Houston Talks
fo Kiwanians
Carl Sherman, head of the
Houston FBI office, was the
guest speaker at the regular
Tuesday Kiwanian luncheon:
* j -
Sherman, in summing up his talk
said that law enforcement has
become a profession of profession
als in order to combat the profes
sional criminal. He stressed the
neetb of the help of' citizens in
combating crime.
To illustrate the need of citizen’s
help he cited the case of “Pretty-
boy Floyd” ,who was turned in and
killed by his former neighbors in
Oklahoma.
Last year there was an increase
of 765,000 fingerprints, in the cen-
teral fingerprinting bureau, Sher
man said, and all of these were for
the more serious crimes and did
not include rural arrests.
This year the FBI estimates that
there will be one arrest serious
enough to warrant fingerprinting
out of; every fifteen people.
Bank robberies were at a low in
1940 but have increased four or
five times in the last year or so,
Sherman said.

the office of Information and Pub
lication’s. was introduced as a now
