This is a case involving a rapist who confessed to this dastardly crime while being held by the police of the District of Columbia. The Court let this rapist go free, not because he was not guilty, but because the police held him too long between arrest and arraignment and asked him questions after he Speaking practically, the Mallory Decision makes police work impossible. The police will have no techniques avallable to them to hold suspicious persons. It is growing increasingly difficult to fight crime, particularly in our big cities where the nature of crime has changed from robberies, burglaries, arson and lar- cenies, to juvenile and sex crimes, including rape and murder related to rape and fetishism. In cases of this nature, the police usually are called in too late into the situation, when clues are cold and the case has to be built block by block out of suspicions and general information. Under the Mallory Decision, 1t is likely that the police will have fewer weapons at their disposal. They will be hampered by criminal lawyers who will employ both the Jencks and the Mallory Decisions against thet. Only “hot house" lawyers could have handed down such a decision as the Mallory. , ## # Sound American doctrine accepts the view that the defendant is entitled to know the nature of the felonies or misdemeanors with which he is charged; to be faced by his accusers; and to have a trial in an open court before a jury of his peers and represented by counsel. But this does not mean that the police power of government should be abolished and that government should have no means to protect the life and property of its people. Such a course is anarchy. Only Pharisaic mentalities, living in a vacuum, could believe in such an anarchy. ### IN JUST A MOMENT, I'LL, BE BACK WITH YOU. ## # The Wisconsin election to fill the Senate seat of the late Joe McCarthy was won by the Democrats in an astonishing upset. Walter Kohler, who had been Governor of Wisconsin for three terms, who had the support of President Eisenhower and who has been regarded as an Eisenhower man, was roundly defeated. It was a defeat for Eisenhower and his Modern Republicanism. It means that enough Republicans in Wisconsin voted Democratic or did not vote at all to make the difference, The ghost of Joe McCarthy walked in that election. ### THANK YOU. THIS IS GEORGE SOKOLSKY. GOOD NIGHT. -oo000- (>
