Washington <jr F
BY REP. JACK BRINKLE\ Ij jV A
Third District Congressman J
It was shocking to learn that during normal times in
1968 there was an average of 875 serious crimes com
mitted in Washington, D.C. each week. It was "not
surprising that the rate shot up to 1,034 per week after
the riots in April of that year.
This graphic lesson cries out for national attention;
a policy of acquiescence, the sugar-coated definition
of which is “restraint,” does not save lives - it
costs lives! The tragedy is heightened when the
lives saved have been those of the criminal element,
and those taken have been the lives of innocent
victims.
The policy of “Restraint” was sought to be justi
fied by Washington officials by pointing to the minimal
loss of life during the riots. Figures show that only
eleven deaths occurred as a result of this policy. But
then, almost immediately, the second chapter was
written - 159 additional murders, rapes, arsons, rob
beries, and other felonies per week.
During the riots we were treated to the spectacle
of mass looting and burning while the police stood
silently by UNDER ORDERS not to take human lives.
This attitude is reflected in the Washington headline,
“Don’t Resist in Hold-up!” It encourages the crimi
nal and nurtures the idea that we are operating under
the rule of the jungle rather than the rule of law.
Nation-wide, people are fed up with pampering law
breakers - the public right demands that criminals be
dealt with swiftly by courts with backbone, unencum
bered by reversals of many appellate tribunals more
concerned with a perfect trial than a fair trial.
Why?
Because today, two years later, the count is 1,245
major crimes PER WEEK in Washington, D.C., an up
wards differential of 370 PER WEEK from 1968, and
in many other big cities the percentage increase -
including bombings - is equivalent.

Youths participating in the
program will attend an orienta

learn what is expected of them
and some skills they will need.
In return for job placement the
young people will be asked to

Coordinating this volunteer
effort will be the tusk of a
Robins AFB organization, the
Americans In Action, a group
which has already expended
considerable effort making im

of Warner Robins. Everything
from community cleanup to
house painting and clothes
collection may be part of the
volunteer contributions.
The Rent-A-Kid program,
pronounced “a great idea” by
Vince Moyer of the Warner Ro

also avidly supported by the

June 8 - Sept. 5 with applies-
