We Need a New Law

present the State of Michigan is relatively help
"A less in the matter of dealing with criminal sex
offenders These perverts sent to prison for limited
terms though legal authorities know they will resume
their criminal practices soon as they get out
Every and then revolving sex murder
awakens public Indignation Police and prosecutors and
judges and court psychatrsts agree that more stringent
laws should be enacted But gradually the public ndgna
ton dies down and nothing is done.
Two Detroit illustrate forcbly the need
for adequate laws to isolate habitual sex criminals
YOUNG man held for trial charges of assault
Il ing girl Belle Isle last winter While free bond
during the interim between arragnment and trial he
arrested second warrant charging similar oense
against another girl Last fall he had been accused of still
another attack but released because the victim shrank
from appearing in court.
He sentenced to to 10 years. The court knew
this sentence inadequate but it was the best could
do under existing law.
Another degenerate described by court psychiatrsts
dangerous to the community and likely to kill child
at time given to 10 years despite the fact that
he had been convicted three times previously for attack
ing little girls.
Both these should be segregated for life. Under
Michigan law they can't be.
We need new law under which persons like they
be.
Why don't the authorities write such law and go
with it to the legislature?

Cards Should Go Down

MICHIGAN Go unions at their meeting in Muskegon
wi went record opposing the Wayne County Home
Rule amendment which will go the state ballot next
fall If enough petitions filed. ~
Delegates based their opposition on the following two
charges:
First, that Corporation spokesman sponsoring the
amendment did consult labor in drafting 1t until
abors aid needed to obtain signatures for petitions
Second that the amendment is dangerous in that it
leaves the way open for adoption of charter that would
permit abolition of free and democratic election of county
officials and institute instead of bureaucratic board
WYE BELIEVE the Go delegates were not fully in
w formed when they drafted the above two counts.
We know that they together with all labor, want to
see Wayne County administered efficiently and honestly
and economically possible
We understand their nssence that in effectng these
needed reforms control of county should not
entirely proper stand.
But this newspaper thinks no such intention is evident
If it were injected between and election time its
revelation undoubtedly would result in defeat of the
amendment.
. FAR concerns the second count in the CIO vote
- of opposition their delegates appear to have
looked highly important factor is that the proposed
Wayne County home rule charter will have to be approved
first by the people During its drafting it will be open to
public scrutiny and public criticism
Unless the voters downright Indifferent to their
welfare there should be opportunity if the
inclination existed sneak undemocratc riders onto the
instrument
The Detroit Times has knowledge about the first
charge that labor not consulted until it looked
though without abors aid sufficient signatures to place
the amendment the ballot would be impossible of
attainment
1t seems incredible that sponsors of the proposed
amendment knowing they were in for an uphill fight,
would be so shortsighted as to ignore labor.
LONG this impression prevails Gas it obviously
"A does in labor circles) there would appear only
open for the sponsors of the home rule
pagn.
They should urge the CIO and the AFL to select
parliamentary experts They should Immediately call in
such experts.
Then they should sit down together and 60 the
proposed amendment from start to finish in detail They
should put all their cards the table And 1t turns out
that any provisions of their proposal discriminatory
the working vulnerable to undemocratc abuse,
they should at revise the provisions.
They need not only the approval but the active CO.
operation of Wayne County working people if they hope
o succeed in their enterprise.

HARRY LUNDEBERG

OSDEbEhG, prominent
~ AF'L West Coast la b o r
leader, testified that in the sum-
mer of 1885, at a dinner in
Bridges home, man whom
Bridges later told Lundeberg
was Sam Darcy, a prominent
Communist. asked Lundeberg to
join the Communist party, say
ing that Bridges was a member.
Bridges said:
"You don't have to be afraid
because nobody has to know
you are a member of the Com
munist party; and added: "You
don't have to be afraid, because
i am one too"
Bridges denied the conversa-
ton; denied that Darcy had ever
been at his house; but admitted
that Lundeberg had dined with
him in 1895. The witness testi-
fled that Bridges wife, his
daughter and his secretary were
at the dinner. Bridges thought
that his wife and secretary had
been there. They were not
called to testify; and the pre-
siding inspector felt, rightly, 1
think, that their absence weak
ened Bridges statement. al
though the board was of the
opinion that no such inference
could be drawn.
Lundeberg was by his own adj
mission a biased witness; but so
for that matter was Bridges.
Lundeberg had previously told
federal agents that he had no
information that Bridges was a
Communist. But Judge Sears
thought this was natural re.
luctance TO testify" and be-
lieved the evidence. As / have
said, it is solely a matter of
credibility. Judge Sears was the
trial judge" and its seems to
me not inappropriate to accept
his reaction to the witness.
The review board analyses
Lundeberg's testimony at great
length and rejects ii for several
reasons. Lundeberg had on
three previous occasions told
government agents that he had
no information that Bridges was
a Com munist. When SUBJ
penaed in this case he told the
story to counsel for the immi-
grafton service the night before
he was called.
But any one who Is familiar
with witnesses and their reluc-
lance to testify, as referred TO
by Judge Sears, knows that such
a contradiction frequently &C.
ours. Judge Sears was inn
pressed with the natural, rug
ged, hard-bitten fashion" with
which Lundeberg testified. The
review board thought that since
Bridges testimony on other
matters showed no indication
that self-interest operated he
should he believed in this ques-
ton. But because man tells
the truth in one instance hardly
indicates that he is not lying
in another. And Judge Sears
