For periods up to two hours at other serious crimes up eleven percent by John Beckler associated press writer Washington a like peace in Vietnam Relief from the fear of crime in the streets that grips millions of americans remains elusive after 15 months of the Nixon administration. The latest statistics show serious crimes in the nation Rose u per cent last year and if that was a smaller increase than in previous years it was far from the abrupt reversal promised by president Nixon in his 1966 Campaign. In speech after speech since then the president and other administration spokesmen have blamed Congress for delaying legislation that would produce the longed for change. But would it of the 20-Odd crime Bills proposed by the administration none is aimed directly at preventing the muggings robberies rapes and murders most americans think of when crime in the streets is mentioned.

The Only major Federal program that could have an Impact on local crime is the Law enforcement assistance act Leaa. Which was aligned into Law six months before Nixon took office. It was designed to help states and cities improve their criminal Justice systems through injections of Federal funds. As drafted by tin. Johnson administration. Leaa would have made Federal Grants directly to the big cities where Mast serious crimes occur. But House republicans led a successful a see Nixon crime Page 14
