The nation’s crime rate during 1953 rose six per cent over the 1952 figures, as a re-
sult of 2,159,080 major crimes committed during the year. In the city areas, crime
was up 4.5 per cent above the 1952 level, with increases ranging from 2.6 per cent for
rape to 8.3 per cent for robbery. The only decrease noted was in murder, which
dropped 2.2 per cent. Rural crime in 1953 jumped 9.6 per cent above the 1952 totals.
The increases ranged from 0.4 per cent for murders to 16.5 per cent for burglaries.

Negligent manslaughter, down 5.5 per cent, was the only rural decrease. Juvenile de-
linquency was on the upswing during 1953, with arrests of kids under 18 up 7.9 per cent
Significant figures on arrests of youngsters are shown on Newschart below. Of the to-
tal 20,391 arrests for auto theft, over half were kids under 18, as were almost 50 per
cent of 38,879 persons arrested for burglary.

tion in such thefts, not to men-
tion the widespread graft and cor-
ruption. But, in polished political
platitudes, they all deny that any
such incidents have come to their
attention and still gone unpunished.
Men in the second echelon are
more realistic. One told me:
"We know there's going to be
collusion, graft and stealing. All
we can hope is that it's not
enough to wreck us."
Another said that the UN and
the United States face a situation
not unlike that which plagued us
in Nationalist China in 1945. The
top government leaders were hon-
est, but lower officials sold out for
personal gain. The people were
fed up.
"Here in Korea," this official
said, "if we permit all this money
to accrue to the benefit of the few
in control and to not make a real
impression on the people, we will
simply be swinging the door open
for the Communists to take over
from within.”
- Reconstruction officials have
learned that goods brought to Ko-
rea for auction sale were sold at
rigged meetings to influential bus-
inessmen. who bought cheaply and
resold at vast personal profit.
There is fear that as recon-
struction materials stream into the
country they are going into pools
which will create monopolies and
build huge fortunes for a select
few, while prices skyrocket for the
average buyer
in Taegu, U. S. military authori-
ties point to lumber yards stock-
ed with reconstruction goods. The
yards are run by ROK army of-
ficers to eke out their low pay.
If an officer is politically “sound.”
no inquiries are made about pos-
sible outside income This has been
known to include proceeds
from the sale of equipment, trucks,
clothing, food, anything at all
that is available.
The Korean civil assistance agen-
cy is trying to train Korean work-
ers in relief administration and
is supporting hospitals, orphanag-
es, and other institutions where
inmates would starve or freeze
without help. Some of these outfits
stay in business only because their
private owners make "under the
counter deals’ with local city
halls. \
Orphanages are the biggest re-
cipients of this aid. Not all the
inmates are actual orphans. About
30 per cent of the youngsters are
farmed out to the institutions by
49 Injured
In Chicago
Train Crash
CHICAGO, April X in—Forty-
nine persons were injured early
Sunday when a slow rolling subur-
ban train rammed into the rear
of another commuter train which
was pulling away from a down-
town station platform.
Most of the injured were treated
and released from three Chicago
hospitals. Seven were hospitalized
several hours after the accident
but attendants sa d none was in
serious condition. Some 400 pas-
sengers on both trains were shak-
en up.
Motorman R.W. Marshall, 56, of
Chicago, said the brakes of his
six-car Illinois Central Railroad
electric train failed as he was ap-
proaching the platform from which
a two-car electric South Shore
Lines train was pulling away.
The incoming train hammered
the rear of the shorter train send-
ing it rolling 150 feet down the
track. Both were bound out of the
city.
The engineer of the South Shore
train, Harold Weber, 47, of Michi-
gan, City, Ind., said the jolt caused
him to blackout momentarily, but
added be recovered in time to
bring the train to a halt.
Spokane Will Go

