This developing movement is for the general acceptance of the so-called indeterminate sentence. Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Jnvestihation (FBI) estimates that the nations annual crime bill Is li Pillion He cites police records revealing that a murder, forcible rape or assault to kill is committed every three minutes in the United States. Demo Excess No Problem, Solon States SALEM (AP) Republican can diates for state and local offices were advised today not to worry about the fact that there are 74.000 more Democrats in Oregon than there are Republicans. State Rep. F. F. Montgomery, Eueenc. House Republican leader, told a school for GOl' candidates that the Republicans have just as good 8 chance as the Democrats to win the November election. He said there are 423 state and local officials in Oreson, including 210 Republicans, 210 Democrats and 3 independents. "That proves," he said, "that the Democratic registration lead doesn't give them an advantage. "We have the best group of can didates we've ever had," he said. "We will win back control of the House by taking at least 33 of the 60 seats." In 1901, the Republicans had 29 scats. Freeman Holmer, state finance director, said that his office would have a balanced budget to submit to the 1963 legislature. Rut ho said it will not be easy to balance it. Holmer pointed out that state basic school aid will automatically increase by $10 million in tho next biennium. And he said that Chan cellor Hoy E. IJeunllon of tho state System of Higher Education has said his agency will need an extra $511 million. The budget for this biennium is $3011 million. State Rep.

Nearly 150 burglaries and larcenies are reported every hour. Serious crime in the United States has accelerated during the past decade at a rate exceeding the population growth by approx imately five to one, Such statistics are cited in sup port of the demand of enforce ment officers for stern, realistic action designed to reach crim inals, old and young, that society will hold them responsible for their acts. Some officers charged with en forcing the law regard the inde terminate sentence as a danger ous and impractical system ad vanced by a clique of theorists who steadily are asserting in creasing influence over such mat ters as the sentencing and rehab ilitation of criminals. These mat ters, of course, are vital to the public safety and general welfare. The indeterminate sentence is a system for handling convicted of fenders in which authority to fix the actual length of imprisonment is shifted from the courts to an other official body.

This would become the author-1 ity of a parole board or other special group, often to be com posed of political appointees or sentimentalists whose judgments could be correspondingly affected. In an area burdened by a weak parole and probation system, the indeterminate sentence system would confer additional power upon ill-tquipped or muddle-headed authorities to release prema turely habitual and unreformed criminals to prey on society. The indeterminate system ex ists in one form or another in a vast majority of legal jurisdic tions. Congress enacted in 1958 a modified indeterminate sentenc ing law. This act enables federal courts to (1J set both the mini mum and maximum years of im prisonment with a provision that the Federal Parole Board may grant parole any time after the minimum has been served; or (2) to set the maximum term of imprisonment with a proviso that the parole board may fix any date for the prisoner's parole eligibility. Prior to this act, federal pris oners were sentenced to maxi mum terms and became eligible for parole only after one third had been served. Federal ludees have not stampeded to the use of the new act but the trend is not able. Under it, 114 persons were sentenced in fiscal 1959; 723 in isou; and 1,005 in 1961. Officials of the U. S. Board of Parole and Bureau of Prisons are accused of campaigning for the indeterminate sentence. Powerful enforcement officials are against it.. Kennedy administration policy is not. Known.
