Crime

Can

Be

Controlled

By WALTER R. MEARS
WASHINGTON (P) - President
Johnson's crime commission de-.
clared yesterday that America can
control lawlessness, but said it
will take money, manpower, drastic
reforms and "an unremitting na-
tional effort for social justice" in
city slums.
Reporting that the nation's
crime rate may be three times as
high as had been estimated, the
commission proposed a vast out-
lay of federal funds to help cities
and states overhaul their courts,
police departments and prison
systems-and plan new control
and correction programs for the
years ahead.
Its chairman, Undersecretary
of State Nicholas Katzenbach, said
he could not estimate the sum it
would take to enact the more than
200 recommendations the panel
produced.
The commission said, for exam-
ple, that every defendant facing
the loss of his liberty should have
a lawyer, that the lowest tier of
criminal courts metes out "as-
sembly line justice" and should be
eliminated; that the bail system

is a failure and should be re-
formed.
It urged a stepped-up effort to
eliminate school segregation-even
if that means sending suburban
children to replace Negroes in
troubled slum schools.
"America must translate its well-
founded alarm about crime into
social action that will prevent
crime," the panel said.
It called on lawmen and all
Americans to join in that effort
-to eliminate slums and ghettoes,
improve education, provide jobs.
Eighteen months of preparation
and some $2 million went into the
commissions'. blueprint for a war
on crime. Its budget was $1.1 mil-
lion. The rest of the expenditure
represents cooperative research
projects financed by the Office
of Law Enforcement Assistance.
Time and again, the commis-
sion's 291-page report turned to
the ills of the big city slums and
the ghettoes, "the conditions in
which most crime breeds."
"More broadly and most im-
portantly, every effort to improve
life in America's inner cities is an
effort against crime," it said. "A

communty's most enduring protec-
tion against crime is to right the
wrongs and cure the illnesses that
bor "
The commission reported the
crime rate among Negroes is
higher than that of white Amer-
icans. It blamed poor housing, low
incomes and unemployment.
"If conditions of equal oppor-
tunity prevailed, the large differ-
ences now found between the Ne-
gro and white arrest rates would
disappear," the report said.
Johnson received a typed draft
of the report on Jan. 23 and sent
his crime-fighting proposals to
Congress on Feb. 6. He recom-
mended a $50 million federal aid
program for the year ahead to
help finance state and city plan-
ning, research and innovation in
crime-fighting.
Two days later, Johnson pro-
posed a $25 million assistance plan
to help combat juvenile delin-
quency by improving courts and
corrections systems.
Katzenbach, former attorney
general, said those measures will
help bring the state and local ac-

tion the commission recom-
mended.
The panel--offically, the Presi-
dent's Commission on Law En-
forcement and Administration of
Justice-was created by Johnson
on July 26, 1965, with a mandate
to seek daring, revolutionary ideas
for a campaign against crime.
Its blue-bound report, entitled
"The Challenge of Crime in a
Free Society," sells for $2.25. There
are seven more volumes to follow,
each dealing in depth with a single
aspect of ,crime control and law
enforcement.
In proposing new federal aid to
spur state and local reform and
innovation in crime fighting, the
commission said "several hundrect
million dollars annually could be
profitable spent over the next
decade.
The commission said increased
states and city spending is going
to be vital, too.
"Governmental action will not
be enough," it added. "Crime is
a social problem that is interwoven
with almost every aspect of Amer-
ican life. Controlling crime is the
business of every American."

"Before this nation can hope to
reduce crime significantly or last-
ingly, it must mount and maintain
a massive attack against the con-
ditions of life that underlie it," the
commission said.
In that effort, it advocated:
-Steps to reduce unemployment
--creating public service jobs
where there is no work to be had.
-Development of methods to
provide "minimum family income,"
and revisions of welfare rules to
keep families together.
-Improved housing and recrea-
tion facilities. ,
-Family planning assistance.
-Stepped up efforts to "combat
school segregation along racial and
economic lines, and the housing
segrgeation that underlies it."
-Improved slum schools to
make sure that children there "re-
ceive the best, rather than the
worst education in the nation."
Dealing with big city riots, the
commission said: "The only en-
during guarantee that riots will
not occur is to answer the cry of
'help' that Negroes have been ut-
tering for many years and that
can be clearly heard even amid the

