A. D. Esteblished March 1, 1882 Our 82nd Yaar "Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required." Luke Work with the Police A recent letter to the editor, from a woman who said she had been shocked and shaken by a man's brutal treatment of his stepson in her neighborhood, showed how the authority of the police, in such a situation, is often overlooked and unappreciated. A newspaper has no authority and neither has a there are people who do have such authority, for the community has the power to protect all its members, including children, from unwarranted assaults and bad treatment. This is the power that rests with the police and with the whole structure of law enforcement agencies.

Anyone who sees that the law is being broken, through the theft or destruction of property, or the mistreatment of children, or in any other way, should give his information and his suspicions to the police. It is their duty, then, to investigate the circumstances and find out whether the information is correct. One who gives information to the police, if he acts conscientiously and on the basis of the facts as he knows them, is performing the act of a good citizen, interested in maintaining an orderly and decent community. No community can be orderly and decent unless most of the citizens are that type, willing to do their share, not only by obeying the rules themselves, but by helping to curb the lawlessness of those who disobey. The police cannot act in any case unless they can collect convincing evidence.

Police cannot and do not arrest anyone without reason; any honest citizen, who believes he has knowledge of something wrong, can turn his information over to the police and let them take it from there. Afterwards, however, he is not justified in telling his friends that "there's no use telling the police, because they don't do anything." The police will investi- 11 gate.

The police suffer from two consequences of the ordinary citizen's general ignorance of the law. Too many people think that, as soon as they tell the police something, the officers can take immediate and stringent action. On the other hand, there are also too many people who will not back up their own complaints, either because they do not have the facts straight, or because they get cold feet. But the police must depend upon the cooperation of the public if they are to succeed in their task of keeping the community safe and law- abiding. They can detect some crimes by their own alertness, but most must be called to their attention by good citizens, who report wrong-doing and help the officers to get the facts about it.

No one should hesitate to tell the police when he has knowledge of something that should not be happening here. Engagement rings and acts of thoughtfulnefts are alike in that even small ones attract attention. Every politician needs to toss into the ring, one to talk through, and an old one to eat. Cufs in the BMEWS Cables Tht latest furore in Washington is over the odd breaks which have- occurred recently in the cable which leads to the early warning radar, in Greenland. That is the system on which North America depends for warning of a hostile missile attack.

There are two mysteries about these ominous acts of undersea sabotage. One mystery is who cut the cables. The other is how did anyone know where the cables were. The second mystery, however, is not so mysterious. It appears that U.

S. Navy hydrographic charts axactly where the deepsea cables were laid have been made available to the public. We know well that anything that is made available to the American public is also available to the Russians. As, to the first mystery, it it hard to tee who would go to the trouble and expense of cutting the cable, unless it was the Russians. And, if they are as peaceful in their motive! and intentions as they always say they are, why should they cut the wires to a warning system which does not threatea them, but only represents of American money if tha Soviets really do not have any ideas of attacking us.

Cautious Pentagon spokesmen atjiy they are not sure the cables out. No doubt it is possible tkat undersea communications, (or tha radar system or for CM break accidentally. Such breaks, of course, have occurred. It seems hardly likely, however, that there should be a sudden rash of such breaks. There seems to be a record of at least eight cable breaks in a single year, and six breaks since October.

At the same time, we have heard numerous reports of Russian trawlers maneuvering around in the areas where the cables lie, and the record shows odd consistencies between the presence of the trawlers and the reports of cable breaks. It seems inconceivable, however, that the Pentagon, which is very fussy about "news leaks" that may embarrass its officials, could be so lax about real honest-to-gosh security, that it would release, for public distribution, maps showing the enemy just where to go to cut the missile warning communication cable. That such a thing could happen is much more ominous, in its way, than the fact that, if the Russians guessed where the cables were, they could be expected to cut them, if possible. The two mysteries give us two other early warnings, which we should recognize and act on. They warn that our security methods must be pretty lax if they are in the hands of people who don't recognize that the radar cables to Greenland qualify as a military secret.

