FBI’s Hoover Authors
Message for Americans
Few men in the long and glorious history of our nation have served us with such dedication and brilliance as J. Edgar Hoover.
Mr. Hoover has directed the Federal Bureau of Investigation under six presidents. He has worked equally well with Democratic or Republican Congresses.
The FBI has been given one big important assignment after another. Crime and inroads of Communists and anti-Americans would be far greater today than they are if we did not have an FBI operating as it does under the magnificent leadership of J. Edgar Hoover.
Our national kidnapping situation was so bad that the FBI was assigned the task of holding this horrible crime to a minimum. The same action was taken when bank robberies became everyday affairs.
and it is high time righteous, free loving people take a close look what is happening to our moral sardars.
“Morality is one of the moreplexing and controversial problems facing our Nation. Why? Primarily it is because of individual and collective moral cowardice on the part our society. We do not have the age to stand in conflict with the rush of material wealth, indulgence and social prestige. We are condemned and appeasers of a practice which distrust and disapprove but which will not overtly oppose.
“The lack of morality and its rity stems from a false sense of vaunty. Many persons are so preoccupied with selfishness and greed they no longer know — nor care for that matter where honor stops and dishonor mences. Others are simply confessors.”
Crime and inroads of Communists and anti-Americans would be far greater today than they are if we did not have an FBI operating as it does under the magnificent leadership of J. Edgar Hoover.
Our national kidnapping situation was so bad that the FBI was assigned the task of holding this horrible crime to a minimum. The same action was taken when bank robberies became everyday affairs.
Hoover not only is a great patriot, but he is a man of rare courage, high intelligence, humility and a deep sense of fair play. He is an exceptional executive. His personnel has fantastic esprit de corps. This spirit and morale has to come from the top.
For nearly 40 years Hoover has run a huge department and kept it free from graft and corruption. Salaries paid in the FBI are not high. They should be higher. Nonetheless, men of the department have pride and spirit. They get something from their work other than mere dollars. There is the sense of accomplishment and of serving their country and countrymen. "Well done" sums up their efforts and achievements.
Hoover and his department daily perform outstanding services for all of us. For this reason I want to present in its entirety the message written by Hoover to all law enforcement officials and published in the December issue of the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin. It follows:
"Are we Americans ashamed to be identified with decency and morality? Are we forsaking the time-tested principles upon which our great country was founded for a substandard, more accommodating code of conduct?
There appears to be a preponderance of evidence to indicate a truthful reply to these questions has to be in the affirmative. However, here a true answer is the 'wrong' answer,
Consultative Government
Columnist Henry J. Taylor quotes the late Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson as saying: "It is not the function of our government to keep the citizens from falling into error as much as it is the function of the citizens to keep the government from dent, without relinquishing his powers and responsibilities, we work more closely, on a consult basis, with other arms of the government and with other national fiefd and institutions. To quote Mr. T once again: 'Tomorrow waits in wings. But the sound assumption..."
Consultative Government
Columnist Henry J. Taylor quotes the late Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson as saying: "It is not the function of our government to keep the citizens from falling into error as much as it is the function of the citizens to keep the government from falling into error."
Then Mr. Taylor goes on to develop an interesting thesis. Its basis is that achievement of Justice Jackson's principle "... becomes utterly impossible under an all-in-my-hands concept of the presidency." The job is just too big for any man, no matter how able.
President Johnson, he believes, may move in the direction of what he terms "truly consultative government." Under this concept, the Presidium will pay great dividends in overcoming this problem.
Question: My son can read the big words but misses the little ones. Can he overcome this? — Mrs. H. I. H.
Comment: Technically, these are perceptual errors, one of the most difficult reading problems to correct. If you will notice, the words troubling your son generally are similar in appearance: "saw" and "was," for example. Or, he could be calling it "city" when the word is "town."
New techniques have been developed to help such student pay greater attention to detail as he reads so that he sees the right words more readily. However, long after such student has become a competent reader, he may continue on occasion to mis-call the words orally. Patience on the part of the parents, the teacher and the child will pay great dividends in overcoming this problem.
Question: Our nine-year-old can read but seldom seems able to find a book he likes. What do you suggest?—W.F.B.
Comment: A trip to your nearest public library branch will help him discover that the librarian is a very good friend. She will show him that the selection in most reading and interest levels is extensive. He needs only to be guided to find his own level.
The short reviews on book jackets, a quick trip through a book with the aid of the librarian or a parent is like the preview of next week's television program: exciting sufficient interest to make a boy or girl want to read them. Spend a moment or two describing a story you remem-

