Californians
Disagree
With Kinsey
SACRAMENTO. Calif , Dec. 15 i1
A California legislative committee
politely disagreed today with Dr.
Alfred C. Kinsey on how to tat-kle
the sex crime pn.blem.
"We have mora than adequate
laws to cover the situation," the
noted University of Indiana re
searcher and author told a subcom
mittee. He ursrd that the IrulMa
ture not pais laws during a period
of hysteria: reduce, not Increase,
the penalties' and spend money on
research Into cmises.
The subcommittee then passed his
advice along to an assembly Ju
diciary committee which thereafter
placed Its stamp of approval on alx
proposed bills to Increase penalties,
Including death In the stale's gas
chamber.
Two recent shocking sex crimes.
Involving the sUylng of little girls
at Los Angeles and near Fresno,
touched off a rlilng tide of demands
that the legts..tttre art. The violat
ed victim near Fresno waa only 17
months old.
Administration sources today ex
pressed confidence that the legisla
ture will adopt acceptable lobbyist
controls before ending the special
session. Delays and maneuvering
have cast some doubts as to the
future of the governor's program.

In their opinion Kejsar waa drunk.
All declared Kejsar't beating was
necessary to subdue him and all
denied emphatically that he waa

Kejsar did not tpeak during the

tended the officers were doing only
