Banker Session Hear!
Byrd Warn Of Trend
To 'Regimentation'
BY the Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Sept.
10.-Senator Byrd, Democrat OF
Virginia, warned state bankers
last night that unless the trend
toward a more powerful central
government is halted, the United
States is headed for regimenta-
ton equal to that suffered by the
English"
In speech before the Virginia
Bankers Conference at the Uni
versity of Virginia. the Senator
also said:
Private enterprise cannot sur
vive excessive regimentation, ex-
cessive taxation and excessive
Government competition"
Those who wilfully or other
wise would destroy the American
enterprise system" he said, would
destroy the freedom OF people
everywhere. *'~"
Session Closes Today.
He was to have made an after
dinner address but in order to
accommodate a larger audience
he spoke in Cabell Hall. The
more than 200 bankers attending
the ninth study conference were
scheduled to close their sessions
at noon today.
He pointed out that he has
joined other Senators in intro
ducing resolution providing for
a single appropriation bill, to to-
tai all budget items in one act
and specify how much Of each
item could be obligated in the
next year.
Then he predicted that the Fed
eral Government will run up a
deficit, under present procedures,
of $4,000, 100000 during the fiscal
year ending July l, 1850. and
So. 100000 during the IL
months following.
Says 1Ofo Cut Could Be Absorbed
Senator Byrd insisted on dras-
tic reduction in Federal expend-
itures as the only course open
without courting national disaster
He expressed the opinion that
with the exception of interest on
the public debt and several sim
liar items, there is not a "single
category of Federal expenditures
that could not absorb a 10 pei
cent reduction without impair
ment of essential functions"
A reduction in Federal expend-
itures cannot be accomplished
without a will to do so and q
long-range plan, the Senator
stated.
He noted that the last budget
submitted by President Truman
contained some 40 spending pro-
posals, exclusive of military anc
foreign commitments, but "dic
not recommend the elimination
of a single one of the thousands
of functions, services and activi-
ties of the Federal Government.

Barrett Reports
Upward Trend in
Crime Checked
Numerical Increase
In Serious Cases
Here Noted, !, However

serious crimes in the District over
the 1948 figure, fiscal 1949 brought
signs that the upward trend may
be nearly over.
This, at least. is the opinion of
Police Supt. Robert j. Barrett, who
put it this way in his annual re-
port to the Commissioners yes
terday:
Serious crimes during the year
seemed to level off to a large ex-
tent for the first time since the
war. and the ratio of detection
to the incidence of crime showed
a small but pleasant increase in
clearances."
The leveling process. Maj. Bar
rett's report indicated, covered
only part of the fiscal year ended
last June 80. since there were
more serious crimes this year than
last. In the felony classification,
15,405 crimes were reported in
fiscal 1949, as against 14.845 for
1913.
Cleared Ratio Compared.
OF the felonies reported 9,518
or 61.7 per cent were cleared this
fiscal year. Last year, 1886 or
58.2 per cent were cleared.
Eighty-four murders were re-
ported during fiscal 1949-78 in
fiscal 1948. This was one cate
CORY in which the percentage of
clearances showed no improve
ment. This years record Is 78
clearances (92.8 per cent?. Last
year there were 81 clearances, 94.1
per cent of the murders reported.
At first glance the statistics
seem to show a startling increase
in the incidence of rape-293
rapes reported in fiscal 1949, as
against only 80 last year. This
was explained. however. as result
ing from change in the record
ing system. This year, to bring
their figures in line with the
FBI's unifor msystem of crime
recording. the department classed
all rapes and carnal knowledge
cases, as we'll as attempted rapes
and reports of attempted carnal
knowledge. under the single head
ing rape"
41% of Burglaries Cleared.
Burglary. as usual, proved the
easiest serious crime to get away
with in fiscal 1949. OF 4,424 re-
ported burglaries. 1922 or Ali per
cent were listed as cleared. This
was an improvement, however,
over the 1948 picture, which
showed a SO per cent clearance
record.
Maj. Barrett reported the de-
partment's manpower situation
remained acute through fiscal
1949, despite prospects of pay
raise. The department took on
1875 recruits during the year. But
when this was balanced against
losses of personnel, the net gain
in policemen was only seven. A
net total of IA civilians also were
added to the staff.
Maj. Barrett said the depart
ment had placed much emphasis
during the year on attempts to
curtail the rising rate of juvenile
delinquency.
1851 Traffic Accidents.
"Vice," he declared, "has been
held to minimum during the
fiscal year and further steps have
been inaugurated within the de-
partment to hold it in still closer
check"
The report showed total of
1851 traffic accidents for the
fiscal year. There were 48 fatal
accidents, resulting in So deaths.
The number of injured was 4,907.
Maj. Barrett pointed with pride
to the performance of his force
during the Inauguration last
winter. This, he said, was the
years largest task, adding:
I'VE successfully handled this
large event and received wide ac-
claim from many sources for our
efforts F"

Asks 0'Dwyer To
Enforce Ban On
Public Works
Discrimination

New York, Dec. 30-In a con-
tinued attack upon discriminatory
employment practices in public
construction in New York City,
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
today called upon Mayor William
O'Dwyer to enforce the non-dis-
elimination provisions in the citys
contracts with construction COM
panies.
Protesting against the admins
tration's effort to divert such
cases to the State Commission
Against Discrimination, Mrs. Mar
ian Wynn Perry, NAACP assist
ant special counsel, said in a let
ter addressed to the Mayor: 1--WE
do not like to think that the only
way that we can assure non-dis-
criminatory employment practices
on New York City contracs is
though appeal to state agency
for the enforcement of the state
law. This is particularly true since
the requirement against dis
elimination in city contracts was
in existence may years before
there was a State Commission
Against Discrimination
The letter points out that the
discriminatory practices which are
now the subject of complaints be-
fore the State Commission Against
Discrimination on the Brooklyn
Battery Tunnel and on the New
York Water Supply contracts, had
apparently escaped the attention
of the City. In order to avoid con-
tinuance of this policy, the NAA-
CB stated, the City must act.
At the same time NAACP at
torneys who are representing the
sand hogs, reported to the State
ommissiCon that at membership

pressed Air, Foundation, Caisson,

Roy C. Keeling

Some farmers specialize" some
on one crop, some on one fruit,
some on one vegetable and some
on one class Of livestock.
Many Farmers diversity by cash.
ing in on more than one source
of income.
All farmers need knowledge
about many fields of endeavor,
any one of which provides a full
time occupation.
One day farmer may do some
carpenter work. The next, a faul-
ty carburetor may put him in the
capacity of a mechanic. His cleo
trical system often needs adj
justment.
If a farmer doesn't know mar
kets, he may sell at the wrong
time and lose money. Ignorance
of veterinary science can lose
him many head of stock.
For highest crop production, he
must know about chemistry Of
soils, quality of seed, most eff
cient cultivation, etc. Sprays and
insecticides must be applied in
proper mixture and at the right
time.
A wrong decision or none at all
can lose money and time on the
farm. Too many losses create fatal
debts and mortgages.
The farmers advisor, the coun-
ty agent, must know more than
the farmer or know how to find
out quickly. The prestige of the
Extension Service, under which
the county agent serves, wasn't
created by failure.