DE FACTO SEGREGATION
DE FACTO SEGREGATION
Many Solutions Offered
By Education News Service
(Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of articles on one of the toughest issues facing California today and in the years ahead: de facto segregation in the public schools and the numerous difficult problems involved in bringing it to an end.)
Perhaps the best gauge of the difficulty of eliminating de facto segregation in California’s schools is the number and variety of solutions proposed.
They range from direct, immediate attacks, such as the proposal to bus students cross-town to achieve racial balance through a district, to long-range plans for school site selection so as to serve multi-racial areas.
Open enrollment is being tried in a number of districts. Its success has been far less than spectacular. It allows the transfer of students to another school if the receiving school has space available and if the transfers will aid in correcting racial imbalance.
According to Wilson Riles, consultant to the State Department of Education’s Commission on Teacher Employment Practices, open enrollment can be effective in school districts, but he does not feel it approaches a final solution.
The weakness in the plan appears to be that the parents of transferees must take responsibility for transporting their children to the chosen school. This means a financial burden, normally, for a segment of the population least able to afford it.
This plan shares major objectives with the busing proposition. In both cases, students would be attending school outside their neighborhoods with consequent disruption of their social contacts both at home and at school. Superintendent of Public Instruction Max Rafferty has pointed out that the necessary travel would involve loss of time and probable exclusion from extracurricular activities. The distance from school would also make parent-teacher conferences and PTA connections difficult to maintain.
Notwithstanding these objections, State Board President Thomas W. Braden declared last April that “if any busing is necessary because schools are overcrowded and students must be transported, the busing ought to be accomplished in a manner that will help conquer segregation.”
Gerrymandering of attendance zone boundaries to bring children of varying ethnic backgrounds into the same school building is a favored solution, but with some qualifications. Educators have been fairly unanimous in rejecting a redrawing of boundaries purely to effect a racial balance if, at the same time, it interferes with sound educational values.
For example, the California Association of Secondary School Administrators (CASSA) adopted a policy in September which opposes gerrymandering whose purpose is the segregation of any group of pupils, but also opposes “the aggressive structuring of schools for a purpose building of new ones” locations to insure balance.
Some eastern cities New York, Philadelphia Detroit have established schools with enrollment from the basis of ticular school’s special music, science, or national crafts.
While some integrative merit in the plan, the gales Unified District Education’s ad hoc On Equal Educationality had this to say in to the Board:
“... it is not eco-advisable for a public system to segregate lented pupils in schools from the mainstream secondary education; deprive the schools’ leave of their leader example.”
In Pasadena, new option” plan will be the first time next year; assigning all students Negroes on a geography with a specified per seat in each of the schools left vacant students. The Negro may then elect which attend up to the limit school’s capacity. Over year period beginning 65 the percentage of will be brought grade average 15.8 per cec school.

Letters To The Editor
Thank you for your article in The Gazette Dec. 12, "Shocked Parents Told Son Is a Thief". They were very worthwhile suggestions. I wish parents would wake up to their God given responsibilities. Let's have more articles of suggestions to moms and dads. Some to the kids may help too!

Want to know how gratified we are at the interest and understanding of our industry shown in your excellent editorial of Dec. 5 in The Gazette.
That railroads ask no favors is obvious to us, but to have the fact recognized with implied commendation, is very reassuring. Thank you for your interest and with all good wishes for a pleasant holiday season.

The other day Pete Sneak found John Jones' wallet together with three blank checks drawn on his bank.
Pete's luck ran out soon afterwards: A policeman stopped him for speeding. When he asked for Pete's driver's license, he showed a false one. The policeman saw a real estate sign and a lot of other junk in Pete's car and hauled him in for having a false driver's license and for malicious mischief.
Pete pleaded guilty and went to jail for a time. There the sheriff found in Pete's pocket Jones' three checks. Pete had forged the checks and had written in his own name as payee. Pete had carried the checks around for several days, but had not cashed them.
The district attorney charged Pete with possession of forged checks and bills and convicted him under a new law. If a person has a completed check on him with the intent of using it to defraud another person, he is guilty of crime. Mere possession of such a false check becomes a crime.
How can the court be thief meant to check? By what he fill it out? Did it? Has he done other than he could cash it?

