ItAsA defense not covered by Utah statute, but by common law. There is a responsible legal opinion which says that entrapment must involve an inducement to commit a crime so strong that it overcomes the will not to commit it. Mere suggestion or inducement where ready compliance or habitual infraction is involved does not constitute entrapment. There is a problem with organized prostitution in Salt Lake. And passing it off as inconsequential, or ignoring it will almost automatically make the problem worse. On June 25, David Winder of Utahs United States Attorneys office wrote a letter to Ronald N. Boyce of the Utah Attorney Generals office. This letter reported a, statement given to Mr. Winder by a girl suspected of having been transported, into Utah in violation of the federal Mann Act. Although the girl later denied Procbtut from point. 1 m id h o uencefined to Whereuo in an antagonized the majority of Utah teachers -- - to a the point of calling recess Wemustneverfor-ge- t that only the teachers, not the administrators and state officials, have constant dally contact with our children. An antagonized and frustrated teacher will hardly be Inspired in the classroom. The only favorable settlement for, the taxpayers and for the state Is that which Is truly acceptable and encouraging to the teachers. Unless the teachers can be realistically shown that the administration Is svmpathetic to, rather than against them, and unless a new spirit of optimism can be generated in the teaching profession in Utah, we shall all be the losers. oblem and conseqnot, though, con postitution alone. - vice exists trade t! nmotu's often develops. Where pi flourishes, vul-n- ei become police dipirtments able to piyoff and corruption. Where i narcptic trade exists, theft increases. Thus a vicious cycle evolves from a vice which "ume call a necessary social evil. The argument that legalise A prostitution deters other social and criminil problems does not seem to hold much water in situations where it exists! Law enforcement authorities make it clear that the attendant problems far outweigh any disadvantages. Widespread prostitution offers the perfect opportunity for blackmail in business which leads to grave social consequences. The Salt Lake police department cannot hope to abolish prostitution entirely. What they hope to do is control organized prostitution involving panderers and solicitation with criminal professionals moving m and out of Salt Lake from other areas.

It continues to be so Informative and Impartial and fearless, I will predict, on that basis It will grow to be the equal of any paper in the state. I am especially appreciative of the letter from Mrs. B., who wants to earn her own living and stay off welfare, but needs a little help. Her letter Is verv Informative and very true.

Does anyone think a family of six ( such as Mrs. Bs) can live on $216 per month and maintain their health? No head of a family thinks so. No doctor thinks so. Yet, if any recipient should have an opportunity to earn $5, $10 or $20, It is deducted from their check, or if they have kept silent and are found out, they are cheating and subject to arrest, embarrassment, etc At the spring graduation of the University, of Utah, I saw approximately 150 young men and women graduating a social workers. These must surely have been assured that welfare Is a permanent thing. Indeed, If a real program of rehabilitation and even an allowance by law of the recipients to help themselves and to reduce the welfare rolls should be Inaugurated; 1 am 'sdre all the case workers and officials of the program would begin to pull political strings to sabotage such a program. I should greatly appreciate seeing in the Review, more letters and more articles on this Important subject, and and inquiry into how much the various relief programs are costing the taxpayers, remembering that unemployment compensation is also a relief program. Rehabilitation programs would more properly come under the label "welfare.
