Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM KPI-EY
IN Portland, the grand Jury ha report Ml it haa
been unable to find aufflcient aubsuntlated evi
dence ol pald-for police protection of vice and
gambling lo oring in any uiuin
menu. It often happens that people
are convinced, almost to the point
of knowledge, that there la a pay
offbut there la a line between
opinion and proof that they are
unable to cross. That seems to
be what happened In Portland.
A great many people will go
on believing that there has been
paid-for protection tn Portland,
but no one evidently has come
forth with the definite evidence.
This writer has heard talk of
EPLET this kind In every city in wnicn
he has lived. As a newspaper man. he has tried at
times to unearth some specific Information.
He has discovered that there Is a lot of difference,
legally, between "thinking- there is police graft
and In proving it.
If K is to be proved, it will probably have to be
done under a program of secret, special Investiga
tion, and the fanfare of publicity will have to follow
the indictments rather than to proceed them.
Meanwhile. It is unfortunate that commercialized
vice and gambling do not wither and die on the
vine because of lack of patronage by the public.

These Days
By GEORGE E. 80KOL8KV
YEAR by year, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the
FBI, Issues report on the Increase of crime In
the United States. He says:
"Compared with prewar figures, urban crime In
1M7 was still high with rape and aggravated assault
t3 per cent and 59.6 per cent over the average
for 1938-41. Nineteen forty-seven urban crime ex
ceeded prewar average figures rn other categories as
follows: Murder, 15.4 per cent; burglary, 153 per
cent; robbery, 14 per cent; larceny, J per cent;
negligent manslaughter, J 1 per rent; and auto tneit,
1.9 per cent."
He adds:
. . Arrests of males under II Increased 10 5 per
cent over the figures of 1946 and arrest of girls
under 31 declined d per cent . . ."'
crime Increase to dlslocatlona and brutallxatlon at
enme increase to dislocations and brutalisatlon at
tending a war era. But that can be no explanation
for increases of crime among thosa who remained In
the bosoms of their families during the war years.
Or were they not so carefully guarded and nurtured?
Certainly we are up against the fact that the usual
economic cause for crime, stark, brutal, debasing
poverty, does not exist here. What poverty does
exist 4n the United States Is neither stark nor debts
tug and public and private agencies of succor and
relief to serve those who are helpless and depend
ent. Furthermore, we have exiended an enormous
budget for more than a century on general educa
tion, in most states with some measure of com
petence; In some, less co.
a a
Crime Becomes Fun!
FURTHERMORE, there has been no general un
employment during this period: in fact. In some
areas there has won a shortage of labor and
everywhere wages have been extraordinarily high
and attractive, although taxes and the high cost
of living have cut Into earnings.
Nevertheless, crime Increases, and It Increases
among the young. It Is even possible to assume
that crime has. for some children, become fun. Yet,
never In our history have such efforts been made
to organise play, to provide outlet for individual
and collective endeavor ('activities," I believe the
educators call It' than in recent years. In large
cities, particularly, there are city-supported play
grounds, swimming pools, and such devices.
Suppose we were not to deal with crime but
with virtue! Suppose we were to ask why young
people do not commit crimes! What makes them
good?
I attended, as a boy, a public school in a New
York slum one of the very worst slums In this
complex city. All of the boys came from what these
days would be called "underprivileged homes." I
should say that for most of the boys, a penny was a
lot of money. Some of the boys lunched on a frank
furter and roll sold by a pushcart peddler for a
cent or two. I knew of boys who lunched on a
roll with mustard to sweeten It.
a a
No Substitute (or Moral Law
NOW. I have come across some of those boys 40
years later and many of them are fine men.
some in the higher professions, some in business
There may be some thieves and racketeers. A few
of my classmate were earning their livings as
pickpockets even while we were in elementary
school. In fact, I recall one boy who opened a school
for pickpocketing, but his pupils were very few.
Indeed.
What keDt most of these children of immigrants
who lived In stark poverty virtuous? Many of their
parents were totally absorbed In the task, from sun
rise to sunset, of earning a meager living. Few of
their parents were literate In any language. Fewer
still could speak English or were familiar with the
mores of this country. Yet they maintained a high
standard of ethic and were guided by moral law
The answer, of course, la that they did not live
secular live. They were a deeply religiou people
whose personal lives were closely associated with
God's law of right and wrong. And they knew God's
law and handed It down to their children with un
failing certainty. Theirs was not a "relative" world
but one In which "thus saith the Lord" was con
trolling. They called it "respect," but it meant obed
ience and love.
Secularization of education may have advantages
but it has produced no substitute for moral law
J. Edgar Hoover might look Into that.

