WEST TEXAS PECAN GROWERS are in-
terested In the annual Eastland County Pecan
Show at Rising Star Friday and Saturday.
They report that "In spite of a short crop
entries are expected in more than 28 differ-
ent papershell or Improved varieties, Includ-
ing those developed by government horticul-
turists at the pecan research station at P-rtWh
wood.
Pecans are short in this immediate area,
and probably there is a small crop throughout
West Texas.
Ladies of Albany keep asking us If Bro
Yeats will bring pecans to Albany this year.
We hope he didn't also have a small crop.

OFFICERS OF THE LAW have come in for
considerable criticism the past few years.
John Edgar Hoover, writing In the FBI Law
Enforcement Bulletin last month, has a mes-
sage that should interest readers:
Recently, In Kingsport, Tenn., an elderly
man who had been arrested on local charges
some 400 times since 1939 passed away. He
had no known relatives. When the city's police
officers, many •bf whom had made some of
the arrests, learned of his death, they took up
a collection from members of the department
to pay for his funeral, In addition, six of the
officers served as his pallbearers. Because
of their kindness, the man was given a prop
er burial.
Last May, FBI Agents in Chicago locat-
ed a baby boy who had been kidnaped a month
earlier from his South Carolina home when
he was only two weeks old. The child's dis-
traught mother was overjoyed to know that
her baby was alive and safe. When agents who
had investigated the case learned that the
mother was destitute, they donated the money
which enabled her to Immediately fly to Chi-
cago and take her baby home.
I cite these two incidents because they mer-
it wider recognition, although the actions of
the police officers and the agents were indeed
commendable. Nor are the incidents rare;
good deeds of this type occur repeatedly in en-
forcement agencies throughout the country.
Rather, I mention the two Incidents because
they Illustrate a benevolent and humanitarian
aspect of law enforcement work which is often
ignored and unappreciated.
The role of the policeman in our society
goes far beyond the sworn duties of enforc-
ing the law and arresting lawbreakers. Mod-
ern-day computers would be taxed to process
the thousands of special services performed
for the public by law enforcement officers
every day.
In any emergency, real or Imaginary, the
first cry that goes forth Is for the police. The
officer on the beat must be a Journeyman of
many trades—an on-the-spot doctor, plumber,
or baby-sitter. Today's enforcement officer
is expected to have multifarious abilities, ex-
plicit judgment, and an unshakable tempera-
ment. He performs on a public stage. The
audience is "live;" every observer a critic.
The duty of the enforcement officer Is often
an unpopular and unpleasant task. His job
could be easier If, at the height of erroneous
charges and unwarranted attacks against his
profession, citizens would remember some of
the humanitarian aspects of his work which
they have come to expect and depend on.

a Enrollments Up
Texas' 55 state-supported col-
leges and universities enrolled
248,711 regular students this
fall, representing an increase
of 22,300 students—or about 10
percent—over last fall.
Biggest gainers, percentage-
wise, were Stephen F. Austin,
Nacogdoches (18.7 percent)
Southwest Texas State, San
Marcos (17.3 percent); and
West Texas State, Canyon (15.
6 percent).
Big growth in junior colleg-
es was noted in Henderson
County, Athens; Texas South-
most, Brownsville; Panola
Carthage; and South Plains,
Levelland.
Hie 1988 enrollment figure
approximately doubles the
number of students in the col-
lege and university system 10
years ago.

Texas' epidemic seems to be
tapering off, as a spokesman
for the commission said the
number of cases is now down
to four or five per day. Before
the Infestation, the number
was normally three or four per
week, and during the epidem-
ic's height that jumped to over
190 cases one week.
It's the Law
Texas
Hidden Ears
Inside the olive of a martini,
under the handle of a brief
case, behind the knob on a
dashboard, within the cavity of
a tooth—in all these places,
pie answer. However, certain
basic principles are already
pretty well established.
Thus, eavesdropping evidence
Is not acceptable if it was got-
ten by unlawfully breaking Into
a person's home.
In one case, police broke Into
the home of a suspected bookie
and planted an electronic bug
under a chest of drawers. Sure
enough, the recordings Indicat-
ed that the man was guilty.
But a court rejected this evi-
dence, because the police had
ignored the constitutional ban
on unreasonable search.
"It is preferable that some
criminals go free," said the
court, "than that the right of
privacy of all the people be set
at naught."
On the other hand, the mere
fact that the eavesdropping
was done secretly does not
spoil It as evidence. For ex-
ample:
A revenue agent talking with
a suspected tax dodger, had a
wire recorder hidden in his
pocket. During the converse
tion the man offered a bribe,
duly recorded on the wire.
But in the this case there had
been no breaking into private
quarters. Furthermore, the sus-
pect, by merely talking to the
revenue agent, had knowingly
taken the risk that the agent
might tattle on him.
Holding the evidence admis-
sible, the court pointed out
that the agent himself could tes-
tify to the conversation—and
the recording device simply
did the job better.
In short, the law is seeking
to strike a fair balance be-
tween the desire for persona!
privacy and the need for fight-
ing crime. Research and study
in this area are intense. And,
as legal arguments go, the de-
bate in passionate.
But so it should be. In a free
