JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
SCORES FIRST IN
ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL
RIGHTS LAWS
WASHINGTON - The U.S.
Department of Justice
recorded notable achievements
in the enforcement of civil
rights laws in 1972, Attorney
General Richard G. Kleindienst
said today.
Mr. Kleindienst listed these
“Firsts” in the federal agency’s
continuing legal efforts to
insure equal justice and
opportunity for all citizens:
- The first suits against cities
to require public employers to
provide equal employment
opportunities for blacks,
Spanish-surnamed Americans
and members of other
minorities.
-- Court orders in three
landmark cases to reform
facilities and improve care for
prison inmates and mentally ill
and mentally retarded patients
of state institutions.
-- The first nationwide fair
housing suit charging
discrimination in lending
practices against American
Indians, blacks, Spanish-
surnamed persons, which was
settled by consent decree.
Eighty-six persons, a
record number, charged under
federal criminal civil rights laws
with violating the
constitutional and legal rights
of others.
- The first convictions since
the early 1960 s of migrant
farm worker crew leaders
under the peonage and
involuntary servitude laws.
An appellate court
decision recognizing for the
first time the rights of
Mexican-American students to
attend desegregated schools.
-- In the first northern
school desegregation case to
come before the Supreme
Court, the Justice Department
argued that where minority
students receive an inferior
education, expenditures should
be reallocated more fairly and
special programs should be
disigned to meet the needs of
those students.
Altogether, Attorney
General Kleindienst said, the
Justice Department filed 78
lawsuits and participated in 28
other cases challenging
discriminatory practices.
During the year, consent
decrees were obtained in 110
cases to end discriminatory
practices and create equal
opportunities for minorities.
In a year-end report
highlighting the Justice
Department’s civil rights
activities during 1972, Mr.
Kleindienst noted
advancements in these areas:
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
Sixteen cases were filed
attacking hiring and promotion
discrimination. Eight of the
cases involved discrimination
against both blacks and
Spanish-surnamed persons.
The first public employer
suits were filed against the
cities of Montgomery,
Alabama, and Los Angeles,
California. The suits charged
discrimination in public jobs in
Montgomery and in the Los
Angeles fire department. A
consent decree resolved the
Montgomery case.
FAIR HOUSING
Twelve suits were filed
against landlords and real
estate companies, and the first
suit challenging discriminatory
lending practices was brought
against Household Finance
Corporation.
Fair housing agreements
were negotiated with three
metropolitan real estate boards
in Cleveland, Ohio, New
Orleans, Louisiana, and
Columbus, Georgia.
Two cases involving the
Justice Department were
favorably resolved by the
Supreme Court.
In one case the Supreme
Court upheld a lower court
decision barring a newspaper
from printing housing
advertisements indicating a
racial preference. The Court
also ruled that white tenants of
an apartment complex have the
same right as black tenants to
sue landlords on charges of
racial discrimination
SCHOOL DESEGREGATION
The Justice Department
continued to monitor the
effectiveness of desegregation
plans in some 500 school
districts, and a number of
enforcement actions were
taken to correct problems of
discrimination.
These problems included
discriminatory demotions and
dismissals of black faculty
members, dual school bus
routes, improper student
transfers to avoid attendance in
desegregated schools, and
unlawful transfer or sale of
public school property to
private segregated schools.
A suit was filed to eliminate
the remnants of a once racially
segregated school system in
Conway County, Arkansas.
The suit noted that some black
students are bused as much as
25 miles past white schools
to attend a segregated school.
CRIMINAL ACTIONS
Eighty-six persons were
charged in indictments and
criminal informations with
attacking other persons in
violation of their constitutional
and legal rights.
Five migrant worker crew
leaders were convicted of
holding farm workers in
peonage and involuntary

