Summer Session Kansan Friday, July 29,1966
Londerholm sees new police roles
Sweeping social changes are "putting the monkey on the back of the peace officer," Kansas Attny, Gen. Robert Londerholm said at the opening session of the 20th annual Peace Officers Training School at KU.
He cited the civil rights movement, recent decisions by the Supreme Court, and new theories about human behavior and treatment of persons convicted of crimes as forces altering the nature and techniques of law enforcement.
The state official did not comment pro or con on the changes themselves, but emphasized that they place a heavy responsibility on the peace officer.
"IN GENERAL, law enforcement today is doing a good job in a field where there are many new responsibilities and demands,"Londerholm told more than 200 lawmen and correctional personnel.
But, he cautioned, these rapid changes require constant retraining and revision of methods on the part of the lawman. He said Kansas is one of the states that has not yet adopted mandatory basic training for law enforcement personnel, but said such a proposal probably will be introduced in the next session of the Legislature and should be supported.
"WE IN LAW enforcement will want to lend our support to this. It has to come," he said. "Society has come to expect an expert on every job, whether it's having a car repaired or a tooth pulled—and law enforcement is no exception."
Looking to the future of law enforcement, Londerholm predicted that there will be "new rules, new Supreme Court decisions...we can only hope that the pendulum will begin to swing back the other way in the court's interpretation of the rules of enforcement."
He remarked that the recent Supreme Court decision regarding interrogation of suspects "means that you will have to rethink some of your methods and alter them to achieve law enforcement that will result in
prosecution of criminals in a way that meets the requirements."
ON TUESDAY, law enforcement officials were told that LSD and other hallucinogens are more dangerous in their own way than narcotics and barbituates.
"Most of the people who have trouble with narcotics and barbituates are people who already are in trouble in one way or the other.
"But the thing about LSD is that it can ruin an otherwise normal, well adjusted person," said Donald K. Fletcher, former Texas law enforcement official now with Smith, Kline & French Laboratories, Philadelphia.
TOPEKA — (UPI) — Kansas has never had a woman U.S. senator, but Mrs. Ava Anderson, wife of a Concordia dentist, is waging a vigorous campaign to change that record.
Woman vying for seat in Senate
A political newcomer, Mrs. Anderson, 58, is a certified dental assistant and has attended the Kansas City Business College, ceramic school and engineering school of the University of Utah, art school and is a graduate cosmologist.
Her campaigning throughout Kansas is done in a camper bus. Her platform extends from economics to the American Indians.
MRS. ANDERSON will face incumbent Sen. James B. Pearson, R-Kan., Rep. Robert Ellsworth, R-Kans., and former Wichita Mayor William Tarrant in the Aug. 2 primary election.
One of her planks is a proposal
to raise the income tax exemption from $600 per person to $8,000 or $9.000.
She called the present tax structure a burden on the poor and said tax money is spent for things "that are just making things worse."
Mrs. Anderson also feels something should be done about the crime wave, particularly against women.
SHE SAID WOMEN now are not safe on the streets and pointed to the Kansas City area which is second in the nation as "the most dangerous for women."
She called the crime rate "shocking" and asked for more protection of the people.
On the draft, Mrs. Anderson said it was like a ball game with the 10 best players sitting on the bench. It was a reference to exemptions.
She said college exemptions "might have started with good intentions, but it has turned into a divide and conquer maneuver" and charged that some students taking the national draft examination "have the answers before they take the test."
TWO OF THE PLANKS in her platform called for an "every person census" and "perimeter defense."
On the census, Mrs. Anderson said the bureau should take an "every person census and then we would know the people in this country."
"How long has it been since someone from the Census Bureau asked you how you are getting along?" Mrs. Anderson asked.
She suggested the information on this be kept in the Census Bureau and the Social Security Administration.
