The Prowler In The Jungle HILE POtlCE are apparently wrapping 4 up a solution to the sex murder of 11-year-old Karen Ann Meehling In American Fork, a grieving public wants to see: JT What sordid, tragic pattern will emerge that led to this killing? Will the killer prove, as so many others have done, to be a known deviate whose aberrations were known but about whom nothing constructive" dune? Will this tragic death' join the long, long list of those that might have been prevented if society had taken the trouble and assumed the cost of identifying, treat-ingrand, if necessary, isolating those of its members who show dangerous sexual deviation? These questions aqe occasioned not only by Karen's death but by the appearance just at this time in the magazine USA Inside Report" of a hard-hitting, analytical report on Americas sex crime problem. From it, these paragraphs seem pari ticularly timely and important to a public chilled and frightened by Karens death; the jury brought In a verdict guilty. After taking his problem In prayer to his synagogue.

Judge Kaufman on April 5 sentenced the Rosenbergs to death and Sobel to 30 years imprisonment. Now the Communists quadrupled their efforts, and the ordeal of Judge Kaufman, and that of his wife and children, multiplied. It reached a scarifying crescendo by June, 1953, when the Rosenbergs were executed. IN THE INTERIM, -the defense made 16 appeals to the District. Court, seven to the Court of Appeals, seven to the U.S.

Supreme Court and two appeals for Clemency to the President of the United States. But in every instance the law and 1 the Executive stood firmly behind Judge Kaufman. The Rosenberg trial is destined to be famous Uf American and legal history for many reasons, not the least of which is that it revealed, as part of the Rosenberg transmission belt, the brilliant German-Communist scientist, Klaus Fuchs. Fuchs went to East Germany a few years ago after serving a term In England for passing atomic secrets to Russia. He is now said to be the guiding genius in the USSRs accelerated program for bigger and more terrifying bombs.

What a blind, and bitter failure of democracy to protect-itself that Fuchs was not hanged for his part in the conspiracy, and that he was permitted to go behind thelron Cur -tain on his release from a British, prison! Two more recent cases have kept Judge Kaufman in the national eye: the trial of the mobsters arrested in the 1957 gangland convention at Apalachin, N.Y, and his more recent decree that the public schools of New Rochelle are no more immune to the Supreme Court order to desegregate than those In the South, By INEZ ROBB Wlta THE United States Senate convenes to consider the elevation of Judge Irving Kaufman from the United States District Court in New York to the United States Second' Circuit Court of Appeals, it' will be surprising if the promotion isnt voted in jig time. Even if Southern Sectors are offended by Judge Kaufmans sistence on the desegregation of public schools in New Rochelle, N.Y they should at least find grim humor and proof, In his 4icial action, that segregation 1 a racial prejudice exist on both sides of the Mason-Dixon tLine.

Sing Sing pnson for 'treason. Judge Kaufman was the personal target of a sustained campaign of terror and abuse mounted by Communist sympathizers of the Rosenbergs.

The avalanche of poison-pen mail alone Would have shaken a. lesser man. As a reporter who attended the trial, I was' impressed by Judge Kaufmans fair and impartial conduct of the case. No hint of his private ordeal ever crept into his courtroom. The nature of his purgatory was "stant question: Will them be a tomorrow? And it has also produced an unfortu nate ahswer; Live for today in any way you choose.

Out of this false logic has come a vio- Vlent breakdown in the familiar order of restraint and discipline, in the patterns of family responsibility and ethical conduct and, finally, In the moral controls by the group or the individual The fim to explode under "the tensions-have been the emotionally disabled. The sex deviate has been foremost among them. THE MENTAL INSTITUTIONS and the prisons of the United States are jammed with these individuals whose dark minds haVe burst into physical savagery. Their depredations have been stopped temporarily. But for each one in a prison or a mental institution, there are 100 who walk quietly and unobserved through the.

In the few moments it has taken you to read some woman or child has struggled desperately and hopelessly in the terror of such an attack. The Federal Bureau of investigation reports today' that there are more than 15,000 forcible criminal assaults in the United States each year. That is more than one every 35 minutes. The number is Increasing rapidly as are all sex crimes of violence and viciousness. No community has escaped.

None can escape. And this is just one frightening statistic, a single point. There are others, many others. The law is presumed to be your protection against them. Bilt wfiat is the law?

If. you wish to challenge that statement, challenge it in your own mind. Ask yourself what a child learns, first! Is it the ABCs or not to take candy from a stranger? Is it the spelling of simple words or to never get into a strangers car? You know what lessons children are given first and you know from reading the headlines In each days newspaper what lessons they must be given first The pretense that we do not know is mere lip service to a false pride or modesty.

You see them. You read about them. It is part of the substance of each day. But what causes them? The criminologists, sociologists and psychiatrists, who offer a thousand explanations and an equal number of un- tried solutions, have formed a loose general agreement on what is happening and what has happened. This, they say, is the first American era in which there has been no unanimous and unconditional release from tension.

The program following the enactment of this legislation is in its early stages of development It may be that continued studies by the board and by legislators and banks will show that further benefits should accrue to the people. To the credit of banking Institutions in Utah it is only fair to point out that these banks render free service to all agencies of state gov-ernment which use the commercial services of the banks. This includes all political subdivisions of the State.

Prisbrey 3836 So. 610 West it not for President De Gaulles rock-like personal stand, there would be no telling what the French attitude toward Berlin would be today. There might well be a rush to the nearft exits.

This does not mean that the Macmillan and De Gaulle governments will not honor their commitment to defend Western rights in West Berlin' if they are seriously interfered with. But it does mean: That they really wish they didnt have the commitment, that in both countries public opinion to a great extent and official opinion to some extent will favor larger concessions to Mr. K. than we would. That widespread anti-German sentiment convinces Khrushchev that he has a good opportunity to divide the three Western Powers on YOU WILL RECALL that a few weeks ago in Washington this was what Soviet Ambassador Menshikov was saying to President Kennedy that he better not resist anything that Khrushchev wants, because The American people will not fight Tor Berlin.

Now the Soviets are saying it to the British and the French and the Italians and they have more fertile ground on which to sow their seeds of disunity. 1 WHAT I AM REPORTING is that, in my judgment, the British and French governments will stand staunchlyjwith the U-S. in defending -Western rights in West Berlin, but that an uncertain, wavering public opinion will make negotiations with Khrushchev very precarious. IT IS TIME for a reawakening. Karens death, the grim facts pointed out in this magazine, must not be allowed to stir up a brief flurry of public excitement and then be forgotten.

If a civilization that has split the atom and is halfway to the mooncannot protect its innocent children and women, what good is it? Other nations have solved the problem; their clinics for treatment, their compusory quarantine for deviates beyond help, have reduced sex crimes al-e most to disappearance.

It seems in the state of Utah our senior senator is leading his little group with the sounds of his pernicious and vilifying comments towards the present administration. In government, decisions must be made. These decisions do not always comply with desires of the people. A simple understanding of modern society will relate this fact, but the decisions that are being made by Representative King are made to ameliorate the conditions that exist in the state of Utah and not to increase his own prestige even though he does satisfy the desires of the people of the state so that, they will continue to support him.
