Deterrent bill aims at street crime against elderly and disabled
A May 14 1976 attack on 78 year old Ruth Tournai of Long Beach by a purse thief spurred support for State Sen George Deukmejians bill 5B2025. The measure would deny probation for such crimes, transfer juvenile suspects 16 to 18 to adult court, and seek stronger punishment to protect seniors and the blind from violence.

Letters Raise Park Pain and Prop 2 Authors Question
Letters to the editor complain about condition at Veterans Park with drunks and litter at the entrance and urge city funding for park patrols. Other readers question coverage of local graduations and demand accountability for a Dymally plan that would create jobs, plus praise for a handicapped bus program and thanks to Special Services staff. A rumor about congressional secretaries being top typists is also noted.
