Seward seaport record., 1951-03-09
The C.adGe Rosee.
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

We, the people of the Third Division, were rather severely criticized by Judge George w. Folta and the Grand Jury, in two separate instances this week. The Judge probably spoke out of understandable anger at the district attorney and the way local newspapers handled the case of a juvenile delinquent.
 Criticism by the Grand Jury, however, seems to go much deeper, and should prompt us all to a little serious thinking. It states that in many instances crimes that have been com mitted could have been prevent ed, and that likewise, many crimes committed could be more successfully prosecuted if the citizens would concern them selves more with law enforce ment.
 These criticisms lead us to wonder. Do we really want inn partial law enforcement? Or are we satisfied to enforce the law against certain parties and types of people? Are all communities inclined to be lenient with the families of older residents and prominent perSonageS?
 Although totally in the dark as to the identity of the 16-year old boy sentenced by Judge FOlta, one wonders why repeat ed attempts were made to save him, when other boys have not received the same attention. His extreme youth may be the req son, or it may be something else.
 In the same case, and in case from Seward, people are inclined to minimize the mea- gerness of the Aoffcnse. One was a case of a pocketknife, the other a "measly $200.'
 It may be that in this coun try of exaggerated values, where all living is done on the grand scale, that small thefts, minor infractions, petty crime, should be ignored. How about raising the minimum for grand larceny to-say. 5000. That would save a great deal of expenditure for law enforcement, and increase the population of the Territory overnight,
 Seriously though, in this, the largest judicial district, il is evi dent that something is lacking It may be that the Highway Pa trol must be increased in size, growing communities must in crease their police force, more and more money must be spent on law enforcement. That may be the solution But to my mind, an overlarge police force could soon become the tail that Wags

Before a large audience in EN-
DRY uniVcrsity's Glynn chapel here
last week a debate on the subject
reached fever pitch. getting full
coveragr in the states press, and
transcripts that were played over
radio stations.
The discussion at the ti-mil-
hon dollar private white school
was an event Of annual Law Day.
sponsored by students Of the Law
school and the Student Bar as
ISOLATION.
leading the negative side Of
the question Of admitting Negro
students Ia white schools, was
the notorious Roy V. Harris.
chief strategist Of the TaImadge
forces in the state. His assOCI.
ate was Atlanta attorney Dur
wood Pye.
ChampiOning the cause Of dem.
OCraCy in education was Emory
professor Of Constitutional Law,
DR. Paul f. Bryan, who served on
the committee Of law school pro-
fessors that filed a supporting
brief in the Sweat case. He was
assisted by Or. Jay Murphy. pro-
fessor OF Constitutional Law at
the University Of Alabama
II audience response were an in
dication OF public opinion on the
subject. liberal forces could be
heartened by the fact that APP
plause seemed overwhelmingly on
the side Of indignation. Die-hard
suprcmacists gave Harris and his
colleague rcsounding cheers as
they lambasted the U s Supreme
court members as a bunch Of
monkeys and machine politi-
clans riding the Truman wagon "
but their shouts and heCkles did
not compare TO the genuine out
bursts that encouraged the con-
sttutional lawyers TO speak out
strongly against segregation.
DIR. Bryan stated that, born a
sOutheTneT. he had managed 60
rid himself Of most Of his pre-
Indicea. II thank God I've over
come most OF these PreiUdloes,
he declared, and was greeted
with q chorus Of "Amens".
He said that Georgia's reaction
10 any Supreme Court decisions
would prove whether Georgia Is
q State Of the union or Just a
state. He recalled that four Of the
court justices are sOutherners
and that the Sweat and McLaurin
cases were decided unanimously
He declared that Harris position
was based on prejudice and pre-
iudice only"
The lively debate. although
supposed to be confined To the
legal aspects Of segregated educa-
ton. drfted into hot illusions to
moral. Christian and social as
poets Of segregation.

he could not tell what the bunch
