Come "If you have ground floor windows or '-accessible windows that can be reached by a ladder (or windows just below a roof), you should have bars, an accordion gate, or a heavy mesh screen which can be opened only from the inside." Twice the DA's men asked the judges to revoke Malone's probation, and twice they were refused. The first refusal came from Judge Bernard Glickfeld, and his role in this case provides an interesting aside.

It was Glickfeld who had put Malone on probation in the first place, for a narcotics offense. He had the option of making it a felony or a misdemeanor. He made it a misdemeanor. Then he used the fact that it was only a misdemeanor as a reason for refusing to revoke probation. At that point, Carrizales, the uncle, began to give up hope of ever understanding how justice works.

But he kept trying. Last week Judge Lawrence Mana, who comes from the same political hatchery as Glickfeld, also refused to revoke probation. "But, your honor, the man did stab another man to death," remonstrated assistant DA Albert Collins. At that remark the defense attorney "Frankly, I'm shocked to hear about corruption in military clubs. General I thought all they offered was girls, liquor and poker games!" The way people bandy about the term law and order, one would think that President Nixon's "silent majority" are clean-living, law-abiding folks quivering in fear of a "loud minority" of, criminals.

It is comforting to think that. It is "self-righteous. It Is also, apparently, wrong. Looking back on a report by the President's (Johnson Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, exactly the opposite ratio exists in America: We have a great mass of crime-committers, and a small bunch of good guys. That committee, headed by Nicholas DeB, Katzenbach.

revealed nearly three years ago that "Most Americans, when they are asked, remember having committed offenses for which they might have been sentenced, had they been A study, dealing with criminal behavior by adults, involved an across the land investigation of nearly 1700 mature persons 1020 males and 670 females. These people were asked which of 49 offenses including felonies and misdemeanors (other than traffic offenses) they had committed. A whopplngly naughty 91 percent of the respondents admitted having committed one or more offenses for which they might have received jail or prison terms. Thirteen percent of the men admitted to grand larceny, 26 percent to auto theft, 17 percent to burglary! Sixty-four percent of the males and 27 percent of the females said they'd committed at least one felony 1 The committee called such persons "Part of a. 'hidden offender group." In other words, the "silent majority" may have a good deal to remain silent about.

They say Marcus Malone stabbed Edward Araido to death. Whether it was murder or self defense or something in between is a matter for the courts to decide. Right now he's charged with murder. But the way the judges are puttering around, Malone, now a 25 year old musician, will be ready for the last chorus of Medicare before the case comes to trial. That doesn't bother Malone a bit, because In the meantime he's a free man.

It did bother the dead man's uncle, James Carrizales of Mill Valley, who couldn't understand how justice works in San Francisco. Amido was stabbed Jan. 5 and died Jan. 27. That's 10 months ago.

The case first came up in Superior Court on April Fool's Day. Since then there have been 20 count 'em, 20 hearings. But no trial date has been set. "We are begging to go to trial," said Thomas Norman of the DA's office. "The defense is delaying." AS A RULE of thumb, delay 'helps the defense.

Damaging witnesses die, drift away, forget. And since the defendant is free pending trial, there's simply no reason for his attorney to rush things. So there have been, as I said, 20 hearings, so far, on challenges, motions and requests for postponements, with no trial date in sight. To the dead youth's uncle, Carrizales, who goes to each of these hearings hoping to see how justice works, it Is a disheartening experience. When, he wonders, will it end? There's a simple way the judges could put a stop to this procrastination.

They could say 10 months is enough delay and put Malone in jail till the trial starts. That would be simple to do, too, because he was on probation for another offense when he got into his present trouble. It isn't an unprecedented thing to revoke probation when a man has been charged with murder. But Carrizales, sitting there in court, has learned that isn't how San Francisco's judges regard justice. Bob Cotisidine An Easy Living launched a protest salted with aggrieved-sarcasm, or so it seemed to the uncle.

SUDDENLY Carrizales couldn't swal-' low any his trips to the hospital while his nephew lay dying, all his trips to the court in search of justice, the indifference of the judges and now this seeming mockery of his nephew's death that the judge did nothing to stop it was too much. From his spectator's seat Carrizales did something awful. He spoke up in court. "It's true, he did stab a man to death," he. WHEN riding alone in your car, always keep all doors locked and as many windows as possible rolled all the way op.

