Crime U Crime Fpsin National Review : “In the rent of the world os in Ameriro. big city rnme w mount ing rnptdty The new London Comm i«vonrr of IVItce. Sir Joseph Simpimn. reports that in 1958 there were 151.795 ‘indictable crimes’— •5.18)0 more than the preceding year, and twice as many as in 1954. The sharpest in crease was in the teen-age (14 to 2t)l group. (There was tio increase in the abovt-90 age group.) Among the causes to which Sir Jo seph points are: the new racial tensions; di version of police to traffic duties: excessive leniency in the treatment of juvenile delin quents." So far ;t> this country is concerned, the last cause is undoubtedly the big one. That is the opinion of J. Edgar Hoover and other law enforcement authorities. We have gone to excessive lengths in seeking to blame juve niles themselves. In many, if not most, of the states newspaper^ are even forbidden to print the names of juvenile criminals, thus pro tecting them from the kind of publicity that might make other juveniles think twice be fore performing criminal acts. Society, in self defense, should work on ’the.principle that crime is crime, no matter what the age of the criminal. The Something For Nothing Delusion Writing, in Reader’s Digest. n< less an ...ithority than Director of the Budget. Mau- -ice H. Stans, gives this country a much- • eeded warning. His point is that the nation’s solvency is gravely threatened by the something-for- -othing dtfusion—the idea that money which (mes from Washington somehow doesn’t «>st us anything. In his words. “Despite the pla.n evidence : w ha: government deficit spending and in- •lation have done to our dollar, bills were in- •roduced in Congress the past session that .could burden the national debt by another $3m billion a year." Then, he cites specific «reas where federal spending can be curbed ..mi \a-t sums *a\ed These include the farm programs: slum iWarance; benefits lo veter ans f<>r disabilities not connected with mili: *arv senae: rural electrification (l’ *arm« a;e m-w 95 (wr cent electrifiejM; and ar.ou.o kind* of pu)*lk - assistance/^ One «*i the i ggest reasons far the swelling ^ederal do t and the weiflit of taxation lies n federal ‘pending for purp , **’‘ things a huh people ‘he ulj Either prtwtde for them- *e vr*. i*r wh.ch *h«*uld be provided by state •nd kxa! forernment.
