\ r * \ ' i * McCLORY REPORTS From Washington Winter's Touch At Easter Time It was winter at its best -- and its worst -- Wednesday morning. The buds on the bush in foreground gave evidence of the un­ timely arrival of the heavy snowfall. It was beautiful to the viewer, unless he happened to be among the many motorists like the one pictured above who had difficulty making his way in weather described by the meteorologists as "roads dangerous, visibility poor". PLAINDEALER PHOTO cro cs> ®R Zb 3aa c3 ffa cro •V TMt OLD TIMER From Mrs. R. P. Livery, Los Angeles, Calif.: I remember when the milk man would drive over the brick street in the early morn­ ing in his horse-drawn wagon. The cream would rise out of the milk bottles on the frosty winter mornings, and I remember how good it would taste when our mother would let us have a piece of the frozen cream! The big wagons, pulled by horses, were loaded with coal in the winter, and the very same wagons were loaded with ice in the summer. The children would follow the ice wagons, hoping for a chip of ice when the driver would chop off a piece to take into the homes. I remember watching the lamp lighter with his long pole light­ ing the gas street lamps. One was in front of our house, and the lamp would cast flickering shad­ ows on the snowy Chicago streets in winter. Faith and patience are great assets and wonderful aids if you have them when you need them. The Constitutional Right of Privacy is violated frequently by the dissemination of in­ dividual arrest records, par­ ticularly in those cases where individuals have been exonerated from any criminal responsibility. It seems even more unfair and quite illogical to copy and distribute records of criminal charges - including photographs, fingerprints and other incriminating material relating to an offense that was never, in fact, committed. The misuse of arrest records in connection with job ap­ plications, credit investigations and in other private tran­ sactions contributes to widespread and sometimes permanent damage to in­ dividuals' opportunities and reputations Cases of mistaken identity, groundless charges brought by personal enemies as well as the more common cases where actual guilt is never established - would seem to require some effective federal remedy. The need is enhanced when this subject is viewed in the context of increased utilization of automatic data processing equipment capable of permanently receiving, storing and disseminating arrest record information without regard to questions of guilt or innocence. Legislation now being con­ sidered by the House Judiciary committee - including a bill sponsored by this member - would limit the availability of arrest records to law en­ forcement officials. Even such officials would be restricted in the use of such criminal justice I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW Brought To You By John Jepsen I I | Did you know there was I once a man who, during one part of his life was a • famous Hollywood actor • and won an Academy Award --and in another part of his life was a boxer and fought heavyweight cham- • pion of the world!...Do you • have any idea who this was?

Opportunities for ex­ punging many arrest records would be available under the provisions of related legislation Furthermore, both measures would subject violators to criminal penalties. The federal government has already eliminated from Civil Service application forms questions relating to individual arrest information. Replies need only be furnished regarding "convictions" of criminal offenses. However, private employers, credit bureaus and others persist in their inquiries and use of in­ complete and unevaluated arrest record information. In addition to the violation of individual Constitutional rights (including the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 9th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution) implicit in the dissemination of such arrest records, the chances of PAGE 7-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1972 issue to the end that one's ltfga experiences and aspiration: may not be jeopardized by^ unrestricted availability establishing or re-establishing a reputation for trust­ worthiness and respect may be rendered virtually impossible by the use of police records which frequently list criminal charges without even noting the ultimate dispositions of the cases which are recorded. In weighing the equities of this issue, the appropriate use of criminal justice records in the prosecution of persons for serious crimes must be recognized. However, mud­ dying reputations and in­ dividual opportunities for jobs or advancement by the in­ discriminate furnishing of arrest records, including photographs and fingerprints, is inexcusable. The rights of American citizenship must be kept up­ permost in the resolution of this arrest records. The best terests of our society will re from a conscientious respetff for our U.S. Constitution^** including the precious Right of Privacy.
