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 WMq < S Congressman Andrew Young will speak at commemoration service. 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 The Augusta News-Review - January 11, 1973, FROM THE PILL BOX |IK3M Father David C. Street! AUGUSTA AREA PLANNED R - ' parenthood 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. Page 3 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.
