Congress Must Act Now To Curb Rising Crime Roto

After\eading about the rising crime rate in Marion county, I told newsmen in Indianapolis in a lighthearted manner that I wanted to return to Washington where it is safe. I was referring to a.newspaper report of a 48 per cent increase in crime in Marion county outside of

Indianapolis last January compared to January of 1968. But as we all know too well, the rising crime rate is no laughing matter. The time is now for Congress to lay the groundwork for a long overdue coordinated anti-crime program which both deals effect-

ively with criminals and attacks the causes of crime. We in Congress know that state and local governments eventually must carry out any effective antiz crime program. But I am determined that the national government shall give all assistance possible to the cities and towns of Indiana. Those of us who take pride in living in a free and open society with the highest standard of living on earth now reluctantly admit that crime concerns us as much if not more than rising taxes, crowded schools and the weather. We are concerned about crime because we have to be. If you live on a farm, crime in the streets probably still is something you read about in the newspaper; if you live in the suburbs, you won’t have to think very long before recalling a neighbor whose home was burglarized or whose youngster ran afoul of the sheriff; and if you live in any major city, you have learned to live with the threat of robbery or assault at night. The risk of your being the victim of a criminal act increases almost daily. In 1967, almost two out of every 100 U. S. citizens were the victims of some type of crime. It has been estimated that one cut of every three Americans is afraid to walk alone at night in his neighborhood. Here in Washington, it is not unusual to see elderly ladies accompanied by hefty police dogs while walking to a drug store after dark. The same is true in every large city.

complain: “Why is it we can send a man safely around the moon, but can’t guarantee the safety of a man when he walks to the corner drug store?’’ The 1968 Omnibus Crime Act is a major tool in the battle against rising crime. Under that act, funds are being made available to state and local police agencies to improve their crime-fighting techniques. Indiana recently received $304,029 under that act. I was a sponsor in the Senate of this AntiCrime Act. But more must be done. President Richard Nixon is expected to propose an anti-crime program later this year which we all hope will be both imaginative and innovative. Hopefully it will include more than a mere call for more police and more judges. New ideas must not come solely from the White House. Along with Birch Bayh, I have asked Congress to establish a joint committee to develop fresh approaches to determine both how to curb the skyrocketing crime rate and eliminate the causes of crime. The group, made up of seven Senators and seven members of the House of Representatives, would be called the Joint Committee To Investigate Crime. Perhaps the name is not quite accurate. Certainly the committee would investigate the effectiveness of existing anti-crime programs and treatment and rehabilitation of persons convicted of crimes. I want the joint committee to consider the possibility of making funds available to develop local anti-crime programs which are dependent on citizen participation. We must bring together the top experts in the field of criminology to determine if we need stricter parole laws; if stiffer penalties should be invoked for crimes committed with a gun, and if guidelines can be drawn up to enable judges to deal more severly with convicted criminals. We need a forum of ideas; a committee to efficiently evaluate the anti-crime legislation now in effect, then to move on to fresh approaches.

Indiana-Purdue Students To Carry Petitions To Indianapolis

FORT WAYNE — Distressed students on the Indiana - Purdue Fort Wayne Campus will carry petitions and resolutions aboard the Project Abelard Caravan which leaves here Friday to visit members of the general assembly in Indianapolis. Their purpose is to protest the slashing of operating and building funds in the budget which will be allocated to the regional campuses of both Indiana and Purdue during the next biennium. Ronald Rice, chairman of Project Abelard, said that passage of the present budget will mean: “New students cannot be accommodated in our present programs, and there can be only minimal expansion of our already overcrowded campus. Indiana and Purdue universities had requested a total cf $16.6 million for capital construction at Fort Wayne and they received $3,278,000. Also, the senior vear cannot be offered in several academic nro<?rams already initiated. and the universities here will be unable to offer competitive faculty salaries.” added, “we need the help SB more local and area citizens and organizations in writing and contacting the senators and representatives from this community.” He said the legislators should be reminded “that Indiana - Purdue Campus here operates classes from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. every weekday, with some classes meeting even on Saturdays.” “So,” Rice commented, “our facilities here are used to the fullest extent.” The Indiana - Purdue Project Abelard Caravan will leave this Friday at 9 a.m. and is scheduled to arrive at 1 p.m. Students will carry City of Fort Wayne flags as means of identification during their peaceful appearance and, if class schedules can be arranged, the University Singers will serenade the legislators on the State House steps. The event will conclude with the presentation of petitions to House and Senate leaders. BRYDEN-KNEPPER WEDDING PLANNED FOR MARCH Mrs. Sarah Ann Bryden and Master Sergeant Beverly W. Knepper have announced plans for their marriage to take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 15, in Chapel two, Robins AFB, Warner Robins, Ga. The bride-elect is the daughter of Alfred A.
