Garrett, Ph Professor Emeritus, Psychology, Columbia University Past President, American Psychological Association Q: Dr. Garrett, aren't you be ing a bit coy in denying the ef fects of environment or a per son's development? Why do you do this? A: Coy? I do not deny the sig nificance of environment. To the contrary, environment does play a part in the development of people and things. If you take good care of your automobile, for instance, you will have a bet ter car, a more efficient machine than otherwise. And if you sup ply a child with good nutrition, warm clothing, a happy home life, literate associates, etc., chances are you will have a bet ter child than otherwise. What I do contend — and what the environmentalists deny — is that heredity, too, plays a part in determining the ultimate person. Perhaps the major part. A Chevrolet is not the equal of a Cadillac and will never be, so long as the two are treated equally. Similarly, people are not born equal. Some are born with brilliant intellects and some are born stupid. That is the way of the world. It follows, then, if you take a dull child and a brilliant child and equalize their environment, the dull child will never achieve the brilliance of the other any more than will a Chevrolet ever be the equal of a Cadillac. For 50 years, now, The Armed Forces have been testing the in telligence of American youth, more than 20,000,000 American youngsters, as a matter of fact. ■These tests consistently demon strate that but 12 per cent of Negroes are the intellectual equal of the average White per son; two out of three Negro in ductees (66%) are rejected for lack of mental competence, while less than one out of five White inductees (20%) are re jected for this reason. Over these 50 years, billions of dollars have been stjent on Negroes in the hope of improv ing them, intellectually. No doubt they have improved as their environment was enriched. But not relatively. Whites have Sroved, too, so that the, gap re ns. Indeed, a case could be made that the gap has widened: During 1917-1918, results from The Armed Forces tests of that day showed the overlap to be 14 per cent, whereas, ever since then it has remained at the men tioned 12 per cent. You have directed your ques tion to the wrong person. I sug gest you ask the environmental ists why they deny the-signifi cance of heredity.

C. 28585 J—Jan. 12, 19, 26, Feb. 2 SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS * Most Americans would agree with the President’s pronounce ment in his State of the Union message that “this Nation nlust make an all out effort to combat crime.” JLatest FBI statistics indicate that serious crime throughout the United States increased ten percent during the first nine months of 1966. In our great cities citizens are faced with in creased odds that they may be come the victims of muggings, vicious assaults, burglaries, and wanton destruction of property. Crime rates are closely related to the effectiveness of law en forcement. Federal grants and national crime commissions are important, but these aids and agencies do not altar the fact that our police must have the op portunity to curb crime. When all is said, we find our law en forcement officers have been denied reasonable procedures in recent years which were once great bulwarks against crime. Supreme Court rulings and particularly the recent Miranda v. Arizona case have moved so far to protect the rights of the accused that public safety has been relegated to the back row of the courtroom. Such decisions seem to be based upon the the ory that society needs little, pro tection from criminals, but crim inals need much protection from law enforcement officers. I agree with those who call this unwise philosophy the ”fox hunt theory of law enforcement” because it tends toward viewing the criminal law as a game in NOTICE TO CREDITORS NORTH CAROLINA JONES COUNTY The undersigned, having quali fied as Administratrix of the Es tate of Ella Kornegay, late of Jones County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons hav ing claims against said estate to present them to the undersigned before the 26th day of July, 1967, otherwise this notice will be pleaded in bar of, their recov ery.

I which the criminal, like the fox, should be given an even chance to escape. There is no doubt that the Miranda case tilts the scales of justice in favor of those accused of crime and against the prose cution. The Court has lost sight of the fact that the accuser and society are just as much entitled to justice as the accused. lest week, I introduced a con stitutional amendment to re store effectiveness to our law enforcement procedures. My resolution would reestablish the very sensible and sound rule that the voluntary confession of an accused in a criminal case shall be admissible in evidence against him St his trial. It provides in substance that the only test of the admissibility of the confession of guilt in a tarjr shall not I supported' by ' &’ .... t. ti rule which the self recognized recently and wh all States whose . „„__ are based upon the common law. The effects of the Miranda case are being felt throughout the country. In New York, for example, the district attorney of Brooklyn has stated that there was a 40 percent increase in the number of suspects who refused to make confessions In criminal cases after Miranda. This has placed mounting bur dens on law enforcement offi cers, for the truth is that there is no stronger evidence against any suspect than his voluntary confession that he committed a. crime which must be established by other testimony independent of his confession. I expect to press for action on this measure, because I think it is evident that law-abiding citi zens need this protection. Local Folks Living Better Despite High Taxes, High Prices, Inflation Is the average Lenoir County family better off today than it was ten years ago, before taxes and the cost of living started zooming skyward? Have family incomes increas ed sufficiently to enable local residents to live better than they did a decade ago? A study completed by the Tax Foundation shows just how much more income a family must have these days to stay even with where it was in 1956. ff its earning capacity was $3, 000 at that time, it needs $3,655 now — 21.8 per cent more —■ to maintain its way of life! The $5,bQ0-a-year family of other days must receive $5,894, or 17.9 percent more, to equa lize. * The $10,000 family must have $11,764, an increase of 17.6 per cent, to be as well of fas before. In Lenoir County’s regional area, according to the Standard Rate and Data Service, mo6t families have more than made up for the inroads caused by higher prices and bigger taxes arid are living in better style than they did previously. The average net income local r ly rose from $4,780 per family ten years ago to $6,97i in the past year. It amounted to an increase of 45.8 percent, which is consider ably more than the loss suffer ed through inflation. Elsewhere in the United States there was a 40.1 percent gain in the period. As for the current year, fur ther . gains in income will be needed, both for the working man and for his employer, if their purchasing power is to be maintained at its present level. As 1967 got under way, they were faced with: bigger social security faxes, further inflation and q possible increase in Fed eral income taxes. Also under Tax Foundation scrutiny in the study were state and local taxes and the extent to which they have grown in re cent years. In the State of North Caro lina, these taxes have climbed from $115 per capita to $188 per capita in a period of eight years, it finds. The rise was 63 percent. In other states, the increases ranged from a low of 37 percent, in Oregon, to a high of 119 per cent, in Delaware. 1 ONE HIGH STANDARD The same thoughtful consideration and complete dignified service is accorded all regardless of the cost of the funeral selected.
