Too Much Protection of Criminals

tai, which Is governed solely
by Federal laws. The Sem
ate, however, Is under pres
sure to block the effort,
with opposition coming from
so called liberal" groups
and organizations which are
more concerned with safe
guards for the civil rights"
of those accused Of crimes.
The newspapers tell daily
of murders, assaults, rob-
berries, rapes and other
crimes. But since people in
one section Of a State are
far away from the scene Of
a vicious crime or don't
know the victims, the easy
assumption is that "it can't
happen here" Yet in the city
of Washington, for example,
people in the very best
residential neighborhoods, as
we'll as those in other areas,
do not dare to venture out
alone at night.
This very week the news
papers have reported the
murder Of two girls in a New
York City apartment - one
about to start teaching
school and the other q
magazine employe. They
were college graduates in
their 20s and the daughters,
respectively, of a prominent
surgeon and a successful
author. Two days before, the
wife of the Chilean consul
general was murdered as she
sat before her television set
at Z o'clock in the evening at
her country home in New
Jersey. The house was ran
sacked by burglars. A few
days ago in Washington, the
27-year-old son Of q promi-
nent attorney - q brilliant
young man with q splendid
record in college-was killed
as he walked his dog q short
distance from his home in
one of the city's best residen-
tial districts. Hoodlums robbed
and shot him. then sped away
in q car and thus ended a
promising life.
Incidents like these are
being multiplied throughout
the Nation. The protection
of human life - the most
important Of all civil rights
- which seems to be neg
lected In many parts Of the
country, certainly needs en-
phasis as well as national
attention.

DORIS FLEESON
Rights March Called ChiIdTs Play
Compared to the Real Goal

Leaders Of the civil rights
march on Washington wore
their laurels gracefully and
even with humility after 1t
ended amid almost universal
acclaim. Compared to the
task they have set them
selves, the march was child's
play.
For they know that the
key to the well-being Of the
Negro is jops and that the
job problem Is not solvable
on a racial basis. Automa-
ton, like money, draws no
color line. It affects people,
and 1t has to be solved for
everybody.
1t is probable at this point
that Negro intellectuals and
their white friends are ahead
Of most Of the political COM
munity in their insights into
the difficulty Of making the
American system produce
greater social and economic
justice. They do not want
to defeat the politicians,
they only want to join them
in pursuit Of that goal.
Civil rights is the key to
that joining, a symbol Of
recognition, a sponge for
erasing q century Of per-
sonal humiliation. But Negro
emotion today is not being
spent on recognition; that
barrier Is falling.
What Negro leaders per-
ceive better than many
whites is that in the age of
automation; Jobs must be
found, and that increasingly
they can only be filled by
men and women with skills,
education, good health.
These leaders are being
pressed harder from below
than are the privileged Of

MCGOWAN Is Retiring
As Guard Bureau Chief

major, Gen. MCGOWAN went
overseas with the 29th DiW-
sion in June, 1918-and into the
Meuse-Argonne Battle Of World
War I.
He was released from active
duty in November, 1918, to be-
come a cadet at West Point,
but resigned the following year
and rejoined the New Jersey
Guard.
He came up through the
ranks and in January, 1941,
was called to Federal service in
the rank of colonel. As COM
mander, he took the 1920
mechanical cavalry outfit to
Europe in 1912.
He fought in the D-Day as
sault, in Brittany, Belgium and
Holland, returning to the
United States In late 1945 and
then to become deputy adju-
tant general for New Jersey.
He was sworn In for q four
year term as chief Of the Ma
tional Guard Bureau on July
20, 1859.

the white community for
obvious reasons, but they
know that white pressures
are building, too.
This issue, barring inter-
ternational disasters, will In
some form emerge clearly in
the 1864 campaign and may
even determine its outcome.
The demonstrators who as
sembled here are being wide
ly praised for their grace
under pressure, their warmth
and their wonderful good
manners. 1t is clear that the
American Negro, despite his
handicaps, has developed his
own middle class as we'll as
his intellectuals and they are
a formidable force.
Those who blame President
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roose-
welt for this have probably
hit upon the right culprits.
But that revolution is over
and a generation which pro-
poses to rise higher and in
greater numbers was promin-
ent at the Lincoln Memorial.
Like President Kennedy,
these young Negroes pride
themselves on their pragmat-
ism. They want something
that works, as he does.
They are getting through
to him, and it is not an &C
cident that he interweaves
civil rights and the country's
economic problems. They are
interviewer in fact and in the
mind Of the Negro. So the
President talks the tax bill to
them, sure of a response.
There is still no sign that

meet the job situation. These

call for a Marshall plan for

If a march on. Washing
ton" is the most effective
way nowadays to attract ma
tional attention, who will or
ganize the next march?
Civil rights are supposed
to include the right to be
safe from robbery, from as
sault, from rape, from MUIR
der. These rights are pre-
surnably guaranteed by those
provisions in the Constitu-
ton which protect the "life,
liberty, and property" of all
citizens.
Orlando w. Wilson, super
intendent Of police in the
City of Chicago, said re-
Gently:
Everybody seems to be
organized today to protect
civil liberties. I would like to
organize the victims Of
criminal assaults who have
been robbed and raped in
our streets"
Mr.. Wilson is a leading
authority on police work,
having served as police chief
in other cities and as dean
of the School Of CriminoIogy
Of the University of Califor-
MIA before going to Chicago.
He said in a speech this
month to a committee Of the
American Bar Association:
"Crime is overwhelming
our society. =. In the name
Of protecting individual lib
eruies, we are permitting so
many technicalities to creep
into our system Of criminal
justice that we are no longer
convicting a sufficiently high
proportion of guilty GRIM
inals."
In the Nations Capital,
Police Chief Robert Murray
tells Of the Illustration among
his men due to restrictions
on their efforts to enforce
the law and due to court de-
cisions that have liberated
criminals through technicali-
ties. Chief Murray says:
THE criminal Is being az
forded more legal protection

the police, is concerned about

inals."
Crime in the United States
is getting out of hand gen.
orally, but some amazing
statistics have been issued
lately showing the relation
ship between strict law en-
forcement and the crime
rate. Official figures show,
for instance, that in 1862 in
Washington. d. c., aggra-
waited assaults were the high
est per capita in America.
Yet, in Seattle, Wash, and in
Milwaukee, Wis. - where
criminals are dealt with as
criminals - the percentage
was about one-tenth Of what
these crimes were in the Ma
tional Capital.
Chicago has begun an In
tensive effort to crack down
particularly on crimes
against persons, and Is max
ing progress. But the police
chief there thinks crime will
never be cleaned up until
restrictions that hamstring
the police force are removed
and court procedures that
favor the criminal are
changed.
A high-ranking official Of
the Federal Bureau Of In
vestigation is quoted as say
ing:
Its very difficult for law
enforcement people to take
the view that crime Is a dis
ease and that every person
who commits q crime is
mentally Ill. It's very diff
cult to tell q policeman who
has stood before the blazing
gun Of q hardened criminal
that he's just facing some
mentally i'll person who
should be put away for q
while.
IF a person is adjudged
insane by competent author
tiles and his incarceration
administered properly, then
we in law enforcement can
have no kick. But when that
person is released to prey
upon the public, we are ap-
palled."

tives has passed q bill pro-
viding for a change In crimi-

(AP). = More than a dozen
houses and several churches
have been dynamited In Bir-

rewards now totaling $1,000,
arrests have been few.
The weekend bombings of a
Negro motel and the home of

motel had been headquarters
for an intense integration drive
