WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 (U. P.). “A record-breaking increase In crime during the first six months of 1946 over the corresponding 1945 period was reported today by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. Based on reports of law enforcement agencies throughout the country, he said, the number of crimes jumped 13 per cent over a year ago. “This is the highest rate of in-| crease of crime in the United States since 1930 when national figures on the extent of crime were first published,” Hoover said.