'If you must have a window open for ventilation, keep it rolled down only a couple of inches. Keep a "weapon" on the seat beside you; a tire iron or hammer is good. Try never to board an elevator without a friend. Never go alone to a basement laundry area except in midday. When walking, carry a long hatpin jab it a sharp tool, an electric shock rod, an umbrella with a metal tip, or a section of newspaper rolled up (must be at least 30 pages), to protect against disaster.

If you follow all the advice in this book, you will be as safe and hermetically 7 sealed as a prisoner on death row. Unfor- tunately, your outlook on life may also be the same as his. Dick Nolan is on vacation said. It must have been an awful thing, from the way Judge Mana reacted. Judge Mana, who could see no reason to lock up a defendant in a murder trial, threatened to lock up Carrizales for contempt of court.

That was last week. This week there was another hearing, and still no trial date was set. But Carrizales kept very quiet, because now he knows how justice works in San Francisco. THE LATEST PRINTING of the pock-etbook titled "How to Protect Yourself on Book Corner The Tough Way Joe Levine, who turned the make-believe of films into the reality of a $40 million sale of his studio-less company, takes a middleground view of the current dialog raging between the motion picture exhibitors and the champions of pay-TV. "Our industry is not dying," he told the New York Sales Executive Club the other day.

"We are on the threshold of the greatest upsurge our business has ever seen, backed as we are by technological advances pay-TV, free TV, cable TV and cassettes. These alone, even without theater distribution, will open the floodgates of untold millions of dollars for those companies which have carefully nurtured their libraries of films." Levine, who once bought an Italian picture named for $125,000 and spent $1,650,000 advertising it the day he mass-released it through the world, sees a day when a $10 million film will return the entire production cost on pay-TV and the other electronic boons in a single night. Speaking of the ever-changing trends in movies, the producer of "The Graduate" said: "In a speech last month, Father Sullivan, head of the National Catholic Office for Motion Pictures said, 'What I wouldn't give to turn back the clock to where all I had to contend with was Joe Levine's so-called risque He meant 'dirty pictures.1 "What he was talking about was Sophia Loren's striptease in a film called 'Yesterday, Today and Sophia took off her stocking and did a small wiggle. What's so bad about that? Today pictures like that could be shown at pink teas, or in Sunday schools. Sydney J.

Harris Now the Assumption Gap New 'Merchants of Death' In New York, Prague, Paris and Ber- lin, Spender talked with students who felt they were on the verge of creating a new world and came away with a sense of disquiet. lie has no advice to offer student radi- cals, no theory of how to avoid the excesses of radical political action, but he cannot suppress his sense that the students are innocent: they do not know the world nor themselves. Spender's short, intelligent book is marred by minor errors but is one of the i best on what students think. In the end he hesitates to condemn them, but fears that in the passion of their discontent they will waken the police state which exists in the darker part of every nation's heart. Thomas Powers I'p The Ivy Ladder, by Norman Run- nion (Doubleday, $4.95) One of the favorite targets of the jibe-makers in recent years has been the academic rat race and the follies of the campus.

In some cases, our rationale for this wholesale merchandising of weapons is that we are trying to "stabilize" a situation and help maintain an equilibrium that will prevent war. But this has never worked, and never will; since both sides are provided with weapons, it merely escalates the hostilities.

All major nations are equally guilty of this traffic; some do it for profit, some for mistaken notions of "balance of power," and some for its pure troublemaking potential. "THE WAR BUSINESS" is an ugly book to read, in the sense that a suppurating wound is an ugly thing to look at but turning our eyes away to lovelier prospects will only speed the moment when death comes to the patient; and, of course, the "patient" in this book is the entire human race. It is not evil and greedy men, but governments themselves, that sustain and replenish the dangerously high level of weaponry all over the world, and by so doing make a mockery of the "law and order" they preach for domestic consumption only. When I was growing up, between the First and Second World we knew all about the "merchants of death" those shadowy and sinister figures like Krupp and Zaharoff, who made and sold arms to any nation that could afford them. We naively thought, at the time, that if such men and their companies could be prevented from turning a profit on weapons of mass destruction, we might help the world along the bumpy road toward disarmament and eventual peace.