Elsewhere on this page, the editor and publisher of this newspaper has quoted at length from J. Edgar Hoover's latest call for a revival of public and private morality in our land.
It is entirely proper that Hoover should make such a plea — but hardly surprising.
More noteworthy, I feel, is that fact that from all over America similar calls are arising. This indicates a profound concern by all kinds of people over a problem which has for far too long been the exclusive preoccupation of the professionals in law enforcement and religion—and the newsmen who chronicle their activities.
Stated simply the problem is this: There appears in this otherwise wonderful land of ours a rising indifference to moral standards, reflected in a soaring crime rate and a breakdown in sexual morality.
Two examples of the recent outpourings of expressions of concern are Dr. Benjamin Spock's latest column in Redbook magazine and a nationally distributed article by famed historian and philosopher Will Durant.
Dr. Spock — the pediatric prophet most honored by American mothers—points out that there is a trend among American parents to confuse the responsibility for a child's misdeeds.
the standards would be meaningless.
Historian Durant — writing in his great age, with his mind's eye both on 60 years of our own society and the vast panorama of that which came before — asked a question which all of us should spend some important time answering.
He admits all the changes in America from our rural past, where a solid family and many children were an asset, and where everybody knew everybody else. But, he asks how far can we go in our present direction without collapsing?
To all these distinguished voices, I can only add these warnings.
As Durant concedes, the changes in our moral climate which so disturb us are the result of changes in our nation's entire way of life.
This is not to say these moral changes had to take place or that the trend cannot be reversed. But we must remember that recognizing and deploring an evil is not enough —we must do something about the causes.
Second, let us keep ever in mind the result of our last major social experiment "noble

Some eastern cities such as New York, Philadelphia and Detroit have established specialized schools which draw enrollment from the entire city on the basis of ability in a particular school's specialty, such as music, science, arts or vocational crafts.
While some integrationists see merit in the plan, the Los Angeles Unified District Board of Education's ad hoc Committee on Equal Educational Opportunity had this to say in its report to the Board:
"It is not educationally advisable for a public school system to segregate highly talented pupils in schools away from the mainstream of public secondary education and thus deprive the schools they would leave of their leadership and example."
In Pasadena, new "controlled option" plan will be tried for the first time next year. It involves assigning all students except Negroes on a geographic basis with a specified percentage of seats in each of three high schools left vacant for Negro students. The Negro children may then elect which school to attend up to the limit of each school's capacity. Over a three-year period beginning with 1964-65 the percentage of Negroes will be brought gradually to an average 15.8 per cent in each school.
Princeton, New Jersey, is cited often for a solution in which two neighboring schools, one all white, the other all black.
Dr. Spock — the pediatric prophet most honored by American mothers—points out that there is a trend among American parents to confuse the responsibility for a child's misdeeds.
All too often, the doctor explains, parents confronted by a youngster's misbehavior blame themselves, even though they have done all they could do to steer the child in the right direction.
When this happens, their parental instincts are blocked by half-digested psychological concepts, and they are helpless.
They have some vague fear of instilling guilt feelings in their children, so they attempt to carry the guilt themselves. Thus they spare the child the punishment for his misdeeds — and ensure more and bigger misdeeds to follow.
Actually, Dr. Spock stresses, what the child wants and needs is the knowledge that his parents have a set of standards, that he is expected to conform to them, and that if he doesn't he will be punished. Otherwise,

How can the court know that the thief meant to pass the check? By what he does: Did he fill it out? Did he endorse it? Has he done other things so that he could cash it later?
A finder of valuable property cannot just keep it. Legally, he should seek the owner, or turn it over to the police. Sometimes the finder has a duty to advertise for the owner. Only if no one claims the property after a time, may the finder keep it.
It is also theft knowingly to keep property not yours, such as a gain due to a bank's favorable mistake.
Some kinds of found property is truly abandoned. The finder can keep things that have no value, which somebody has left somewhere.
The state has several laws on its books about property left in banks, corporation accounts, stored in warehouse, etc. From time to time these businesses must report to the state on this property. After a time, the state then seeks the owners. If no owner claims it, the state acquires the property.
