Washington, Oct. 20. (U.R)
Two formerly lucrative crimes
kidnaping and bank robbery
appeared today to be disap
pearing from the American
scene: . ,
The underworld apparently
has found such ventures un
wholesome since they were
placed under the jurisdiction of
the Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion by the Lindbergh act of
1932 and the federal bank rob
bery act of 1934.
Major emphasis of the war
time work of the 5,110 special
agents under FBI Director J.
Edgar Hoover is directed toward
national security, but there has
been no relaxation of the investi
gation of other crimes.
Two Kidnaps Unsolved
Only two of the 256 kidnap
ing cases investigated by the
FBI since 1932 remain' un
solved.' In one of these the
kidnaping of Charles Fletcher
Mattson on December 27, 1936,
at Tacoma, Wash. more than
23.000 suspects have been elim-

The last time ransom was
known to have been paid in a
kidnaping was on July, 1938,
when Norman Miller was snatch
ed in New York by the same
gang Involved in the Fried kid
naping of 1937. Ransom was
demanded, but not paid, in the
kidnapings of little, Marc De
Tristan in California in Septem
ber, 1940, the Cash case in Flori
da in May, 1938, and the Peter
Levine case in New Rochelle, N.
Y., In February, 1938.
In the fiscal year ended June
30, there were 29 minor kidnap
ings all solved. During the
same 12 months, there were 47
kidnapings convictions with sen
tences totaling 461 years, 10
months and three days. In none
of these was a demand for ran
som made.
1932 Robbery Peak
Bank robberies reached their
peak in 1932 when 608 banks
were robbed of $4,503,331. Two
years - later the national bank

robbery act was passed and the
incidence of such cases had
dropped 92 per cent during the
last year. Last year there were
only 48 bank robberies with
loot totaling $194,476. Largely
as a result of FBI activities, in
surance rates in this field have
been drastically reduced.
' During fiscal 1943, there were
92 bank robbery, burglary and
larceny convictions with sen
tences totaling 725 years, two
months and 10 days. .

Buddies of Medford Man In Navy
Recognize His Mother Here From
Her Photograph Seen Aboard Ship
Because Elmer Settell keeps a picture of his mother in his
quarters on one of the navy's destroyers, Mrs. Anna Settell of
Thomas Road made the acquaintance of six navy men out of
the same fleet unit not long ago. Mrs. Settell had accom
panied her daughter to a dance when the six young men cam
up and one addressed her by name. He relieved her bewilder
ment by explaining that he had recognized her from the pic
ture and then gave the surprised mother recent news of her son.

What American woman would knowingly
waste a bit of food at a time like tint? Not one! We
all know that I
But there'i no getting around it wasting food
has been a habit with most of us Americans.
And the worst of it is, that when we waste this
food, it isn't all we waste. We waste man and
woman power, too. At the country's largest canner
of fruits and vegetables, Del Monte knows only too.
well what that means. -
We know firsthand the months it took the farmers
to grow just Del Monte foods. We know how hard
it was this summer to get all the help needed to
pack these foods and how patriotically housewives
who never before had worked in a cannery helped
out, alongside our regular staff. We know the many
train and truck miles it took to get these foods to
your grocer and the hundreds of thousands of
busy days put in by grocers just to make them
available.
Probably you are doing everything you know to
prevent waste. But if you want to be sure if you
want to plug every loophole check your own shop
ping and eating habits against the questions below. -It's

2. Do you buy only what you need?
Know what yonr family will eat. And
shop early in the ration period, for best
chances of finding foods or brands your
family will finish up.
3. Do you buy brands you know?
A wise precaution against waste any

soke, it's doubly wise to check the

first class, copies of the Home

reading each copy he put it up
