Admitted Killers Go Free NEW YORK AP) Some admitted killers and rapists walk the nation's streets today because of a Supreme Court decision sharply limiting the use of confessions in trials. Police and prosecutors say they are handcuffed. State legislators talk of new laws to redress the balance of justice, but concede that such statutes might be declared by the highest court to be unconstitutional. A presidential crime commission studied the problem and seven of its 19 members said the situation calls for amendment of the Constitution. A Senate Judiciary subcommittee studying the implications of the court's 5 to 4 decision last June 13 has received similar suggestions.

But some lawyer witnesses opposed a constitutional amendment, saying a future court might soften the ruling. Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark told a House Judiciary subcommittee he was against any such attempt to override the court. "I doubt that anything approaching a case has been made for that at this time," said Clark.

Rep. Robert Taft R-Ohio, introduced in the Hotise a bill authorizing the appointment of "masters of examination" to supervise interrogation of suspects by federal law enforcement agencies. He said it could serve as a model for state legislatures to consider in revising criminal codes. "We must nol be faced with the spectacle of the acknowledged criminal freed merely because a policeman is unable to guess how five judges of the Supreme Court will vote on a particular issue," said Taft. Concern over the situation came to a focus on Feb.

20 ivhen Jose Suarez, 22, a New York factory worker, was set free despite his confession that he slew his wife and five children. Across the country, there have been many similar cases involving murder, robbery rape or kidnaping. The Supreme Court decision came on an appeal by Ernest Miranda, 26. He was convicted of kidnaping an 18-year-old girl from a street in Phoenix, Ariz, driving her into the desert and raping her. In ordering a new trial, the majority opinion written by Chief Justice Earl Warren said Miranda's, constitutional rights had been violated and laid down this set of guidelines: "The prosecution may not use statements, whether exculpatory or inculpatory, stemming from custodial interrogation of the defendants unless it demonstrates the use of procedural safeguards effective to secure the privilege against self-incrimination.

"Prior to any questioning the person must be warned that he has a right to remain silent that any statement he does make may be used as evidence against him, and that he has a right to the presence of an attorney either retained or appointed." Justice Michael Kern of the New York State Supreme Court decreed that by these rules Suarez must go free. His confession was the only evidence against him. Said Justice Kern: "Even an animal such as this one, and 1 believe this is insulting'to the animal kingdom, must be protected with all the legal safeguards. "It makes one's blood run cold and any decent human being's stomach turn to let a thing like this out on the street" street." Suarez was the fourth man freed in New York murder cases since the beginning of 1967 on the ground that they had not been advised of their right to counsel before they confessed. Similar cases have been reported across the country.

On March 16, 1966, Paul Wightman, 71, a clerk at a hotel on the edge' of Seattle's skid row, was shot and killed in a $30-robbcry. Four days later Harry laverne Van Devanter 21 was arrested. Police said he made a voluntary statement admitting the shooting and told them where to find the pistol. On June 30, citing the Miranda guidelines, a judge suppressed the alleged statement and dismissed the case. Dist.

Atty. Arlen Specter of Philadelphia predicted that two dozen confessed slayers would escape punishment in that city this year because of the Miranda ruling. Said Specter: "I think we ought to stop complaining about it and do our best within the limits of the Miranda rule until we have a chance to rclitigate it by taking another case up to the Supreme Court on the same subject." Charles E. Moylan state's attorney for Baltimore, said he saw no chance that state legislation wouW be effective "since no single act of a single legislature could affect the U.S. Supreme Court." Moylan noted that a bill proposed by Sen.

John L. Me CI el- Ian, chairman at the Senate Judiciary subcommittee, to admit voluntary confessions as evidence would apply only to federal courts.

military operation of the Vietnamese a r--Operation Junction City, in the tangled jungle of War Zone C--has been a marked success, despite the loss of 143 American lives, the man in charge of the opera'tion said today. "lam satisfied. The measurable results are pretty doggone good," Lt Gen. J. 0.

Seaman, commander of U.S. Field Forces told a news conference. The month-long operation is being conducted by 45 000 U.S. troops in Tay Ninh Province. In addition to the 143 dead, it has also cost the Americans 659 wounded.

India's Food Wasted By Rats and Rot ROME (AP) Half the food produced in India is wasted by rats, rot, birds and insects the U.N. Food and Agriculture'Or- ganization reports. It estimates the world average loss of food to pests is at least 20 per cent. The wastage is greatest in regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America where hunger already is the worst. Even at 20 per cent the loss means this: where there should be enough food for five persons to eat one will starve.

Or, if the available food is divided equally all five will be undernourished. When the loss reaches 50 pet- cent the results become starkly tragic. The estimate of India's loss was given to the FAO regional conference for the Far East by the Indian government. That loss, in financial terms is equal to about twice India's' national budget. Part of the loss comes while crops are still In the fields, but the greatest waste is during storage and transport after the harvest.

Even in the United States where food protection and storage systems arc highly advanced, rats alone destroy 5.3 million tons of grain a year. Viet Cong and North Vietnamese units have lost 1,243 men killed, scores of hidden enemy base camps destroyed and a soundproof recording studio and several major hospital installations uncovered, Seaman reported. The main target has been the Communist command center for Vietnam believed to be north of Tay Ninh City. Some of the Communist forces toiown to be in the area "went into Cambodia, 1 am willing to venture, even though I can't prove it," the three-star general said. Others moved out to the east in small groups.

