Fletcher, assistant director of the department of public safety, told the Austin forum of public opinion yesterday that "compared with last January Texas has experienced a 12 per cent increase in major crime." "In its crime experience, at least, Texas has joined the union," said Fletcher in citing the following statistics: "Every day In Texas we have three persons murdered, five killed in traffic accidents, two women raped, 53 homes or shops burglarized, five robber, 33 automo- miles stolen and 150 miscellan eous other thefts which add up to a property loss of $29,000 daily." Fletcher predicted that after this war there will be "a crime wave far bloodier and costlier than any the world has experienced." He attributed this to the impact of war itself, which creates broken homes, declining sense of moral values among the youth, marital Infidelity, general restive- neis, and to our "uncertain economic system" which will increase property crimes and race riots.
