The Rotary One Club of Chicago is the original and the founder Club of Rotary. We have a membership of approximately 800 members. We meet each Tuesday at 12 noon at the Radisson Hotel on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. We feel the Rotary would be an excellent platform for the Director of CIA to speak out, and I know you would be genuinely received. Judge William H. Webster, Director of the FBI, addressed our group on September 12, 1978. I am enclosing the Gyrator containing this information. As to choice of date, we would leave the selection to you for the Tuesday of your choice. We would also ask that you please send us a short biography for your introduction, both in our publication, The Gyrator, and for the luncheon introduction. We eagerly await your response. AJR: s Enc.

WEBSTER On February 23, 1978, ROTARY/One's 73rd anniversary, Judge William H. Webster of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit resigned from the bench to become Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In his new position Mr. Webster takes over the leadership of our country's number one law enforcement agency. Mr. Webster was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree from Amherst College in 1947, where, in 1975, he received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. He received his Juris Doctor degree from Washington University Law School in his home town of St. Louis in 1949. A practicing attorney with a St. Louis law firm from 1949 to 1959, Mr. Webster served as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri from 1960 to 1961. He returned to private practice in 1961 and from 1964 to 1969 was a member of the Missouri Board of Law Examiners. In 1972 Mr. Webster received the Washington University Alumni Citation for contributions to the field of law and, in 1977 he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Washington University Law School. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of Washington University and holds honorary degrees from DePauw University and William Woods College. "WHITE-COLLAR CRIME" "White-Collar Crime" was James E. O'Grady's subject at the August 29 meeting of Chicago Rotarians. Superintendant O'Grady is the chief law enforcement officer in Chicago.

The money stolen in white-collar crimes is absolutely staggering. More money is stolen in white-collar crimes than in all our burglaries, robberies and thefts. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates that white-collar crime costs the country over 40 billion dollars a year, and this is considered a conservative estimate. They estimate that one-third of the business closings each year are caused by employee dishonesty. Simply stated, white-collar criminals are thieves, and they should not be looked upon as legitimate businessmen indulging in questionable business practices. It's important to define what the term means. White-collar criminals are not defined by their economic or social position, but by their method-- deception and fraud, instead of physical force. Crime in America is democratic: Criminals come from every social class, from every race, sex and religion. White-collar criminals can be found at all levels of a company--from a stockboy to the president. But the higher up the corporate ladder they go, the more dangerous they become. No force or threat of force is used. A white- collar criminial doesn't have to use a gun or crack a safe; he has the keys, he knows the combination. In fact, he can do all his work--manipulating purchase orders, computer programs, bids--right from his desk. The most basic obstacle facing law enforcement officers is a matter of perception. The public does not take white-collar crime seriously; people do not think of it as crime. Many of us are secretly sympathetic when we hear of a (Continued on page 4, col. I) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

What everybody fails to see is ,that white-collar crime is perhaps more serious, more lasting than street crime. A robber with a gun may steal an elderly woman's purse, a few valuables and a little cash. The woman will recover, and go on. But the white-collar criminal, using a deceptive land promotion scheme may steal her life savings. We have more to lose than our money and our neighborhoods. White-collar crime destroys public confidence in our free enterprise institutions. What really hinders our attempts to make a stand against white-collar crime is a lack of cooperation from the business community. The fact is, companies are very reluctant to bring white-collar crimes to the attention of law enforcement agencies.

While we encourage you to bring these crimes to our attention, we must also improve our operations to ensure that crimes get the specialized attention they deserve. Within the Department we have officers with a wide range of special training--in law, business administration, accounting, insurance and real estate. One proposal under consideration is the formation of a White-Collar Crime Unit, a group of officers specially trained to tackle crime in the business community.

Right now a member of ROTARY Bill Getzo0 One can further this purpose by acting as a host family for visiting Brazilian high school student, Ericson Fensterseifer. Dale and Laurel Krumm can testify to the rich emotional rewards that come from participating in the Youth Exchange Program. The Krumms hosted Myako and Mieko Arizawa, two Japanese sisters from Kobe, when Dale was a member of the Cincinnati club. Both girls spoke little English when they arrived but language presented no serious obstacle to communication. In fact. two hours after they came to the Krumm home the ice was broken and both families began chatting freely in short three word sentences which were half Japanese and half English. Any frustration created by the language difficulty was quickly melted by the unlimited enthusiasm of the two sisters.

The two sisters were brought up according to traditional Japanese customs. But their upbringing did not take into account the personalities of two of the Krumm teenagers. Within 12 hours both sisters were Americanized, taking on new customs which would not be opposed by their Japanese father. If the Krumms were lucky to host the Arizawa girls, the sisters were just as fortunate. No where else could they find a more tolerant host father than Dale. Every time they needed information on the American way, Dale or another member of the family was ready to explain in detail. Dale's reaction, remembering the experience several years after the event, was to break out Ericson Fensterseifer, the 18 year old' Exchange Student in need of a home, comes from a city in South-Eastern Brazil near the border with Uruguay. The region is known for the tobacco it produces. In fact, Ericson's father, an attorney, is the head of the administrative division for a large tobacco company. Ericson's interests center primarily on meeting and talking to new people. He currently plans a career in the electronics field and plays a mean game of frisbee which he learned last year from a New York Exchange student who stayed at his home. He also speaks English well. Anyone interested in hosting Ericson for 3 months, 6 months or the school year should contact either the Rotary office or Byron Getzoff, chairman of the International Service Committee. ^ MEMBERS IN THE NEWS ?

Michigan 'Chicago, 60604 Approved For Release 2007/03/15: CIA-RDP83M00914R002700200059-1 FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK Certainly every Rotarian has learned something of the joy of doing favors, otherwise he would not be a Rotarian. The passing years teach us that wise giving and sensible service are not as easy as we once thought. Perhaps that is one reason that we end up by doing much less for others than we really mean to. I am therefore now suggesting a gift which should be easy for most of us and should bring continuing happiness to both the giver and recipient. I suggest that each member of ROTARY/One who can attend our September 12 luncheon meeting look through your address book now and make a list of the names of your friends who would be good Rotarians, then check their classification situation, and if they appear eligible for membership, invite them ? to be your guests Tuesday, September 12 to hear William Webster, new head of the F.B.I. Your frankness in telling your guest(s) that you would like to sponsor their membership in our club will be a genuine compliment. We should not be bashful about the well-supported tradition that Rotarians are leaders in their respective fields of endeavor, and that our club is the original service club in the world and one of the largest and most active. Some gifts are merely the writing of a check to pay for something which quickly outlives its usefulness and is forgotten, but introduction to Rotary is an expression of friendship which grows richer and more rewarding with the passing years.

Youth Activities Week seeks to promote international understanding, goodwill and peace through the association with young people. This year Rotary clubs worldwide will sponsor the exchange of more than 5,000 high school age students among their countries and cooperate in projects to provide aid to scores of other students and student programs. Rotary has an outstanding record of service to youth. Yet we can never become complacent. We must always question ourselves and ask: "How well do our activities for youth serve the needs of-today's young people? In an era of constant change, how can we remain abreast of the needs and problems of youth in a world whose countries vary from the very rich to the very poor?" Therefore, during this Youth Activities Week of 1978, let us face the challenge. Let us continue the fine youth programs we have developed, but let us determine present and future needs and strive all the harder to find solutions for them. Let us call upon the young people themselves to help determine the road ahead. In a word, COMPUTER System design Management System audit Programming Martin J.
