Washington, Sept. 15 AJ.B Tht federal bureau of Investiga tion laid today that rape and aggravated assault have "defi nitely emerged" as wartime crime and have shown a steady upward trend since the outbreak of war despite the decline In other types of offenses. In semi-annual report based on statistics furnished by local police departments, the FBI said that compared with the pre-war average for January-June of 1939-1941, rapes Increased 10.5 per cent for the first half of 1942, and 2B.4 per cent for the first half of 1943. In the same periods, aggravat ed assaults, which Include as saults with Intent to kill, shoot ings, cuttings, stabbings, malm ' ings and scalding, Were up 8.5 per cent in 1942 and 13,8 per cent in 1943. - . Girls Run Wild One of the most significant Items In the report was the large Increase in arrests of under-aged girls, particularly for "crimes against common decency" de fined as drunkenness, vagrancy, disorderly conduct, prostitution and other sex crimes. ' Arrest of girls under 21 for such offenses during the first half of 1943, the report said, was 89.5 per cent greater than dur ing th first half of 1942. Arrest of girls under 21 for all offenses increased 64.7 per cent over the first half of 1942 and exceeded the number for the entire year of 1941, Male and female arrests combined showed a 17.7 per cent increase in the 17-year-old group. "The increase In delinquency on the part of girls under 21 years of age and boys under 18 years of age," the FBI tald.

"again shows the urgent need for efforts toward greater effective ness in the planning and opera tion of community-wide crime prevention programs. This Is a problem which no community can neglect without suffering the consequences in terms of de graded youth and rising crime costs. Boom Blamed 'The recent disruptions In the economic and social staius of the population in many cities and the resultant Increased conges tion and personal contact are factors which probably contrib ute to the rise In assaults and rapes during boom conditions such as these." The effect of trsnsferral of large numbers of men to the armed services was reflected In the fact that male arrests of all types declined by 29.3 per cent during the first half of 1943, while female arrests (for all ages) went up 18.4 per cent. The predominating age for male ar rests was 18, followed by 17, and for females, 19, followed by IB. Murders during 1942 showed little change from the pre-war average, while during the first half of 1943 they were 4.4 per cent under the pre-war average. Crimes against property showed decreases during the first half of 1943 from the pre-war average by these percentages: robbery, down 10.9; burglary, down' 10.8; larceny, down 13.4 automobile thefts, down 5.2.

Soldiers who volun teered to work in the South Jer sey canneries had union dues taken out of their pay checks, Herbert W. Voorhees, president of the New Jersey Farm Bureau, charged today. " I was shocked beyond words several days ago to learn that when a contingent of soldiers reported for work at a certain South Jersey cannery, the man agement was instructed to make the usual union dues deductions, popularly- known as the 'check off from the cannery pay enve lope of each one of these sol diers who had volunteered to help New Jersey farmers save' this essential food," he asserted.) He did not name either the cannery or the union involved and said he did ot know whether all the soldiers employed throughout the state paid union dues. "But I do know that It hap pened In the case of one par ticulnr cannery," he said, adding that farmers throughout the state were "incensed by such treatment." . Washington, Sept. 15 (U.R) War manpower commission or ficlals said today that they have had no Information that soldier volunteers working in New Jer sey canneries had union dues deducted from their pay.

Hyman Tucker, head of the psychiatry department of the Camp White station hospital, was the principal speaker at Tues day's regular weekly luncheon meeting of the Kiwanls club in Hotel Holland. MaJ. Tucker's speech dealt with mental health in the army and how efforts were being made to weed out psycho-neurotics prior to Induction. "Military life will only aggravate their condi tion," he explained, "and the army is not the place for those men who have been problems in private life." For inductees who have suf fered mental letdowns, there are three types of treatment, he said, hydro-therapy, occupational the rapy and psycho-therapy. The speaker said that 20 per cent of World War I veterans now drawing compensation were mental cases, each of which cost the government $35,000. A new member of the club was Frank W. Humphrey. Guests were J. C. Tucker and Dr. Frank Roberts. Program chairman was Les Ternahan. Members said farewell to Dr. Walter Hoppe, who has been commissioned a captain in the dental branch of the army medical corps, and who leaves here Thursday for duty at Barnes General hospital in .Van couver, Wash.
