For lesser crimes, such as
carrying concealed weapons
auto tampering and purse
snatching, there were $50 of
fenses in 1861 as compared to
494 the year before.
The percentage gain for ma
ior offensives was 11.3 and for
lesser crimes. 7.2.
The biggest jump in the ma
jor offenses, which are punish
able by death in the electric
chair or a penitentiary sentence
was in housebreaking and lar
ceny, 101 in 1861 and 80 in
1860.
The biggest drop, percentage,
wise. was in armed robbery.
Five were reported in 1861 as
compared to 10 offenses in
1860 Another impressive drop
was in autos stolen; As last
year, II the year before
The biggest increase in lesser
crimes punishable by sentence
in the penitentiary or county
iail) was in auto tampering.
There were 10 reported last
year; none in 1860.
A substantial increase also
was noted in petty larcenies
with 437 recorded in 1861 and
4O2 in 1860.
1t was also reported that
there was a II per cent increase
in misdemeanors which are
covered by city ordinances.
These crimes carry fines and
sentences to the county jail.
90 Total Increase
Chief Weaver stated that the
overall total Of these classified
tions 1868 in 1861 So in 1860
shows 80 per cent increase.
"The national average as re-
ported by the FBI," he said,
"shows an approximate five per
cent increase for the first nine
months Of 1861 although the
national average for cities un-
der 10000 population shows an
approximate increase of 10 per
cent"
Juvenile delinquency also was
on the upswing, according TO
the report. 1t listed 441 juven-
lies handled by the police de-
partment in 1861 as compared
to 392 in 1860. This is 12l2
per cent increase.
From Other Communities
However. the chief noted that
200 or approximately half the
juveniles arrested were from
other communities.
As in past years, there were
some unusual figures noted in
the report. For example. there
were As autos stolen IN 1861 and
81 recovered.
In property stolen, the figure
was S62.S35.32. Property re
covered totaled $s4,035.s4.
Chief Weaver was quick to
explain that as there were more
offenses committed in East
Cleveland in 1861, there also
were more arrests made.
Praises Policemen
"This is indicative of the ad-
ditional work done by all mem
bers of the police department, >
he said.
He further praised his men
for the fine work they did in

Judge Reeves Wins Suit
With Ex-Friendo on Lond

The ex-fiancee Of Municipal
Court Judge Mildred E. Reeves
who was sued by her after
their romance cooled, has lost
the legal battle.
1t appears his big mistake
was failure to wear his reading
glasses.
The case involved a settle
.ment agreement signed by
Judge Reeves. 81, and Frederic
L. Paterson, 70, q longtime
real estate operator, who is
listed as living at 1905 Con-
necticut avenue NV.
Brought Suit
Judge Reeves and Mr.. Pater-
son met in the 1905. When
they parted, q squabble arose
over some promissory notes for
$18,650 and some land in
Loudoun County, Va.
The judge sued Mr.. Paterson

Archibald Cox made a speech
saying the Government must
play what amounted to q third
party role in major wage-price
decisions, even if only to the
extent of asserting its general
views. Although Mr.. Cox en-
phaSized he was speaking in a
private capacity, some Wall
Street observers speculated his
remarks - implying greater
Government activity in the
management-labor field & con-
tributed to the days decline
in prices.
Mr.. Kennedy, replying to a
news conference question the
next day, said he had not read
Mr.. Cox's speech. The Presi-
dent advocated policies to per-
NIT business to compete and
stimulate the economy but said
in a free economy I'VE have to
attempt to work out solutions
on a voluntary basis"
Muzzling Is Denied
Administration sources insist
there will be no muzzling in
connection with domestic policy
utterances. And they say the
understanding among various
agencies to assure coordination
came about as a natural de-
velopment. not as the result Of
a directive.
The White House is known to
feel the administration has
Jared pretty well in presenting
a consistent position on matters
Of national security. AS have
other administrations, it sug-
gested to all concerned at the
outset that statements on I'M
touched or controversial areas
of domestic policy be checked
in advance.
For some time. however, the
economy wasn't a subject par
ticulary ripe for controversial
or sensitive expressions and the
procedure was largely over

tains; the signed could have

to sign it until he obtained his

Washington.
Now. according to admins
tration sources, statements and
speeches In thorny areas will
be co-ordinated. That means
they'll be screened, probably
at the White House, to make
sure they express consistent
policy.
A statement this week by
Evan Clague. commissioner Of
labor statistics, accented the
situation. It prompted a quick
contradiction by Mr.. Clague's
boss, Secretary Of Labor Gold
berg.
Conflicts About Economy
Ever since the stock market
took its big dip, administration
Spokesman have been insisting
the economy is in good health.
All Of q sudden Mr.. Clague was
quoted as saying q recession is
likely next year and the only
question really is when it will
happen. Mr.. Goldberg swiftly
countered that "the economic
facts do not bear out such an
assumption" Then Mr.. Clague
issued a statement contending
he's been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
he hadn't predicted q recession
but was analyzing economic
trends which show q downturn
every 3 or 31z years.
Mr.. Goldberg's was the first
direct, public reaction to a
touchy theory expounded by
another Government official.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger has said he
knew Of no clearing system
through which recent state
ments on the economy passed
and the record bears him
out.
Secretary Of the Treasury
Dillon said on June 4 the ad-
ministration would recommend
top to bottom" income tax
cuts for next year. Two days
later stories appeared in sew
eral papers that Mr.. Kennedy
had decided to propose i'm
mediate income tax reduction,
or at least had it under the
deepest kind Of consideration.
The reports obviously stemmed
from an administration source,
repeatedly one in the White
House.
Presidential Announcement
The next day Mr.. Kennedy
announced his five-point pack
age to bolster the economy. 1t
included income tax reduction
next year. Asked II he could
foreSee circumstances under
which earlier cuts would be
asked. he said his program rep
resented "our best judgment
at this time" and "the most
responsible and effective line
to take"

counterclaimed for half Of the

had helped it increase in value.
The agreement was signed In

asked the courts to set it aside.
He said he had mistakenly be-
