Newburgh Mayor George F. McKneally defends keeping chemical Mace in use by the police, calling it the best non-violent riot control weapon. He cites a University of Michigan study supporting safety and criticizes critics who favor banning the device amid 1967 unrest and recent spray incidents involving clergy, NAACP officials, and a Times reporter.
