FBI Chief Blames 'Soff-Headedness' For Crime Wave Washington (UP) FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover bad harsh words today for "soft headed"' parents who fail to teach their children "respect for God. the law. and others." Hoover blamed them for the nation's postwar crime wave which he feels "is essentially a youth problem." Children need playgrounds, youth agencies, and organiza tions like the Boy Scouts, Hoover told a House appropriations sub committee. But "no one of these can take the place of the mother and father conscious of their responsibility to inculcate in youth respect for God, the law, and others." '"That is what is lacking to day." he said. Crime Wave Critical The nation's chief law enforce ment officer told the subcom mittee in closed-door testimony published last night that while the postwar crime wave has shown signs of slacking off slightly, it still is critical, par ticularly among youths. He gave figures showing an estimated 2.255.000 major crimes were committed in 1955 half of one per cent less than in 1954. This was the first drop since 1947. But he noted that during the first half of last year, a major crime was committed every 13",9 seconds. Every 4.2 minutes there was a crime of murder, man slaughter, rape or assault with intent to kill. ' Showgirl Visits England To Find Pen Pal in U. S.

(International) Need Toid for More Scientists Portland (U.R) Members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers meeting here yesterday heard speakers stress the need for more train ed scientists and engineers, and advocate further hydro-clcclric dam construction in the North west. Joseph W. Barker, president of the society, told members that teacher salaries are an ob stacle iii obtaining enough trained scientists and engin eers. In his keynote address before the 800 members he said, "Tea cher pay is certainly an ob stacle. What happens when a high school science teacher sees a newspaper advertisement of fering $400 to S450 a month for a new engineering graduate and compares it with his "own S250 or S300 a month?" Barker added that a partial solution of the problem may lie in allowing professional engin eers to devote a few hours each week to class room instruction on a voluntary basis. Kenneth W. McCaffree,. assis tant professor of economics at the University of Washington, told the group that the best bet for ' the Northwest still lies in the development of hydro-electric power, despite the fact that they may later be outdated by nuclear power plants. An estimated 535,000 acres were seeded to rye in North Dakota during the fall of 1955.
