J. Edward Hoover, head of the Fed­
eral Bureau of Investigation, has ad­
vised the American motoring public,
through the Oregon State Motor As­
sociation, to be alert to the increasing
criminal element on the nation’s high­
ways posing as innocent hitch hikers.
Females are taking to the road as well

being an “accessory after the fact”
abetting a cr minal escape. The warn­

a gun gang, or even a stickup art­

Aside from the physicial dangers
and badgering possibilities of hitch

for any injury to the hitch hiker they
may pick up. Even though 23 states
forbid hitch hiking by law, a glance at
the roadside suggests that these laws
are seldom enforced.
The F. B. I. says that the prints of
two out of five thumbs that beg the
motorist for a ride on the highways
can be identified in the Bureau’s files
in Washington. These files as well as
stories in the newspapers across the
land offer ample proof of the danger
of picking up hitch hikers.
