Why the Law Gets Little Help From the Public
The Hutchinson News-Herald argues public aid to law enforcement is scarce because it is dangerous. Citing the Bales case, a salesman shot after speaking to police about Wille Sutton, the paper says bystanders refrain from reporting, and witnesses avoid action in crimes large and small. This fuels crime, prolongs the police fight, and makes the job of enforcing law uphill.

New Security Order Encourages Limited Information Release
The Washington Post survey finds few agencies use Truman’s 1951 order to label information secret, with many reluctant to disclose how labels are applied. Officials, including the Post Office, withhold details, while critics call the directive dangerous. Truman defends the policy citing public right to know and CIA surveys showing most secrets leaked to media. Internal appeals mechanisms are being set up to address complaints.
