Law enforcement officers
cannot function properly unless
they have the support of all
citizens, James McGovern
executive secretary of the Atlanta
Crime Commission, said Sunday
in a Law Day sermon at St.
Anthony’s.
McGovern and members of
the parish who are policemen
took part in the observance.
Father R. Donald Kieman,
associate chaplain of the
International Association of
Chiefs of Police, said the Mass.
McGovern, a Catholic layman
and former FBI agent, said, “Our
complex society has thousands of
laws governing our conduct. The
agencies who enforce the law
cannot do it without your
support.
“With a rising crime rate, we
often let our law enforcement
agencies be unfairly attacked.
Law officers have broad
responsibilities and must have
knowledge of the law as it relates
to persons and a knowledge of
human relations. They are
worthy of your respect and
support.”
The speaker said there is no
need to remind officers of their
responsibilities to the law. “They
do their jobs through dedicated
service. Citizens, however, cannot
rid themselves of responsibility
toward the law. They must report
law violations, cooperate with
agencies by information, serve as
witnesses and serve on juries.”
He said that Christ said the
one great law was love God and
neighbor. “We cannot violate the
law and love God. We cannot love
God by violating a person or the
property of another.”
McGovern asked, “Do we only
obey laws that we recognize?
We are obliged to respect ali laws
on the books and if we become
selective we face anarchy. Laws
should be changed through
recognized methods.”
Lector at the Law Day Mass
was Capt. John C. McEntire while
Detective and Mrs. John Paul
Fitzgerald presented the gifts.
Ushers were Capt. Howard
Baugh, Lt. Buddy Whalen,
Detective Frank Paschal and John
C. Boylce, administrative
assistant to the solicitor general
of Fulton County.
PLOT TO KILL
ARCHBISHOP
IS REPORTED
‘ PARIS '(NCJ The existence
of a plot to kill Archbishop
Helder Pessoa Camara of Olinda
and Recife, Brazil, was confirmed
by Msgr. Emerson Negreiros of
the Brazilian archdiocese of
Niteroi, according to a report in
LeMonde, Paris daily.
Msgr. Negreiros said that a
Recife priest, whose name was
not given, informed him three
months ago of a conspiracy to
eliminate Archbishop Camara,
who has been an outspoken
opponent of social injustice in
poverty- stricken northeastern
Brazil. The priest, Msgr. Negreiros
said, does not share the
archbishop’s ideas, but “fears for
his life.”
“The elimination of
Archbishop Helder Camara would
not be accomplished by a direct
attack, but by means of a
simulated accident,” Msgr.
Negreiros said. He said that the
assassination was to be executed
by an organization in the service
of “economic groups.”
As soon as he knew of the
plot, Msgr. Negreiros “wrote to
Archbishop Camara to urge him
to be on his guard.” Afterward,
Msgr. Negreiros said, Archbishop
Camara “received every day
numerous anonymous letters
containing threats of death.”
On the same day that Msgr.
Negreiros spoke in Niteroi,
Archbishop Camara, arriving in
Rio de Janeiro after a trip to
Europe, denied that he had said,
during the trip, that his life was
in danger. But the archbishop
admitted saying that he
recognized that it would be as
easy to kill him as it had been to
kill the Rev. Martin Luther King
Jr.
Archbishop Camara said that
nothing justifies taking security
measures in Recife to protect
him. He announced that he will
go to Canada at the end of May,
to Vienna in mid-June, and then,
in August, to the United States
for a world congress of Pax
Romana, the international
Catholic organization of students
arid intellectuals.

Racist Society Makes
Police ‘Scapegoats’
NEW YORK (RNS) - The police are being made the “scapegoats
and fall guys of a racist society” when they are called in to “clean
up” after ghettos explode, a noted inner-city pastor said here.
The Rev. Howard Moody, pastor of Judson Memorial church in
New York’s Greenwich Village, made the comment in attacking the
“fundamental hypocrisy of law and order advocacy and law
enforcement.”
“Despite statutes and executive orders,” he continued, “there are
not enough law enforcement agencies to give teeth to the laws passed
- resulting in an administrative nullification of those laws.”
“We know how to pass laws without meaning because we don’t
provide the money and machinery to enforce them,” he charged.
Moody said it is evident that “we care about enforcement of laws,
but only certain laws.
“That’s why so much civil rights legislation is considered by black
militants to be a sham - and rightly so.”
The pastor of the American Baptist-United Church of Christ
congregation outlined for 264 clergy and lay participants in a
workshop on the urban crisis what he considered “indices” to the
racial crisis in New York.
