LANSING RI)-Describing pres-
ent law as 'inadequate," a special
Michigan crime commission this
week recommended 25 steps aimed
at strengthening state laws dealing
with riots and organized crime.
Heading the list of suggestions
for legislative and administrative
action were recommendations to
deal with or head off racial dis-
orders like those which struck De-
troit and other Michigan cities
last July.
Reporting to Acting Gov. Wil-
liam Milliken, the 57-man com-
mission called for -allowance of
police wiretapping in cases involv-
ing organized crime or corrupt
public officials, immunity from
prosecution for witnesses and a
ban on military-type weapons
such as machine guns.
The* commission, made up of
lawyers, judges, professors, police-
men and civic leaders, and headed
by Michigan Republican National
Committeeman John B. Martin,
was named by Gov. George Rom-
ney in 1966 because of public con-
cern over rising crime statistics.
Milliken said he and Romney
would consider the proposals in
drawing up the administration's
own recommendations to be made
to the legislature this year.
Milliken, stopped short of say-
ing the Romney administration
would recommend exactly the
legislation the 40-page document
proposed.
"Both the governor and I will
study commission's recommenda-
tions thoroughly before submit-
ting this administration's pro-
posals to the legislature," he said.
In dealing with riots, the com-
mission suggested, it would be
helpful for the news media to
"avoid giving extensive, contin-
uous and sensational coverage" to
racial extremists, either black or
white.
"We urge the news media to
recognize that they have a public
responsibility to avoid giving ex- and temporarily impose controls

little reason for him to worry
about being drafted.
He had everything going for
him-three children, a profession

age, 29.
He was in no danger from the

Today Shea faces the strong
possibility of spending five yearsE
in prison for refusing to be in-
ducted into the armed services, not
to mention being fired from his
job. And he brought it all on him-;
self in order to clear up an in-
consistency in his life.

"At one point, I supported the
war in Vietnam," said Shea, whoser
father is a career military officerj
now serving in Vietnam. "But now
I'm seeking to become a radical
pacifist. I want to be free of all
commitments to violence and
punishment or retaliation of any
kind."
Shea started becoming a pacifist
in late 1966. By last April, his con-
victions were so strong that he
could no longer carry a draft card
"because the Selective Service Sys-
tem provides the manpower which
the military needs to kill human
beings." He felt it was inconsistent

...as Ri'ot Suspects Ai
By The Associated Press
More than 1,500 persons are still
awaiting trial on charges arising
from last July's riots in Detroit
and Newark.
The bulk of 4,200 arrested in De-
troit and 1,300 in Newark were ac-
cused of minor offenses such as
drunkenness or disorderly conduct,
With few exceptions, the courts
have disposed of these cases, usu-
ally by imposing fines or light jail
sentences.
But with court dockets jammed,
the trials of 1,200 charged with
felonies in the Detroit disorder will
not even start until spring. Au-
thorities hope, but do not guaran-
tee, that court dockets will be clear
of these cases some time next
summer.
Of the Detroit defendants, 40
have been in jail since the rioting,
either unable to furnish high bail
or denied bail because of the
crimes with which they were
charged.
Most of these had other criminal
charges pending against them
when they were picked up during
the riot and further accused of
such offenses as arson or attempt-
ed murder.
Jay Noland, assistant Wayne
County prosecutor, said he hoped
that all pending trials could be
carried out within the next five or
six months because otherwise fur-
ther disorder this year might flood
the courts all over again.
"We had barely cleared out our
cases on the 1966 disturbances on
Detroit's East Side when our 1967
troubles struck,," Nolan com-
mented.

This was the cry that shook
the Buffalo streets last June.
For three days a miniature Hell
developed in the Negro ghetto.
Only after it was over, was the
question asked: "Why?"

book, Anatomny of a Riot seeks
the answers. This book lays
bare the soul of a city and
documents the hate and frus-
tration that produces a urban
riot.
