Most Thriving
V.S. Problem
Crime continues to be the
most thriving of a multitude of
problems facing Americans.
The latest FBI report, covering
the first nine months of 1964,
reveals a 13 percent Increase
over the same period of last
year. Violent crimes of murder,
forcible rape, aggravated as-
sault and robbery climbed
faster than property violations.
One does not need this official
summary of facts to get sn
accurate perspective of the
crime picture. Dally press and
radio reports confirm the true
state of affairs. We are horri-
fied by the atrocities commit! -
ed In far-away places but our
sense of shock over the acts
of violence reported In the
United States is mild by com-
parison. We see the faults of
others at a distance but regard
our own short-comings with a
surprising degree of Indiffer-
ence, even llousness. “Reg-
rettably,” sa>. J. Edgar Hoover
FBI director, .“too many
Americans no longer care about
religious Ideals and heritage.
To some, our country Is a fan-
tasyland filled with complimen-
tary handouts or rights add
freedoms without obligations.
With patent Indifference, they
shirk the mere suggestion of
Individual responsibility. Their
purpose lh life Is lost In moral
lethargy, self-indulgence and
neglect of duty.”

The President said at a recent
press conference that attention
should be given Immigration
legislation by the Congress In
1965. He did not make clear
what would best serve the
nation’s Interest. About July 4
the McCarran - Walter Act Is
scheduled to be replaced by the
Hart Bill, S 747. Our Informa-
tion Is that this legislation will'

A SUMMARY OF LOCAL NIWS HAPPENINGS
Twenty-Forty Years Ago
FROM THE FILES OF THE CLARKSVILLE TIMES
If one can be entertained and
Informed without exercising the
labor required In reading, It
might seem that the printed
word la of leas Importance than
formerly. During a period whan
the use of visual and oral media
has Increased phenomenally
typographical developments
have been sensational. These
advances are Identified with the
colossal growth of an Industry
which Is expanding to meet the
demands for Its services rathsr
.. than tha challenges of the age of
sight and sound.
-> The role of the printed word
In the life of our country Is
revealed by the size of the In-
dustry whl'-h last year turned
out 25 billion newspapers, more
than one billion hardback books,
some 10 billion magazines In
addition to Immense quantities
of other materials, valued In the
aggregate at more than $10
billion.
More people are reading than
ever before and they are en-
couraged to do this by the
greatest variety of publications
In the history of printing. News-
papers and magazines hare
never been In greater demand,
a fact which advertisers are not
overlooking. Newspapers are
their first choice, according to
a survey of the national trade
publication, Printer’s Ink.