"We went into a Viet Cong sanctuary and have stayed there. There may be some base camps we didn't discover, but the over-all effect on the enemy must be pretty disheartening Seaman declared. The U.S. forces have not located the main enemy command center. "But we are certain some of the facilities we found were part of it Seaman said.

Seaman said he thought the Viet Cong would try to return to the War Zone area after the operation is eventually terminated. "But we will be back there too. We don't intend to leave that area alone," he said. Envoy Lodge to Get Troubleshooting Job GUAM Henry Cabot Lodge is getting a new diplomatic post as ambassador at large. of State Dean Husk told newsmen today that President Johnson will nominate the Wien and NCA Merger Request To CAB Today Sigurd Wien, presient of Wien Air Alaska Airlines, said this morning that the proposedmerg- er of Wien and Northern Consolidated Airlines was approved by respective boards of directors of the two airlinesover the weekend.

Wien added that Raymond 1. Petersen, president of Northern Consolidated, left for Washington, D.C., yesterday, where he will file tile merger application with the Civil Aeronautics Board in behalf of the two airlines today.

Lodge thus will change places with Ambassador at Large Ellsworth Bunkdor, Lodge's successor in Saigon. Rusk said fxxige will work fulitime and will be much involved with Vietnamese and southeast Asian affairs but will be available for trouble shooting chores anywhere in the world. Lodge, 04, has served two terms as ambassador to Saigon. He was first appointed by President John F. Kennedy In 1963 and stayed until June 1964 when he returned to the United States to join moderate Republican forces in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Barry Goldwater from getting the party's presidential nomination.

President Johnson appointed him ambassador to South Vietnam again in 1965 and he returned to Saigon Aug. 19 of that year. Before he left Saigon for the Guam conference, newsmen asked him whether he planned to join in the 19G8 presidential campaign, possibly as an adviser on Vietnam to Michigan's Gov. George liomney. Lodge said, "I do not intend to get involved." Pacifists Risk Trip To North HONG KONG (A!) Seven American pacifists were warned officially today that they will be breaking U.S.

laws if they sail their yacht into Haiphong with medical supplies for North Vietnam. Dr. Earle Reynolds. 59. owner of the yacht Phoenix and spokesman for the group, replied that the pacifist group would attempt the trip anyway "for humanitarian reasons." The warning was issued by U.S.

consulate officials who also informed the group Uieir plan would take them into a hazardous area which they would enter at their own risk. The Phoenix, Reynolds (old newsmen, would carry a $10,000 worth of medical supplies contributed by American Quakers to North Vietnamese victims of American bombing. A U.S. consulate general official told tlie group tliat their passports were not valid for travel to or through North Vietnam or Communist China and that "penalties existed" if they violated thelaw. He also said it is unlawful for any U.S.

national to "engage in any unlicensed transactions with North Vietnam, including furnishing of any goods or services" to sail a U.S. documented ship to North Vielnam or to take on cargo destined for North Vietnam. In his reply, Reynolds said that a portion of the U.S. taxes paid by members of the group had been used to purchase bombs being dropped on North Vietnam. "Therefore," he said, "we consider it a humanitarian duty to deliver medical supplies for the aid of victims of those bombs." Reynolds told newsmen the Phoenix expected to leave in midweek for Haiphong and that the voyage would take four or five days.

Bob Blodgett told the Senate this morning after members passed the vote pre-registration legislation, 14-6.

"Anyone who thinks pre-reg- istratlon is going to pass In the House this session is imagining things." A poll of the Fairbanks delegation in the House appears to bear out Blodgett's forecast. "I'm opposed to pre-registration even if it is the governor's bill, and I ttiink there's a fair chance of stopping it," predicted Rep. Jules Wright, R-Falrbanks. "I'm going to try to beat It," agreed Hep. Ed Orbeck, D-Fairbanks.

"I don't think we need it and I don't think we can afford it." "At the moment I'm leaning against it. I'm apprehensive that the measure will have adverse affect on voter turnout, and I consider (hat more important than any other consideration," said Hep. Terry Miller, ii-Fairbanks. Itep, Mike Bradner, D-Fairbanks, painted out this bill is currently being labeled an "anti- native bill." "In the end those who call it that arc liable to find out that the villages will make considerable effort to register and are proud to cast their vote. I don't feel it will hurt the northern villages as much as some, but In rural fishing communities it will probably cause a problem.

I am against prc-reglstration," Bradner declared. Hep. Donald Young, H-Falr- banks, says he is ''uncommitted." "I haven't seen the amended bill but I favor the pro-registration concept," said Hep. Tury Anderson, Il-Fairbanks. "I'm positively for the pre- reslslralion concept," declared Hep.

John Holm. li-Fairbanks, and Holm will have an excellent chance to support it. House Speaker Bill Boardman, R- Kctchlkan, said he will assign the bill to Hie State Affairs Committee, of which Holm Is chairman. Under the prc-rcgistratlon measure itself, CSSB94, persons qualified to vote would have to prc-roglsler prior to the primary and general elections of 1968, unless they voted In the 1966 general election. Hie measure provides for automatic registration of 19GG voters, but they, as well as new voters, wouldbe required to complete registration forms either prior to the 19C8 primary or general election or at the time they cast ballots in those elections.
