(ACCN) - "Every adult has a quite inalienable right to go to hell his own way," and it is futile to expect the criminal law to do much to stop it, Norval Morris, University of Chicago law professor of "An Honest and Politician's Guide to Crime Control," told the Chicago Bar Association recently. Addressing the CBA's Quarter-AnnuMeeting, April 22, Morris observed that despite the criminal law's inability to police personal conduct, we nevertheless have "the most moralistic legal system since John Calvin."

Sargent described the lt system, which apto plies only bodily injury insurance and took effect last January 1 in Massachusetts, before a house insurance subcommittee, April 30.

Vices Flourish We should have learned from history by now, the law professor and best selling author declared, that "whenever criminal law goes into the salvation business it tends to be inept." This is shown in such matters as attempts to stop gam- bling, various unorthodox sex practices, and activities connected with "victimless crimes," he added. When one tries to prevent "sin" through laws, Morris said, the twin results are the creation of a black market for the prohibited product or activity, and the inability to legitimately regulate whatever it is that is banned but flourishes TobU.SfBenches off of the rate of "index crime" over the next few years, followed by a resurgence of those crimes counted in the standard reporting processes.

Changes in these factors will affect crime indices, he noted. In addition, he said, "Index crime is in large part a function of a community's expectations from its system of criminal justice." Where enforcement is effective, a larger proportion of crime is reported, he explained. Therefore, "Index crime rates are not a particularly good guide to the condition of a anyhow.

Mansfield practiced law in New York City, formerly served as an assistant U.S. Attorney for New York and was named U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York in 1966. Mulligan, 53, and a native of New York City, succeeds J. Edward Lombard who also is retiring. Mulligan graduated from Fordham University and practiced in New York for several years before joining the University law school staff. He became the assistant dean in 1954 and the dean in 1956.

Despite past evidence that each extra agent increases collections by six times his pay, Congress has been reluctant in recent years to give the IRS all the money it wanted to beef up its enforcement and auditing forces. As a result, Thrower told a House appropriations subcommittee, the agency has acquired a "diminishing profile" that may be jeopardizing taxpayer confidence in this country's unique "self assessment" tax system. "The full extent of the degeneration in voluntary compliance will not be known until taxpayer compliance measurement surveys are completed in 1972," said Thrower, who is resigning to return to private law practice. "However, there are indicators pointing to serious noncompliance in every tax area," he added. under those conditions," Percy added. The food stamp law enacted by Congress last year denies stamps to a family if the head of the household refuses to take a job he can perform. In implementing that rule, Pollack suggested to a Senate hunger committee that no one should be required to work more than 40 hours a week or to travel to his job for more than 20 per cent of his working time. Percy said Senators often work 80 hours a week. Taxi drivers, foremen, teachers all moonlight, holding down two jobs, to feed their families.

(UPI) A legislative committee has killed a bill allowing Nevada casino owners to collect gambling debts. Las Vegas gamblers had strongly supported the bill, claiming they were losing $40 million a year because tourists refuse to pay their checks and IOU's. But State Sen. Coe Swobe, said there is nothing worse the legislature could do to the national image of Nevada gambling. Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee felt the casinos would file suits in other states to collect debts which would bring bad publicity for Nevada.
