“On a typical afternoon
Frank Grant and a visiting
journalist are making the
rounds with Owen Wilkerson, a
truant officer for West Kin-
m*y Junior High school. Truant
officers are pretty relevant to
ghetto problems—the 13 year
old arrested in Newark was
one of four boys of his age
charged by the police for ar
son last week, the other three
in Washington, D. C.. A 25-year
old graduate of West Virginia
State College, where he maj
ored in sociology, Mr. Wilker
son is a cheerful extrovertec
man who plans to run for the
city council as a representa
tive of the Central Ward, heart
of the ghetto.
On the way to one stop,
they’re stopped by a man we
shall call ‘Hondo’—a short
very black man with a broad,
flat face, who has just gotten
high on heroin. Hondo has a
middle-distance stare in his
eyes, and is having some trou
ble putting his thoughts to
gether. He has been fired from
his job as a porter because of
his police record (‘From here
to the corner,’ says Frank) and
that is probably why he is high.
Frank gives Hondo an address
where he will be next morning,
and promises to get him a job.”
Are we so lenient with crimt
and criminals that we a r i

tions of society?
Hear Mr. Nixon on our len
iency toward law-breakers:
“The key domestic issue of
the Presidential campaign may
prove to be crime—its pervasi
veness, its causes, and cures.
Last week, in the strongest
statement yet by a major can
didate, Republican frontrunner
Richard M. Nixon excoriated
the Johnston administration
and the Supreme Court for
letting America become a law
less society.
Mr. Nixon said the Admin
istration had been ‘lame tind
ineffectual’ in curtailing crime
partly because it wrongly
ascribes crime’s growth to pov
erty. The administration ‘bean-
major responsibility for per
petuation of this myth. The
success of criminals in this
country plays a far greater
role m the rising crime rate
than any consideration of pov
erty.’
While the crime rate has
been rising by 88 per cent over
the past seven years, Mr. Nix
on said, the population has in
creased by only 10 per cent
Only one crime in eight b
.-uccessfully prosecuted, he as
serted, partly because key
Supreme Court decisions have
emboldened criminals and ham
strung' lawmen.
If the present crime spiral
continues, Mr. Nixon’s thOliO
word 'position paper’ warned,
'then the city jungle will cease
to be a metaphor. It will be
come a barbaric reality, and
the brutal society that now
flourishes in the core cities of
America will annex the afflu
ent subu rbs. This nation will
then be what it is fast becom-
,ng - an armed camp of 200,-
000,000 Americans living in
fear.’
Mr. Nixon enumerated several
proposals. The major ones are
already contained in the omni
bus bill now before the Senate.
Mr. Nixon advocates and the
Justice Department opposes—
allowing electronic surveillance
under court supervision in
major crime cases as well as
national-security matters. He
proposes—and the Administra
tion and Senate liberals oppose
—letting state judges and jur
ies decide the admissibility of
confessions, rather than relying
on tin 1 Supreme Court guide
lines in recent decisions.”
