CRIME PUBLICITY DOES PAY OFF

Indiana newspapers need go no farswef. to the charges of critics that newspaper reporting of crime news prejudices the rights of defendants to fair trails and > case of, j ■ encourages their further ■_ degradation. ■ local law enforcement officer as a ‘‘wise young punk,” was arrested on a charge of. juvenile delinquency. His mother reported that l»<>y was 'f'daido. ;> backtalker and mean enough to fight back if I tried to whip him.” The presiding judge in t: is ease has a policy of strict discipline for juvenile offenders and this being the boy’s third offense he was sentenced to serve 10 days in jail. It is also the policy of this judge t<> conduct juvenile court trails in public and to urge newspapers to publish the names of the offenders and their parent s, which was done in this instance. If the reasoning of’the critics has any r foundation, this boy* a high school dropout, should have been well on his way to a life of crime when the barred doors opened to release him fr-cn jail m rejoin his crowd of equally tough companions. But it didn't work out that way. By his own statement, the 10 days in jail and the embarrassment of seeing his name and his mother’s name in the newspaper gave him a jolt that opened his eyes to a new way bf nfe. He re-entered high school and his name was on the list of the first hotmr mil published after he resumed his studies. The same law officer who had referred to the boy as a "wise young punk.” now describes him as "one of - the finest boys I know.” , What is the reaction of at least one individual who was dealt with as this boy was by a practical-minded judge and the newspapers? *T should have been punished the first time 1 was caught out late.” the boy stated to a newspaper reporter. “If it had not happened this time, eventually I think 1 would have gotten into more serious trouble. If 1 hadn’t been dealt with severely. 1 wouldn't have gone back to school.” His ambition now is to enter Purdue university as a student for the degree in mechanical engineering.

What makes this case so outstanding js that it did not arise in one of the larger cities, of the state. Its locale was a small city’ of less than 8,000 population. The .judge of the court and the newspapers in such cities are often ave se to playing up the misdeeds oof those who are known to next door neighbors. It would i>e assuming too much to hold that the newspaper publicity was wholly responsible for the reformation of the boy or that a like result would accure in every case of this kind. The stamina of a judge, the understanding of a mother, the underlying sterling qualities of the boy and the factual handlingof the news by the newspaper combined to accomplish the results. By no means does this case settle the Free Press-Fair Trial controversy that has reached the boiling point in many areas of the nation; But it does prove that publicity properly handled through cooperation of the courts, the lawyers and the newspapers w ill pay dividends, Granted that no hardened criminal will be reformed by seeing his name and his past record of crimes published in a newspaper, it is the height of folly to hold that a criminal will not receive a fair trial because the record is published. As was so ably expressed by the editor of the Memphis, Tenn.

By DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent ‘ : THE SCARE that was created last year about nitrate poisoning in cattle oh com sHage should dimmish. There have been no cases of confirmed poisoning of cattie from silage in any state east of the Mississippi river.' There have beefi cases in the range states but the circumstances have been different. There were a few cases of nitrate poisoning in Illinois last year, but the sources of the trouble were shallow wells from which the cattle got their water supply. Drainage from the feed-lots was permitted to seep into the water supply, raising the nitrate level. Much of the trouble in feed has

come from the western range states I where nitrate poisoning has occurred in running cattle on drought affected grass land. Nitrates are used rapidly to produce proteins in fast growing plants, but when growth is stopped, there can be trouble. It is still wise to be sure that cattle fed on silage has adequate supplies of vitamin A. This further pro- : tects them from trouble. THE 4-H entomology project con-1 tinues to be a popular one for youngsters who have a scientific interest and are willing to do a little extra work in mounting arid labeling of insects. There were 656 boxes of insect collections at the state fair representing all counties except three. ••« • • THE VALUE and necessity of iron for baby pigs was further demonstrated at tiie State Swine Day last week.

UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS DROP With recalls of numerous autoI motive workers in Indianapolis last week after brief model-change layoffs and resumptions of production in plants in other areas of the state, unemployment claims dropped to a 16,983 total from 20,540 the week before. Lewis F. Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said that claims were about 10 per cent higher at this time last year. Mr. Nicolini said all of the deccrease last week was in continued claims. Initial claims, those signifying new periods of unemployment, rose by nearly 270. The increase reflected layoffs of some 700 employees of Indiana firms feeling secondary effects of a labor dispute in an out-of-state automobile plant they supply and of 200 workers by one manufacturer during a changeover to a new railroad car order. Several other smallscale temporary layoffs were reported. Also increasing employment in tiie state last week were the accelerating activities in food processing plants and the return to work of limestone industry workers following settlement of a labor dispute. .

Bayh-LinesL FROM WASHINGTON

A REPORT TO THE FEDFtE OF INDIANA FROM U. .& SENATOR BIRCH BAYH Allied Shipping To North Viet Nam

By BIRCH BAYH U. S. Senator WASHINGTON, D. C. — For some time. I have been deeply concerned about the practice of some shipping companies throughout the free world which persist in trading with North Viet Nam. In fact, in the 18-month period between January. 1964, through June, 1965, ships from the free world carried 476 cargoes to North Viet Nam. Six nations w-ere represented in this trading: the United Kingdom (which accounted for about 60 per cent of this traffic'. Greece, Norway, the Netherlands,. and Lebanon. ’. I Ironically. 24 of the very same vessels which have hauled ’ cargoes to North Viet Nam have put into American ports no fewer than 75 times in toe 18 months between January, 1964. through June, 1965. i It seems inconceivably to me that, the United .States should open its I ports to vessels which may have earlier carried cargoes to North Viet Nam or may be heading to North i Vietnamese ports soon after putting 1 in at American harbors. It is high time that free-world companies which permit their ships to trade with North Viet Nam are made to realize the full extent and, implications of the situation in which we are engaged in Viet Nam. The United States of America—this nation’s soldiers, sailors, and airmen — are fighting and dying in Viet Nam to protect the free world from furtiv er communist encroachment upon freedom and liberty. Yet a number of ships from the free world continue to carry sup: plies to North Viet Nam No free-dom-loving’ nation should permit its citizens to profit from trade which could result in the death of boys seeking to defend freedom. Because of this. I have introduced a bill in the Senate to close American ports to vessels of 4iny company which permits any of its ships to carry’ goods to or from North

KOSCIUSKO COUNTY REMC Owned By Those It Serves

I Viet Nam. Shortly after I announced my intention to introduce such legislation, 1 was informed by responsible authorities that . the United States is seeking to halt such trade through negotiation. I was informed that Japanese shipowners have agreed to halt with North Viet Nam and that the Government of Lebanon has placed effective restrictions against similar trade. I am hopeful that other nations involved in trade with North Viet Nam will follow the examples, of Japan and Lebg riiy. It is my firm belief that this legislation will serve to expedite voluntary agreements. If it does not. however, its enactment would provide meaningful Ist those companies .which continue to seek profits at the possible cost of spilling American j blood on Vietnamese soil.
