Republicans propose crime control and federal state cooperation
A 1968 letter outlines the Republican Coordinating Committee report released April 22 which calls for crime and juvenile delinquency controls, court reform, crackdown on organized crime, increased state and federal cooperation, and direct state aid. It warns of Democratic inaction and urges voters to demand new leadership this fall. It also questions equity in school boosts given to children with influential mothers.
