Edgar Hoover reported today that crime in American cities has "continued its relentless upward trend.” Murders were up 9 per cent, forcible rapes increased 2 per cent and aggravated a au 11 s were 3 per cent higher. -That was the toll listed in the FBl’s uni- 1 form crime report for January, February and March of this year. Hoover said “crime reached a record high in 1960’’ and the crime index showed an “alarming” 10 per cent jump in serious offenses during the first three months of 1961. compared to the same period a year ago.

over the rather ominous reports of crimes against the person, particularly the crime of rape.” The report said there was a 41 per cent hike in forcible rapes during the first three months of the year in the 28 American cities of 250,000 to 500,000 population. This increase occurred, it said, when “normally the number of rapes. . .is comparatively low.” One of the few exceptions to the trend toward more crime. Hoover said, was an 18 per cent decrease in pickpocket activity. But purse-snatchings rose 2 per cent and shoplifting was 21 per cent more frequent in the period. All other types of thefts were up more than 2 per cent. “Contributing greatly to the over-all murder increase (9 per

cent),” he said, “was a 38 per cent rise in felonious, willful kill, ings reported to the FBI by the largest cities.” The largest single increase of any crime for any size city was the 57 per cent jump in murders reported by the five cities of betweeh 750,000 and one million in--1 habitants. The four cities over one million population had a 29 per cent jump in the murder rate, Hoover said. Cities of all sizes recorded increases in property crimes, he said. Robbery, up 18 per cent in 1960, was 7 per cent higher in the first quarter. Larcenies over SSO jumped $3 per cent, burglaries ot homes and business houses were 11 per cent higher and auto thefts rose 9 per cent. Street robberies were up 12 per cent, robberies of business establishments showed an 11 per cent rise and police reported to the FBI an 8 per cent increase in home robberies.

She became mad since Robinson pulled in front of her, and she passed him on the left, putting three cars abreast for an instant, got around him, stopped in front of him, and got out of her car and stabbed Robinson in the left side near tife armpit with a switchblade. Robinson was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital where four stitches were required to close the wound.
