The only cases to which many
prosecutors give personal atten-
ton are publicity cases that will
get their names in the newspa-
pers. They often start a cam
paign against bookies, narcotics,
ETC., but usually their participa-
ton in the case is limited to
appearing in court on opening
day to have their photos taken
for the papers. After that their
assistants take over.
When the prosecutor comes to
court to try his case he is often
poorly prepared; he knows little
of the cases details and his only
information consists of scrubbed
notes of testimony before the
grand jury. It's no wonder that
smart, well-prepared defense
lawyers beat him so often.
Felix's Case
ON THE infrequent occasions
when an able prosecutor does
get into Office, his accomplish
ments, by contrast, are start
ling. A young man named Joseph
w. Folk, whom the bosses con-
sidered safe, was elected pros
ecuting attorney of St. Louis.
Soon after his election, he de-
cided to investigate newspaper
charges that members of the
municipal assembly were selling
railway franchises.
Folk convened a grand jury
and summoned a long list of
assemblymen, railway officers,
bankers and bookkeepers. 1t was
expected that the grand jury
would hand up the usual vague
report. But Folk had a plan.
He called in the president of a
railway company and the legis-
lative agent who negotiated the
deal with the municipal assem-
bly, members.
He told them he knew the
whole story and gave them
their choice of being wit
nesses or defendants at the
trial. Believing that someone
had squealed, they broke down.

sordid story.

quently the mayoralty.
However, a good D.A. should
be an executive of high order, a
student of criminology who
; knows when to prosecute and
how, who understands preven-
tive criminology and the intri-
cate techniques of criminal in
vestigation, and who is aware of
the social problems connected
with crime. When you consider
that, IN the course of a single
year, $50, 600 criminal cases, ac-
cording to the DeLong- Baker
report, pass through the CMcagO
D.A.'s Office, you can see why a
man of such caliber is needed.
Little 1aAezess
Bur, actually, most prosecutors
have no understanding of or in
terest in the causes of crime in
their community, the use of the
probation or parole system and
the subject of penology gener-
ally. They are often lawyers who
have never previously tried a
criminal case. Few D.A.'s are
known to subscribe to the crimi-
nology journals or to support in
stitutes devoted to the study of
crime and punishment. The Or
binary D.A. spends too much of
his time at political lunches, ban
quets and public gatherings.

SEATTLE, (P) - It. Gen. Will liam E. Kepner, commander of US. Air Force units in Alaska, told a Fourth of July audience here Friday that the northern ter ritory's first need was an ade- quate air raid warning system.

EGG OkS License Renewal For Anchorage Radio

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Fed eral Communications Commission has voted a regular license re- newal for an Alaskan radio sta- ton after a brief discussion of reported liquor advertising over the outlet.
 The station is KFQD, at An chorage. A statement by EGG, reporting renewal of license, said that Chairman Paul A. Walker had taken the position that the matter should be made the sub- ject of public hearing because of the stations advertising of hard iquor," as indicated by its program logs.
 Commission officials noted that there is no federal law or regula- ton prohibiting hard liquor ad- vertising on the air, but said that broadcasting outlets in the con- tinental United States do not handle such advertising as mat ter of policy.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Tex. (P) - A stubborn, pug-faced stuntman bucked buffeting winds for all most 24 hours to set a new mara thon parachute jumping record.
 Neal Stewart, 27. Birmingham, Ala, toppled from a small plane 124 times Friday in g hours, 35 minutes. The old record was 123 jumps in a 24-hour period by John w.. Swedish of Iowa.
 Stewart jumped at low alti- tude into a '100-sq.-yd. plowed field. As soon as he landed he would slip into another parachute and a jeep would take him to another plane waiting to take him up for another jump. Eight triggers repacked his chutes.

what Controller j. Millard TaweS
calls an intense campaign"
against delinquents.
Ignoring Tax Is Expensive.
Some who thought they could
ignore the State income tax have
discovered otherwise the hard
way. The State charges 10 per
cent of the bill and 6 per cert
annual interest on late taxes. And,
although the controller is not
eager to prosecute, failure to pay
carries a criminal penalty of six
months in prison and a fine up
to $500.
The controller probably knows
how much you made last year. He
gets information returns from
slips made out for the Federal tax.
Many corporations notify the
State of dividends they have paid.
State tax sleuths also have ac-
cess to Federal Government files.
Your Federal return, incident
ally, is a handy guide in filling
out your State return. In the main,
the gross income you should report
is the same for both.
Exceptions in State Law.
Here are some of the exceptions
