PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1965 ■ (S .< Soaring Crime Rates— Part III THE WALL of protection which has been and is bein^ erected by the Supreme Court to prevent the conviction and pun ishment of criminals by society is no coincidence. Almost simul- taneousiy, there have emerged aew barriers to convictions of criminals in the areas of con fessions, evidence, counsel, po!:ce files, and insanity defenses. THE WELLSPRING of the°e perversions of the criminal ju dicial procedure is the basic philosophy of contemporary ^liberalism.” This is the idea that society, rather than the in dividual, bears the responsibility for anti-social or criminal be havior. SOCIOLOGY texts have joined both the case books on the shelves of law libraries and the citations which appear in foot noted authorities for the ration- ale of court decisions. From the sociologist, the courts hear that crime is caused by environment end criminal attitudes produced by poverty and illiteracy. These deficiencies are said to be per mitted to exist by society and awe beyond the control of the offending individual. FROM THE RANKS of psy chiatry have flowed the same theories, with an even more dis- harbhtg tangent. Criminal be havior is traced to feelings of inferiority, guilt, and fear, which la torn, are said to cause im maturity and irrational thinking. The root of the complexes, down through all civilizations, is pinned on morality. G. B. CHISOLM, in delivering the William Alanson White Me morial Lecture in 1946. address ing himself to the cause of in feriority guilt, and fear feel ings. stated: “The only lowest common denominator of all civil- izations and Hie only psychology, cal force capable of producing these perversions .s morality, the concept of right and wrong.” Chislom continued: “The re interpretation and eventual erad ication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training the sub stitution of intelligent and ra tional thinking for faith in the certainties of the old people, these are the hf'lated objectives of practically all psychother- apy” LEST ONE think that such pronouncements are far removed ■ from the realms of criminal law, it should be noted that the Chisolm address was introduced and endorsed by Mr. Abe Fortas, the most recent appointee to the Supreme Court. Said Mr. Fortas on this occasior., “Fy^edom from moralities means think and behave s^ “SENSIBLE” the „ havior, being relative, are hard to define. In the context of the “Great Society,” actions and be havior are “sensible” if they are supported at the moment by a “consensus.” ? / &?> i WITH SUCH an ^underlying concept, where is the f end to the ever broadening defense of “in sanity”? Already the^Court has adopted the basic rule fot fed eral jurisdictions that a defend ant is considered immune from punishment if he was suffering from a mental disease or defect at the time of the crime nhd crime was a product of the disease or defect. Since a men tal ^defect in the form of an in feriority, guilt, or fear feeling could be advanced with some plausibility for any criminal, are convictions ultimately to be dis continued until the concept of right and wrong is abolished in our society? SO VOLUMINOUS and sue ccssful has been the propagan dizing of the contemporary “lib era!” credo, that even when criminal conduct reaches the level of open insurrection, it is explained and excused on the basis o? “environmental’* cauceb. The attempt is fix so ciety, rath«*r than the offending individuals, with guilt * “the deprivations of the Iawle|p9| Su<th was the case with the Los Ang les insurrection. Thg news media have beer filled with explana tions of the causes of the ri( ing, hu-ning, stealing, assault and murdeis. These explanatioi attribute responsibility to tlie conditions of unemployment, poo? educathmrl advantages, housing inadccimcies. and in numerable other environmental factors, r-tber than individual contempt for the law; IN THE 1‘TNAi. ANALYSIS, the perversions of criminal law are products of the philosophy of collectivism—in this case col lectivism of guilt and responsi bility for crime. Unless this col lectivism philosophy is eradicat ed from lu.'licial and political thinking, «n<! replaced once again by understanding that each in dividual is responsible for his own actions, the Los Angeles insurrection is but an indicator of things to come.

It is the 1848 Quarter Eagle (a $2.50 gold piece) with the letters “CAL." stamped on the reverse side. “CAL.” designates California, and the coin is made of the first gold to reach the Eastern sea board from that state. This touched oft the gold rush. “The 1848 Quarter Eagle with CAL represents a colorful chap ter in American history, and is one of the 50 most wanted U.S. coins from a collector’s stand point,” notes Richard S. Yeoman, one of the nation’s top numis matic authorities. ~ Around 100 specimens from an original quantity of 1,389 are known to be in existence today, and each commands an auction price of about $7,500 in uncircu lated condition. The story of this coin begim with a far-sighted military gbv ernor of California, Col. R. B. Mason, continues Yooman, who is Vice President of the Coin Division at Whitman Publishing Company, Racine, WIs. Word on discovery of gold In California was slow to reach the populous East coast, because of communications problems. And informatipn that did filter through was greeted with skepticism^ Col. Mason decided the U.S., War Office must have undeni able proof that gold did exist in < California, says Yeoman, whose, firm is tae country’s leading, numismatic publisher. Mason commissioned a staff of ficer to personally carry a quan tity of gold to Washington D. C., In a tea caddy. Advance mes sages convinced President James K. Polk to authenticate the great discovery in his inaugural ad dress of 1848, and the gold rush was on. Secretary of War W. L. Marcy ordered that a portion of the California gold be used to make a coin with a distinguishing mark, and the 1848 Quarter ISagle with CAL, was born- BOYS IN SERVICE Miss Shealy weds James Long Jr. By MRS.