servitude.
PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS
Thirty-nine suits were filed
to end racial discrimination in
restaurants, taverns, movie
theaters, bowling alleys,
skating rinks, and other places
of public accommodation.
Twenty-eight consent
decrees were obtained from
owners and operators of
establishments assuring equal
service to minorities.
VOTING RIGHTS
Almost 1,000 proposed
changes in election procedures
in areas covered by the 1965
Voting Rights Act were
reviewed by the Justice
Department.
Almost 800 changes were
approved, but objections were
made to 46 proposed changes
on the grounds that they
would have a racially
discriminatory impact.
For the first time, an
objection was raised to a
congressional redistricting plan
-for the Georgia’s Fifth
District. In addition, a suit was
filed to enjoin elections to the
Georgia House of
Representatives.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS
SERVICE
A Conflict Resolution was
launched to help communities
resolve racial crises, adding
mediation to conciliation
techniques used to settle racial
conflicts.
In addition, the Community
Relations Service worked with
local and state officials and
community groups in 44 major
cities to prevent racial crises,
an increase of 12 cities from
the year before.
Attorney General Richard
G. Kleindienst announced
Saturday that during 1972, the
Department of Justice
mounted its most intensive
campaign to date against illegal
narcotics traffickers while

HOW WEATHER AFFECTS YOUR PERFORMANCE
The young adult human being is most sexually active when
temperature remains at 65 degrees Fahrenheit. In sections of the
country where weather is exceptionally good during April and
May, there will be a temporary increase in male sperm output and
vigor, but this soon subsides as the hot summer months approach.
According to an article in the December issue of SEXOLOGY
magazine, weather has a definite effect on a person’s sex life.
“How Weather Affects Your Performance,” by Leo Rosenhouse,
states that changes in temperature or climate can cause changes in
the sexual ability of men and women.
According to a French scientist, the foehn (the “ill wind” of
the Alps) affects the health and sexual performance of more
people than does any other hot dry wind. A study of the foehn
shows that it comes early in the year, and can raise air
temperatures rather suddenly by as much at 17 degrees. The
change causes people to become feverish, tired and listless. Sexual
inclinations decrease during these periods. Sexual disturbances are
aggravated. The foehn winds have induced some men to commit
rape and others to murder.
A U.S.A. Pacific Coast counselor advises couples to forget
about June weddings and to take vows in April or May instead.
According to Mr. Rosenhouse in his SEXOLOGY article, this
advice is given to those wanting a family right away. Conception
is more likely when the weather is temperate and favorable.
Honeymooners can attest that sexual intercourse is more
enjoyable before the onset of the hot months.
When the weather turns muggy and hot in various parts of the
nation, sex crimes may jump as much as 45 percent in
communities located within the humid hot belt. Many police
departments increase patrols of parks and dark streets during
that period. Criminologists know that with a persistent 80 degrees
or more, plus high humidity increase, the incidence of rape and
other sexual offenses rises. Criminal sexual behavior is also tied
directly to the barometer. When that drops duringg hot periods
unstable people become more quarrelsome and aggressive. A
sexual deviate may act out his hostile feelings under the pressure
of such weather.
The University of Cincinnati explains that hot weather causes
tissue swellings and increases pressure within the brain and a
diminished blood flow. This prevents many people from thinking
rationally and leads them to behave out of normal character.
Thus, meteorologists not only forecast weather, they have
come to know that weather also has a decided effect on mass
behavior and personality response. They know that some weather
patterns may make many people range from being excessively
lazy to showing extra ambition. They have learned that weather
can affect the mind, the emotions, fertility, and sexual ability.
the SEXOLOGY article concludes that some readers may have
made that unhappy discovery themselves already.
stepping up its attack on
organized crime. A record
number of indictments and
convictions were returned
against organized crime figures,
and narcotics arrests increased
from fewer than 3,500 in 1971
to nearly 10,000 in 1972.
“In the past year, we have
improved our detection
programs at the nation’s
airports and moved swiftly to
prosecute aircraft hijacking
cases. I believe this caused a
sharp fall-off in hijacking in the
last half of the year.

To protect the nation’s
environment, we filed 173
criminal actions and 60 civil
suits to halt water pollution.
We filed criminal charges
against a record number of
persons for violating the civil
rights of others, and we have
continued our legal efforts to
improve minority
opportunities for employment,
housing, education, access to
public facilities, and voting.
And we are finally seeing an
end to the nation’s spiraling
crime rate,” Kleindienst said.
