Major Crimes Hit Record High Mark FBI Report Shows 6 Percent Increase WASHINGTON UP — The FBI said today the number of major crimes jumped 6 per cent last year to a new record high and warned that criminal acts are increasing four times as fast as the nation's population. It estimated that 2,159,080 major crimes were committed throughout the nation in 1953. The previous record year was 1952 when the FBI reported 2,036,510 crimes. The FBI said its figures were 'considered conservative” because they do not include some major crimes such as arson, other sex • crimes than embezzlement and carrying concealed weapons. In its annual report on crime, the FBI said tb.6 postwar upturn in major crimes “cannot be charged to an increase in population ■ alone.’’ ’Crime is outstripping population rate of growth 4 to 1,” it said. ‘‘Our population increased 5 per cent and crime jumped 20 per cent ' since 1950.” The report said New’ York, the nation's largest city, led the country in the number of major crimes ’ committed within its jurisdiction last year with Chicago second in most categories of criminal acts. • According to the report, New ’ York had 321 murders in 1953 while Chiago had 291, Detroit 130, Houston 114. Los (Angeles 82 and Atlanta and Washington, D. C., 74 ’ each. The top 10 cities in robberies ranged from New York’s 8,890 to Cleveland’s 787. The FBI estimated that four mH*'" lion persons were arrested for crimes other than traffic violations during 1953. It based this estimate ’ on the fact that 1,174 cities participating in its survey reported 1,791.160 separate arrests during Jhe year. x ’ Os the total for 1,174 cities, youths under 18 were involved in ' 8.4 per cent of the arrests: under 21 years old, 14.7 per cent; and ’ under 25 years old, 24.9 per cent. The FBI said that youths under 21 accounted for 50:6 per cent of all crimes against property — robbery, burglary, larceny, auto theft and similar crimes. Dies Monday Night NEW YORK.
