Growth of Crime in the United States
Just released by John Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, is a 143-page booklet of 1961 Uniform
Crime Reports in the United States. It gives statistics on all
types of felonies, crime trends, incidence by day of the weeK,
disposition of cases, and much other information.
Figures listed in a "crime capsule," a summary of Ubi
crime in the nation, concern every American:
A total of 1,926,090 serious crimes reported in 1961, rep
resenting a 3 percent increase over the previous all-time high
recorded in 1960. , , , ..
Crime during the past five years outstripped population
growth by 5 to 1. .
The crime clock ticked off four serious crimes per minute.
Burglaries, numbering 852,500 in 1961, were up four percent.
Average value of property stolen was $187 per burglary.
Forcible break-ins were made in 70 percent of all burglaries
while entry was gained by open means in 21 per cent.
Three males were murdered for each female victim. Fifty
three percent of the murders committed were by use of fire-
""value of property stolen reached $591,815,000, but the loss
was cut to 48 cents on the dollar by effective police recoveries.
Police performance in solving the violent crimes of murder,
aggravated assault, robbery and forcible rape was up seven
percent over 1960.
Arrests for all criminal acts increased one percent with
female arrests rising at a faster pace than male arrests.
Arrests of young people under 18 were up four percent over
the previous year. Nearly half of the juvenile arrests were hand
led by police without referral to juvenile court.
Arrests for white collar crimes of forgery, embezzlements
and fraud were up four percent.
Over eight police officers per 100 were assaulted during
the course of duty in 1961 and 71 law enforcement officers were
killed.
Average number of police employees per 1,000 inhabitants
was 1.9, no change over 1960.
In this nation in 1961 there was, on the average, one murder
every hour, one forcible rape every 33 minutes, one aggravated
assault every four minutes, one robbery every six minutes, one
burglary every 37 seconds, one auto theft every l'a minutes,
"As crime continues Its upward climb, the demands on
police increase," the booklet points out, "yet the number of
full-time police employees to handle the job remains relatively
constant. Rapidly expanding cities, both in area and population,
require spreading even thinner the inadequate manpower now
available to scores of law enforcement agencies ... An alert,
cooperative citizenry can go a long way toward assisting the
law enforcement profession in its drive to prevent crime and
detect offenders."

WHEN FIRE hit the Melvin
Moyer place last week, one
neighbor who was on deck to
do his part fighting the fire was
Kenny Turner, who lives about
seven miles away. Noticing the
good work of the men of the
Heppner Fire Protection district,
Ken wondered if his place were
within the boundaries of the dis
trict. He asked Fire Chief Charles
Ruggles about it, but Charlie
didn't know for sure, and Ken
said he would be in next day
to check.
Well, Ken didn't make It in,
but he found out this week that
he was within the boundaries
for fire struck at his place at
about the same time of day a
week later than the Moyer fire.
Neighbors and the firemen ral
lied to help Ken as he had ral
lied to help the Moyers. Heppner
rural fire district responded, of
course, and Turner said he just
couldn't say too much about
their good work.
Lowell Gribble came out with
a spray tank from Heppner and
many others responded. Denny
Swanson, home from service,
and Doug Dubuque were work
ing for Turner and they pitched
in to save another stack of
baled hay while Ken went for
help. Ken told Doug and Denny
to fight the fire for all they
were worth, and they took him
literally. The two worked to the
exhaustion point. They had to
wrap Doug with wet sacks after
his ordeal from the fire, and he
was pretty well scorched, but
they prevented it from spread
ing. In speaking of the firemen and
his good neighbors, Ken said.
"They are pretty wonderful guvs
in our book." Chief Ruggles,
Bill Farra and Fred Uimbel
worked like trojans in bringing
the fire under control, even
though the barn was virtually
consumed before they could
reach the scene. Ken said it al
most seemed to explode and was
actually destroyed in about five
minutes. It seemed almost In
credible to him.
IF THERE were any In the coun
ty who didn't give Nels Ander
son an AA rating as a county
agent, it must be conceded now
that he is entitled to that rating.
Nels received his summer school
grades from Colorado this week
and was happy to discover that
he made A's in each of the two
courses he took. This was some
what of a surprise because he
found them pretty stiff and re
quiring considerable research
work.
One thing about it. being a
4.0 student at his age gave Nels
a talking point in chatting with
his college age children. Most
of us have to brag about the
grades we got in college years
ago while our children cast a
skeptical eye on us, figuring a
few grade points for exaggera
tion with the passage of time,
hut Nels has the real goods to
show.
Now that he is a four-point,
we can't blame Nels for wanting
lo go ahead and finish the work
for his master's degree, which
he Is thinking of doing.
This man Is not only four
point in summer school but he
is four-point as a county agent,
too. He lias a mighty important
role in the county, and we have
been out with him enough to
see the high respect with which
he is held for the vital work he
is doing on agriculture.
WHILE CREDITS are being
passed around, we'd like to
say a few words for Herman
Slroeber, electrician for Kinzua
Pomona Grange
To Meet July 28
David Rowe of the Bureau of
Municipal Research and Mrs,
Elaine Esselstvn, executive sec
retary of the Mid-Columbia
Planning council, will be speak
ers at Morrow County Pomona
Grange in Boardman, Saturday,
July 28. Rowe, of Pendleton, will
speak during the afternoon lec
turer's hour on zoning in Mor
row county, and Mrs, Essplstyn
will discuss work of the Mid
Columbia council.
The Boardman grange will be
host for the meeting. Mrs. W. G.
Seehafer, lecturer, announced
the program.
Corporation. This man has been
awfully good about helping out
business people, farmers and
residents who have electrical
troubles since there Is a shortage
of electricians around here.
We have been having trouble
with a controller on the news
paper press, and Herman came
at 8 p.m. last night to get it
operative again. He has respond
ed when needed several times
before after working a full shift
at the mill.
On Sunday we happen to know
that he was called out twice
to get farmers' pumps going and
he ennn t roll Into hed until
about midnight.
But Herman thinks the Kinzua
people are about the best
people in the world to work for
and the men there are the best
going to work with. '
