POLICE MUSS UP SUSPECTS WHILE
LAW REMAINS LAX

How far is a policeman entitled to 60
when he bumps into a man known to be a
desperate, but whom the courts can never
seem to touch?
Police Commissioner Valentine of New
York has the idea that the cop can 90 just
about as far as he likes. He complains
that his police lave been too polite to
racketeers, gunner, and such like, and he
wants to see these gentlemen mussed up
a little.
The COMMISSIONS expressed himself in
this vein after watching a man named Har-
nv Strauss brought into a police lineup at
headquarters.
Strauss has been arrested Is times in
the last seven years, on charges ranging
all the way from homicide to possessing
narcotics. He has never been convicted
of anything, however, and when he was
pinched he gave his occupation as a house
painter.
He came in dressed like a fashion-plate,
and it was his sartorial magnificence that
eXasperated the commissioner.
''This man is a paid assassin" said the
commissioner. "Men like him should be
marked up and mussed up. Blood should
be smeared all over that velvet collar.
Instead, he looks as if he had just got out
Of a BARRIERS chair"
Very few persons will quarrel with this
idea. in itself. Unfortunately, when the
police set out to muss people up, they
aren't usually very discriminating.
Pretty soon it is the minor offender who
gets mussed up; then, after a while. some
totally innocent bystander is arrested by
mistake and gets rather frightfully muss-
cd up before he can convince the cops that
it's all a mistake.
For that reason, telling any police de-
partment to be brutal is a mistake. The
brutality is certain to hit the wrong parties.
sooner or later.
Nevertheless, we haven't answered the
commissioner when we say his idea is dan
gerous. We must find some way of taking
care Of these outlaws who can be arrested
Is times and yet remain free to follow
their own devices.
Something pretty shocking must be
wrong with our criminal law and our
method of administering it when a man
can be accused three times of homicide.
six times of carrying a gun, and nine times
of felonies ranging from grand larceny to
assault, without even so much as standing
trial before a jury.

After breakfast Peter proposed
going out on the lake again. He
had a motorboat and an aquaplane.
Had she ever tried aquaplaning?
No. Well then. he would teach

There were several spills. Then
Peter would turn the boat around
and the lesson would begin again.
Ann was thrilled, unafraid. Peter

proficiency. She was getting the

All right then. He speeded the
boat up. II shot across the water
like a brilliant orange streak.
And then. looking back. he saw
