Rule of Reason

Your editorial Of April %,
entitled Rule Of Reason"
and dealing with the so-called
Mallory problem, contains
one statement with which I
concur. The Acheson bill
Is not my choice. either.
Our Court Of Appeals had
upheld Mallory's conviction.
The Supreme Court. in re-
versing it, pointed out that
1t already had laid down the
rule that q confession OBJ
tanned during a period Of I'M
lawful detention could not
be used to obtain a convic-
ton. In the earlier case,
McNabb, the Supreme Court
also pointed out that there
Is a constitutional problem
involved. Serious students
Of the problem have strong
doubts that either the Ache
son bill or any other legisla-
ton which does not include
q constitutional amendment
would do other than roll
already muddied waters.
Determined inquiry will
show that McNabb-type con-
LESSONS are involved in only
a minor percentage Of crimes
in the District Of Columbia.
And thoughtful analysis Of
the statistics available prior
to the Mallory decision will
show that for every person
charged with q crime after
inveStigative arrest, there
were 80 others who, after
having been so arrested
and incarcerated for an
appreciable period Of time,
were then released without
charges.
My own impression is that
the McNabb or Mallory (if
you insist problem is highly
overrated as a factor In the
high crime rate in the Dis
trict. I believe that a ra-
tional analysis will show that
1t is the repeater" who caus-
es this shocking number Of
serious offenses and that 1t
is towards ways and means
Of reducing the repetition of
crime that our strongest ef-
forts should be addressed.
Most of our "repeaters"
are hardened criminals by
the time they reach the adult
courts. A thorough review Of
the juvenile problem should
be accomplished, not by well
fare workers, but by unbiased
and objective personnel to
determine II the juvenile code
really is working out for the
benefit Of all concerned,
whether the 16-year mini
mum age for referral to the
adult court for other than
capital crimes is adequate or
should be modified, whether
the increase in juvenile court
personnel can be expected to
cope with the problem ade-
quately. etc.
II we are to take q truly
rational approach toward our
crime problem, we must rec
ognize that q very important
constitutional problem is in
volved in the proposed legis-
lation which your editorial
calls better than nothing"
Is 1t truly better to push
legislation which has every
chance Of being held uncon-
stitutional? Or would 1t not
be more appropriate to look
for the more fundamental
and underlying causes OF our
high crime incidence? And

Tax Cut Brigade

Treasury Secretary Dillon Is the
latest knight in shining armor to charge
up the tax cut hill. Mr.. Dillon, however,
may be a bit on the suspect side. He is
a Republican who Joined the political
camp Of the enemy, and his battle cry
has a strange ring to 1t.
Mr.. Dillon is plugging for a tax cut
because the economic outlook, far from
getting worse, is getting better. What
he is saying, In substance, is that taxes
can-and Should-be cut by $40 billion,
and that the national economy is moving
along so we'll that we may still be able
to trim about 81 billion from the pre-
viouSly anticipated deficit-after the
tax cut.
Frankly, belonging to that company
which has trouble balancing a check
book, we find this a bit confusing. It
had been Jul impression that the main
argument for a tax cut wa that this
device is needed to get America moving
again. No tax cut, NJ progress. Cut
taxes, and away we 60.
Obviously, our view on the matter
has been somewhat on the simple side.
For here we have the Secretary of the
Treasury, who may be politically suspect
but who still is knowledgeable, saying
that the tax cut is needed despite the
fact that the economic outlook is getting
brighter and brighter.
To digreSS for a moment, what has
become of those voices (ourS rather
loudly included) which had been saying
that a tax cut should be accompanied,
at least in some degree, by a cut in
Federal expenditures? And what about
those tax reforms" some of them
pretty grim, which were to offset in
part the tax cut? All of them seem
to have been neatly tucked away in
the filed-and- forgotten cabinet.
Considerations such as these have
been or are in the process of being over
whelmed and submerged. The overriding
demand is for a tax cut-for the tax cut
as scheduled and never mind about the
economies or the reforms.
This, If followed, is a process which
may bring on that initiation which for
mer Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey said would "curl our hair" Or,
possibly, it may produce that accelera-
ton of the economy which the fright
thinkers" believe, or at least hope, will
come to pass.
To state the matter frankly, simply
and honestly-we just don't know. And
we will not be ~diSingenuous enough to
pretend that we do know. Our inStinc-
tive inclination, however, is toward the
tax cut-period. And 1t is encouraging
to read that SO corporate executives
have Joined together to push for the tax
reductions now-at this session OF Con-
greSS. To lame but a few, this group
includes the likes of Henry Ford I'd, of
the Ford Motor Company; Frazer B.
Wilde, chairman, Connecticut General
Life Insurance Company; Stuart T.
Saunders, president Of the Norfolk and
Western Railway, and Mark w. CreSap,
jr., president of Westinghouse.
1t is possible, though not likely, that
the estimate Of such men as these is
no better than ours. But we are salts

case they had no earlier
plans or models to go by. In
England, the mother country
and chief source of early
American practices, politics
In the 18th century was still
a helter-skelter of personal
maneuvering and personal

Death Of O Mailman

I am appalled, by the
mockery and disrespect for
right shown by The Star in
its editorial Death Of q
Mailman" What Justification
can there be at such times
to label William L. Moore
something Of a nut? VIII
liam Moore has given his
life so that the spirit Of
America might live. While
all Americans are grieved,
our corporate conscience has
been pricked. With Presi-
dent Kennedy. Americans
must agree this brutal MUIR
der was an outrageous crime.
But William Moore has not
died in vain. His cross will
be carried by others inspired
to action by this shock. Two
thousand years ago the
world witnessed the execu-
ton Of another nut" His
name was Jesus Of Nazareth.
Other nuts" lost their lives
in a similar manner. Mary
Dyer was hanged at Boston
Commons. Mahatma Gandhi
fell from an assassin's bullet
only IS years ago. None died
in vain. Who today will call
Jesus q nut? Or even Mary
Dyer or Mahatma Gandhi?
Applying to this situation
is a prayer by a Methodist
minister from Waynesville,
N. c., John w. Shackford.
How much better your edi-
torial would have been had
it expressed the same beau
tiful message. The prayer
follows:
Help us our Father. to
see that all life is sacred and
that there is dignity in all
labor done in the spirit of
service. May we seek to serve
Thee by serving our fellow
man, and may we find our
highest joy in this service.
We pray that we may come
to realize In our experience
what Jesus meant by His
teaching that we find life
by losing 1t; for His sake and
for those He came to serve"
william r. Martin.
Use Of the comic term
something of a nut" to char
acterize William L. Moore, the
Baltimore postman who was
shot down on an Alabama road
while wearing a pro-integra-
ton sign, seemed wholly in
appropriate. Death in news
paper columns, as In real
life, is never funny.
William F. Dwyer.
No doubt The Star wishes
to absolve itself and its
readers from any twinge Of
conscience when 1t maintains
that William L. Moore was
something Of a nut" For
~tunately such sacrifice in
spires innumerable like
minded nuts to seek the

According to that bowling
philosopher, Joe Wilman, "the
ball goes where your armswing
sends it,"
If your arm ends up over
your left shoulder in your fol-
low through, your ball will I'M
doubtedly be pulled to the left.
If your arm ends up out to the
right, you probably pushed the
ball out that way, too, in re-
leasing it.
However, If you concentrate
on bringing the arm straight
back and straight forward in
releasing the ball, you should
get much better results.
Your hand should continue
on up in front of your face in
the proper follow through. The
