By ARTHUR F. DEGRIEVE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—J. Edgar Hoover, director of the federal bureau of investigation, warns that {the first signs of a post-war crime [wave of “considerable magnitude” |already are appearing. He disclosed {that the G-men have begun prep{arations to combat it, | He sald in an interview yester{day that groups of F. B. I. agents aré being brought back to headquarters here for retraining. He emphasized that stress is being laid on three avenues of crime—kidnapings, extortion and bank rgpberies.

Kidnapings IncredSing

“Kidnapings are on the increase,” he said. “We 'had that situation pretty well controlled until recently. There just weren't any more kidnapings. “Already we are beginning to receive reports of bank robberies. A number of them, unlike the kidnapings, have been committed by discharged veterans of world war ny Hoover sald that three factors must be faced in consideration of the post-war crime picture: ONE: Juvenile delinquency, which is “growing to sizable proportions.” TWO: Economic readjustment of war workers. THREE: Veterans who had criminal tendencies before they entered the armed service and who have been taught to kill

Up to Economic Planners

“The number of people involved in any of these factors does not need to be large to create a post war crime wave of considerable magnitude,” he said, “1s such an outbreak inevitable?” he was asked. “No,” he replied. “It could be avoided if we lived in the midst of Utopian conditions. Unfortunate-

men does not believe that any large number of the returning veterans will engage in criminal pursuits. . He stressed, however, that the number which does turn to erime will be determined largely by economic planners. “The great bulk of the servicemen will return to the normal way of life, provided plans have been made to provide them an opportunity to earn a living,” he said. “Without that—we will have chaos.” Economic planners, he said, also hold the decision as to whether war workegs now drawing fat salaries in arms plants will be able to make adequate wages after the war, Otherwise, he said, they also may’ turn to crime. If the number of sex crimes rises sharply at war's end, Hoover asserted, it probably will be caused by delinquent juveniles. ‘ Hoover has a staff of 4000 scattered throughout the country. There are 1940 F. B. 1. employees in the armed services. He. said his. department would continue to rely heavily upon local police officials for co-operation,

The first 1,000,~ 000 draftees of ages 21 to 30 examined at mobilization camps in 1917, ‘on the other hand, averaged 67.49 inches in height. The proportion of tall men among the 1943 selectees was greater than among those of the last war. More than a quarter of the recent selectees were found to be over 5 feet 10 inches, representing an increase of about 5 per cent over those of the last war. : 9 In 100 Are 6 Feet

At -present about nine men In every 100 are six-footers, A quarter of a century ago only six or seven in every hundred reached that height, the company statisticians reported. This trend toward increased height among American men is also shown hy a study of men within certain age groups examined for induction, since the older men were Shvieway I born at an earlier period. The average stature of 18 and 19-year-olds, who have not reached their full growth, is actually a little greater than that of men over 30. Men 20 to 24 years of age are about 68.15 inches tall, whereas those over 35 average 67.54 inches in height. About 91 in every 1000 men between 20 to 24 were found to be sixfooters; less than 58 in every thousand of those 35 or ovem were this

Credit is given for months of service, months spent overseas, medals earned, and for ‘the first three dependent children under 18 years of age. These points will add up to scores which will decide whether your soldier comes home after the theater commander declares what numbers and types of men can be spared.
