Breeding Contempt for Law

North Carolina's Governor Cherry is
thoroughly justified in criticizing the
Northampton County grand jury which
failed to indict any one in connection with
an attempted lynching in the county last
May. The Governor is correct in denounc-
ing as miscarriage of justice" the jury's
action in ignoring charges against seven
men, one of whom had made confession.
How can the grand jurors seriously believe
they are serving justice when they free
a defendant who has admitted his COM
plicity with others in storming Jail and
KIDNAPPING colored prisoner with apparent
intent to lynch him?
The fact that the jury also ignored a
charge of attempted assault which had
been brought against the prisoner only
tends to magnify the gravity of the crime
committed by the men who sought, un-
successfully to substitute mob rule for
law. The jurys failure to indict the Negro
leaves the implication that had the lynch
Ing succeeded, an innocent victim would
have been sacrificed to mob violence.
Governor Cherry has stated the facts
succinctly. A serious crime against the
State and its citizens was committed when
the mob broke into the jail and started
away with the colored prisoner, with in
tent to kill or injure" him. That the
Negro escaped from his captors in no wise
mitigates the basic conspiracy. The tg-
noring Of this obvious crime by the grand
jury should not, as Governor Cherry says,
close the case. He plans to reopen 1t by
having judge in an adjoining county re-
commit the case to another grand jury, a
procedure authorized by State law The
charges against the seven men should be
tried In open court-not smothered by a
type of grand jury indifference that can
not help but breed contempt for law and
order

, ViaiIonce Against Crime

Will crime follow its usual postwar trend,
with gang warfare succeeding the inter
national variety? The Federal Bureau OF
Investigation notes certain similarities be-
tween the reign of organized underworld
terrorism which developed after World
War I and the upsurge In crime since the
close of World War II. But conditions are
20 different today that the public may be
spared a repetition of the bloody lawless-
ness that marked the roaring twenties"
and the early thirties. 49,
One major factor that contributed TO
the growth of gangSterism after the First
World War was prohibition with It's oppor-
tunities for big profits for bootleggers and
speakeaSy owners. The Capone, Karpis-
Barker and many other gun welding mobs
f1ourished on the spoils of the Illicit liquor
trade and allied activities. With the demise
of prohibition the gangs turned to bank
robbery, kidnapping and other crimes.
Respect for law-and for law enforcement
reached an all-time low.
Crime rose sharply after the recent war
attaining sixteen-year peak In 1946, when
16a5,00o major crimes were reported to
police There was no prohibition problem
to deal with. but another kind of boot
logging developed during the war and con-
tinued until the end of rationing The
black market operators were small fry
compared to the big-tin bootleg racketeers
of the twenties. The trend In crime in
another respect Is ominous, however AS
was the case more than a quarter of a
century ago, youths who started criminal
careers during the war years seem to have
continued to live outside the law. The
statistics show that whereas the predom-
mating age of persistent offenders was
seventeen during the war years, the aver
age offender last year was approximately
twenty -one FBI officials infer that the
delinquent youth Of the war period has

Is yea there has been no evidence OF any

widespread organization of gangs such as
occurred during the twenties. One of the
reasons, undoubtedly, Is that the public
today demands and gets a much better
brand of law enforcement than in the old
days. Police corruption played large part
in the success Of the notorious bootlegging,
bank-robbing and kidnapping gangs of the
Capone- Dillinger era. Honest and
fearless law enforcement at all levels is an
effective cure for the gang evil The con-
tinuing high curve of crime reports shows
that police and other peace agencies can
not>afford to relax vigilance. Crime would
not need much encouragement to stage a
real comeback, gangland style.

Murihuunu Menace

One of the more ominous aspects Of the
annual report of the Treasury's Narcotics
Bureau is the disclosure of q sharp increase
since the war in the Illicit nlarihuana
traffic. Most Of the seizures of this crime
border, but the resumption of shipping
activities in the past two years has brought
new supplies Of the weed from Europe and
the Middle East.
Marihuana is particularly insidious
drug in that 1t can be peddled in cheap
cigarette form. Numerous seizures have
been made in the past In hangouts near
high schools and colleges and at other
places where young people congregate. The
doped cigarettes sell for as little as
quarter, according to the bureau. The
drug is dangerous intoxicant. Many
violent crimes have been attributed largely
to its temporarily stimulating effects.
During the 1946 fiscal year narcotics and
customs agents seized approximately 13,500
ounces OF the stuff and during the fiscal
year Just ended the seizures mounted to
nearly $4,000 ounces. Much of the smug-
CLING was attempted by automobile or air
plane and some of 1t reached Eastern cities
before being detected and confscated The
substantial increase In seizures indicates
that the narcotics enforcement authorities
have growing problem on their hands
Increased attention must be given overseas
smuggling operations, which had virtually
ceased during the war years. Police de-
partments should take note of the develop
ing marihuana menace and be on the alert
to Illustrate attempts to dispose of the drug
in the vicinity of schools and college cam
puses. And schools would do well to edu-
cate students to the perils of marihuana.
Experience has shown that accepting
dare to take "just one drag" on one of the
drugged cigarettes can lead to tragic
results

