fAGE FOUR
RAPE, ASSAULTS
.FBI Survey Shows Other
Types Of Offenses De
creasing; Girls Run Wild.
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.

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 15 U.R
U. S. 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.

OREGON, WEDNESDAY,
MaJ. 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.
