">. • * • 1 Pag® Ten THE McHEfomV PLAINDEALER Thursday, March 23, 1961 lie Senator Says bi State. Senator Bobert McClory Members of the Illinois General Assembly are justifiably . concerned about the growth and prevalence ,of crime in our state. Most attention is being given 'to the shocking conditions in Chicago. However, other areas of the state where criminal elements hold; sway will also receive the serious attention of our Springfield _ solons. A major legislative task is to correct the organi z a t i o n a 1 structure which permitted abuses and laxity in the Chicago police department culminating in the disclosure last year of scandalous combination of various police officers and thieves. At the I960 special sessions, this member of the Senate advised P ol i c e Superintendent Orlando W. Wilson that then was the time to enact police reform measures. It was as apparent then, as now, that Chicago Civil Service controls served to hamstring effective management of the police department. But, Superintendent Wilson, admitting that he was without experience in securing the enactment of legislation, elected to wait. While he might have dictated the, terms of police reform bills lest year when the police gcandalsWere fresh in the public mind,\he chances of complete reforhi are now jeopardized by a powerful lobby. As a co-sponsor of the legislative bills requested by Superintendent Wilson- for a board of rights and other needed reforms; this senator will not compromise with the leaders of the police opposition which behave in gang style to eject an assistant corporation counsel from their recent protest meeting. Another legislative measure designated to meet the increase in crime is the bill to study the rieetT for 'a - Deparf1- ment of Corrections in Cook county. The recent newspaper disclosures of deplorable conditions at Chicago's Bridewell (House of Correction) have led to this proposal. The new department would be organized to give special attention to such groups as the juvenile offenders, first offenders .and narcotics' cases. Another objective is the unification ana coordination of correctional and rehabilitation functions in an attempt to reduce the' number of chronic criminals and to prevent first offenders and juveniles from mingling with hardened criminals. The problem of increased crime is not unique to the city of Chicago. Other* areas are, affected, also. Indeed, it is .suggested that many hoodlums have found that their operations have become unprofitable in Chicago, and consequently, they have moved to the suburbs and other parts.. of the state: The recent grand jury investigations in Peoria county, culminating in the indictment of that county's state's attorney, show that corruption is not limited to the city of Chicago. A measure sponsored by your senator would establish a State Legislative Crime Investigation commission, to be composed of five members of the House and five members of the Senate to investigate criminal activities in our state, including syndicate crime operations and their effect on politics, business and labor. A Peoria resident, indicating enthusiasm for this legislation, remarked that such a commission could spend the next two years in Peoria. / The measure follows a legislative council study and report which shows the beneficial results of similar state crime commissions in five other states. The federal legislative crime i n v e s t i g a t i o n s c o n d u c t e d i n Chicago in recent years by Senator Kefauver and Senator McClellan showed dramatically and tragically the prevalence of syndicate crime in our stcitc. The Illinois Legislature is hot without the power to. conduct its own investigations and achieve its own results. Passage of the bill before the State Senate would establish a bipartisan commission which could be employed for a much n e e d e d , n o n - p o l i t i c a l p u b l i c service. r The Success or failure of the legislative proposals to deal with the spread of criminal activities irt Illinois depends in large nfeasure on the concern of the/public and of the public press/ Ar^j) aroused public will help'drive dishonest pdlicemen from our police ranks and help rid our communities of the. crime and corruption which could destroy our free institutions and our individual freedoms, as wel H SI ^ ,| -• I I Pel" W & Son OXYGEN EQUIPPED AMBULAN SERVICE Phone Efsrgreen 5-0®!'
