A package of legislation to reform our "increasingly ineffective" criminal justice system, was urged recently by Bernard Willow, independent Democratic candidate for state senator from the nth district.

Among Willow's proposals were severe limitations on the granting of "continuances," the random assignment of criminal cases among judges, the assignment of more judges to the county criminal court, the impanel- ment of another grand jury, and statutory designation of minimum mandatory sentences for certain crimes, including a denial of parole for repeated offenses. "The problem is that there no longer exists any real deterrent to crime. Let's admit it: crime is profitable. And punishment for crime is minimal indeed, almost a temporary inconvenience. For the reasonably smart criminal, apprehension is rare," Willow said.

As senator, Willow said he would: --Introduce legislation to fund and accelerate the Illinois penal system construction program. --Introduce legislation to place a limitation on the number of continuances granted in any criminal matter. Willow cited statistics compiled by the Citizens Action Program (CAP) which showed that, in county criminal courts, the more serious the crime, tht greater the number of continuances. And the greater the number of continuances, the greater the tikllhood of a "not guilty" verdict, he said. According to CAP figures, there is an average of 9.3 continuances per case, with murder cases averaging continuances.

or their attorneys should not have the prerogative of choosing the judge they wish to appear before," Willow said, arguing that certain judges have developed reputations for leniency or harshness in sentencing practices, "I will introduce legislation requiring the random assignment of cases to be judged," be said. --Introduce legislation to shift judges from other non- criminal divisions to the criminal division of the Cook County Circuit Court. There are now 21 judges in the criminal division. --Introduce legislation to impanel a second county grand jury to ease the burden of handing down criminal indictments. Crime tak force sets first meeting The first meeting of the newly-formed nth Legislative Task Force on Crime is set for Saturday, Feb.

21 at 11 a.m. at the Henry Honack Post VFW, N. Pu- lasbi Ave. The first meeting will attempt to define the scope of problems and tne programs in operation now, according to chairman Sgt. Paul Jankowski of the Chicago Police Department.
