravated
assaults increased from 663 to 1880
burglaries and housebreaking climbed
from 1885 to 1898, larcenies Of $50
or more were up from 1,444 to 1888
and larcenies under $50 shot up from
1906 to 9,909.
Some Of the increase-how much
is not easily reckoned-was ac-
counted for by the fact that the
Police Department changed its re-
porting system last year to conform
with the uniform crime reports
Of the FBI.
District Moves Up on List.
One item appearing in the 1947
report which did not appear In the
1916 figures was false arrests. The
Police Department previously had
not tabulated these bogus reports,
which occur in the field of robbexies,
burglaries and larcenies, but under
the FBI plan they were included.
In cold figures, however, Wash
ington moved up the crime ladder
in comparison with other major
cities as follows:
From 18th to 4th place in bur
g1aries, from 18th place to 9Th place
in robberies, from 18th to Sd place
Evening star., 1948-03-26

lin aggravated assaults, from 9th K
Sth place In grand larcenies anc
from 18th to 4th place in petty lar.
cenies.
The city dropped from eighth
place to 18th In the number >o1
murders and remained 11th in auto
thefts.
Hoover Blames Citizens.
Mr.. Hoover blamed the high ma
tional crime rate on the citizens
He said home life has deteriorated

responsibility to youth and too many
citizens fail to assume the responsi.
bility of citizenshhip.
Law enforcement agencies are MOI
given the tools and training they
need to fight criminals, he added.
Pointing up the high incidence oi
crime, the FBI said that in every
passing hour of 1947, IL persons
were raped, feloniously assaulted OF
killed; 40 were held up and robbed
or were burglars victims, and 81
others lost their cars to thieves.
During 1947 boys and girls under
81 accounted for 16.1 per cent Of
all arrests.

Murders, Auto Thefts
Show Decrease Here,
But Other Crimes Rise
Murders and automobile thefts de-

Murders and automobile thefts de-
creased in the District last year, but
other forms of crimes scared sharply
the annual uniform crime reports
of the FBI revealed today.
Although nationally the crime
total dropped off slightly from 1s46's
record high, FBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover expressed alarm at a situa-
ton accounting for 1865, ITO major
crimes last year, or one every 1873
seconds.
Warning of the possibility Of re-
turn of gangs like those Of the
Capone era, Mr.. Hoover said: "The
juvenile delinquent of the war years
is becoming the hardened criminal
of today, providing recruits for the
formation of gangs following in
many respects the pattern of the
early 2os."
In Washington the number of
murders last year dropped to S.
81 fewer than were recorded in

1t takes the pancreas glands of 1900 cattle or
$500 hogs to make an ounce of insulin-the
substance upon which more than one million
Americans with diabetes depend for health
and even life itself.
Insulin is available to these people only be-
cause the meat packing companies carefully
save all of these glands. There is no other
source Meat packers save many other mate
rials used to make dozens of medicines that
are essential to saving life, prolonging life and
keeping people healthy. They are used in heart
cases, shock, anemia, pregnancy, and general
surgery.
You may never need any of these products,
but you still benefit by them. The meat packer
covers most of his expenses by saving and sell.
ing glands, hides, hair, bones and non.food
fats that might otherwise be wasted. That is
why your meat-man can buy beef, for instance,
delivered to his store for less than it would
cost him to dress it himself.

Hungarian Red Leader
Holds Reconstruction
OF Army a Necessity
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

BUDAPEST. Nov. a.. Matyas
Rakosi, Hungary's deputy premier
and No. / Communist, said today
that "the reconstruction of our army
is an absolute necessity"
The statement was made in q
speech to the central leadership Of
the Hungarian Communist Party.
The nature of the reconstruction
was not made plain.
He made the statement, however.
after observing that the United
States is rearming. He told his Com
munist followers that the next
American budget will devote 81, ,000,-
000, 900 to defense.
Treaty Limits Army.
The 1947 peace treaty with Hun
gary-which joined with Hitler in
World War II and now is Soviet
ally-limits the Hungarian Army to
65 900 men. 1t permits an air force
of 80 planes and $500 men, but
makes no provision for the land
locked nation to have navy.
Rakosi's speech ranged widely over
both foreign and domestic affairs.
He said Hungarian industry Is
making general and healthy prog
ress" but he dealt q blow to workers.
Real wages, he said. are IS to as
per cent above 1899 and added that
this rising living standard will have
IN he disrontin1ed
1--WE spend more on wages than
planned and consequently there re-
mains less for investments" Rakosi
said.
Hints ut Collective Farming.
He renewed a hint dropped last
August that collective farming will
soon be adopted in Hungary, as 1t
is in Russia. Hungary must have
Socialism in the fields" to raise
its farm production, he said.
Rakosi added that peasants will
have to 60 to the Soviet Union to
learn that the Kolkhoz system
collective farming) is the highest
form of agricultural production.
Speaking of the Catholic Church,
Rakosi said there was hope of bet
ter understanding" but I'VE cannot
treat leniently spies, traitors and
Fascists only because they wear the
robe of q priest ."
IF we cannot restore order with
mutual understanding. We must do
it with the force Of the state" he
