IT'S HAKD TO BKLIjKVti BUT
STATISTICS SAY NO
The question has aiisen as tc
whether it will, or wjll not, affect
your clianeea of getting a job it
you are so nervous when being
interviewed that you get panicky
and are as apt to say "no" when
"es" is the right answer.
Analysiiits say that employment
directors expect an applicant to be
nervous and make due allowance
lor same. Kar better to be panicky,
they aver, than to be over-confident
or boastful.
We recall the lamented famine
of plenty, when nobody had money,
am! how every body has money and
little to buy.

Draft Changes
Are Announced
High school students until fur
ther notice will not be called tor
prcinduetion or preinduction ex
uninatioas until they reach 20
years of age, unless they graduate
adore they are 20 or quit school.
The new directive came this
veek to State headquarters of Se
ovtive Service at Raleigh from
A'ashington. and was relayed to
local draft boards.
Lieut. Col. Charles R. Jonas, o:
the legal division of the State
office, interpreted the new regu
lation as lollows:
"Any person who entered high
school before he was 18, and is
ordered to report tor induction
while pursuing a high school course
mall, upon hi request, have his
induction or preinduction exami
nation postponed: first, until he
graduates; second, if he ceases to
pursue continuously or satisfactor
ily his course, or third, until he is
20 years old. or which is earliest,"
It means, in effect, said Colonel
Jones, no high school student will
be bothered by the draft boards
until he is 20, unless he graduates
t If! or 9, is derelict in his class
es, or quits school. The hard
working, conscientious student will
not be called.
The directive came from Wash
ington as an amendment to a pre
vious directive that postponed in
duction, but didn't postpone pre
iiidueUun examinations.
Any person who has entered col
lege, the amendment continues, be
fore he is 18, and who Is ordered to
report for induction during a quar
ter or semester shall, upon his re
quest, have his induction and x
ami nation postponed until the end
of the quarter or semester, Colonel
Jones said.
The amended directive fame as
good news to high school students
and their parents, as it does away
with examinations as well as in
duction for a stated period. Here
tofore, when students were called
they were required, to take physi
cal examinations, although they
were given deferment, it was stated.

I Sharp Upswing
In 'Crime Noted
Through Nation
By J. EDGAR HOOVER
(Director, Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation as Told to Blair Bolles
of North American News
paper Alliance.)
WASHINGTON The juvenile
delinquents of the war years now
are branching out into ma lor crime.
The kids who recently were st!--
ing tires from automobiles and
bicycles today steal autos and rob
banks. That is the dominant Japt
in the current upswing in the num
ber of crimes committed. '
We anticipated an increase ia
crime as a result of the terrific in
crease in juvenile delinquency
dating back to 1940 and 1941. Dur
ing the last couple of years more
. . .. ...... .1 i n i v. .... . i
than any other age group. We have
been through a period of motional
upheaval, and its criminal after
math now, affects every corner of
the country.
Statistics show the striking in
crease especially in the crimes that
get bare mention in the newspapers
but which pose the commonest
problem in the maintenance of law
and order. For instance, September
1945, shows an increase of 15.8 per
cetn over the number of crimes
committed in September 1944. The
increase in auto theft was 39.4 per
cent, robbery 31.8 per cent, , and
burglary 23.7 per. cent.-
The increase has been noticeable
during all of 1945 to date. The first
nine months had 10.3 per cent more
crime than the first nine months of
1944. The increase In murder and
other homicide was 7 8 Der pent
negligent manslaughter 6.6 pes
cent, rape 7.8 per cent, robbery
17.5 per cent, burglary 15.4 per
cent cent, auto theft 14.2 per cent,
larceny 8,4 per cent, aggravated
assault 8.8 per cent.
Now that we are In the period ot
transition after the war, young'
sters who were making good monet
find their incomes cut down. They
compete for work with the return.
Ing veteran, and Home of these kids
who have been prospering in a
period of great laxity, turn to
crime. While the average man be
came a better citizen for his year$
In.the army, and few criminals wh6
became soldiers probably return to
(ivilian life with less regard fo
life than they had before and cerl
tainly with greater skill at handling
weapons. 7
Every community in the country
ought to analyze its crimes, and the
,-esources it has to cope with thi
upswing of crime. They shoujd fijid
out what part of the community
the criminals are coming from ajnd
direct their program at that areal
Juvenile delinquency dropped as
much as 74 per cent in some pref
incts in Washington, D. C, whei
the Police Boys clubs, with thelif
aealthful recreational facilities
vere started.
During the war many community
irojects like playgrounds and the
haracter-buildlng agencies suffers
;d. Everybody must once more get
Jehlnd those undertakings in order
0 recapture the youngsters who
night go astray. Parents must del
olop a greater sense of realism
ind responsibility.
One nationwide need is for man
)ower to build up tho police forces,
f is necessary to get the police
iien back on the beat againo he
an re-establish intimate contact
kith the people ho serves. During
he last four years the police,, who
fe the deterrent factor on tht
purglary of houses and similar
rimes, have been assigned, to wari
ime duties. The communities hav
iot been able to give the preva
.tandard of protection.
People haven't been thinking
ibout the crime problem. Hovi
here should be a pooling of corn
nunity resources for detection aiu)
prevention. The only way to cop
fith the current situation ls-t)
atxh the guilty. Certainty of de
ection, apprehension and punish!
iient are the time-proven deter'
ents. When kidnapers found that
t was unsafe to kidnap, kidnaping
or ransom declined. !
Youth has to learn that crirn
loesn t pay. But now they thinly
rime brings quick rewards. , A boy
21 years old out in Wyoming piled
ocks on the railroad track near
1 bridge. If the train had been
lerailed which it wasn't. it
vould have provided good loot
.''our masked raen.wUh tommy guns
i short while ago took a safe con
aining $3,000 out of a railroad,
hed and hurried off in a car. The
wy criminals lack -good r moral
oundation. '