They also warn that, if the Russians think it is worthwhile to cut the cable, they also think it will be worthwhile to stage a missile attack against us if they ever aan achieve complete surprise. WASHINGTON The Maritime Commission is carefully watching the ocean shipping rates on baby carriages, but not on Steel, the flabbergasted Joint Economic Committee of Congress learned the other day. "We found that the loading of baby carriages in the United Kingdom was fantastically low," testified Otto J. Kirse, of the Maritime Commission's Division of Foreign Tariffs. "So you have spent your great efforts and zeal on the comparative costs of loading and unloading baby carriages and have neglected the question of steel?" asked Sen.

Paul Douglas. who is chairman of the Joint Economic Committee. "The baby carriage matter was brought to our attention," explained Kirse lamely. Sen. Douglas, chairman of the committee, was probing the ef steel in the United States and whether or not the recent steel bike was part of a concerted conspiracy by all the steel companies.

During the course of this probe he was surprised to find that American firms exporting steel pay twice as much for overseas freight as foreign shippers pay to ship ateel into the in the same ships and between the same ports. In other words, shipping rates are stacked against American Steel exporters. "Have you ever thought it was part of your job to see that there was not discrimination against American exports?" asked Senator Douglas. "For some time the Maritime Commission and its predecessor agency has been concerned over this problem. It was brought to their attention by Mr.

Celler in his investigation," replied Lloyd Tibbott, now director of the Maritime Commission's office of International Affairs. But William A. Stigler, director of the Bureau of Interior Regulation. aaid the commission was understaffed, had "less than people" to do this work. "Why that is an army." said Chairman Douglas.

"This committee has only five, and they are busy on other things. You just have a superabundance of staff." Stigler then suggested the fl'-ng of thousands of was a problem, but Senator Douglas was adamant.

The committee voted unanimously to write President Kennedy calling attention to the "lack of action on the part of the Mari- time'Commission. Nixon in New York Now that the Nixons are moving to New York, the ex-vice president might take Dale Carnegie's course in "How to Win Friends and Influence People." When he first arrived to get settled, Nixon asked the real estate firm of Douglas Elliman and Company to help find a house. A member of that firm is Robert Lindsay, a friend of Col. Jock Lawrence, one of General Eisenhower's wartime and SHAPE aides, who only recently had lost his wife. So Mr.

Lindsay asked Lawrence if he would consider leasing his large and unusual New York town house, since the. Nixon's were "frantic about finding a place." Colonel Lawrence was reluctant to give up a place that held so many cherished memories, but said that if it would help the Nixons he might consider it. So the agent made a mid-afternoon appointment and Col. Lawrence canceled all engagements in order to be on hand to greet the former vice president and Mrs. Nixon.

More than an hour after the appointment time, the real estate agent phoned to say that the Nix- Republican and a staunch supporter of the Ike-Nixon ticket. Won't be anymore if Nixon is on the ticket. Toxpfcyers Rep John Rooney, the Brooklyn Democrat who has a passion for prodding the U. S. Information Agency is on the warpath again.

Rooney is raising a ruckus over 35 toy models of the nuclear- powered merchant ship the Savannah. They cost the taxpayer $25,500 or $700 apiece, though only three feet long. The models were presented to foreign dignitaries but the Congressman from Brooklyn wants to know why they cost so much. U. S.

Information officials point out that the Commerce Department paid $3,800 for only two models, the equivalent of $1,900 apiece or three times what USIA paid for them But the disgruntled Congressman from Brooklyn insists they weren't worth more than $25 each. Rooney is also on the warpath over a survey conducted by the U.S. Information Agency in Europe in which 2,416 Europeans in France, Italy, and West Germany were aksed what they though of American women. The unflattering results'cost the taxpayers $1,467.85 and showed that Europeans believe American women are spoiled, lazy, and Manv congressmen figure 'hey could have arrived at the same conclusvm without taking the survey.

In another part of the column, however, he claims that a 12-year- old son of a friend of his was called as a witness in a civil law suit in Lock Haven, Pa. His report of the incident is as follows: "The opposing lawyer, a pompous orator of the old school, condescendingly asked: 'Now, Sonny, remember that you are under oath. Did your daddy tell you what to say when you got up 'Yes, sir', the boy answered nervously.

The lawyer looked meaningfully at the judge and smiled in anticipation of uncovering a bit of unethical procedure.
