RS THE ('01'RTS Let's leave the school busi ness for a while and talk a lit tle about the Courts. There was a front page story in the daily press this week about a Judge up in Detroit re leasing murder suspects on the flimsy ground that they had not been advised of their right to call attorneys before being giv en a test to determine whether they had fired a gun. This is a flagrant abuse of power and hopefully the Michi gan Bar will look into the mat ter One need not go to Detroit, however, tn find evidence of coddling of criminals. A former law officer said to me recently, ' When will these Judges KVKR learn that you just can't be good to hardened < rimmals*’ The criminals have learned that they can get by with almost anything as long as they are willing to pay a few dollars and make periodie re port' to a probation officer JiM look at the list of <en- foners handed down in any term o' criminal court in this state.
