To the Editor, Madison Press

To the Editor, Madison Press
/ would like to make few COM
ments about your recent editorial
concerning the bills presently in
the Legislature, providing for the
transfer of the Ohio State Bureau
of Criminal Identification and In
vestigation from the Division of
Correction to the office of the At
torney General.
Regarding your first question,
why take the Bureau out of Lon
don p, the present bills are the
first sound and logical steps ever
proposed to cure the ills that have
be-set the BCI & /. The BCI & /
can more accurately be described
as a police agency rather than a
penal agency, thus it would fit in
perfectly with the Attorney Cen
eral, who also has investigative
and enforcement powers. The bu-
reau has long been the step-child
of the Div. of Correction, and an
unwanted step-child, if the budget
ary limitations are used as a yard
stick. Can you, Mr.. Editor, be
proud of the fact that the Bureau
Law Enforcement Bulletin has Of
ten not been mailed out on time
because of paper shortage or lack
of the approx. S1700 for postage.
/ am not proud of this, nor do
believe you are, yet you raise the
question about augmenting the
convict personnel with civilian help
which you say could have been
done at any time.
In regards to the convict prob
lem, there are still 60 convicts as
signed to work in the bureau on
the criminal records and files. I
will have to disagree with you and
say that the convicts are working
on the bulk of the daily work, such
as the 5000 (monthly average)
finger print cards, numerous want
ed notices, crime reports, stolen
property reports, and police infor-
nation. BY the very nature of their
work, they have access to all of
the master criminal files.
Two years ago, at a meeting in
the Madison County Courthouse, a
previous bill to move the bureau
was discussed. When the argument
for moving the Bureau away from
the London Prison Farm was pre-
sented by four bureau employees,
CTWo living in Columbus and the
other two living in London.), no
one present disagreed with the
thought that the bureau should not
stay in the London Prison Farm
any longer. Yet, after the bill was
defeated, no progressive action
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1957-03-01

was taken JnaL would ala the Bu-
reau to become more efficient or
effective. The matter was simply
dropped and left as it had been for
many years.
Sooner or later the Bureau is
going to, and has to, move away
from the London Prison Farm.
That is inevitable, as progress and
lack of space and facilities demand
it. The only question to be answer
ed is WHEN and WHERE, and I
think, as do the majority of the
Bureau personnel. that the bills
before the Legislature have the
when and where, in their contents.
The very efficient California
BCI & / is now under the Calf.
Dept of Justice The equally mod
ern Texas BCI & / is in their
Dept of Safety. The location of
these two modern bureaus in their
respective State Capito1s, where
their massive criminal files and
laboratories are at the quick dis
posal Of all state and local agen-
cies, are a very good criterion by
which the merits of the bills before
the legislature can be judged.
Regarding that portion of the
editorial, concerning the bureau
employees living in London, 1
would like to point out that the
writer is a resident and property
owner in London. Yet l cannot,
with honesty or clear conscience
oppose a move that would be for
better, more efficient Bureau,
even if / too would have to drive
further to work You imply that
the bills were introduced to ac-
commodate Certain persons in
high places within the Bureau" to
move the Bureau nearer their
homes. Now l cannot imagine the
Honorable Senator Fess, serving
his 9th term, going to all this trou-
bic of attempting to move the bu-
reau for just a few persons. Then
you turn around and advance the
same thought, by saving that the
Bureau should be left in London
because some of the employees
have lived in this locality for SO
many years.
Inasmuch as nothing construc-
tive has been forwarded on the To-
cal level to aid the bureau, it
seems rather late to propose a
building in the vicinity, even
though that would have been bet
ter than remaining in the base
ment of the London Prison Farm.
Many people in London know
very little about the BCI, thinking
it to be a part of the London Pris-
on Farm. They have no idea as to
the type of work being done at the
Bureau, or to it's scope in the Ohio
law enforcement picture. The pres
ent bills before the legislature at
tempt to modernize the bureau,
placing it in a position where it
can keep apace of the demand for
more scientific police investiga-
tons, to keep up with an ever-in-
creasing work load from city and
county governments. Anyone who
will view this problem with an un-
selfish eye. and plan for the future
will see that such legislation has
been long overdue.
A modern bureau would mean
better jobs for all employees, in
crease the stature and prestige of
the Bureau, making it an organi-
Zation which would give cause for
pride among the employees as well
as the entire state.

EDITORS Note: MIR. MoInar is
laboratory technician assign
ed to the Technical Labora-
tory of the Bureau of Criminal
Identification & investigation.
He lives in London and has
been here for five years.
The civilian employees at
the bureau now number SO and
plans are under way to aug
ment this number by an addi-
tionaI 25 employees.
The editors do agree and
have agreed that the legisla-
tion to improve the bureaus
standards is perhaps necessary
but we do not agree that such
improvement can be brought
about simply by moving the
bureau. Mr.. Molnar suggests
that we are opposed to the
legislation. We are not. We
merely believe that with pro-
per legislative assistance the
bureau can operate as we'll in
this area as elsewhere and
at considerably less public ex-
pense over the long run.
1t may be mentioned here
that an attempt was made to
move the bureau to Columbus
several years ago. At that
time, however, the idea was
defeated. The present convict
force working in the bureau
numbers 60. Should the bur-
eau's civilian staff be increas-
ed to 4e it appears that they
will do the work which now
requires 93.)
