EDMUND G. DROWN ed © DOUGLAS 2553 &. Dis TRICT ATTORNEY ‘OFFICE OF ae DISTRICT ATTORNEY / CITY & COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO 550 MONTGOMERY STREET SAN FRANCISCO 11, CALIFORNIA October 24, 1945 Mr. J. Edgar Hoover Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Hoover: -I have been reading the Uniform Crime Reports, Volume 16. From a careful reading of this report it would indicate that San Francisco has more crime than any other city of comparable size in the United States. I would thank you to advise me whether my conclusion is correct and if so whether your statisticians and criminologists are able to give any reason for it. I assure you that I vould keep any reply that you would make extremely confidential, but I‘am interested in finding out why we have more violations than any other city. If my office is not functioning, I think it is about time that it did, Any help or any thoughts will te appreciated. Very truly yours, " EDMUND GI*BROW =.
