Curbs Lost

One factor complicating the
plight of motorists was the dis
appearance of curbs under the
piles of snow just about dark.
Hundreds Of motorists gave it
UP as a bad job. left their cars
where they thought the curbs
were and went home by other
means.

Ghost City

Downtown Washington was
like a ghost city last night.
Buses were running both late
and slow. Late shoppers were
huddled In doorways. An oc-
casional pedestrian slipped and
fell as the snow deepened.
Parking lots were doing a heavy
business last night-an abnor-
may thing on a Washington
Saturday night.
Bars and restaurants were
practically deserted. except by
those resigned to getting home

traditionally reasonable oppor-
tunity for police to interrogate
criminal suspects leaves the
vast majority Of our society in
creasinely helpless against the
criminal minority.
urgent action by our Con-
gress is needed to provide leg
islation to define the limits of
the Mallory decision. protect
ing the basic Constitutional
rights of persons suspected Of
crime without impairment Of
the peace and security Of our
Nation"
Mr.. Peterson, veteran crime
fighter and also q vice president
of the national association.
said:
1.-THE Mallory decision is to-
tally unrealistic. It places un-
due restrictions on reasonable
and necessary law enforcement
activity; it over emphasizes the
so-called rights of persons ac-
cused or suspected Of crime, at
the expense Of the rights Of
law-abiding innocent victims:
it overlooks society's vital stake
in protecting itself from the
depredations of criminals, and
it enormously assumes that 1t
is more important to handcuff
the police than the criminal"
Mr.. Conner, also a vice presi-
dent Of the national group,
said:
Besides affecting Federal
officers in this area, there is
always q possibility that the
Supreme Court may extend the
theory of the Mallory case to
State officials under the due
process clause Of the Four
teenth Amendment. Also. most
States have legal provisions for
prompt preliminary hearings.
Therefore State appellate
courts increasingly may feel
impelled to follow the example
Of the highest court in the land
and adopt the Mallory philos-
ophy."
Rights Of Law-Abiding
Mr.. Corcoran declared that
the Mallory decision hampers
law enforcement almost to the
point Of destruction" and con-
tinued:
Eventually, the courts at all
levels will have to balance the
civil rights Of the accused with
the rights of other individuals
in society. Failure to consider
the rights Of law-abiding indi-
viduals to be free from the
menace Of the criminal, minded
must place the responsibility
for the Nations criminal bur-
den directly on the judiciary.
Police officers who trans
gress the civil rights. Of any
person should be prosecuted
under the law. The judge-made
law, such as the Mallory deci-
sion. whereby such transgres-
sions or alleged transgressions
result in freeing the guilty
many times the admittedly
guilty-are unreasonable. ar
bitrary and completely without
the framework of the Consti-
tuition.
THE Wichita Crime Commits
sion would support any legis-
lation to correct this undesir-
able trend"

$500 Battle
District Snow

A civilian army Of some $500
men battled last night against
the snow, in an effort to keep
traffic moving in the District.
Today, they'll try to haul
snow.
William A. Xanten, District
sanitation superintendent. said
the snow is one Of the heavi-
est Washington has ever ex-
perienced. Personnel from the
ID. c. Transit System and the
Districts Highway, Sewer and
Water Departments were in the
2,500 that worked on the vex-
ing problem.
Mr.. Xanten explained I'VE
put out everything we could
lay our hands on" He said
crews have been sailing and
sanding since noon Saturday,
when it became apparent the
white stuff would fall in large
volume.
Sand, Salt Ineffective
But he said the sand was
being covered up as the snow
fell and the salt was ineffec-
tive because Of the depth Of
the storm. He said he had 100
crews out on sanding and salt
ling and 100 ploughs were out
trying to keep the streets open.
Despite the storm, Mr.. Kan
ten said. people were driv-
ing, and he said the traffic signs
instead Of reading Go slow

Mr.. Xanten pointed out there
was very heavy clogging Of
traffic on certain hills" He
said he stationed men on the
hills to try to help the motor
lists.
Not Districts Worst
Mr.. Xanten made it clear
this was not the worst snow
storm Washington has had.
But the current snowstorm was
bad enough, he declared. He
said it was made worse be-
cause there is now a greater
volume of traffic.