destruction and bloodshed of a
riot.
To provide that answer, the re-
port said, "America must move far
more rapidliy than it has so far
done."
These were among the commis-
sion's major proposals:
-A reorganization of police
forces, with college-trained police
agents in charge of the most de-
manding jobs, police officers
handling emergencies, patrols and
preliminary investigations, and
youthful, uniformed community
service officers serving as ap-
prentices. Police recruits would be
able to begin their service at any
of the three levels, depending on
their qualifications.
-Creation of community rela-
tions units to improve police rela-
tions with Negroes and other min-
ority groups; of investigative
branches to deal with brutality
or corruption; and of procedures
for dealing with citizen complaints
against any public official.
-Establisment of youth service
bureaus to deal with young of-
fenders outside the criminal sys-
tem whenever possible. s

-Improvements in police com-
muncations, law-enforcement or-
ganization and crime research to
take advantage of scientific and
technical advances.
--Merger of felony and mis-
demeanor courts, to do away with
the "assembly-lie justice" the com-
mission said it found in the lower
courts.
-Bail reforms, designed to per-
mit the release without cash bond
of any defendant who could be
safely set free to await trial.
-A program of federal aid
totaling perhaps "several hundred
million dollars a year," to en-
courage state and local planning,
research and reform.
-Elimination of drunkenness as
a criminal offense.
-Creation of small, community-
based correctional centers to re-
'place fortress-style prisons for
most offenders.
-An "unremitting national ef-,
fort for social justice" to improve
the conditions of life in city slums
-conditions, the commission said,
which breed crime.

--More manpower to enforce
the narcotics laws and revised
sentencing laws to provide flex-
ibility in dealing with offenders.
--Provision for legal counsel, if
the defendant cannot afford a
lawyer, in all criminal cases in-
volving the possible loss of liberty.
-State gun-control legislation,
with federal action later if nec-
essary, to restrict mail-order sales
and require registration to that
lawmen will know where every gun
is and who owns it.
-A recommendation that con-
gress should adopt legislation on
wire-tapping-but did not say
what its terms should be. A ma-
jority held that the law should
carefully limit authority for elec-
tronic surveillance by law enforce-
ment officers.
The creation of specialized unite
in states and cities to fight organ-
ized crime. It proposed the estab-
lishment of a permanent congres-
sional committee on the problem,
and suggested annual grand jury
investigation in areas where the
crime syndicate known as Cosa
Notra is known to be operating.

An AP News Analysis
If Peking's own reports are to
be believed, the confusion reigning
in much of Communist China
threatens prolonged strife, possible
dismemberment and a block to the
nation's nuclear weapons program.
Propaganda from Peking for the
past six weeks suggests that the
"great proletarian cultural revolu-
tion" is splitting a Communist
party built by Mao Tse-tung in
four decades of revolutionary
struggle.

The unfolding picture shows -a
struggle for an aging leader's
power and a clash of philosophies.
Those behind Mao seek constant
revolution in austerity until the
achievement of a distant dream of
some sort of Chinese communism.
The opposition represents the
party's entrenched bureaucracy.
To it, revolution is a thing of the
past. It seeks nation-building and
perhaps a more rational approach
to transforming China into a ma-I
jor world power.
The bureaucracy-the far-flung
apparatus of party control over

the nation-was built by men like ous regions and a large number of

Three important military fig-
ures seem to be in the anti-Mao
essfu l:k camp, threatening both China'sf

mander and party chief of the
Sinkiang-Uighur nomous region,
is a possibility. Wang, too, has
been denounced in Peking as an
opponent of Mao. In his vast area
of 630,000 square miles, 90 per cent
of the 6 million people are non-
Chinese.
Another powerful leader de-
nounced in Peking is Ulanfu, mil-
itary commander and party chief
of Inner Mongolia, an autonom-
ous region of 320,000 square miles
outside the Great Wall and bor-
dering the pro-Soviet Outer Mon-
golian People's Republic.
Ulanfu, a fiery leader, has seem-
ed as much nationalist as Com-
munist, and is credited with the
slogan "Mongolia for the Mon-
golians." He has been a vice pre-
mier of Communist China and
member of the National Defense
Council.
The opposition to Mao includes
party leaders in many provincial
and city party committees around,
the country, according to Peking's
own outlets.
Mao and Lin may by now be
shaken by the possibility of im-
minent disaster.

