Urges Newspapers Help
Fight on Sex Grimes

NEW YORK-The nations edi-
tors have been asked to aid law
enforcement agencies in a fight to
curb the ever increasing rate OF
sex crimes in the United States.
In an address before the Ameri-
can Newspaper publishers associa-
ton, Edwin S. Friendly, president,
told the editors sex crimes i'm
peril the moral fibre of our ma
ton"
To-day the sex maniac is on the
rampage. The depraved sex crimi-
nal has replaced the kidnaper as a
threat to the peace of mind Of par
ents of America"
He then asked the editors to
help law enforcers curb these
heinous crimes"
Rape cases in the United States
have reached an all-time high
increasing 100 per cent in the last
Is years and so per cent over pre-
war years, he told the newspaper
men.
He quoted the opinion of F. B. 1.
Chief ]. Edgar Hoover that news
papers should play up sex offenses
to put the spotlight on offenders,
but withhold the names of victims.
1.-THE newspapers Of the nation
have never been squeamish in re-
porting the news-in putting honest
facts before the public. They can
not afford to hedge in this grave
matter.
Let us back up tough legisla-
ton and undiminished policing
with fortnight and courageous
Journalism to help eliminate the
serious menace of the sex crimi-
NAL" Friendly said.
''Most frightening Of ALL" he
said, sis the fact that most OF the
victims are children"

Important Hints
About Railroad
Crossings

Dayton motorists are cautioned
about strictly observing the Stop,
Look and Listen instructions at
grade crossings. 1t is necessary to
make this special plea because of
the wave of fatalities at Dayton
and vicinity grade crossings.
Many Of these fatalities have oc-
Cured because of the negligence
Of drivers.
Never trust to automatic sig
nails. They can and often do break
down. Always slow down at a
crossing and use your eyes and
ears.
Always wait for the lights to
cease blinking after a train pass
es. There may be another train
approaching from the opposite di-
restion.
Never pass another car in front
Of you which has stopped at a
crossing.
Avoid taking alleys and routes
which r cut by railroad tracks
without signals of any sort.
Avoid crossings which have a
dead" approach; i.e., where you
are unable to see up or down the
tracks until you are practically
on them.
Never race a train at a cross
ing. Never think you can beat it
across.
Above all, always be alert at
crossings, Concentrate on the
crossing. Many a fatality has re-
suited from a momentary lapse
Of concentration on driving.

from Uncle Sam. He is particul-
arly anxious that Negro GIs do
the smart thing Of saving at
least part of their money. He sug-
gests that they reinvest it in IT,
S. Savings Bonds, especially in
that E Bond. The E Bond pays
the highest rate, of interest and
is one of the best securities the
government ever issued.
This suggestion is very meritor-
ious. Civic, fraternal and church
leaders should make an effort to
urge GIs who will receive this
money to take this suggestion un-
der serious advisement.
Of course it may turn up that
the money will be used to meet
S e financial obligation. But
suppose the obligation does not
equal the entire amount of the
dividend. What more thrifty idea
then to purchase E Bonds with
the balance?