The Thurunsky Case

The breakdown administered by the
State Department to the Communist DOM
mated Hungarian government appears to
be not only justified by the circumstances
which impelled 1t but also may serve as
useful precedent in, similar cases likely
to arise
In order to understand the full implica-
tions of our note, 1t should be recalled that
the United States is one of the signatory
powers to the larmistice agreement with
Hungary and Is one OF the members of
the Allied Control Commission which. in
theory at least, exercises supervisory con-
troll over any Hungarian regime that may
be In power This situation will prevail
until the peace treaty comes into full
effect.
OF course, this technical status does not
conform to the realities of the situation
AS matter Of fact, the arnistice agree
ment has been virtually nullified by the
action OF Soviet Russia, which has ar
rogated to itself practical domination over
the Allied Commission and has backed the
local Communists in a seizure of power
from the duly elected government of Hun
gary. The State Department has already
denounced the resulting regime now in
power as illegitimate.
One of the first acts OF this Communist
puppet regime Of Moscow was the passage
of law providing that any one circulating
statements, true or untrue, in any way
critical Of the new Hungarian Republic
and its democratic order" should be sub
ject to heavy penalties. This had already
excited uneasiness among foreign press
correspondents in Hungary But the -ap-
prehension remained academic until the
regime proceeded to invoke the law against
an American citizen.
This individual, Stephen T. Thuransky,
Hungarian-born but naturalized Amer
ican citizen for nearly 20 years, has been
the agent for an American corporation SELL
ing agricultural machinery. In the course
of a social conversation, he seems to have
criticized the present regime. Thereupon,
he was arrested, beaten up by the political
police, and threatened with death. His
plight having been reported to our Lega-
ton, one of the Legation staff went to the
authorities but was 1nsolently treated.
Thereafter followed the dramatic incident
which ended In the staff man rescuing
Thuransky from the police and carrying
him to the Legation for safety. He has
now been flown out of Hungary on a
special visa issued by the Allied Control
Commission, ignoring the Hungarian au-
thorities, who still claim his arrest was
justified and who have refused to make
the apology the State Department de-
mands. This is the conduct our note terms
"inadmissibly insolent," while the arrest of
an American citizen "on purely political
charges" is termed absolutely inadn1is-
sfble"
Those are strong diplomatic terms. The
logical inference is that the State Depart
ment intends to back them up In view of
mistreatment of American citizens in
several countries behind the Iron curtain, ''
Arm policy in all such cases appears
to be timely, If not already overdue

Chlorddne Proves
EHec Against
Mormon Crickets

Spectacular results with
Chlordane in controlling the re-
cent Mormon cricket invasion in
Oregon have attracted national
attention to this new insect
~toxicant, according to a re-
lease from the manufacturers,
Julius Lyman and company,
Denver.
With seed alfalfa and hay
selling at record breaking
prices and other crops cores
pondingly high, the demand
for more effective control
measures for grasshoppers and
other destructive insect pests
has become increasingly strong,
the release said.
In a series of field and lab
oratory tests made by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
last year in South Dakota,
Wyoming, Montana, Arizona
and California, Chlordane was
compared with a number of
other new insect toxicants and
found to give good results.
The report says: THE most
promising material tested was
a chlorinated hydro-carbon
known as Chlordane. In 16
tests in which Chlordane was
applied at the rate of one
pound per acre, the average a.
hour mortality rate was IS per
cent. Chlordane dusts were ap-
piled with the conventional
type power buster, a turbine
blower sprayer buster and by
airplane. The results do not
indicate that any one Of the
three is superior for applying
this insecticide in dust form."
Chlordane is equally effective
when used as a spray. The re-
port comments: "Twelve tests
of Chlordane in emulsion spray
at one pound per acre gave SO
per cent average mortality in
"a hours.
"Chlordane, especially at one
pound per acre, killed so many
graSShopperS within the first
few days that very few were
left to die later" according to
the report.