SPOKANE, Wash. in — Spokane

fort today in "Operation Walk-
out.”
It is the nation's first test exer-
cise to involve evacuation of a
their families, who live nearby, metropolitan area and observers
The children get food and care, i
and the politicians get money to
match the swollen orphanage rolls.
Orphanage operation thus has
become a major racket, a big bus-
iness, with so many "sucker for-
eigners" willing to supply the cash
to run them. U. S. files show prov-
en cases of ROK legislative as-
semblymen owning such institu-
tions for extra income.
Gangs of Korean kids wander-
ing the city streets show the same
contempt for the over-generous for-
eigner. They pander, they pick GI
pockets, they "con” servicemen
out of their valuables, and help
Korean adults in black marketing
and other racketeering chores.
The average Korean accepts the
welfare dole delightedly, showing
no disposition to get on his own
feet so long as free support is furn-
ished. At the same time, the man
in the street is frankly dubious
about the more distant benefits of
reconstruction. Scanning stories
about the contention between ROK
and UN officials, he asks: "What's
UNKRA done yet?"
are here from all parts of the
country.
The assumption is that an atom-
ic bomb, twice as powerful as the
one that hit Hiroshima, is headed
this way. At 9:35 a.m. a siren
downtown gives the "red alert."
Some 20,000 persons are expect-
ed to walk out on that signal.
Everyone has been asked to leave
a 50-square-block area in the cen-
ter of this city of 175.000
The evacuees, who aren't re-
quired to take part, will gather
outside the target area and wait.
The farthest anyone will have to
walk is five blocks
At 10 a.m., the “bomb" is
dropped. The exercise ends with
the “all clear" at 10:05.
Bombers, Jet planes, antiaircraft
gunners on downtown rooftops,
tanks and troops will add realism.
All traffic will be stopped Stores
and banks will be closed.
Pope Plus Blesses
Rome Choir Boys
VATICAN CITY. April 26 m -
Pope Pius appeared Sunday at his
apartment window to bless 4.200
choir boys assembled in Rome for
the Fifth Congress of the Interna
tional Federation of Little Singers
The pope, appearing for the
fifth time since his recent illness,
stood for several minutes while the
choir in St Peter's Square below
sang a hymn and a crowd of more
than 100.000 cheered.
The boys, representing some 120
choirs from European countries.
North America and North Africa,
continued singing after the Pope's
window closed. A few minutes la-
ter. the Pontiff reappeared and,
smiling broadly, imparted his be-
bediction a second time.

Supermarkets Read
For Gadget Future
By JAMES FLOWERS
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK — (NEA) — Don’t
be surprised to find a carousel and
a machine spouting ready-to-eat hot
dogs in 20 seconds the next time
you go shopping in your favorite
supermarket.
For supermarket people are pois-
ed to set off a “second retail revo-
lution” with vending machines,
electronic devices and revolving
counters in an effort to boost sales.
These people sparked the first rev-
olution with decentralization and
self-service of food.
They already have some revo-
lutionary new techniques in ac-
tion. In Pittsburgh, for instance,
one food super has installed an
automatic vendor in the store win-
dow that dispenses doughnuts. It
accounts for 25 per cent of the
store’s total doughnut sales, and
20 per cent of these sales come
after the store is closed.
Chances are you've had the gro-
cery store door slammed in your
face at closing time on more than
one occasion. Well, the supermar-
kets of the future plan to solve
this problem by installing batter-
ies of machines in the windows
that will sell when the store is
closed, as well as when it is open.
Many stores are already selling
cigarettes through window - type
automatic vendors
Some progressive grocery
men are even toying with the idea
of a store in which the merchandise
will simply be available for in-
spection. Here's the way this fu-
turamic food dream unravels:
All items will be numbered and
the shopper will be given a num-
bered card instead of a shopping
basket. When the customer selects
an item, the card will be punched.
The punched card will be deliv-
ered at the check-out point and
run through an electric calculat-
or and automatically checked
Then, the merchandise purchased
as indicated on the punched card
will be ready at the check-out
point, or at a station in the park-
ing lot.
Electronic engineers have recent-
see no serious technical problem
in an “electric eye” installation
that would flash a signal to the
retail stockroom immediately when
the stock of any item on a verti-
cally-piled shelf had dropped be-
low a certain point. This device
should solve the out-of-stock prob-
lem and keep the customer’s blood
pressure at a normal level.
Unique, but listen. One super-
market in Maryland features seven
electric turntables for food dis-
plays. Each table holds 1000
pounds of food items. They revolve
at the rate of one revolution per
minute and permit shoppers to
help themselves to whatever foods
are displayed.
Another cute trick that promises
to make shopping a pleasure in the
future is a "conveyor" store, and
equipment manufacturers are al-
ready giving it a whirl.
The shopper sits on a sort of
"carousel” before a revolving con-
veyor which brings her every item
in the store. She simply turns a
key to make her selection. And
presto! Her selected purchases are
ready and totaled for her when
she leaves her seat.
With such a store as this she
shouldn't have any trouble getting
Johnny to "run down to the corner
for a loaf of bread and a few
things."
Even television will get into the
act. One shopping center is plan-
ning closed-circuit television cam-
eras that will allow children to be
seen by their parents from all
stores in the center while the moth-
er is shopping and the child is
playing in a controlled playground
Some food retailers are even
tinkering with the idea of display-
ing merchandise through the same
technique.
They have hopes that before very
long the shopper will be able,
through closed-circuit TV, to “see”
every item in the store from a
seat and, through some automatic
means, record her selections.
Such a television scheme may
also automatically equip a store
with a “private eye." For recently,
in Cleveland, a demonstration was
ly informed the gadget-happy su- i
permarket people that they can TV could spot shoplifters.