WASHINGTON OP ) - The Re-
publican leadership, which played
the key role in denying Adam
Clayton Powell his house seat last
month, was reported yesterday to
have accepted the plan to seat
Powell but censure him severely
and dock some of his pay.
Republican leaders are under-
stood to have agreed with the four
Republicans on the select com-
mittee studying the Powell matter

that this is the most severe yet
practical' punishment that can be
dealt the Harlem Democrat.
Four of the five Democrats on
the committee are also tending to-
ward this view. Rep. Claude D.
Pepper of Florida is keeping an
open mind on possible alternatives,
although he is understood to lean
toward a penalty that includes re-
moval of Powell from the House.

Dirksen To Support
Embassy Treaty

Everyone connected with the
Powell investigation emphasizes
that the situation could still
change when the committee re-
sumes deliberations tomorrow, but
the outlines of a consensus have
emerged.
Republicans generally are con-
sidered to hold the key to Powell's
fate in the House where most
Northern Democrats tend toward
some plan that would avoid
Powell's expulsion and m o s t
Southern Democrats favor ousting
the Negro leader.
If the Republicans can line up
most of their 187 members behind
the censure plan, the House prob-
ably will go along with it. The key
to the debate would be to avoid
the. direct vote of expulsion by
blocking amendments to the reso-
lution seating and censuring
Powell. Once this was done, the
resolution itself probably would
win approval.
Republican members of the com-
mittee told GOP leaders at a long
conference Friday that to expel
Powell would only make him a
martyr. In addition, they argued,
it might bring the entire matter
back before the House within
months if Powell, as expected, won
the special election that would be
called for his vacated seat.

Anti-Mao Forces Succ
Score VBloo

dy Clashes

TOKYO (M)-Foes of Mao Tse-
tung were reported yesterday to
have scored partial victories in
battles at key points ranging from
the frozen Mongolian frontier to
the Himalayan border in western
China.
Radio Moscow, in a Japanese-
language broadcast, said anti-Mao
forces, after a series of bloody
clashes, had seized "nearly full
control" of Inner Mongolia, a
strategic autonomous region in
Red China's northeast.
Other reports told of gains by
opponents of Mao's great cultural
revolution-or purge-in Hupeh,
Shantung and Szechwan Provinces
and trouble for the Maoists in the
Port Arthur-Dairen area of Man-
churia.
Moving Successfully
Bu tin Darjeeling, India, Tibetan
exiles monitoring Radio Lhasa
said. there were indications that
pro-Mao forces were moving suc-
cessfully against anti-Maoist in an
effort to regain control of, Tibet.
In Peking, a public statement
by Foreign Minister Chen Yi gave
no hint of any slackening in Mao's
purge.
Sporadic fighting has been re-
ported in Inner Mongolia recently,
and Japanese reports Friday said
telephone and telegraph: commu-
nications with Inner Mongolia's
capital, Huhehot, had been dis-
rupted.

NEW ORLEANS - Dist. Att.
Jim Garrision said yesterday a
plan was developed in New Or-

Kennedy. He added, "Arrests will
be made."
"We already have the names of
the people in the initial planning,"
Garrison told the Associated Press.
'We are not wasting our time and
we will prove it. Arrests will be
made. Charges will be filed and
convictions will be obtained."

NEW DELHI, India (M - The
Indian government ordered a halt
yesterday to premature counting
of ballots by officials in distant
eastern Manipur Territory along
the Burmese border, in the na-
tion's week of general election.
Because of fear that early pub-'
lication of results might affect'
voting in states where balloting
has not yet taken place, the Elec-
tion Commission sent an urgent
communication to Manipur's chief
electoral officer telling him to
make sure the counting of votes,
was stopped at once.
Officials in Imphal, the terri-
torial capital 1,100 miles east of
New Delhi, released results of four
races for the 30-member State
Assembly Friday night.'
An Election Commission spokes-

man in New Delhi voiced fear that
because of poor communications
within the hilly and heavily for-
ested state, even more results
might be announced before the
central government's message was
received.
The elections, to choose 520
members of Parliament and fill
3,560 state assembly seats, are
staggered over a week because
there are not enough trained poll-
ing personnel and police to handle
the total eligibile electorate of
250 million in a shorter time.
Although counting will be
started across the country after
the last polling stations close
Tuesday night, fairly complete re-
turns are not expected before next
weekend.
