LAW OFFICERS ENDORSE PLANNED CRIME WAR
Washington (UPI) -- The nation's lawmen, alarmed by the rise of crime on the streets, voiced enthusiasm today for President Johnson's proposalto aid state and local agencies in a nationwide war on crime. Johnson said Tuesday night in his State of the Union message he will ask Congress to approve a federal program of financial assistance for "those states and cities that try to make their streetsand homes safer." A spot survey of law enforcement officials by United Press International disclosed today that most lawmen feel a substantial increase in federal aid would provide a "tremendous boost" for state and local anti-crime programs. Edouard Arbour, chief of police in Augusta, ME, summed up the reaction of many local law enforcement officials. "Let's face it," said Arbour, "Law enforcement is at the lowest ebb it has ever been. We would take whatever we could get." . . . In his message to Congress, Johnson warned that the fight against crime cannot be put off because "it will simply have to be done later at a much higer cost." He proposed a safe streets and crime control act of 1967 under which the federal government would provide 90 percent of the cost of developing state and local plansto combat crime and 60 percent fortraining new police tactical units and providing new communications, equipment, and weapons.
