Police Troininq Vital

Police Chief Murray is right in hold
ing that thorough training of policemen
in the responsibilities and techniques of
law enforcement is an indispensable
phase of police administration. 1t is
regrettable that shortage of manpower
has hampered the Police Departments
training program. Fortunately, efforts
to recruit new members of the force
are beginning to close the gap between
actual strength and authorized strength.
The prospects appear to be good, there
fore, for re-establishment in the near
future of the long abandoned local po-
lice academy
While the academy was diScon-
tinued even before Chief Murray took
office, it would be erroneous to assume
that training of new policemen has been
neglected in the meantime. On the con-
trary, the recruit training division has
been as active as ever. However, the
regular in-Service training program for
experienced officers has suffered as a
result of the demise of the academy.
In lieu Of the regular in-service
courses, the department has sponsored
number of special schools and lectures
for veterans of the force, covering such
specialized fields as traffic, juvenile de-
linquency, etc. Also, individual officers
have been encouraged to take advantage
OF scholarships offered by various uni
verSities. More recently, with the CO.
operation of United States Attorney
GaSch, the police have been given
briefingS on new developments in law
enforcement, including the effects of the
Mallory and other court decisions. Staff
conferences are held each Monday with
Mr.. GaSch or other authorities on the
law. Judges have offered their assistance.
All of these training aids are help
full in keeping policemen abreast of
legal decisions and investigative tech
niques. The ideal plan, however, is to
center the educational efforts in an
academy of the sort recommended by
the FB1 and functioning in many other
police departments Since it is impos-
sible for the FBI to accommodate all
who would like to attend the bureaus
national academy, graduates of the ma
tional school are urged to organize
training schools in their own depart
mentS along the general lines of the
national academy. We hope the recruit
ing situation in Washington will i'm
prove sufficiently to permit Chief
Murray to re-establish the local acad-
emy, with full staff of competent in
structoks, as recommended recently by
the judicial conference.

Lutin Lesson

The Vice Presidents Latin American
tour is beginning to look something like
O good will mission. Generally friendly
crowds awaited him in Ecuador and
Colombia-in notable contrast TO the
.rock-throwing mob in Lima, Peru.
v-T Still, there remains the question as
to what Interpretation should be put on
the hostility, in greater or lesser degree,
which Mr.. Nixon has encountered wher-
ever he has gone. There is no reason
to doubt that much of the trouble has
been fomented by the Communists. But
this can hardly be the whole explana-
ton. For the Communists could not
have stirred up so much trouble unless
they had a smoldering anti-American
sentiment to play upon. Thus, we must
consider the reasons for this anti
AmericaniSm and also what should be
done about it.
s.s The final decision will have to await
Mr.. Nixon'S return and his own report.
Meanwhile, there are two extremes to
be avoided. Senator Cooper says the
demonstrations against Mr.. Nixon point
up the imperative necessity of passing
the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act
without all the proposed restrictions.
But Senator Aiken thinks that Congress,
reSenting the affrontS to the Vice PreSi-
dent, may impose even more severe re-
strictionS.
We doubt the wisdom of either of
these approaches. Our Latin American
neighborS have serious economic prob
lens. For the most part, however, these
problems are of their making, not ours.
And any reShaping of American eco
nomic policy can have at best limited
influence on Latin American difficulties.
If the United States has not given Suff1-
cient thought and attention to our rela-
tionS with Latin America, this can and
should be corrected. But we cannot
buy" the good will of our southern
neighborS with trade policies over
weighted in their favor, and we GER
tainly should not attempt to use trade
as an instrument of punishment because
we resent the treatment accorded Mr..
Nixon. The lesson to be learned from
Mr.. Nixon'S journey is that our relations
with the Latin American countries re-
quire a new LOOKOUT new look that
is not colored by our own emotional
reaction to public demonstrations,
friendly or otherwise. The controlling
factor should be a careful reappraiSal
Of all the facts.

School Shortcomings

When deficiencies of the
public schools are proclaimed
by some teacher, the school
administrators are likely to
retort that their critic is out
of step with education" and
then penalize him if they can.
If a parent speaks up and
says the schools are not doing
a good job, the public may
sometimes think that there is
a problem child involved.
But when we are told by
college students that the high
schools which graduated them
wasted their time = time
which could have been more

Roy of Hope?

Although It is true, as the saying
goes, that one swallow doesn't make a
summer, Premier Khrushchev's latest
letter TO President Eisenhower encour-
ages the hope that the Kremlin con-
ceivably may be willing TO take at least
a small ilrst step toward an adequately
policed system of disarmament. The
letter, In any case, is temperately worded
and conciliatory In tone even on those
matters-such as the recent Soviet veto
Of the Arctic inspection proposal-that
generate the most distrust between East
and West.
More specifically II words may be
taken at face value, the promising thing
about Mr.. Khrushchev's new message is
that 1t appreciably modifies the Krem-
Inns past opposition to the Presidents
request for expert technical studies on
ways and means of policing an agree
ment banning nuclear tests. Heretofore
Moscow has pooh-poohed the need for
such studies, accused the West of bad
faith in proposing them and insisted
that Britain and the United States pro-
ceed without them and join the USSR
in mere paper declaration proclaiming
an immediate end to all experimental
atomic-hydroge detonations But now,
though in somewhat grudging language,
the Soviet Premier has declared that he
and his government, "in spite of our
serious doubts" are prepared TO "try
out" Mr.. EiSenhowerS study idea-"with
the proviso that work should be COM
pleted in the shortest term agreed upon
beforehand"
This proviso may prove to have
catch in it, of course, and certain Of Mr..
Khrushchevs other points-notably his
distorted version of the Arctic inspection
plan and our Governments overall
position on disarmament-are less than
encouraging. Even so, the fact remains
that he has made a concession of sorts
regarding preparatory studies for po-
Iced ban on nuclear testing. To that
extent, as the White House has declared
in its initial reaction, his letter seems to
recognize the validity of what our own
country and the overwhelming majority
Va OAAO S4AOSN 4Nob4OllO AAdNC 1OIlR UCCh
saying-namely, that thoroughgoing
prior examination of the technical prob
lens of supervision is indispensable to
trustworthy, safeguarded system of arms
control, and that such an examination
might do much to promote progress
toward far-reaching general agree
ment in this field.
Needless to say, since it is limited to
studies having to do solely with test
ing ban, Mr.. KhruShchev's concession
amounts only to a very small thing in
relation to the huge and enormously
complex problem of actual disarmament.
But it is move in the right direction,
and it is therefore welcome as a little
ray of hope in the encompassing gloom
of an unprecedented arms race that
grows ever more perilous for the whole
of humanity-a ray of hope suggesting
that maybe the Kremlin will begin, at
long last, to cooperate in making a de-
cent and safe peace possible.
