The FBI said its figures were "considered conservative” because they do not include some major crimes such as arson, otner sex crimes than rape, embezzlement and carrying concealed weapons. In its annual report on crime throughout the United States, the agency said the recent postwar up turn in major crimes “cannot be charged to an Increase in popula tion 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.’’ NEW YORK LEADS The report said New York, the nation's largest city, led the coun try in the number of major crimes , committed within its jurisdiction last year, with Chicago second in most categories.

O. Holly day, fired as head of the Federal Housing adminis tration, accepted with praise the resignation of a high FHA official charged with heavy gambling and demanding money from people seeking FHA loans. | Federal housing chief Albert M. Cole gave the testimony in explain ing why the White House last week ftreri Hollyday without warning. Cole told the Senate Banking Committee that Hollyday’s "admin istrative laxity” was the main rea son for his abrupt dismissal. Among other things, he said. Hollyday sent a “laudatory letter” to a high FHA official who resigned, even though it was “well known” by Hollyday that the official was under FBI investigation. Cole did not identify the official he charged with “serious irregular ities.” But he said at one point that the man had been in charge of the rental apartment program. COLLUSION PROBED Cole testified that he had told Hollyday to investigate possible “collusion or negligence” in the apartment building program and that information indicated a high FHA official had been “gambling with large amounts” and had been “demanding money from people for the purpose of securing commit- ments from the FHA."