Such men and their companies no longer exercise the power and influence they once had; instead, their place has been taken by the nations of the world themselves. All of us today, through our governments on all sides of all curtains, are the Krupps and Zaharoffs of modern conventional warfare. THIS IS the inescapable conclusion from reading George Thayer's thoroughly documented book, "The War Business," which shows how governments themselves have taken over the international trade in armaments, and how billions of dollars a year in arms are sold (or even given away) by so-called "peace-loving" coun Like Father, Like Son Like Hell! By Robert R. Hansel (Scabury Press. $3.93) Hansel has written a little book about "why young people today are so alienated from their society and their parents." For what people have been calling the Generation Gap he has a different definition.

"The real gap," he says, "affects our entire society, and individuals of every age level find themselves on either side of a rift created by their logical or emotional attachment to a set of assumptions belonging either to the old consensus or the new." So he calls it the Assumption Gap. People of all ages, he argues, are divided between the Settled and the Searching. The Settled people are pragmatic, materialistic, and pursue success and the dominance of the established order. The Searching people are humanistic, eager for change and hope for the rise of individualism. The two groups, he says, have become polarized by their opposing sets of assumptions about our cultural values.

Though he doesn't like the term Generation Gap, he does put the younger generation on the side of the humanists. Hansel is chaplain and head of the Bible department at St. George's School, Newport, R.I. Though many of his ideas are not new, he expresses them in a fresh way. He is all on the side of youth.

They may not have the answers to our problems, he says, but they want to get those problems thrashed out so answers can be found. Miles A. Smith "IT'S HARD to tell, in my business. In 1966 I decided to make seven family films. Nobody but nobody went to see them, including my own family.

It was obvious to me that this was not what the public wanted. "Eighteen months ago we presented to a startled in dustry, a fresh young art form, revitalized by fresh new directors, new story material, new acting talent, starting with Mike Nichols. "We signed Mike as a film director, first, but he became much more. His 'The Graduate' won him an Oscar. "We signed Mel Brooks, a first time director, for "The Producers' another Academy Award winner; Tony Harvey, another first-time director of a full-length film for 'The Lion in which won another Academy Award for Katharine Hepburn.

"These three pictures will gross, worldwide, about $150 million. The total cost of making these pictures was less than $8 million. For years I have advocated that you don't need studios, you don't need stars, you need only good story material properly directed. "William Shakespeare said, 'The play's the This is as true today as it was when he said it. tarns ISiMia Nominally, this is a guide and primer, telling how any reader of this book can work his way into the presidency of a college.

Of course this is a facetious and cynical device, but It enables the author to rake through the pretensions of the cam- pus world. There is advice, first, on getting a teaching job, and how to tell one student from another the snaggles, the radicals, -l the floaters, the athletes. Then there is the business of being a dean of students, fobbing off the under- graduates and ducking all the issues; and after that, being academic dean, playing off one faculty division against another. Or an admissions officer, trying to catch applicants, no matter how; and a public relations director, protecting the school's image; and a development direc- tor (fund-raiser) cadging money from par- 1 ents, alumni and fat cats. Runnion's view is a little different from some of the other authors who have been 5 lampooning the campus, as it takes into 3 account the possibility of student riots and the high dropout rate of college presidents in terms of farce.

'4 -Miles X. Smith "THE DAY of the high priced star and studio is finished notwithstanding, a great film still has to be 'sold. John Wanamaker said that 50 percent of the money spent on advertising was wasted but he never knew which 50 percent." Asked if the current.sex and perversion cycle would pass, as have so many cycles before it, Levine shrugged. "It takes so long to make a picture these days that you have to gamble on changes in the public's taste," he said. "Right now, I'm making two simple love stories for release in, say, 1971.

I won't know until then if I've guessed wrong." He sighed, then concluded: "It's a hard way to make an easy living." HIRAM The Year of the Young Rebels, by Stephen Spender (Random House. $4.95) English poet Stephen Spende'r, 60 this year, has lived long enough to see history repeat itself. An air of gloom pervades bis book about the student insurrections which' seemed to sweep the world in 1968 because he lived through a similar period and saw it end in the totalitarianism of Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia. Many writers who worry aloud about student rebels are profoundly out of sympathy with the students' aims. Spender, however, is basically in agreement with them.

He distrusts the students, for all their arrogance and ignorance of the past, less than he distrusts history fit it Coffin's Needle Hiram Walker's By Harold Coffin It's entirely possible to halt inflation.