The Doctor Says
Hernia Cure Now Certain
By EDWIN P. JORDAN. M. D.
Written for NEA Service
A henna means mat some part
of the soft tissues or organs inside
the body have begun to bulge
through the outer coverings which
are supposed to keep them In place
A hernia can appear almost any
where In the body. It is most likely
to develop, however, In those places
which have weak support to start
with. A great many people at some
time In their lives develop such a
hernia, or "rupture."
The place most likely to be in
volved is the groin. There are cer
tain weaknesses of structure here
which make hernia particularly
likely.
Most people who get hernia seem
to be predisposed towards it at
birth. Their structures which are
supposed to keep the organs of the
abdomen in place are weak to start
with. Weakness may not show up
foi a long time or perhaps never,
but under strain, the rupture Is
more likely to develop.
METHOD OF TREATMENT
Most hernias can be treated suc
cessfully by surgery. The purpose
of surgery for a rupture Is to push
back the soft tissues which have
gone down Into the sac, then close
up the weakened wall and sew it
back into place so firmly that the
weakness Is completely eliminated.
Occasionally a rupture comes
back, but generally only after se
vere strain. Also with the fine de
velopment of modern surgery, the
likelihood of recurrence of a hernia
Is becoming less and less.
People who have an inborn ten
dency to rupture can sometimes
avoid difficulty by refraining from
excessive muscular exertion such as
heavy lifting. A truss or support
may help If the strain la not too
great Injection treatment is not
used much and for most victims
of hernia surgery Is the preferred
treatment.

20 Hurt In
Bus Upset
SEATTLE, April 6 W) A crowded
Seattle municipal bus swerved out
of control last night, struck a util
ity pole and overturned. Twenty of
it 41 rush hour passengers were
injured.
The driver. Doyle T. Burwell, 30.
was charged with negligent driving
and released on his own recogniz
ance. Witnesses said he was reaching
for a dime fare when the bus
swerved onto the curb of a level
street at the foot of North Queen
Anne hill.
Burwell told transit system in
spectors that the -teering mechan
ism of the bus appeared to fall.
As the bus crashed over onto It
side, the shaken passengers clawed
through doors and windows. Several
were cut about the face and head
by flying glass.
One woman occupant, Mrs. A. G
Held, was trapped in her seat for
13 minutes before a policeman shat
tered a bus window with a revolver
butt and pried her loose. She was
one of two women held over night
at the Seattle General hospital.
Eight women and two men were
taken to hospitals. All but the two
were later released. Ten other per
sons were treated at the scene for
minor cuts and bruises.

NEW YOKK, April 6 vP) The
small man at the bar was nibbling
away at a cheese sandwich when
the btg man next to htm said:
"Buddy, this Is a big anniversary.
Drink up on me."
"What you celebrating?" asked
the httle man
cautiously.
"The return
of beer." said
the b 1 g man.
"Came back 15
years ago this
week. A won
derful day I n
historv.M
"Why?"
"It got me a
job with a brew
ery!" The little man
looked unimpressed.
"I see." said the big man. "you
don't understand how Important
beer Is. Do you know why the Pil
grim Fathers landed at Massa
chusetts instead of Virginia?"
"No."
Out Of Beer
"Because the ship ran out of
beer!" said the big man triumph
antly. "Brewing is at least 5000 years
old. We got proof even that Noah
took beer along with him on his
ark."
"Hmm. how interesting." said the
little man.
"Yep. beers been a big business
ever since man climbed down out
of the trees.
"Where do you think Joseph
Priestley got his theory on how you
need air to live? By watching bub
bles risliia in a brewery vat."
"Remember that guy John Alden
who beat Myles Standlsh's time
with Priscilla? Why do you think
they brought him along on the May
flower? Because he was a cooper
and could keep the beer barrels re
paired." "I never heard that one." mum
bled the little man. his mouth full
of sandwich.
"Why. America wouldn't have
been nothing except for beer. Wil
liam Penn Introduced beer Into
Pennsylvania and had his own
brewery. Most of the big shots did
then.
"Samuel Adams, the father of the
American Revolution, was a brewer.
Patrick Henry had a private brewer
sent over from Scotland when he
was governor of Virginia. Paul
Revere designed tankards for ale
and beer.
"During the Revolutionary war
congress voted every soldier a qua't
of beer a day, and George Washing
ton complained because hi boys
didn't always get It. George himself
hBd his own recipe for beer.
"Where do you think the U. 8.
marine corps was born? In a tavern
In Philadelphia. What did the first
white child born In New York grow
up to be? A brewer. You ever hear
of Francis Scott Key?"
"Where's he from?" asked the
little man tentatively.
"Where's he from!" mocked the
big man pityingly. "Who cares
Where's he from. He wrote 'The Star
Spangled Bnnner.' our national
anthem. And the flag that caused
him to write It was sewn together
on a brewery floor. Only place big
enough they could find."
"I never knew that before," said
the little man. He began to hum
the anthem.
"Lot of thlntrs people don't know
about the beer Industry," said the
big man sternly. "Such as the brew
eries got a (165.000.000 payroll a
year. We forked over more than
nine million bucks In state and fed
eral taxps last year.
"We paid more than Vi billion
bucks In taxes since beer came back
15 years ago. And von know what:
In that time the crime rate has gone
down and so have Industrial acci
dents and auto deaths. And retail
trade hus gone up. So has the soft
drink business and motion pictures.
Beer never hurt 'em at all."
"All this talk." snld the little man.
"has made me thirsty."
"Now you're talking. What ll you
have; it's on me."
"A nice big glass of cold foamy--,"
"Beer!" said the big man genially.
"No. thanks, I'll take milk."
"Milk! ! !"
"Yes. milk." said the little man
firmly. "I sell dairy products myself."
