Chicago Certainly Should Know

CHICAGO, May 2 (U. P.).—A Chicago crime expert told Londoners today that two slayings don't make a crime wave. London newspapers, reporting two gangland murders in 24 hours, termed them a “Chicago crime wave.” Virgil Peterson, executive direc tor of the Chicago crime. commis sion sald “we wouldn't consider that much of a crime wave here.” “On Bept. 2, 1945, for! example,” Mr. Peterson said, “we have five murders in one day and three of the victims were police officers.” And in December, 1945, Mr. Peteron sald, 10 persons were slain within eight days. Coroner's juries returned 171 murder verdicts last year, Mr. Peterson sald, but that was an improvement over the ‘20s when Chicago aver-

aged better than a murder a day.

Questions on housing went to both Mr. Wemmer and Mr, Hickman.

Mr. Hicgguan sald the present city administrdtion and the post-war planning commission have a comprehensive plan to solve housing shortage immediately. “I will follow that general pattern for immediate solution,” he said.

Solve Housing Promptly Mr. Wémmer said the housing problems will be solved promptly. “If private enterprise can't cope with the situation my city administration will take other steps to speed adequate building,” he said. “How about the future of labormanagement in Indianapolis?” Mr, ‘Schumacher took this one by saying that the city administration should promote arbitration by calling conferences between labor and management. “I believe we could sit down with representative groups of labor and management and get together on all questions,” he said. Nearly all the candidates got questions about the high cost of government and lack of services. They are answered by saying that

P. women's organisations to help him restore “the respect the Republican party deserves.” “The city of Indianapolis is in a terrible mess, graft and corruption are oozing” in all directions.

My chief aim will be to do those things for the general public that bénefit it most, regardless of consequences to myself. = ‘Fight the Utilities’ “If you want a mayor to carry on a fight to eliminate graft and corruption, fight the utilities against excessive rates, fight for our children, you will have to elect a mayor who has the courage and intestinal fortitude to withstand the heat and pressure from undesirable groups. “There is no man-in the city whe has taken more heat and pressure than I have,” Mr. Dawson said. “From the beginning of my campaign there were ‘three issues I| stressed.
