L.EAA should be abolished, independent research groups says Associated Press WASHINGTON — An indepen dent research group says the Law Enforcement Assistance Administ ration is “beyond repair” and should be abolished. In a report issued Monday, the Center for National Security Studies urged Congress to dismantle the LEAA, which has distributed $4 bill ion to state and local police agencies since the federal crime-fighting agency was created in 1968. The LEAA has not reduced crime and has failed to find methods that will curb crime, the report charged. It proposed that the government create a “high level, scholarly re search” center in the LEAA’s place “to examine the causes of criminal behavior” and seek ways to reduce crime. The center is a private, non-profit research group with headquarters here. It specializes in topics includ ing law enforcement. Both houses of Congress already have passed bills that would extend the LEAA’s mandate, and conferees are seeking to reach a compromise on the length of the extension. The House bill extends the agency only through the next fiscal year and authorizes $1.1 billion for the next 15 months. The Senate bill would ex tend the agency for five years with an authorization of $5.1 billion. But the center’s report said the legislation that created the LEAA “was poorly designed and the prog ram has been poorly administered. The answer to this situation is not to throw good money after bad.” The center acknowledged that some state and local governments “may feel an immediate pinch” if the LEAA were abolished. It suggested that some federal grants could be continued through revenue-sharing. The report said it was recommend ing “with great reluctance” that the LEAA program be terminated. “It is too late to tinker with the program; it is beyond repair. Con gress should admit its failure and confront once again the basic ques tion of what the federal government can do to alleviate the burden of crime on the American people.” a] SKAGGS DRUGS & FOODS ) OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK UNIVERSITY DRIVE AT COLLEGE AVENUE PRICES EFFECTIVE WED.-SAT., SEPT. 8-11,1976 QUANTITY RIGHTS RESERVED Sims SHE ANTACID TABLETS ROLAIDS 150 TABLETS FAST SAFE LASTING RELIEF.

Agency spokesman Malcolm Barr said, “To place the blame for all that is wrong with the criminal justice system upon LEAA is hardly fair.” A&M will host conference for co-op engineers Two-hundred employers of stu dents participating in the engineer ing cooperative education program are expected to attend a conference hosted by Texas A&M University Friday, Spet. 10.
